I have a desktop running Windows XP Home, a laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium, and an ethernet cross over cable. How do I set up the computers so I can share files between them? Neither are on any type of network (The only internet I have is dialup). Both have a base 10/100 network card.

I need to connect my desktop and laptop for file sharing. My desktop does not have an ethernet card. Found in some sites that an USB cross-link cable shall be used to setup a Direct Cable Connection between two PCs. Please let me know the step-by-step method to do the same and also some good brands of this type of cable.
