In the recent past, I was experimenting with disabling some of the services to increase performance, as suggested in blackviper.com.  Anyway, I was trying to hook up my TR to my sony desktop computer (with XP) through the I-link which I have done in the past.

I was attempting this again last night, and the computers (through explorer) would not recognize one another.

Thus, does anyone no if this could be due to some of the networking services I was playing with or not?

This also leads me to my second question.  Would it be possible to use the I-link, connecting the TR to the Desktop (with a DVD RW), to burn a DVD?  What I am trying to do is burn a copy of the Vaio Recovery disks for the TR onto a DVD (via the desktop), rather than the 9 CD’s.

Thanks

One way to force them to see each other is to connect them, wait for 30 seconds or more and then do a Windows Key + F. Search for Computers or People. Choose Computer on your Network. Then type the name of the other computer and it should show up. It also helps and speeds things up if all of your computers are in the same workgroup.

I’ve noticed that iLink’d computers generally work pretty well when you plug them in together and then (re)start both systems. For some reason, the p’n'p for iLink networking is slow.

Thanks GrOOvyOne.  I will try that when I get home tonight.

Do you know if you can use the I-link and the Vaio Recovery of the TR to burn a DVD recovery disk, using the desktop DVD RW.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the DVD RW in my TR, and wouldn’t use it enough to make the upgrade.

Thanks

I don’t believe you can burn to mapped drives. You’d probably need an external unit to do it.

Bummer.  As always, Thanks.

Could it be possible to make an ISO from the partition, and then transfer the file over the network and burn it with Nero?
