Transferring Files and settings between XPs

I now have my son's Gateway with XP pro and I wanted to transfer anything and everything from my older PC with XP pro also. I have initiated the transfer wizard on both PCs. I hooked up a crossover cable and started the wizard on direct cable connection. Both PCs search for the other yet never find. I've disabled both firewalls. I can use the netword drive option on the wizard and it finds the other computer, but when I click on the shared C drive, it tells me a network path cannot be found even though it also shows folders from the other PC. I can even open up files on either computer and view pictures. I just can seem to transfer my settings and files between them. I've ready a number of post with similiar file transfer issues, but no luck yet. I'm looking to transfer everything included email. I would like to discard the old PC. Thanks,

I was able to resolve this on my own through trial and error.
