How can I network a computer directly to a server?

I have a Windows XP computer and a Windows NT4.0 Server. I got them both at a surplus sale (that is why the server is quite old). If it is possible, how can I make a direct network between the two? I have a CAT5 cable plugged into their TCP/IP ports, but I can’t get them to network.

And configure both of the computer’s with appropriate network configuration (e.g. IP address, subnet, default gateway et cetera). For color combination required for a crossover cable, you may refer to: :)
