hello all,
I currently am using an Imac with 10.4. I would like to be able to have a laptop connect wirelessly to my Imac and use the internet that the Imac receives via ethernet. Is there any way to bridge the two and if so how? thank you.
Apart from being delivered over ethernet, what type of Internet connection is it ?
If you have a single public IP address, then bridging is not suitable as you would need two public addresses and Internet Sharing would be your simplest method.
If you have a router with a single ethernet port, then purchasing a wireless access point (or router, but not using the "WAN" port) with multiple LAN ports would be a better way of allowing multiple computers to access your existing router.
You could also use the same hardware if you have multiple public IP addresses, however I would always suggest that at least a filtering bridge firewall is used, and unless you have IPv6 connectivity, NAT does make some things easier, although it can be a pain for some protocols...
