hi
im new to Mac, how do you allow a group
of computers to share internet if only one
has internet access.
currently, all the computers are networked
and we can exchange files and
everything. we use appleTalk (i think)
anyone can give me steps or where to get
a proceedure from?

Very Frustrated! Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm using Sprint's Broadband Direct, Fixed Wireless.
I'm running an Apple AirPort 2.0 base station, with an
iMac 333 connected directly to the LAN port, two
wireless iMac 500s upstairs, and a Hybrid cable modem
connected to the WAN port. The system works very
well with my iMacs! I have a Dell laptop running
Windows NT (company computer) with Nortel's
Contivity VPN client installed. I have been trying to
get the Dell laptop to communicate with our company
server with little success. Here's what I have tried.
Using my connected iMac 333, I mapped several ports on
10.0.1.201 that are used by the Nortel client. I manually
assigned IP address 10.0.1.201 and subnet 255.255.255.0
to the laptop. I unplug the LAN ethernet cable from my
iMac 333 and plug it into the laptop. I restart the
laptop and when I start up the VPN client the laptop is
able to communicate with the base station and the
modem, however, I get a VPN switch failure at the
company server. Any ideas?
