Can I take two computers (laptops both) and plug them together directly from one nic to another with a "standard" ethernet cable? Or do I need a crossover cable or something to do that? And if I have the correct cable, will the two machines do some sort of peer-to-peer networking more or less automagically or will it be difficult to set up? One runs FC2, the other Mac OS X 10.3.7.

If they are both Gig nics a crossover cable is not needed.

Do laptops come with gig-E NICs?

some do... most newer thinkpads, some dells, non-ibook macs etc.
