yes, with a crossover cable

2, What kind of Settings is important?

as long as the drivers are installed correctly on the two computers then it's fine

3, So after that can I use network neighbourhood?

set the same workgroup for both computers then select the shared directories/drives and they should show up in there

4, If PC1 use Lan A for Cable modem and Lan B for linking to me, can I use the cable modem service too?

you can use windows' ICS thing to share the connection

5, Do I need Sygate for Q4?

don't get your question
