    Ethernet is a standard, not dependent on operating system. Connecting two
    Macs, two PCs or one of each can be done with a crossover cable or with two
    straight through Cat 5 patch cables and a hub.

    The following books offer excellent tips on simple networking questions like
    this:

    The Little Network Book (Poole and Rizzo)
    Macintosh Windows Integration (Rizzo)
    Crossing Platforms (Engst and Pogue)
    Windows for Mac Users (Baron and Williams)
