You have received lots of good advice, but I am going to backtrack a bit and ask a very fundamental question.
Did you remember to buy a 'Crossover' cable instead of the usual 'straight through' cables. ?
The Ethernet interfaces on your computers are not intended to connect directly to each other. They will normally connect to a hub, switch, or router. If you want to connect computers together directly you need to get yourself a crossover cable.
There is usually a little green light by the Ethernet socket that will light up when it is connected correctly.

Dear,
I have told the guy I need it to connect two PCs. As a matter of fact I was using this cable to connect two Windows XP boxes and it was fine.
Thank you
