Ethernet Crossover Cable 2 internet connections? - Cameron - 06-17-2014 08:16 AM

My brother and my computer is hooked together with a Ethernet Crossover cable to play LAN video games. My computer is connected to the internet via wireless router and wireless network usb card thing.

Is it possible to spread my internet connection to his computer using the ethernet crossover cable?
Our computers both ping eachother perfectly

try going to you network connections screen in control Panel and right click on the internet connection then go to sharing and tick the box saying share this connection ... bla bla.

it should work
make sure the cable is the right way around as i think each end will have a different wire combination on a cross over cable
