There are only 2 types of cat 5 ethernet cable you will need for home use. Crossover and straight through. You need a crossover cable. The only thing that differs between crossover cables is the colour and the length.

The crossover cable will work in your desktop as well. The product specification on the HP site includes a 10/100 adapter on the motherboard. You won't need any other equipment.
