What you need is a crossover cable. It looks the same as a normal RJ-45 but 4 of the wires are switched. They are usually a couple dollars more than a patch cable of the same length.

No. It's a rj45 conector. But 4 of the 8 wires are changed around on one end. Sometimes you can have problems. But very rare.
