Hello,

I use a Sierra Wireless USB modem for my internet access. (live in the sticks) I use the internet sharing feature so my kids can connect to the web. However, sometimes the sharing works, and sometimes it doesn't.

If I buy an Apple base station and plug the ethernet port from my mac to the ABS, can I share the web that way? I have only used the ABS in the past with DSL or Cable. If this would work and give me a more reliable wireless, then I will go get one tonight. I just have a gut feeling that it will not work this way.

Thanks for your help...
