Although doesn't really count, I have relatively recently connected someone's windowsXP PC to my windows7 64 bit machine using a crossover/twisted pair network cable, and on both machines we specifically just made sure they were both using TCPIP, with the same subnet mask, and assigned them relatively similar virtual IP addresses (not too sure that's the right terminology, but it means made one of them 192.168.1.100 and the other 192.168.1.101 since those are IP addresses that don't really get used in real world), and then on both machines, selected a specific folder and on something like tools menu in windows explorer told them to render as shared, and made some changes to sharing permissions, and then we could copy files backwards and forwards using something like run \\machineName\folderName on both of them, but this was a rather temporary, quickfix idea and don't honestly remember too many details, but, think it was making use of TCPIP4 or thereabouts, and it did work, but anyway.
