Transferring Data

[Fina Junkie]

How would I transfer data from an older PC to a newer one directly ?

Would it be possible with just a USB cable ?
I think windows XP has this capability.

Crossover cable.

Or ethernet through a hub.

I guess you could do it with a USB, but not sure how. Can't be hard, it's windows.

Does windows have a wizard that will automatically setup the network ?

OS are different, 98 to XP, will that make a difference

If you're using a hub, just change the IP of both machines to something like:
10.0.0.1
and
10.0.0.2

Make the subnet mask:
255.255.255.0

Then reboot both machines.

Once they are up, you may have to search the "network" for other machines, but just open a browser and go to \\10.0.0.1/C$
