Internet Sharing with a Mac

[Daddy]

I know that the airport card in the Macs allows you to share your wireless connection with other computers, but as far as I know it only works if the computer is connected to the internet via ethernet, and it just uses the wireless card as if it were a router of sorts.


Now, say that you are in a situation where you are connected wirelessly to a router that is pretty far away.  Now say that my Wii cannot connect to that network, but my Mac can.  Would it be possible for me to wireless connect to the network AND share internet wireless at the same time? (Mac connects to router, Wii connects to Mac)

Correction: Yes, you can. Go to "Sharing" In system preferences which is next to "network" on the right there will be a bunch of options. Select Internet Sharing.

I don't know if your Wii can access that connection, unfortunately.

If I turn that on, my computer can't use the connection--I would need to be connected Via Ethernet to share that connection.

You can't have your Mac as a Wi-Fi booster i'm pretty sure of that.

You don't even know what FTP is, so anything you say about networking is null.

And this is what my menu bar shows for the airport icon.



No pages load when it shows that.

I know what ftp is, I've just never used it damn.

But you asked what is has to do with servers.

Yes, because I only know what it does, not what it's used for besides file transfers.
