Hello,
my old inspirion 6000's wireless card is failing, and only works for approx. 20 mins before turning off.
Thats all well and good, but i would like to connect it w/o using the wireless. Sooo... I figured i would use my desktop's seccond LAN port to connect the laptop. I failed misserably, so i tried my old netgear wgr614v6, but turns out it has faulty hardware resulting in an unsteady powersuppy and ...

anyway, id like to connect my laptop to the internet through my desktop's 2nd lan port.
any help?
