Q: PowerMac G5 act as a switch?

I have a room at home where I have my PowerMac G5 running Leopard OS, and I'm going to be installing another computer in the room for another purpose. Instead of buying a switch to split up the ethernet cord that had been run into this room, since the G5 has dual ports on the back, would I be able to run a cord into the first port to provide the G5 with connectivity, then another cord from the G5 to the other computer for internet access? Or does it not work like that? Thanks

MacBook Pro, PowerMac G5 7,3, Other OS
