I find it absolutely incredible that this Microsoft website:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;293118#2
contains absolutely NO information about how to transfer
files from an old computer to a new computer using an
Ethernet connection. The Microsoft so-called "Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard" has no wizardly powers at all for
anything other than serial or parallel connections. Where
is the love?

In the Browse dialog, go to My Network Places. Or if you have a shared resource on the other computer, map it to a drive letter in Windows Explorer. Works like a champ.
