I have a new laptop and I want to transfer a bunch of old files from an older
XP computer to this new XP laptop. Can I use an ethernet cable to do this?
How would I set that up? Doing it over a wireless network takes ages.
 
Hi,

Yes but you need either a special Ethernet 'crossover' cable. Or, use 2
Ethernet cables plugged into a hub or router of some kind. The most basic
DSL or cable router/modem usually has 4 Ethernet ports. Shove each notebook
into that.
You can run the home networking wizard then and away you go. (In theory ;-)
