Easiest way to transfer data from PC to laptop which is only 2 feet apart.

We have a PC with XP pro & a laptop with XP Home that normally sit just
about a 2 week apart apart. What is the easiest way to transfer data from
one to the other?

The use of a crossover cable and Setup of the Network Using the Network setup

and internet access.

If this is too complicated, then one can always use a USB memory stick.
