Does anyone know of a Mac peripheral that allows me to use my mini mac for Internet Connection sharing with my cable modem? The cable modem has an Ethernet and USB connection. However, the USB connection only works with PC's, not Macs. I would like a USB2 plug in adapter that would allow me to use the Ethernet connection of my cable modem to plug into the adapter, which would then convert it to a USB2 connection which could plug into my mini mac, and I could use the mini mac's Ethernet connection to plug into my LAN, and have the other computers use the mini mac as a firewall. Any help is really appreciated. Please note, I need a finished device, not a chipset thing.
