Can you still transfer files from one computer to the next
even though you are not hooked up to the internet?

Thanks. I have bought a MN-620 Wireless Notebook kit. But
I don't have the internet hooked up yet. So I was
wondering if I could set this up now and transfer files
till I get the internet.
