I am not very well versed in networking. I have a LabVIEW application deployed to a PC that is not on a network. I followed the instructions in THIS KB, and used a crossover cable between my dev. laptop and the target computer. When I clicked on the refresh button it said that I had given an invalid name or IP address. I had given the machine name of the target PC (spelling verified). What now?

The link to the KB yields an error. Here is a fixed link.
If you are using a crossover cable, you should just use the IP address rather than a PC name. Because you don't have a DNS server on your simple PC to PC network, there is no way for PC #1 to know the name of PC#2 in order to resolve the name to an IP address.
