Straight-Through Cable
In straight through cable the transmitting pair of wires are 1 and 2, the receiving pair of are wires 3 and 6. There are two major standards (ways) of using the colored wires, but important thing is, that the colors on the both ends of the cable are terminated identically. Please, look at the picture below.

Cross-over Cable
In the cross-over cable, the position of the wires is changed such that the sending pair is terminated at the receiving pair on the other side of the cable. It is illustrated below.

Straight cables are for connecting to a network jack in the wall or to a home router, or if you are trying to get on the internet period. A crossover cable is primarily used for networking two computers together to share files as a peer to peer. Also crossover cables can be used to chain two routers together.
But in simple english, use straight through or CAT-5 for basic networking stuff and Crossover cables for chaining up two devices to talk only to each other.
