Hi.
I have a Macbook Pro 13" which runs Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.8). Internet works well using WIFI technology. However, I want to share this internet connection via LAN with my DELL running Windows Vista Home Edition.
Is that possible ? Amy help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

1. Router.

2.(Less optimal) Open System Preferences (in your Dock)->Sharing, Internet Sharing and follow the steps.

As I said, my PC can't reach the router but what you told me about the System preferences worked. Thanks!

i know this isnt possible though the settings
but is there a back door to this?

im only asking as my brother who is 10 went on a site.
so we want the adult sites blocked.

but we dont want a new account

Easy. Visit the site OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/start/) and create a free account. After you make a free account follow the steps in this Instructional video (http://www.opendns.com/support/videos) to use the service to block anything you want with DNS and there is not software on your Mac for him to get around the restriction.
