onboard lan question

ok i got the ASUS A7N8X-E and it has to ports for my eithernet cable to plug in, i plugged it in the bottum one and disabled the other one, but i was wonder if i connected my old comp to the top one and enabled it, would that mean my old comp would get internet access as well? cause my hub is full and im running both comps on same monitor, but it would be nice for both comps to be hooked up to the internet, would that work?

 

Sure, if you have the ability to setup Internet Connection Sharing with your OS. You also need a crossover cable.

 

ya both comps have XP corp on them but what is a cross over cable? and can i pick on up at like best buy?

 

Sure. Unless you want to make one yourself.

 

i think ill just go buy one
