Ok, here's the overly complicated setup:
I live in a hotel. I have access to a wifi connection that requires me to login each day through a portal. This is easy on my mac, I just connect to the network, open up firefox, get automatically redirected, put in my details and bam! I'm connected.
I'm trying to connect a games console to the internet and obviously can't do it the same way. I figured that the best way to get my console connected would be to share internet from my Mac.
I have a Belkin Wireless G USB dongle connected to my Mac (MBP, late 2008) as well as the obvious Airport that's built in. Is there any way that I can create a wireless network from my USB dongle so as to sort of..."bridge" the internet between my Airport card and the USB dongle...thus giving me a hotspot to connect to on my games console (a Wii, if that makes any difference).
Please tell me if none of this makes sense and I'll try to re-write it. The annoying thing is that I'm not 100% sure what I'm talking about myself.
Help? Please??
