The best course of action is probably to report the site with Google's Safe Browsing Service: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/?hl=en Firefox uses Google's Safe Browsing Service [1] so reporting there will also help Firefox users. Ideally you would also file a bug

Almost all adapters made in the past 5 years or so will support Auto-MDIX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-dependent_interface) GB Ethernet does not need Auto-MDIX except when communicating with a 10MB or 100MB adapter. Take a standard Ethernet cable and plug the two systems together. If the

all you need to do is set an IP address on each system. use your google-fu to find out how to do this in the OS running on each of those systems. for example: https://www.google.com/#safe=off=how+to+set+an+ip+address+on+windows+xp

What you want is known as a crossover cable. Technically, it is an ethernet cable wired as T568A on one end and T568B on the other. Most anyplace that carries computer stuff should have one. (Not counting Walmart, Fred Meyer, etc.) If you have the ability/desire to make your own, a Google search

They both have wifi[1.2]. Have them both connect to your wireless access point and they should both be able to talk to each other. But if you do want a direct connection, use a regular patch cable between them and manually assign each their own IP. Both of those systems have GigE NICs [1,2].

I suspect what I'm looking for is ONE 3 ft piece of terminated Cat6 cable ;) I have two laptops - one (a Lenovo T43) speaks only WinXP Pro, the other (a Lenovo T430) only Debian Jessie. Sometime back I attempted to have them communicate via ethernet - hence the availability of the Cat6 cable.
