That is not possible, one interface at the time. It has to connect to
the internet trough your PC (PC settings for this depends on OS ).
With the correct setup it can communicate trough the PC if the PC have
internet connection. The PC can be conected to internet via wifi (if the
wifi is good enough for streaming )
Other gotchas, it's not likely that the PC can act as DCHP and DNS for
the SB .
So your setup will be with static IP both on the SB and the network
card, including correct DNS settings and such, same subnet,
