I've ordered a new computer and have around 10gb I need to transfer from the old one to the new one, unfortunately the old one doesnt have a dvdrw, so it'll have to be done via a network, as I understand it I need a cat5 crossover cable (have no inclination to go wireless for a one off,) will this do the job ?

And do I just use the XP 'create a new connection' wizard, presumably setting the folder to shared (and the computer as host) in order to get at them ?

TIA
