transfering files from 98 to xp

Can someone explain what I need to do to transfer all my
files from my old computer to my new one? Is there
something I can do other than networking the two
computers? I have tried to do this using the internet
connection wizard but it won't work. I am using a hub to
connect both computers to the cable modem but only my new
computer can get online this way. No matter how many
times I run the wizard on both computers it won't work. I
don't know what else to do. Please help me! Thanks.

I recommend that you network the two PCs. The the countless
posts in this newsgroup on how to do this - there are several
of them each day, most with detailed instructions.

If you know what you're doing or can get someone to help you, you can
temporarily put your old hard disk into your new machine.
