Transferring old files...

Hi All,
I am new to XP Pro and have an easy question. 98 SE is installed on my old
computer and from what I have read, I can easily (at least that is what the
articles all say lol) transfer my files, etc. I went to a local office supply
store and was given a "Cat 5e Crossover" patch cable RJ45 male/male in order
to accomplish this task. Now to my problem. I am not sure how to go about
this. Will I simply plug each end of the cable in and go from there with the
files and settings transfer wizard, or set up a network connection? Any info
is greatly appreciated
TIA
