From there you'll need to assign each adapter a static IP address, say 10.2.1.0 and 10.2.1.1 in the same subnet
Share a folder on the machine you're copying from and move all the stuff over.
Don't guess the copy from machine has a DVD or CD burner does it?
It depends on the cards. I wasn't aware of autosensing cards but about 4 hours ago I took a network wire an unplugged it from a machine, stuck it in a switch and ran another wire from the switch to the machine. The switch had no uplink ports. I did *NOT*, however use any crossover cables--the switch figured out the backwards cable and worked with it fine.
