Hello everyone,
I have an iBook G3 that I'd like to be able to connect to the internet in the event that my MacBook Pro screws up. It's got an Airport wireless card, but it's too dated to work with my new router, so the only option to connect to the internet is Ethernet. I used to just plug the ethernet cable into the router, but since the router is now located in the kitchen rather than my room for increased coverage of the whole house I can't really do that anymore. So what I wad wondering is if I could plug the ethernet cable into a modern iMac and share it's internet connection. The iMac is connected to the net via WiFi, and is located in close proximity to the couch. Since you can do other transfers via ethernet would it be possible to connect to the internet via the iMac using an ethernet cable?
