Hi there
I recently purchased my first MAC. A G4 Desktop without an Airport card. It only has the ethernet port. I am able to connect to the internet using a hard line connection however in order to do so, I have to move my modem across the house to the room containing the g4. Moving the modem back and forth is not an option any longer.
I receive wireless internet on my XP laptop and would like to share its connection with the G4 via an ethernet cable. I have enabled Internet Connection Sharing on the PC (ICS) and configured the G4's built in ethernet to DHCP and enabled Internet sharing on the G4, however the G4 still will not connect.
Is there something I am missing? I have read and tried a number of the threads already posted without success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
