Crossover cables are designed to directly network one PC to another (as a 2 P.C.
"LAN"), not for access to outside LAN/WAN's.
You could set up Internet Connection Sharing on the XP P.C., but I would recommend
installing a second NIC to the ME P.C. for LAN/WAN access, if possible. (NIC PCI
cards are inexpensive nowadays, even for Gigabit cards)
