that it needs a crossover cable? What is the device (make/model).
If it needs a crossover cable, simply plug it into both devices and open IE. Type the address in and you should have access to a logon page.

A crossover cable is about as simple as you can get: plug it into each computer and away you go. Network Wizard can be used if you are uncertain.

A crossover cable is typically used to connect two devices via their repsective ethernet ports.

Both devices need to be using the smae ethernet protocol to communicate.

If you are using TCP/IP as the protocol then both devices have to be configured with with DIFERENT IP addresses but within the same IP subnet, so they recognise each other.

e.g.

Device1 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
Device2 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0

Sounds like a job for the NSA!

Speifically the special items team!

I need a laptop that can access any type of electronic device!

I have to be able to take over said device in a moments notice!

And it has to be small and stealthy!
