Networking problem - advice please !?

Hi;
I am trying to network a new Windows XP pc to an older Win 98 pc. Both have Ethernet cards and I have run through the XP Network Wizard and set up both machines. Under Device Manager, both machines indicate that the cards are working normally. I have a single Catagory 5 cable running directly between the two adapter ports.
Neither machine recognises the network. The XP machine says that the "cable is disconnected". I have checked the cable with an ohmmeter and all seems well - I get continuity on all 8 strands of the cable..
What gives? Do I need to have a network hub for some reason to get this to work? This is my first time setting up a network, and I would really appreciate some help, or a link to a Network FAQ.
Thanks a lot.
