OK, heres the deal...I want to learn about Linux, and decided to build a small system to run Linux on (Vector Linux (http://www.vectorlinux.com) as it goes). I already have a three system, wireless network, working away on Windows 2000 in ad-hoc mode. My internet connection is via a USB cable modem (an NTL Home 100).

The question is, can I run the Linux box via cross-over cable from one of the Windows 2000 boxes and still connect from any of the machines to the internet?

Hope that makes sense, if not I'll try and clarify whatever needs clarifying!
