If your going from NIC to NIC without a hub, then you would need a crossover cable.
Here's a link, to show how to make one.

An obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
One note make sure when you build this cable shown on the provided link to make a 568b type cable. The "t568a" is a standard that is not used anymore other than in the military any cables you use any more will all be a t568b that way if later you need to use this cable to link two old hubs togetherthat dont have uplink switchs you wont have to make another cable.
