802.11and Airport and PCs Oh My!
:End of witty subject:
I need to know if and how and well, how much somthing like this would be. Let me telll you about the situation I'm in. I have a new PB. Its amadzing. I have a PC that has a built in DSL Modem. I need broadband on PB badly! And if I;m goning to spend some cash might as while go 802.11. So here is where you guys come in. Is there a way I can use my PC as a 'sever' to an 802.11 staion hooked up (Airport is a lil to expensive) and use an Airport card in my PB. What would I need? I don't have an ethernet card in the PC (I didn't buy it) Can I just install a card and Hook it up to a base staion and run wirelessly. Do I need a Hub? Special software for my PC? Is it even possible? External DSL modem? I'm not sure the best way to approach this. Any input would be great appreciated. Thanks for getting my network (or lack of it) unwired.

Otherwise, there are 3rd party programs that exist to help with internet sharing. I don't have any hands on experience with any of them though.
Thanks again
