Can anybody give me step by step directions on connecting two
        Windows computers, both running XP, together using and Ethernet
   cable.
        I have a lot of Rhino files to transfer from my old broken windows
        computer to another working windows computer.

        A 4 gig flash drive is too slow.

   Simple
   Pull the drive from the old non working computer and set it to slave
   mode with it's jumpers and then place it in the new working computer and
   then you can pull the needed files off of the old drive.

   I have done that in the past and it works very well but I can't do
   that here.
   Both computers are note books or lap tops. No second drive possible
   or perhaps
   just different physical sizes.

I have an external drive enclosure. You could do it that way.
For the cable route:
If you have a router you can use regular cables to connect both
computers to the router.
If you don't have a router you can use a crossover cable.
I did a quick search and found many guides:
This is just one:
