It might work.  Don't use two crossover cables though.  If you think about
it, two would cancel each other out.  Use one crossover and a regular cable
joined together.

Subject: [PCBUILD] crossover cables


I have my two computers networked together and finaly got Internet
Connection Sharing to work.  I am now ready to move the second computer to
another part of the house.  I have a 25 foot crossover cable but need it to
be at least 35 feet.  My local computer store tells me that I can buy a
coupler and add another crossover cable to it.  Will this work?  Has anyone
had experience with connecting two of these cables together?  If I do this,
will I have any networking problems or will I lose speed with my internet
connection?

Thank you
