I just got a Macbook, and want to transfer all my info from the old ibook to the new macbook. The Macbook is requiring me to hook up the two with a fiewire cable, and not the cat-5 I was hoping would do the trick. Any work around to this without having to buy a firewire?
Thanks

set up sharing on the two, log in through the network icon in your finder window?

That'll take pretty long.
Use Firewire Target mode. Firewire the two together, and restart the iBook, holding down the T key. The iBook's HD will mount on the MacBook, and then you can drag and drop, with the speed that is Firewire 
I love Target mode.
