basic home setup question

[Guest]

I am using xp pro on one computer and on the other home edition. Can I use
crossover cat45 cable to network these two computers? Is this peer to peer
networking and is this ok between xp pro and xp home?

If there is some problem between the two versions what other options do i
have?

thx
