Using Airport Extreme as Bridge?
Okay, I've been working on this for a while with no luck.
Is there a way to use an airport extreme base station to act as a bridge? My laptop connects to a dial-up service, and I want to broadcast that connection wirelessly to my PC in the other room which doesn't have a WiFi card. So i thought I could plug in the Airport station to the PC and have it act as a wirless card/bridge. However, whenever I set it as a remote base station and put in the IP addresses and DNS stuff, the PC sees it's there, but never seems to reach the mac.
Is there a way to do this w/o buying another network card?
The easy solution would be if I has a dial-up capable router, but i don't.

Another solution if you really don't want to buy a WiFi-card, and can't get this to work is to simply run an ethernet wire to the other computer from your Mac.
