Most newer Macs have auto sensing and do not need a crossover cable
anymore, they can do the crossover internally if they detect that
they are connected to another computer instead of a switch or hub.

Thanks, and since I have always used a hub, switch or router, I did not know
the new auto sensing capability

Apologies for the OT question. I have an XP system and an OSX Mac sitting

There is the 'old' way of using a cross-over ethernet cable. This allows
the 2 computers to use that port to talk and listen. price is about $20.
catch is that you are now using the port this way, so no internet access.
Google 'crossover ethernet cable' to see how it is wired. Not many around

so it is very unlikely that the cable you have is crossover.
All Macs for the last few years automatically crossover the
connection if you use a standard ethernet
Thanks for your clear instructions. I just taped them to the monitor for my
XP box as I can never get that thing to be on the network consistently. I
also absolutely hate window's wizards and while I'm at it why is Outlook
such a bad program while Entourage written by the same people works so
Scott,
You can do it but it may be more time consuming than it's worth because of
the potential gotchas.
First, not any Ethernet cable will do; you typically need to have a
crossover cable. Most modern routers and switches (hubs) auto-detect and
compensate for cables of either wiring flavor,

Hello,
FYI, it is not necessary to use VPC for that. On the PC side, I have
Client for MS Networks installed, together with the correct ethernet
drivers. I have also a TCP/IP protocol defined for that Ethernet
driver, with the correct IP number and subnet mask. Then I turned on

Unfortunately, these ad hoc networks are almost never straightforward.
Been there, done that. And the OP couldn't get it to work either. Not trying
to be negative, just trying to save people time.
