Help transfering with network
I am trying to transfer files and folders from my old dimension pc to this new xps with a network but for some reason, the xps does not give me an option to use a network as the old computer "dimension 4550" does in the files transfer wizard. I have all the computers in my home networked thru a router and I cant continue with the transfer because as I have said, the xps file transfer wizard does not give me the option to use a network connection.
What I dont understand is the file transfer wizard disk I made was made with the xps. Beats me, I am stuck and in need of some help.

well, i cant get the two pcs close enough to crossover. the old pc is in my sons room a dimension 4550 and the new pc "xps" is here but about 80 foot distance apart. I have them networked thru the ethernet with a broadband router and the disk made with my xps gives the old pc a option of using the network but my xps wont give me that option. Ive also tried connecting thru ports but it wont connect and transfer that way either.- I have a cross-over that is 100 ft in length.
So, you have at least two options:
1) Move one of the computers for the duration of the transfer so that the systems are next to each other
2) Buy (or borrow) that long Ethernet cross-over which will reach.
