Yup.. would work.. only thing wrong with that setup is that your cat 5 isn't
the straight-through kind that you'd connect your pc to a router.. you need
the twisted type.. (I think thats right.. might be the wrong way around..
can never remember)

either way.. it's a different type of cable...

other than that.. should work fine :)

Cheers
