The main goal is to have 2 good computers and network them with an ethernet crossover cable. My networks sucks, won't work, I could do this, but then I would lose my Ethernet Internet connection right? I would have to have a second Ethernet card in the desktop (SFF card), and use the laptop wireless is that right?

Modern ethernet ports no longer need crossover cables. networkworld.com Now, the need for crossover cables has been eliminated with more modern equipment. Gigabit Ethernet was created with a widely used option called Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover). This technology detects whether you need a crossover cable or a straight-through cable, and it automatically configures the network interface card accordingly. Thanks to this technology, if you are using Gigabit Ethernet, chances are you will be able to connect your PCs or hubs with regular, straight-through cables, and the NICs on either end will detect the cable and adjust accordingly.
