Currently at a hotel with a wired broadband connection to my Macbook. Is there any way to make my Macbook into an AP to provide my iPod Touch with a WiFi connection?
Got a tip for us?

Yes.. Thats exactly what I was looking to do and the instructions were spot on. I got my MacBook connected to the free eathernet broadband and I'm in bed typing this response on my iPod touch accross the room on the other side of my suite... SWEET!
I believe so. Its a feature of the OS, not the device. I had my brother-in-law set it up on his MacBook pro running Leopard....worked just the same.
when i go to system preferences<sharing i see a bunch of checkboxes to the left and one of them is internet sharing. is that the one i want?wen i check that box it asks me where i want to share my connection from and to computers using ethernet, airport, or fireware? so which ones do i check to use here?
Another question along that line. I use a sprint wireless USB adaptor at my house or while traveling. Can that kind of wireless signal be shared with my ipod? Novatel CDMA connection. I don't see any obvious way to do so. BTW, I have 20 IMac.
