Share macbook WIFI on wired LANIs it possible to share internet connection from my Macbook to my desktop (wired of course)
I got a stubborn landlord who doesn't want to let me use LAN (wired connection) because he's to cheap tp buy the cat5 cable :S
I onlu got internet connectons via wifi on my macbook.
Heres what i want to do:
- Connect via wifi on macbook to my internet
- share the wifi connection from my macbook to the macbook LAN port
- run a cable (not sure if I need a cross over or straight from macbook to desktop LAN port
- use internet on desktop freely as if it was connected to a normal LAN cable
Notes:
Mac OSX 10.5.8
Desktop PC is a Windows 7
I use Little Snitch on mac and Zone Alarm on win 7
I guess i need to do configure firewall settings on both machines

If I were you, I'd just buy a USB wifi receiver for the PC. No hassle. No wires. No need to turn on both computers just to use the PC.
