hiya hopefully this is in the right place sorry if its not
what i have is a macbook running snow leopard
all updates etc are latest out
i connect to the internet via the airport wirelessly using a wifi connection that i have to enter a password for
it costs me quite alot of money each year but its the only internet i can get apart from usb mobile rubbish things
my wife has a windows notebook (i know she has to use it for work)
she has windows 7 all the latest updates etc are ok
what i want to do is connect her lapy to mine so she can use my internet connection as i only have the 1 wireless coming in
(we live on a boat so can't have wired)
what i have done is made up a crossover cable as told
but i can't seem to connect properly with it
the most i have got is files etc but it said no internet connection is available
i'm baffled as to what to do
i have been in sys pref and enabled internet sharing and file sharing and
i have done share my airport to my ethernet
any ideas what i should be doing please or what settings i need to use
many thanks steve
