Answer 1

If they are both on the same workgroup, try pinging each other. If you get succesfull ping then you probably have settings the wrong way on the permissions. Right click on my network places and click the link that says view workgroup computers. You should be able to see both of them there. Make sure you have the cdrive shared and with full permissions to network users. Also try going to start - run and type \\192.168.-.- (whatever the ipaddrss of the other machine is) and see if you have access. If you get the "not enough permission error" then you are missing something.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

You need to create a network of your own. Connect the two PC's together on a hub then to the Internet. It is not a good idea to have File Sharing enabled on a PC facing the Internet unless you have a good firewall.

Answer 3

Well the email would work but much more efficient to go buy a flash drive for $25 or so and it will hold one gig and you can get all your files quickly to your new computer instead of the 10MB at a time email attachment limit.
