OK, my original idea was good, but now I'm having to bork this for the mo to get it to work.
I bought some cable and a crimping tool, but the tool is pretty lame. Haven't got another one yet, as I have just got a very long cable which'll reach from downstairs to upstair. Problem is, it's a cross-over cable. I don't wanna re-crimp one end, as the crimp tool is crap, so I'm trying to share my net connection as it is.
The first hurdle I have come accross is due to my Netgear DG834 ADSL Router. It's working fine and plugged into one of my ethernet ports on my mobo (have two). I plugged the cross-over cable into my other port and tried to share the connection, but it gave me an error saying that the IP needed to share was already being used.
Anyone know how this can easily be done for the moment, until I get a new tool? Cheers.
Lemme know if you need any questions answered.
