Yep no problem

EXCEPT if you're not going to use a Hub/Router you need to use a cross over
cable NOT a standard patch cable.

If you have a problem getting one, email me off-list
[EMAIL REMOVED] I carry them in stock and can manufacture custom
lengths if you need it longer than the normal couple of meters or so. (I'm
out of the office in about 1/2hr until Monday afternoon - but can get one
dispatched first thing Tuesday)
