Hello all,

Having trouble figuring out HOW (if even possible) to get my newER Laptop to connect to my older network.

I have two CNC mills running windows 95( i think. I don't usually need to look at that)
There is an old workstation running windows 2000

all three of those are wired and plugged into a network switch box (Linksys 5 port switch box)

I also have another ethernet cable running over to a desk with two laptops on it.
I have an old laptop there that has windows XP and is has a shared folder that I can drop the NC file into generated by MasterCam, then I walk to one of the CNC machines and load the file into the mill.
I have a newER laptop that is running windows 7. I NEED to get it connected to the network so I can eliminate the OLD laptop that is falling apart....


Ultimately, I'd like to get rid of all the MIDDLE COMPUTERS(workstation and the old laptop)

I LIKE to be able to just use the laptop and the two mills connected by the Linksys network switch box.

ANY help is MUCH appreciated !!!!!! THANKS ahead of time.....


Thanks,
Ron - "MrRogue"
