If I understand your question, a crossover cable is a standard network
cable, but with strands 5 and 7 crossed over from side to side, and it then
lets you connect 2 computers directly to each other via their network cards,
for file transfer, etc., but unless one of them was also connected to
another network/internet connection, it wouldn't really be able to share
it's internet connection with the other computer, and that would also work
quite differently depending on type of connection, operating systems, etc.
I have just in the past used cross over network cables to transfer large
amounts of data between different computers, etc., but anyway...
Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] any special features for cross over cable
Hi
The subject tells it all. I recently noted an email in which the outline
of connecting two PCs for net working with a cross over cable was
discussed. the cable was simply called a UTP cable.
I presume such a cable has USB connections on each end. Are there some
specifications I should know about to purchase an appropriate connector?
Any help would be appreciated.
The computers are an XP and a W7 and I am currently using Jaws 11.
Thanks,
Lloyd Fuge
