I have 2 XP Home Edition Machines, is there any built in
software that came with windows that will allow me to
move files between the 2 with just a cat5 line, and no
router?
 
I'm not really in any position to comment (see Ethernet LAN problems) but to
use cat5 (twisted) you must have ethernet cards or what else does it
connecte to? So you should be in my position.

To simply transfer files you can use serial and parallel cables, it's not as
fast (so I read) and XP comes with simple transfer software.
 
You need a cross-over cable to hook two pcs directly
together without any device inbetween. "Cat 5 crossover".
One end is wired slightly different than the other.
