If the PC's are hooked up with the crossover cable and you have "link-lights" at both ends then a simple ping should tell you whether the two machines can see each other.
i.e. At the command prompt, type ping 162.10.10.2 from the .1 machine.

I don't know what OS you're using but XP will almost always tell you when a new network link becomes active.
