If so, have you used a "Crossover" network cable?

Firstly I have setup a network between my two netbooks using an Ethernet cable. I want to synchronise my outlook contacts and pst files and favourites. I already use Karen's replicator for backing these up to pendrive every night. Would this work over a network? What is the easiest way for me to do this? I have noticed two problems with my netbooks, on this one when I shut windows down it doesn't turn itself off, and I have to press the power button, go to the log-on screen and press turn off and turn off again and this works ok, what is causing this problem? Lastly, on my other netbook I have gone to log-on to windows and a sign comes up and it says that windows is unable to load the saved profile of this pc, it allows me to press ok, log-on and then run norton goback and get my profile back, what is causing this? It has only happened twice and I am able to load hal and get the pc speaking and run the goback.
