    Probably a very simple question, but hoping someone can help.
    My desktop is connected to the internet using a wireless USB adapter. Can I connect another desktop to the first desktop using an Ethernet cable, so that the second desktop also connects to the Internet, feeding off the wireless connection of pc number one?
    Thanks

    Yes, but it's a daft way of doing it.

    Only a very short term measure until I can get another wireless USB key, unless there is another option?
