Networking

I am trying to network both a laptop computer runing
Windows Xp Home Editon and a desk top computer runing
Windows Xp Home Edition. I have got all the wiring
including: CAT5e Networking Cable. I have this wire
conected to both computer. I have also whent through the
small home business networking wizard. After I have done
all of this it still tells me that a "Networking Cable is
Unpluged". Please Help. Also I have made sure all wires
are pluged in.

Thank you,
Greg

You need a HUB or a crossover cable. get a cheapy hub to stick between the 2
boxes and see if that works.
