I assume you mean CAT5 Ethernet cable?

1- For connecting computer to computer , Monitor to Monitor and Printer to Printer .

Use cross cable for this.
I'm not sure what you mean by monitors and printers, they use different cable.

For connecting computer to DSL Modem ( Internet ) , satellite receiver to DSL Modem .

Use "Straight Cable" for this. (Its usually know as a Patch Cable).

Thanks compufunk for replied

Let me rephrase my question again

1- connecting my laptop to Internet DSL Modem

2- connecting my satellite receiver to Internet DSL Modem

3- connecting my laptop to my satellite receiver

1- connecting my laptop to Internet DSL Modem

patch cable, (Straight).

2- connecting my satellite receiver to Internet DSL Modem

Patch cable.

3- connecting my laptop to my satellite receiver

Direct connection between laptop and receiver (no modem/router/switch/hub between the two)
Crossover cable.

connect receiver to laptop via modem/router/switch/hub (the sensible option),
Patch Cable.

You can do it all with patch cables (Straight) Just connect everything directly to the DSL modem with patch cables if you have enough ports,

In this country, the cables are often colour coded, pink, or yellow, to determine which cable is which.
