If you have a hub/switch, use a regular CAT5
straight-through cable for each computer to connect. If you're connecting
directly from one NIC to another, you need a crossover cable.
Note - this is a Windows Update group. I suggest you post questions such as
this in microsoft.public.windowsxp.networking.
