Actually Kim,

It sounds like like you just need to get a crossover Ethernet cable.  This
cable will allow you to directly plug one Ethernet port from one computer
into the other.  You can get these cables from most major stores I believe,
definitely Mail Order though.  Then just fire up apple talk and transfer
away.

The way to think about Ethernet ports is that the computer end is male and
the hub/switch female. You need a crossover cable to invert some of the
wires so that you can connect male to male

(ok, not the best example but no funny business meant! :-)..)

With a hub you would use traditional straight through cable to the hub and
the hub then does the converting.  Using a crossover with the hub won't work
either.
