Answer by Dmitri Abaimov posted 25 Feb 2003 | Dear Ryan,
If you do not use router/switch, then you have to use ethernet cross-over cord, just like you would when connecting a PC. Use this page for the pinout or better yet, use the link on the page to buy a factory-made cord. This is what I always recommend because making your own cord requires specialized tools, skills and test equipment.
Sincerely,
Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
