As to your original question, I've never done a
LinuxBox-DirectlyTo-WindowsBox ethernet connection, but I have
done a WindowsBox-DirectlyTo-WindowsBox ethernet connection. You
just have to use a crossover cable ("rolled" cable) or a
(mini-)hub.
PS: This assumes you're using twisted-pair cabling; I reckon you
could use thinnet (coax) if that's the type of NIC you have.
(BTW, if everyone but IBM calls it a Network Interface Card, and
IBM calls it a Network Adapter Card, shouldn't we refer to it as
a NIC/NAC? Paddy-whack.... Sorry.)
