I am trying to conect two pcs through the nic adaperts in
WIN XP, can I run a cable directly to each adapter?
 
What type of network? 100Base-TX?
If so, you'll either need a crossover cable or a hub or switch between them.
 
You can. use a crossover cable. Crossover cable is the same RJ45 cable with
the internal wires aligned for a
peer-peer communication(without a hub).

For purchase:

For making a crossover cable urself :):

(you have to obtain a crimping tool)
