Connecting With Another Vaio Computer - Sony PCG-FXA47 VAIO User Guide (primary manual) User Manual

Connecting with another VAIO computer

You can use an optional i.LINK®
another computer that has the preinstalled Microsoft® Windows® XP operating
system or the Sony Smart Connect software. You can use an i.LINK cable (not
supplied) to connect the two computers and then use one computer to edit, copy
or delete files on the other computer. You can also print from a printer attached to
either computer.
Connecting with an i.LINK cable
✍
When you connect two VAIO computers, you must assign each computer a unique
name. The computers can be identified by this unique name when the two computers
are networked together.
To connect VAIO computers that do not have the latest Windows® operating system,
Smart Connect software may be necessary. Consult the Sony Web site for support
options (http://www.sony.com/pcsupport).
