Re: Share connection Laptop-Desktop
On one end with the locking tab away from you and flat side facing you, you want the wires in this order left to right.
Orange-White, Orange, Green-White, Blue, Blue-White, Green, Brown-White Brown
On the other end,
Green-White, Green, Orange-White, Blue, Blue-White, Orange, Brown-White, Brown

Re: Share connection Laptop-Desktop
In short, sounds simple:
Plug in the crossover cable into both systems.
Have sshd running on one "test machine" and use a ssh client on the other "laptop".
However tons of info can be found on this vast Internet, I feel http://linuxbasics.org/historical/2005- … s=rute.pdf is a good read.
If you are looking for more help, perhaps join an IRC or some other live means.

Re: Share connection Laptop-Desktop
I've never tried it, but avahi looks like it's a very easy solution for this.
