To make things a bit easier vor M4 drivers:

If both computers have a network interface card, you need a "crossed" or "switched" ethernet cable.
If they are without Network, there are USB network cables or 0-modem (serial) cables .

So, what do you have?

The cool thing is once the cables are hooked up, that's all you need to worry about. XP will do the rest for you.
