You need what is called a Cross-over cable.... but yes. These are not the same as regular CAT 5 cables.
I will edit this as it does appear confusing. Yes, you can connect a single cable between two PC's. No it cannot be done with a common CAT 5 cable unless going thru a switch/router. To avoid the switch or router, use a Cross-over cable.... also very common.

not with that cable, you need a certain KIND of cable, called a 'Crossover Cable' (looks exactly the same). All it is is a couple of the wires on one end are swapped from a normal Ethernet cable.
