Hello All,
Well Im a new mac user, have just bought a lovely new Macbook so am very new to the OS (which I love!!!). Have searched everywhere for an answer to this question without finding a solution that works.
My question is this.
I have an ethernet connection in my apartment for internet access. I can plug this into my mac or my friends XP laptop and access internet without problems.
Though I would like to share my internet connection by connecting one of the computers with the ethernet cable and then sharing the internet connection using wireless.
I have achieved this by connecting the ethernet to the XP machine and connection to this wirelessly with my Macbook, though the connection dropped every 5 mins or so which was just unworkable.
Please if anyone could be of help, a router isn't an option as I am travelling and only here for a few weeks.
Hope you can be of help.
