Connect Two Computers using a Crossover Cable

To make a "Crossover" cable you change the pin out connections on one end of the cable. If you do it on both ends of the cable you have crossed-over the crossover and now have a straight-through cable.
Requirements
- 2 meter CAT 5 (or CAT 5e /6) cable (Cable length depends on you),
- 2 RJ45 Connecters,
- Wire Cutter
- RJ45 Crimper for Pressing RJ45 Pins into the Cable
The pin outs looking from the bottom of the cat 5 end are as follows:
