    Your powerbook has an autosensing ethernet card so you don't need a cross over cable. You can run straight ethernet from one machine to the other.



    You could turn on FTP or Apache on your Powerbook and set up a dummy TCP/IP network on both machines (enter an address manually on each machine).



    Then have the Nt machine use a web browser or FTP client to connect to the PowerBook.



    Hope this helps.
