I have a iso file that is 2.2GB I tried to burn it on a dvd but I'm failing every time I try and I don't have a usb thumb to put it on it and transfer it ....is there a way to transfer this file to another computer other then discs or usb thumb???

Yup, you can connect the two PC's using a crossover cable and send it that way.

Thank you for your answer....
I don't know what is that a crossover cable ...where do I find it ...do I need a special program to run the transfer?
Please help me on this one!

Here is a crossover cable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812117853

You dont need any special software, you will however need to configure the PC's network settings in order to transfer the files.

If the two computers have Network Interface Card in each one of them you can use the crossover cable and connect them together.
I will tell you some easy steps so you can share data between the two computers.
After you connect the cable go to Control Panel- Network Connections - Right click on Local Area Connection and click on Properties, Double click on Internet protocol.
Now set the IP address to something like "10.10.10.1" and the subnet mask to "255.255.255.0"
Now go to the other computer and do the exact same steps but this time make the IP address a little different like "10.10.10.2"

Now that you have a connection between the 2 computers you can right click on any Drive or Folder and click Sharing and Security.
Click on just enable file sharing and share the folders.
Assuming you shared a folder on computer number 1.
Go to computer number 2 and click on Start-Run and type this without quotes "\\10.10.10.1"
Now you can copy data.

This was given to me by shady a while back.
