Cable for offline lan gaming laptop to pc

[iFlashe]

Me and my friend want to play mw3(teknogods) offline through lan. Can you please suggest the best crossover cable available. What is cat 5, cat 5e, cat 6, etc. And whats the category of a typical crossover cable? Please help, i am stuck from many days. Thanks in advance.

As long as at least one of the PCs has Gigabit ethernet, any cat5 cabel will do. You don't need a crossover cable and there is no difference between the cable categories for this type of use.
