Ok so I want to hook up my Quadra 610 to the internet just for fun and to do some Light Browsing (Yes I know it wont be fast). It currently has an AAUI-15 ethernet port at the rear of the computer. Here is the situation. I have a wireless wpa internet connection throughout my home. I connect my powermac g4 to it using its airport card and os x 10.4.11. From there I want to share its internet through ethernet over to my Quadra. That leaves me with two questions.

1.) I know I will need an adapter that can turn the AAUI-15 port into a modern ethernet port. What is the name for one of these and would this one from eBay work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asante-FriendlyNET-AAUI-Mac-to-Ethernet-10Base2-Coaxial-BNC-RJ-45-Fiendly-NET-/280890415886?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41665f9b0e#ht_519wt_918

2.) Would I then need a crossover cable for this connection or would a regular ethernet cable work?

3. Is this possible? (This one probably should have been first...)

Thanks,

Mithrandir
