Solution 1

No. You can't do that. Ethernet cable is not designed for that.

Solution 2

If you wanted to access the PC other than remote desktop.Then you can you VNC viewer to do the work. We can use other technologies like TeamViewer. You can even use Chrome Remote Desktop to access that machine.

  There's no need to downvote this question; it's concise (enough) and valid. The answer just happens to be no.

VGA over Ethernet does exist, though, as is HDMI over Ethernet. The cable doesn't care.

But according to his question, he is more likely to have pure ethernet connection, isn't it? And he want to use the keyboard and mouse from the laptop, but not using the screen.
