If you have NIC cards in both machines then you could connect a crossover cable to transfer the files to PC

you could use two ethernet nic
but make sure you use the correct protocol.

With Win98 if you go into the CONTROL PANEL-ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS and highlight COMMUNICATIONS and click on the DETAILS button at the bottoma new window will appear simply titled COMMMUNICATIONS. Be sure ther is a check - mark next to DIRECT CABLE CONNECTION and click on OK. This will allow for a serial or a parallel connection for file transfer with out having to load new hardware and hardware drivers. Following is the link for configuring Direct Cable communications.

The easiest way without any cables and crap is Infra-Red. Thats if both hav IRA. Otherwise download laplink Program and connect with parrallel cable..much faster than serial.
