It's no different from a straight cable settings wise.

Simply give both computers a different IP in the same range (192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 for example) make sure they have the same netmask (255.255.255.0, on home networks you'd hardly ever see anything else)

Voila it should work.

Simply go to the properties of your networkconnection and doubleclick tcp/ip, then do what i said
Shouldn't be a problem.

Some modern hardware can automatically do the crossovering in hardware, eliminating the need for a crossover ethernet cable.

Xbox's can do hardware crossover, I can use crossover or regular for connecting mine and my friends xbox's.
