use a switch and set static ip addresses for your computers or get a inexpensive router and set it up for your home network to use. Some of the newer network cards are able to flip the transmit and recieve so you won't need a crosover cable but others are not able to do this. the simplist solution is to use a inexpensive router/switch and set it up with dhcp to alocate addressing.
they are cheap most anywhere even on ebay and it will come in handy if you get dsl or cable internet
