In the Installation, migration and backups section of the handbook, there's a page on Site to site transfer with phpMyAdmin and a FTP Client.

By the way, the Support forums is a better place for this kind of posts. Post installation is the most general one (if your problem isn't about installation or upgrading)

You don't provide much information about your site, the current environment it is running on, the system you are transferring it to and other such details but, in general, you should be able to run your site on the other system that you refer to.

Clear out the cache and session tables.
Backup the database
Zip up your Drupal installation.
Transfer zip file and db backup.
Restore on destination server, making sure you have changed any server specific information.

For more details, do a search. This question has been answered many times.

If both machines are on a network, you can access the drupal from the second machine by opening the browser and typing in the first machine's ip address... if the first machine is set up to serve to other machines on the network. Unfortunatly I dont know how to set it up like that. If your first machine is running linux, then it shoudl be fine. In windows, it may not be.

If you have basic familiarity with PHPmyadmin and FTP, this will help:
