"You can find crossover cables on eBay for 3 or 4 bucks and all you need to do is plug the end of the cable into the NIC on each machine....and Whooppeee!"
So there are cables ready-made with crossovers? Cool!

So there are cables ready-made with crossovers? Yeah...I found a seller on eBay that has them in any length and color. I was looking to buy a cheap hub so I could link 2 laptops to play a network game of Scrabble and found that a hub isn't necessary for connecting 2 units. Just use a crossover cable. I think I paid $3.85 including shipping for a 5 foot red one and it works like a dream.
