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
