    Network

    Hey,

    Bit of a long shot this one.... I couldn't get my head round how this could be achieved!

    I have a router sharing an Internet connection between 3 computers. One computer running Windows XP is connecting via a wireless link. Beside the XP machine is a Debian machine. Between the Windows machine and the Debian machine there is a Cross-Over ethernet link. Is it possible for the Debian machine to connect to the network via the Windows machine along the cross over cable?

    p.s. Yes i know i could just setup the Debian to have a wireless link with a dongle.

    Regards
