Grrr... People, listen to me. I don't always HAVE an ethernet port. Look at your ethernet port. Pretend it isn't there. Sometimes that is what we have. Wi-fi only.

If I read you right, you want to get on a WiFi with your Mac's AirPort and then have it become a WiFi for other systems? Why not just use the existing WiFi? If you really need to, buy a USB or ExpressCard (if you have Mac with EC34 slot) and broadcast from it as an Ad-Hoc... -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG All your spirit rack abuses, come to haunt you back by day.

They go by MAC address. I would rather have a dedicated piece of hardware rather than keep a laptop on at all times. Since $15 per user per day seems to be the de facto price int he US I'll give an example as to why I want to do this. Ten of us for a week. $15 * 7d * 10p = $1,050 or $15 * 7 = $105.
