You need to cross over pins 1 to 3 and 2 to 6
1-3
2-6
3-1
6-2
1&2 are TX and 3&6 are RX
Other pins in the RJ45 are not used for ethernet connections.

Easiest way is to just go to my computer and right click your c drive etc... and then select share drive or folder.
Then on next pc use the my network places to navigate to the other drives or folder and either copy to or from the folder.
