Got THe Crossover, got another question

[ChappyChaps11]

Ok. I did what Wizard sugested and picked up and ethernet crossover wire and now I can view all 5 computers. My main box has 2 ethernet ports. 1 for internet in and one with the crossover to my minibox I can share files.

I needed to bridge the connections to make it show up and all but with the connections bridged I cannot share internet. Is it even possible to share internet over the crossover cable?
