remember
if you are connecting the computers directly to each other like this, you will need a "crossover" cable instead of a normal cable.

It might have been helpful
if the author of the video had mentioned you would need a "Crossover" network cable to make it work this way. Most cables available are "Patch" cables which require a switch, hub, or Router to work.

Just Plug the UTP cne cable
in windows XP, there is no need to assign Manual IP (Static one) becasue there is automatice private IP address assignment when there is absence of DHCP.
but in the system tray it will still appear as yellow mark

1st : IT must BE a CROSSWIRED CABLE
Otherwise U need an ethernet Rooter and 2 LAN cables

2nd : next time name it not just a "LAN CABLE", but RJ45 STP cat.7 or cat 9 cable.

  Why use expensive cat 9 or cat 7 when you can use cat 5 or even cat 3 with this very simple network?

- re:
  this is considered a local network. These settings will work anywhere in the world as long as the two laptops are on the same physical network. If you were to use a hub, say an eight (8) port hub/switch, you would be able to use this idea to connect 8 computers. In this video he is just bypassing the hub/switch. As long as the first three groups of numbers (192.168.1) are the same, the last group of numbers could be anything from 1 through 254. Please note that this video did not say anything about a cross-over cable. You would need this special cable to do this without using a hub/switch. A regular LAN cable will not allow this to work. To setup the easiest to maintain network, I would suggest getting a router (it can be the cheapest one you can find) and plug each computer into the router. If you use this method, you will not have to worry about setting the TCP/IP settings, just plug it in and boom! you're on the network.

  The setting only allow two computer to connect to each other. You can use it to play games that support multiplayer. Like Warcraft III DotA, CS, etc...

Wait
You mean to tell me laptops are not computers? I thought laptop computers were computers.

Hence "I need two laptops or two computers"

- re:
  I think this was a lazy/loose term for computers. Laptops are computers...you can hook just about any network device together (PC desktop/laptop, MAC desktop/laptop, network printers, game systems, etc.) and make it talk to all of the other devices. TCP/IP networks are very cross-platform.
