Using Smart Connect 
Windows Me™
You can connect your VAIO®  notebook to another VAIO computer that has the 
preinstalled Windows Me operating system or the Sony Smart Connect 3.0 
software preinstalled. You may use an i.LINK®  cable (optional) to connect the 
two systems and then use one computer to edit, copy, or delete files on the other 
computer. You can also print from a printer that is attached to either computer. 
Select the STD mode in Smart Connect 3.0 software to connect with another 
computer that has Windows Me preinstalled.
Windows 2000
The preinstalled Smart Connect software allows you to use an i.LINK®  cable 
(optional) to connect your VAIO notebook to another VAIO computer that also 
has Smart Connect or preinstalled Windows Me. 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.
See Smart Connect online help for more information.
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.
If you have previously purchased a VAIO computer or notebook that does not have the 
Windows Me operating system or Smart Connect 3.0 software preinstalled, consult 
the Sony website for support options (http://www.sony.com/pcsupport).
