    what sort of cable have you got?

    if it's RJ45 (square plastic connector) it needs to be a cross-over cable, not a standard one.

    if it's Ethernet (round metal connector) you need to use terminators at each end of the cable, with t-connectors to plug in to the network cards.

    no idea!!

    I have seen pages on the web that explain it, but to be honest you'll probably be best to buy one - they should be about the same price as a standard one.
