Well, I got a LITTLE farther.
I remember reading that modern systems no longer need crossover cables because their NICs can auto-crossover.
I guess this isnt always the case...
I dug out an old crossover cable I had and the systems were able to see each other once I plugged them in.
However, they still are not fully connecting.
My laptop claims that its an unidentified network and the desktop claims that there is "limited or no connection"
