Yes, cross over if going direct to the PC, but standard if using a router.

Eric,
I have just recently started using ASCOM on my Mac laptops, one with a separate partition with windows 7 64 bit version of Home Premium. the other with a program called parallels, which runs Windows 7 in a virtual environment with Mac OS. I am certain the below comment will apply to windows on a PC as well.
Connecting each works well using Ethernet for the connection to the Gemini controller. The Ethernet connection between the PC and Gemini 2 will likely need to be made using a Ethernet cross over cable.
Alternatively a Ethernet cable from my home network can be used directly. Please read the Gemini 2 to network instructions on Gemini 2 Mount Controller <> website.
