If you knew how to crimp or wanted to learn more you could make your own cable.
This is call 'setting static IP>enter 1an IP like 10.0.0.2 in one PC and 10.0.0.3 in the other PC.
On the PC with 7, you will also need to enter 10.0.0.1 in default gateway.
The above has now set a stand alone network for just these two PC"s.
Windows 7 can't HomeGroup with XP, are you networked with another Windows 7 pc to be using the HomeGroup?
