Hi,I have a computer that only has WinXP FS9 and addon's...strictly for FS9 and didn't want to clutter it up by using it for the internet and other software slowing it down.Now my problem is...I got FSX from my fianc

Hi,You could copy the DVDs on the laptop, move the files over a network and then install.What are the specs of the FS9 computer? An older computer without a DVD drive may not run FSX very well.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

the FS9 computer isn't old, built it last year.The time waiting for a DVD drive and setting it up would be a PITA since I have RAID setup and no IDE for the DVD drive to connect to.Dang just found out Disc 1 has 4.11 gigs, and Disc 2 has 4.04 gigs!Is it possible to connect an enternet directly from my laptop to the FS9 only comp and have the FS9 comp pull the files from the laptop DVD drive?

Why not just get an external USB DVD drive?

No, you still need to get the files to the laptop.Do you have a router?Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

>No, you still need to get the files to the laptop.>>Do you have a router?>>Jim>>http://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpg>http://www.hifisim.com/Yes. Is there a way thru the router? It's just set up as cable modem > router > 3 comps.

Hi,Copy the files to the laptop.Set up a network between the FSX machine and the laptop.Move the files over.Install from the setup file from DVD#1.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Pardon me, I'm a newbie when it comes to this networking stuff. Care to point me in the direction to get it started and set up?I know how to build and set up a computer, but limited in networking other than setting up a wi-fi or setting up a router for the internet.Thanks in advance,-Chris

Finally figured out how to set up a network between all my comps. Was new to this 'workgroup' thing.
