re: networking with crossover cables Friday, November 9, 2007 at 6:49 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DNA (553 messages posted) 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.
