Share files between laptops without prior network connection

Share files between laptops without prior network connection Is it possible to somehow connect two computers together and create a temporary network between them to share files? Every now and again me and a few other people need to share files, but there aren't any networks to connect to, and removable media is not really an option.

"Sure. You need to create something that is called an ""Ad Hoc Network"". You are not mentioning the OS of your laptops, you can easily search for it on google. For windows XP for example, here is a guide:
