I got a imac for my niece, but it lacked an airport card. Right across the hall is a Vista PC with a wifi card and a free Ethernet port. I figure just like Windows, a few clicks and both would be on the Internet.
I checked the cord thinking that it was broken, my eeepc was able to connect to the network created by the vista machine. At least the cable works.
So how do I go about sharing the Internet with the imac, that does not include spending more money (I'm not against it, just thrifty). I already own a router, but it is across the house (I already checked the cable won't reach). I have looked into getting an airport card, but why would I buy something that now cost more than the computer.
The imac is older model, G3/500 (Summer 2001)
