You MUST have a crossover network cable connected to the two machines if there is no hub/router between them.

A crossover cable swaps the send/receive cables on one connector.

unplug and replug it back it that always works
I think you have twisted pair confused with a crossover cable. You need a crossover network cable between 2 network interface ports before it will work. A crossover cable is simply a networking cable with the wires on one end reversed. Sounds like everything else you have done is right tho!

Looks like LOOKLIKE gave you every answer but the right one!
Hi

Please make sure to check the following

1) Make sure the cable your are using is Cat 5 Cross over cable, two computers are connected through cross cable.

2) Make sure the light is glowing when you connect the cable to your second computer, this indicates the cable is working fine

3) Make sure the ethernet card drivers are installed well, this can be checked in your device manager
