Can I connect my notebook to my desktop with just a RJ-45
Cable or do I need a Hub?

You can do it with a cable alone but the cable needs to
be a special cable with two of the pairs of wires in it
reversed. We call it a crossover cable and your local
computer store ought to be able to fix you up if you just
tell them what you're trying to do.

Good luck!
