I was wondering if this is possible,

Im building a low end server, and i need a way to hook it to the net. Since it will be in my room, it will be next to my regular pc, which im connected to the net thru a wireless NIC. Since my regular pc in my room is connected through a wireless nic and it has an empty onboard lan port, is it possible to connect the server to my pc using a crossover cable, then have it go to the net through the wireless nic on my pc, to the server. Here's a model

SERVER ---crossover cable--- my pc, wireless connect to router--- router --internet

Can i get net on the server this way?

Thanks
 
Yes.
I've done something similar except it was all wired. Was at a LAN when we ran out of ports.
 
Yes it is very possible XP makes it a lot easier too.
1. Connect both wires.
2. Open connections....
3. Right click the internet connection.
4. Bridge it over to the other connection.
5. Done.

PM me if you get any trouble
