actually, we can connect two PCs using straight cable. you can use patch panel (which works as adapter for straight to cross-over cable) or you can use LAN card that supports auto MDIX technology (invented by Hewlett Packard). With auto MDIX any straight cable will work just like any cross-over. further information about auto MDIX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-MDIX
