Hey guys

I have a windows pc with no wireless card and am currently waiting to run a cable for it to my modem, in the mean time i have an iMac which sits next to it using wireless. If i put an ethernet cable from the pc into the macs ethernet can i link the pc to use the imac wireless through the ethernet cable?

If so any direction on how to do it?

Thanks for any help with this!
 
Connect the the two, then go to System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing and the rest should be evident from here, as it reuqires three or four clicks now.
