Yeah, Miles, I used it on my network, not across two networks. Ditto worked fine on my network.

I like NetworkClipboard for the more file types that it will sync.
But I haven't tried that across networks.

Seems Dropbox would be good, it's pretty fast in transfering files of any type, and 2gb free would serve well. Limited to two computers if I recall correctly. For the free version....

Then email and IM's, I would recomend Skype, resource usage is lower then the other IMs I believe.

A few others that are different.

All I did was install it on both computers, start it up, and fill in the name of the computer to connect to on each machine in the friends tab.

So just two computers. I just put the name of the computer in, not the address.

Hmmmm guess I'll try some others until I find one that knows how to make a chime on Vista64.  Either that or gives some visual cue.  Too annoying otherwise.

Though I don't try it before, but my current favorate clipboard software, clipboard recorder, does support copy through network.

Thanks cmpm.  For all I do it may be easier just to use Mouser's screenshot thingy and move the file to a shared folder.  Then have some dedicated shortcut that opens Clipboard1.jpg or something.

Or put a shortcut to the shared folder where ever you want it. For different types of files. As well as a dedicated shortcut/s to a specific file type and name.

NetworkClipBoard uses a shared folder. I don't know how that would work between two networks though.

I'm not using on separate networks.  Just a workgroup. Network Clipboard I did get to work.  Unfortunately I don't get any sound on the Vista64 side.  So there's no cue to tell me if it copied to clipboard.  I have to go over to the other machine and try paste.  I'm using a kvma switch so that's a pita if it's not reliable.  Plus I don't really like triple hotkey combos.  It would be nicer if they gave a choice of hotkeys.

That Network Clipboard does actually work! What I needed was a cue to let me know I got all the hotkeys pressed and it actually got the copy or paste signal.  I wrote a quick and dirty ahk script to play wav files on copy and paste and just pass the hotkey on to Network Clipboard.

The wav files must be named copy.wav and paste.wav and be in the same folder as the script.
Works fine once you get the cue to know you actually did the operation.

Actually, for the Copy side wouldn't it be better to have the script watch the shared folder and then play a sound when a new file, (clip), is detected?

Not for me.  I use a kvma switch.  The only sound comes from the currently active PC.

The source is there if you want to modify it for yourself.
