Please don't play with the VM cable. As already mentioned a good length of ethernet cable is a far better way to go for the least money. I think you can get 30m length very cheap but you do get what you pay for.

If you do have a little money add on a cheap router as this would give you a hardware firewall and thus extra protection from some nasty people out there. Something like the DLink DIR615 is around £20. You don't have to use the wireless but it's there if you do want it.
