Transferring Network/Internet Settings to New PC

Thank you for the link to the article, R.

The F.A.S.T. looks like a better alternative (and cheaper, since I already have it). Actually, Intellimover and F.A.S.T. look identical from the screenshots.

But, F.A.S.T., like Intellimover, only specifically mentions "dial-up connections" will be transferred. Which is why I'm unsure if "dial-up connections" also includes DSL and other types of network connections. The link you provided, the MS knowledge base, and the manuals I've read do not mention anything about DSL or cable network connections.

While I can always ask the LL to re-do it, I'd like to just migrate everything and not have to bother him.

Thanks, again.

Try it.

I did "try it". FAST just did not work. Finally, found out that naming the new computer the same as the old computer did the trick and it was recognized.

Just have to say that when I'm asking for information/help, to be told to just "try it" comes across as somewhat condescending. I'm not totally computer illiterate and I'm not a garage geek. I fall somewhere in between. So before I've even posted a question here, I've googled, yahooed, and asked tech folks I know. I ask here in the hopes that folks in a larger community will have had a similar experience and have some info/ideas other than to just "try it". That's the kind of help I expect from a call center.

A lot of supposedly "straight forward" stuff is not all that straight forward. Right now, I want to network the new and old PC using USB cables. I do have the correct cables for it, but finding any simple information on how to do it is ridiculously difficult. Parallel connections? You bet. Serial connections? No prob. Infrared connections? Sure. USB - conflicting info and directions that are poorly written at best. I'll probably start with the info from MS's knowledgebase and see how things go.

Thank you.
