A crossover cable is used when connecting 2 computers together and a straight cable is used to connect a computer to a networking device like a network switch or router. This has to do with the send/receive pins of the cords, obviously when you need to connect 2 computers together you dont want them to be both sending through the same pin, so they are swapped so that what one computer sends comes through the receive port of the other computer. Networking devices dont need this as they are designed to work with straight cables.
