If I am not mistaken, direct cable connection is the good old Null Modem. You need a special cable (null modem cable) to connect two PCs via serial port. Then you use any terminal program (the one with shipped with any Windows version will do) and tranfer data over the COM port. It will take forver.

OK I read your post again... it seems like you have your old PC connected to the network via Ethernet. So what you need to do is go to your old PC and share the folder (right-click > properties > sharing) you want to transfer. Then you go to your new PC and hopefully you will find your old PC in the Network Neighbourhood (Computers Near Me). Then you just drag shit over.

People had some problems with older versions on Windows on the network with Windows XP. You might need to type in

\\192.168.0.1\

into the address field in your XP box in order to see the other computer. Substitute 192.168.0.1 with the IP address of your old PC.
