Not only do the two systems not see each other if I try to transfer files, when I try to "ping" them neither sees the other. Any advice? At this point this may be more of an intellectual exercise than a working problem, as before acquiring the Crossover Cable I simply placed both on the local network and used "remote desktop.
Slower than the Crossover is supposed to be, but it did work. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.

In order for this setup to work, there are a few things you need to make sure are setup or configured properly. I will try to go through all the different steps in this article. Usually, if you are using a crossover cable to connect two computers, the computers are not connected to a LAN network.
In this case, you will need to configure static IP addresses for each computer. You have to make sure that both computers have IP addresses that are on the same subnet. For example, if you give one computer an IP address of If you used the above IP addresses, you should use a subnet mask of If you use an incorrect subnet mask, the connection will not work.
Lastly, the value for the default gateway should be the same on both machines. You can pick which IP address you want to use, but use it on both computers for the default gateway. Below is how my setup looks for one computer:. If you need more info about static IPs, make sure to read my post on how to assign a static IP address in Windows and Mac.
