Yes you can, either buy a cross over cable, or make one!
The cheapest way and, not always the most appealing method
Clip the following wires in half.
Solid green
Solid orange
White with green stripe
White with orange stripe
Now cross these wires as follows:
Solid green on end one crosses with solid orange on end two.
Solid orange on end one crosses with solid green on end two.
White with green stripe on end one crosses with white with orange stripe on end two
White with orange stripe on end one crosses with white with green stripe on end two.
You can use this method to splice the wires instead of getting a crimper, but it is advised to solder the wires together, and cover well with electrical tape, or shrink-wrap.
This is a bit ghetto, but informative I suppose.
Run the Internet connection sharing wizard in windows.
Do keep in mind that unless you use the USB cable supplied with your modem "I do not recommend" you will need two Ethernet cards in the PC connected to the modem.
