We have some friends visiting that would like to join our wireless network. We cannot get them logged on because we would need to have our provider add the computer ID# to our account. They are closed today and cannot do it.

Is there a way we can connect them to the internet via our macbook computer?

Thanks
 
Sure, run an ethernet cable from your MacBook's ethernet port to the ethernet port on their computer, then turn on "Internet Sharing" on your MacBook in the "Sharing" pane of the System Preferences. Under "Share your connection from:", choose "AirPort." Under "To computers using:", select "Ethernet."

Then, I believe the other computers (the ones you want to get on the internet) should be set up for DHCP, and all should be well.

Post back if not.
