Pretty sure not possible there... If so you will need a special crossover ethernet cable available at future shop, radio shop, or staples.

I had this in my files;

Networking Windows XP to Mac OS 8.1

Since people were wondering what program to use to connect XP to older Mac OS's.

Since Windows XP no longer supports the AppleTalk Protocol. I found that the best program to use was PC MacLAN. I first connected both computers via Cat5 cable to a switch. I downloaded the trial version, which you can use for up to 180 minutes. After I installed it and went through the configuration wizard, I used Miramar AppleTalk Network and it recognized the Mac right away. Double clicked on computer icon, prompted for a user name and password and that was it. It makes it very simple as long as you have enabled on your Mac file sharing, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk.
