OK, I know this might be weird for some of you, but we can work through this... I'm looking for an answer to a question **GASP!**

A neighbor has a cable Internet connection. They have stated that they are more than happy to share that broadband connection with me. The current setup is as follows:

- Cable modem connected to WinXP
- ICS is set to share that connection with ad-hoc wireless network
- Cable modem must be connected to the computer, as they work for the cable company in question

How do I connect my PB G4 running Mac OS X v10.4.8 to the ad-hoc Wireless connection and get an IP and get Internet access and actually move closer to living in the 21st century?

(NO! A router is not an option! Do not post "Get a router". If you do, you shall incur the curse of pittosporum folliculitis of the middle third of your body...)

Anyone who has any actual information about connecting a Mac OS X v10.4.8 Macintosh to a Windows shared ad-hoc wireless connection will garner the favor of the beer angels and be blessed with pale women and dark beer... or vice versa... whatever... I'm not judging... It's cool... I mean I like a little ****EDITED FOR CONTENT**** every once in a while...
