Running ethernet via a pc
Hello all, I've just moved to a new apartment and haven't had a chance to get WiFi yet and am currently just using my 5g hotspot for everything(the Pi wont connect to it), I was wondering if I could use an ethernet cable from my PC (which is connected to the hotspot) to the PI.
Just making a sanity check before I go buy loads of ethernet cable.
Any advise would be appreciated.

Yeah that should work. Most PCs today don't require a cross over cable
I don't run it myself, but some people have had no issues, others did. Try it with a short cable before going out on the town on the cables.
Cool, will give it a go, thanks for the help.
