I need help finding the easiest way to transfer files from a desktop computer running XP to a laptop running XP. I have tried connecting the computers directly sing an ethernet cable, but I can't get the Files and Settings transfer wizard to work.

Jump to PostDid you use a "crossover" Ethernet cable or just a standard Ethernet cable? When you connect two computers directly together, a standard Ethernet cable won't work; you need a crossover cable instead.
(I'm moving this to the networking forum, as your question is directly network-related.)
