Is this the right cable? 25 ft Molded Cat5e Certified RJ45 UTP Crossover Network Patch Cables.
Can I just connect the systems through the NICs? Or do I need a switch or hub?
I just want to shair internet, files, and two printers between the two systems.
 
Yep, that's the right cabling for a NIC-to-NIC network. Just plug one end in one NIC and the other in the other NIC - there ya go! For tutorials and help with setting up a network, sharing the Internet, printers and files etc., go and check out http://www.practicallynetworked.com/. It's a great site 🙂

Hope that helps!
