[muglo] Re: Airport solution

Hi Doug

If you connect your Mac with the Airport card by wire to your router  
you can then share the internet using the airport card.  It is fairly  
easy to do, I did it at the Westmount Library during one of our  
meetings when we only had a wired connection in the meeting room and  
other times.   Go to System Preferences, click on Sharing, enable  
Internet Sharing and make sure that the Airport has a check next to it  
for sharing.  It should take only a couple of minutes to set up, the  
range should be over 200 ' unless your computer is in a steel cage or  
something, the speed will depend on what model of airport card you  
have installed but even if you have the slowest card (802.11 B)  
installed it will be faster than your internet connection.

Good luck
