Network help with server

[alp2824]

I was needing help setting up my home network. I need to connect a computer to a server using ethernet and the server connected to the internet using ethernet and not going through a switch. I am running window 10 on the computer and server 19 on the server. Is this possible and still have both connected to the internet. Basically, computer -> server -> internet without a switch.

Really buy a switch, there cheap, and its simplet.

 

But you can make a network bridge in windows 10 if you need to.

If you can buy a network switch how much will you be able to spend on it?

Making a bridge would I need a crossover cable or a patch cable?

This is for temporary set up only until I get a new switch in.

Just use a patch cable, everything now has Auto mdix so you don't need cross over cables anymore.

most computers/switches are smart enough to detect what lines are what. no need to sweat about crossover or patch.
