[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 417738, member: 15110"] Absolutely! You simply need to network the two computers together. The easiest way is to create a Shared Folder on your Windows computer and then connect your Mac to that Shared folder. Follow this guide to setup a Shared Folder on Windows: [url]http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/filesharing.htm[/url] Then follow this guide to connect your Mac to that Shared Folder: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106471[/url] Your computers must be on the same network, so you need to have a hardware network before you can do the software part. Make sure they are both hooked up to some sort of networking device such as a router or switch. As far as adding more USB ports, all you need is a USB hub. Here is a link to a good one that splits 1 USB port into 7 USB ports: [URL]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00008VFAF/?tag=macforums0e4-20[/URL] [/QUOTE]
