Hello,
I have a lower model desktop PC that has worked quite well for me for a long time with a network card, but no wireless card or capabilities. Can I somehow use the ethernet port on my mac laptop to transfer its wireless internet signal to this PC; even if only for the purpose of playing direct IP games on my favorite PC game? Any help on the subject would be greatly apprecciated.

Configuration: Internet Explorer Indeterminable

Both computers need to be connected to the same router and have the mac set to share network

modem connected to a wireless (router) ......... Mac connected to a router connected to PC

sorta takes the fun out needing second router prob better just to connect to the original router directly by PC unless it is some where other then your room etc.

Yes, on the mac open System preferences, then sharing (under "Internet and Network") then select internet sharing.
you want so share from AirPort to Ethernet, once these options are selected enable internet sharing.
reboot the windows machine, i also fount rebooting the mac helped.
