Can a computer that picks up wifi create ethernet ?

Question

my hp is on wifi that my other computer produces. I saw the back of the hp had an ethernet port and i was wondering if i plugged a ethernet cable into the port if it would actually put ethernet into the cable so that i could plug it into my xbox 360

Answer 1

I agree with user.dll 100% but if it doesn't work you need a special type of ethernet cable called a crossover cable as someone else mentioned before.

Answer 2

yes but it would have to be a crossover cable not a normal network cable
