oh god, if i could remember... i believe *if* you could get the two machines enet to enet, turn on filesharing on one, yeah you could nav to it, but i don't think that's going to happen without clearing out all her network settings on her old laptop (which is what's hanging you up in the first place).
as far as the network settings go, it's just like the holy-mac world, ip via DHCP, turn off proxies. dns servers would be helpful (for getting somewhere on the interweb), but if you have *any* set, they'll prolly work. i've not encountered 'authenticated' dns servers yet.
but, in the end it will prolly be much easier to pick up a firewire or usb2.0 pc card and use the corresponding external (or flash drive). if the new machine doesn't *have* usb2 already, it will need it anyway and flash drives are really cheap and handy to have around.
