You need to connect them with a crossover cable.

2000 Pro. I have an ethernet card in both computers and want to connect the
two using an rj-45 ethernet cable. This sounds simple enough but every time
I try to connect them, the icon on the task bar on both systems indicates no
connection between the two systems. Is there anyway I can connect one with
the other to share my high speed Internet access between the two? Thanks for
all help and suggestions.
