Can I use my built in airport card AS a wireless access point for another computer?

Sure, all you have to do is share your internet connection (System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet) and create a Computer-to-computer Airport connection between the 2 computers.

Hi there, I've just been trying to share an internet connection following what was said in the above post but it's saying I haven't selected a port over which to share the connection. What does this mean and how do I get it working?!

All the best
