Yes, it's possible.  First, connect the cable and wait for one minute.
Then, determine each computer's FireWire IP address:

1. Open the Network Connections folder.

2. Right-click the 1394 Connection.

3. Click Status > Support > Details.

To access the other computer and transfer files, type the other
computer's FireWire IP address in the Start > Run box preceded by two
backslash characters.  For example:

   \\169.254.70.92
