Hi, i need to do a simple test of the Ethernet of my rabbit RCM2200 and i dont have a LAN at home :S (or router either).

Can i use a cross over cable for testing (an ethernet cable) ? Can i connect the rabbit module directly to my PC and use all the ethernet codes and stack TCP/IP witout problem ?

Thank you very much!
