be going against your companies policy, you may want to give a wireless USB adapter a try.
I am using my neighbor's wireless network to connect my laptop. my
laptop is a brand new Powerbook G4 12inch w/ airport extreme card
(802.11g). i need to connect a pretty new Dell P4 desktop that doesnt
have a wireless card (and which i cannot add a wireless card to -- it
is my work machine, and has a lock on the case) i need to use the
desktop to do some realproducer audio streaming (which is only for the
PC platform)
The question: how do i set up my network settings so that I turn my
ethernet port into a live useable port for this second laptop.
i am a very experienced computer user, and professional web developer,
though i am a little weak in the networking dept. links would be
great, and any further instruction would be even better.
i know this can be done, as i saw a G4 tower doing this a year ago.
thanks,
michael
