I have a PII and an iMac, which is connected to the Internet via an airport card. Is possible for me to connect my PC to my iMac with Ethernet and then have my PC use my iMac’s airport connection to connect to the Internet?

Thanks

It should be, depends on what type of Wondos you're using. But if you are running Jag on the iMac, then go to System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Connection, and then as long as you confgure the PC right, it should work!

I doubt the PC will be as fast on the internet as it would be if it was hooked up to you cable modem directly though.

since cable is about 2Mbps max and Airport is about 12Mbps max, I don't think that will be a problem
