I have a VGC-RA304 desk top and a VGN-BX194VP is it possible to connect the two together to file share, which is the best way? I dont want to record onto disc if I can help it, would Lap Link be an option?

That is happen to what you would like to share.
You can make a simple network with Windows and share specific folders.

You can use VAIO Media on both PCs or VAIO-Zone. That will do the same shop, just more nice and maybe more simple. (But it's limited in supported formats)

Or you could use Windows Media Connect. That's compare able to VAIO Media and supports more file formats. I would prefer this one if you want only share music, videos and so on.

VAIO-Media and VAIO-Zone should be preinstalled or on your recovery discs. You can get Windows Media Connect from the Windows Update site. You will find it under additional software updates.

Could you not just do an ad-hoc connection using your ethernet ports & a RJ34 cable

You can use the new conection wizard in network connections (control Panel) to set this up. select the sut up an advanced connection.

Does that answer you question?

Just use the WIFI connection and make an ad-hoc network if you don't have a router
