Post How to share internet connection between Mac and PC ?

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.

Thumbs up Yes, it worked !

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

Easy. Visit the site OpenDNS and create a free account. After you make a free account follow the steps in this Instructional video 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.
