Heres what i want to do:
- Connect via wifi on macbook to my internet
- share the wifi connection from my macbook to the macbook LAN port
- run a cable (not sure if I need a cross over or straight from macbook to desktop LAN port
- use internet on desktop freely as if it was connected to a normal LAN cable
