Local network connection between Vista and XP - Help

Hello,

I just got a notebook running on Vista Home Premium. I now want to copy some files from my PC (running on XP) to my laptop. Could somebody please explain to me in detail how to set up a connection between the two computers? I already bought a network crossover cable for Ethernet. Says something 'bout CAT 5 on the box aswell.
Is there something else I need? I can only connect to the internet with one computer at a time. Hope that's no problem.
Browsing through other threads hasn't quite helped me yet.

thx in advance
