Sony PCG-GRX580P - Manual (Page 91)

Connecting with another VAIO computer
The preinstalled Microsoft ® Windows ® XP operating system enables you to use a compatible i.LINK ® 1 cable (not supplied) to
connect your VAIO notebook to another compatible computer. You can then use one computer to edit, copy or delete files
on the other computer. You can also print from a printer attached to either computer.
Connecting with an i.LINK Cable
When you connect two VAIO computers, you must assign each computer a unique name. The computers can be identified
by this unique name when the two computers are networked together
To connect VAIO computers that do not have the latest Windows ® operating system, Smart Connect software may be
necessary. Consult the Sony Web site for support options ( http://www.sony.com/pcsupport ).
