Apple TV 2G no Internet?

[TheKomputerGeek]

I'm thinking of buying a 2G Apple TV. However, the Internet connection at my house is really slow. I have a REALLY old Windows PC I used (before I got my mac) in the garage. If I booted it up, put my iTunes Library on it, and set it up behind my TV, could I just plug a cable in from the Apple TV Ethernet port to the computer to "stream?"

Any help is appreciated

Yes you can do this, but you still have to activate Home Sharing on the Apple TV.

Why not just hook the pc up to the TV?

Thanks.

And I would, but the TV computer is really old and isn't compatible with any of the ports on the TV. Also, its a windows computer and I really like the Lowtide Interface.
