Help: peer-to-peer network

[=?GB2312?B?u6i/qsL61MJGdWxsIE1vb24gZHVyaW5nIEJsb29]

Learned ones,

What is the set-up for peer-to-peer network for 2 home pc.. Could we
use 2 network cards link with standard network cable? heard that a
twisted standard network cable is needed.

And what are settings needed to be configured for Windows98 and Linux.

Thanks.
