In our house we use a 10mbps phone line network (not by choice, mind you). Anyways, the server computer hooked up to DSL is downstairs and three computers are upstairs. The server computer, our office computer, and my computer are on the phone line network. The office one and mine are both clients to the downstairs one. I recently built a new system, and had a crossover cable sitting around, as well as an extra NIC. I built the computer, hooked up the crossover cable to my computer (both are in the same room, no need for another phone adapter card) and I can share files fine, but when I try to share the net connection coming in from the server to my comp, I get an IP conflict. Is there any way I can share the Internet Connection from my client PC to the new PC in my room w/o putting the new PC on the phone network? In other words, can I share a network connection coming from a server with my computer acting as a sort of server for the one it's directly linked to using CAT5 cable? I know this seems confusing...

Here's a diagram...lets say 1 is the server, 2 is the office, 3 is me and 4 is the new computer if that helps. How can I get a connection shared to me from the server to another computer not on the same phone network? Hope this made some sense.
TIA!
