Dante, that should work fine. I asked a very similar question recently on the networking forum here and that's what I was told to get.
You might want to check out the networking forum here as there is a lot of good info. The link is to the left of the screen here under forums.
Good luck.

cat "5" called "straight through cable" is used with a router. You can also use a cat "5" "cross over cable" this way you only need two network cards. good luck Snap
