Windows "Easy" Transfer won't work with my home network, nor will it

I cannot believe that people put up with this shit.

If I had two new Macs, I'd have been done *hours* ago.

eh. when things work smoothly, it rocks. when it doesn't, it sucks.
that's the case with ALL os's, and thankfully it's generally becoming
less and less of a problem. i.e. when i first got my macbook, it
wouldn't talk to my san (running linux) even though my xp and vista
boxes worked fine. and it never talked to my canon printer attached
to my network print server (got a new hp printer).
