Here is a good diagram of a crossover cable:

This is what you need to network computer to computer with no hub/switch in between.

w/ = white stripe on solid color, o = orange, g= green, b=blue, br=brown
straight = w/o, o, w/g, b, w/b, g, w/br, br (both ends)
crossover = w/o, o, w/g, b, w/b, g, w/br, br (one end) w/g, g, w/o, b, w/b, o, w/br, br (other end)
rollover = w/o, o, w/g, b, w/b, g, w/br, br (one end) br, w/br, g, w/b, b, w/g, o. w/o (other end)
that is the standard color coding but technically you can you any color code as long as it matches on both ends and the pairs are not split. Standard RJ-45 pin pairs are as follows 1&2, 3&6, 4&5 and 7&8. For a PC to PC connection without a router you need a crossover cable, straight-through cables are for PC to router/switch/hub connections and rollovers are for special purpose.
