[QUOTE="burrough, post: 1163998, member: 180188"] Hi everyone, I've recently purchased Macbook Pro, and encounter a problem of setting up its Internet connection in my college room. I already have a PC set up with Internet, and unfortunately the college does NOT allow us to connect additional computer to its network and does NOT allow us to set up our own wireless hotspot using existing connection. So, I was told that you can use an ethernet cable to connect the Macbook Pro to a PC (which has the Internet connection), and hence share the PC's Internet connection. If so, can someone please explain step-by-step how I should configure the PC (Windows XP) and the Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 10.6) respectively. Many thanks! [/QUOTE]
