I have a Intel iMAC 2.4GHz. I know it has build in Airport Extreme. I also have a Airport Express 802.11n. I am having some difficulty making it do what I want. I am wondering if it is even possible.

This is my setup:

DSL modem -> iMAC in office connected via ethernet.

Airport Express -> Airtunes, USB printer, Dish Network DVR connected to Ethernet in living room.

My question is can I share my DSL connection from my iMAC to the Airport Express then to my DVR (wired) and even my Wii (wireless)?

Thanks in advance for any input. :apple:

Just go to system preferences under the sharing tab and click on internet sharing


Should work like a charm
 
I thought it would be easy, but it is whoopin me. Does anyone have any step by step directions?
