you really haven't given enough information. My first instinct is to say yes it's almost always possible to get an internet connection over an ethernet device. |

If you don't have a switch/router and are trying to plug two computer together directly from NIC to NIC you need a special cable. However as Xsecrets says you REALLY didn't provide enough information. Being frugal is perfectly reasonable, but being overly frugal with details when you're asking a question is just silly. |

it is possible. the lan cable will have to be a crossover cable, and the wireless port on the windows machine will have to be setup for internet connection sharing. |
