Hi

I have a laptop with wifi and I would like to share its internet
connection with my TV and HD_DVD ethernet ports so that I can easily
update the firmware etc.

Can I do this by just connecting the two devices using CAT5. My
laptop has a ethernet socket as well as wifi?

Thanks

Is there an echo in here?

One post is sufficient. See my answer to your first post.
