I go and snag a new Toshiba Qosmio and am trying to transfer files from my old laptop using an ethernet crossover cable.

Sounds simple don't it?

Well it sure ain't. Using the transfer wizard from both XP OSs it's more complex than reading a contest thread on GFY.

Finally, I had to go to this site to get instructions.

Didn't know the option existed. No wonder people are screaming for help in file transferring.

Used to be you could just connect em', go to the networking wizard and be done.

Anybody have luck with this?

btw, I got my Qosmio for $800 less than the MRP!!! Pays to go to Cnet and shop!
