hey. i have a windows pc with a bunch of files i want to transfer to dvd.. i
just got a macbook pro with the superdrive that supports double-layer dvds..
is there a cable that can connect a windows laptop to a macbook pro, so i
can transfer all the windows files and then burn them onto DVD-R DLs on my
mac? thanks.

Connect them with an Ethernet cable, turn on file sharing on the PC, and
tell the Mac to connect to the PC.

Hey. I tried your suggestion, but couldn't figure out the file sharing and
how to connect one computer to the other. This was after I physically
connected them with an ethernet cable. Is there anyway you could elaborate
on how to do this? I appreciate it.
Thanks,
