If XP or 2000 is set to DHCP and you connect them via crossover (so they can't see a DHCP server) they'll automatically assign themselves addresses from the 169.254 netblock (MS's private "I can't find DHCP" block) and should be able to communicate. I'm not sure if prior versions (9x,ME) did that, or simply didn't bind to any addresses.
