Hello I like to know if internett connection sharing is
possible with Mac X as in windows.
I need to connect a PC to the net with the Mac as
gateway.
Any ideas how I get round this?
Many thanks

OS X 10.2 has Internet Sharing built in.

I am having the same issue. Even though internet
sharing is built. What do I have to on the PC to
allow it to connect to the internet.
I have a cable modem on my IMac and want to get
my girlfriend's computer to connect to the internet
via the Mac (partially because it has a firewall and
partially because the service provider wants to
charge us for a second cable modem).
Do I just connect the ethernet ports on the two
computers? Or do I have to configure something
on her PC. She is running windows XP (I am not
sure the exact system version).
