all of the above..lol or u could setup a lan between ur desktop and laptop but i would suggest firewire if is available to you.. since it is capable of handling speeds of 400 mb/s

if you go usb to firewire it will only go to speeds that usb is capable of ..if you got a firewire port on each computer, go with firewire..if not than i guess just transfer using usb..

It is going to be faster to use usb 2.0 or firewire..

However, if that is not possible.. http://home.Comcast.net/~dhedge3443/network.pdf that is a guide that i wrote a while back.. it will set you up to share files..

unless you have a 10/100/1000 network..

one reason could be non MS firewalls running on one or both of the comps.
