A three way? I really don't think thats possible. You can construct a cable that will allow you to connect two machines together without using a router/switch/or hub. But not three. Now if you used Mac's you wouldn't have to worry about silly things like cross-over and straight through cables. Mac's are autosensing and are nice.

Even if it was possible it'd be a crappy hack. Those connectors are not designed for two wires to be in each slot. Just go to Best Buy or CompUSA and buy a dirt cheap hub.

You need to be more specific on what you want, not just a "three way crossover" that I have never heard of. I also moved this to Networking since it has nothing to do with hardware....
