Internet from a pc?

[be_x]

My main rig is connected to an ethernet cable that has been snaked thru my house from my router on the other side. The wifi here is bad, whence why i have the ethernet. I have another pc that i want to set up in here and run on fast internet at the same time as my main rig. Is there any way that I can "daisychain" a cable from my main pc or send out a wifi signal from it that is closer to my other pc?

Thanks!

Probably the easiest solution would be to buy a Network Switch and install that between your router and the PCs you want to connect to internet.

Could I connect that from the wall plug to a switch in my room?

I don't see why not... I have a 25 foot Cat 5e running from my wireless router in the living room to a switch in a separate room that then connects to my main PC and NAS.  About the only difficulty that I had was I had to setup a unique IP address for the switch so it wasn't trying to run the same IP as my wireless router.

Yeah, you'll need 3 ethernet cables. One for each pc and one to connect the switch to the plug in the wall.
