The blame seems to be on the PC (of course), but my question in my second post is that I still don't get why the Mac also doesn't "see" that something is connected to it.unless it cannot if the PC is masking itself somehow. Apple Care says it should do this and they don't understand it. We aren't even being recognized and I'm staring at a whirling thing saying "looking for a computer" for hours. This is why I said in my first post that we have done everything in the link you provided, it is supposed to turn on, recognize so you can do something. Why do not the computers recognize each other when connected via ethernet cable? It's the very first thing we are doing when turning it on.
It took me a year to talk my boss into switching to a Mac and the last thing they want to see is that I'm at work 24/7 having to manually transfer a giant headache. The whole point of Migration Assistant is to do all this. It's not that I can't move files - I know I can do that, I want to avoid having to manually spend weeks recreating all the calendar items and email accounts (we have dozens), nested folders of emails and massive amounts of data already there.

If nothing at > Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac helps, you can also use a FAT-32 External Hard Drive to move files between PC's and Mac's.

If you go to the Windows Control Panel and look at Security, everything is disabled - EXCEPT "Internet Security Settings are set to their recommended levels" I have no ieda how to make that go away. The PC is a 2012 Dell XPS 8300 running Windows 7. All virus and security settings that I can find have been disabled. These are directly connected via ethernet cable hard drive to iMac.
I have downloaded and launched Windows Migration Assistant and it is also "Waiting for your Mac to connect." I am at initial start-up, with the "Select the Source" window and a whirling apple thing "looking for other computers". I have followed ALL the directions repeatedly (so please do not give me the link on "how to"), I have called Apple Care who do not have the answer. I am doing this for my work computer, which I just got a new iMac and really need to transfer my PC files (Outlook mail folders, calendar and contacts) into my new iMac. I am a longtime Mac user and have never migrated a PC to a Mac before. I hope someone who knows something about Windows PCs can help.
