In the article at http://ccm.net/faq/27359-how-to-share-files-between-two-windows-pcs please clarify: Do I connect the crossover cable directly from PC#1 to PC#2, or do I connect each PC to my router?

A diagram would have been helpful.

Thanks,
Dan

A crossover cable is for connection between two computers. If you have a Router then you would use two regular cables for the connection.
