T400 ethernet allows direct connection?

[Edward Mendelson]

I'm about to help a friend migrate data from a T400 (running 32-bit Windows 7) to a T440 (running 64-bit Windows 7).

I know how to create a direct network using an ordinary Ethernet cable between two modern machines (I've done this two X201 machines) but I'm not one-hundred-percent certain that the Ethernet hardware in the T400 can handle this (and won't require a crossover cable of the kind we used in the old days).

Could anyone confirm that the T400 can handle this situation? Many thanks for any help.

It will work.

That's what I hoped. Thanks!
