Connections between two computers

I am attempting to connect two computers using a
crossover cable. The reason for this is I am trying to
run some diagnostics that are installed on one computer
on the other computer. I have a tech bench set up w/ a
testing computer. I have a client's computer that I
would like to run the tests on. I am assuming that when
I set up the network, the tech computer will be the guest
computer and the client's computer will be the host, as I
will be pulling the info off the client's hard-drive to
test it. When I attempt to set this up thru my network
connections wizard it is not working. Could someone
please help me?

Not all network cards support the use of a crossover cable. Also, if you do
get it working, there is no "host" or "guest" PC on a peer-to-peer network.
