alright, here's the deal.

I have an ibook (with a busted screen.....) that i have hooked up to the network here at school (i'm in a dorm). It has an airport card in it, and I have it sharing the internet over an airport network it created to another ibook I have (that works fine) with an airport card (obviously). So, I can get on the internet and check email and all that goodness. And I'm wireless, and I found a good use for my ibook with the evil screen (which makes me happy. I have a $2000 file server and base station....blah) Anyways, I play a lot of starcraft with the people in my room. We play over our intranet, and we have no problems seeing eachother's comps. But now that I've gone wireless, I'm on a different subnet (created by the broken ibook) and I can't see the other computers, unless i hook my ibook (the good one) up via it's ethernet port to the hub that everyone else is on. This involves more than I'd like, and I was wondering if there was anyway to forward a port that starcraft uses, or..Somehow make it work?

I hope I've explained the situation enough. I just want to stay with the airport, and be able to play them in Starcraft.
