dangit!
ScottC!!! I was JUST about to say this,

but yes, with a nice crossover, you can setup a sweet laptop to laptop, or desktop to other network with great speeds. I have this setup with a crossover and two IBM laptops both with GIGE so the transfer speeds are very fast.

Then, one of them has a wireless card setup connecting to the network for data transfer and internet. It was a bit of jiggering but it worked out, took about 20 minutes of trouble shooting and resetting and trying and resetting. I think there was SOMETHING that I cannot remember that required a reboot.
