Right, I have a wireless network at home, and a server without a wireless adaptor, I also have upteen amounts of ethernet cables lying around. There is a laptop in the same room as the server, with a wireless connection, would there be a way to connect the server to the internet using the laptop?

You could just connect the server to the wireless router directly with your cable. Otherwise, you're going to need to be a lot more specific about the type of server, laptop, and network. | |||

You can connect the server to the laptop with a crossover cable. Depending on what operating system the machines are running, there are different methods you can use to connect to the internet through the laptop. On Windows, there is Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) for example. | |||

I have a crossover cable somewhere, not too sure on how to use it (before you think I'm an idiot, I'm pretty sure I'd have to plug it in ;) ) the laptop is running Windows 7 Enterprise, and my server is currently running Debian 5.04. | |||
