Direct ethernet to ethernet OS X to WinXP Pro?
I need to transfer some files (MP3s) from my iMac to my sister's Toshiba laptop. There are too many to use CDs, so I want to connect the ethernet cables together, but how to I get the computers to recognise each other?

MacOSX.org has a great tutorial on exactly this topic: networking OS X and Windows machines.
You can access the tutorial here. ...i didn't read the article (as i don't have my iBook til Monday!) But i assume i can use the same settings as the Other PC on the network, Just 192.168. yada, and entering my ISP DNS Server address?!
