I have two computers, a Pentium 1, running Debian, w/ no internet connection, and an iBook (OS 10.2.8) with a wireless card. We share wireless with the neighbors, and I'd like to be able to share the wireless internet connection with the Debian compute through an ethernet cabler. I just installed debian a week ago, from the stable CDs, so nearly everything is still in the default instalation state (except that I configured X).
There are no restrictions on who can connect to the wireless. How would I share?
As others have said it is quite simple:
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet:
In the "Share your connection from" choose "Airport"
In the "To computers using:" area select the "Built-in Ethernet" checkbox
deselect the "Airport" checkbox.
Click the start button.
OS X will take care of the DHCP server and NAT for you. If only it was this easy with every operating system. :)
