    Laptop to PC connection

    I have purchased a laptop and i would like to know how do i go about connecting the laptop to my computer. I dont know if this is possible but here is what i am thinking i would like to get my laptop to plug into my PC through an USB cable, in such a matter that when the laptop is plugged in it shows up on my PC as another drive. And then once that is there, i would be able to transfer data to and from my laptop. In other words i would like it to work like the digital cameras work, so when it is pluged in the PC identifies it and established a connection.


    Any help is appreciated.

    I am also open to other opinions of doing this in a different way.

    Please expain everything in detail or guide me to where i can get more info on this.

    Thanks

    Yup you just gotta go buy a USB cable that will do it!
    Commonly called US to USB Cable(PC to PC Interlink)
    It should come with it's own little software.

    Dont cost that much.
    Like USB - Link

    Why not a network? As long as both comps have Network cards...
