If you are not use a router or a hub then you need a crossover cable I belive.
Yeah without a hub you'll need Cat 5 crossover cable. If you have a normal cable then you can easily rewire it to a crossover configuration. This guide will you show you which wires to connect to which.
thanks for the help i am new this networking stuff
