okay so I think this is the right place to ask this question and if it's already been asked can someone direct me there.

 

I am running Ethernet cable to my PC across my house and would like to know if it is possible to run my ps4 from the second Ethernet port on the PC or if i need to run a second cable from the router. 

the motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 and using windows 10 if that makes any difference

What you're talking about it called network bridging http://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-and-manage-network-bridge-connection-windows-10

You can also use any unmanaged switch. One cable to your router, one cable to your PC, one cable to your PS4.

that would be another posibility i would look at if the bridging of the ports became tedious. but if i were to do that I would consider just running a second ethernet cable through the ceiling when I do the first one to the PC as there are still enough ports on the original router. thankyou for the sugestion though
