How many physical network connection do you have on a laptop. Many desktops have 2 ethernet ports and you can sorta use those to connect 2 devices.

All you to connect multiple network connections is set the bridge option in the interface but it likely will not do what you think it does especially if you try to bridge a wireless connection.

It generally is not worth the hassle to even attempt when you just buy a small switch for less than $10.
