Crossover ethernet cable

I bought an ethernet crossover cable the other day... very useful for linking two computers together and sharing files :)

If you want to do this go ahead but dont make the msistake which I did at first... normal ethernet cables DO NOT work. You need a crossover cable :)

And if any one is thinking of using XBox connect then you need to get a cross over cable aswell ;)

yes but then to actually get into the xbox's hard drive you need to know the xbox's IP address - this is exactly what the xbox mod chip does :)
