It might be not the best or most efficient way, but Yes you can use Firewire.

Yes you can, if they both have XP. It's also a lot faster than 100mbit networking, too.

Yes, I move files from my laptop to desktop all the time. Huge media files that is, since I don't have a dvd burner on my laptop, it's the only efficient way. Way faster than 100mbps ethernet.
