Hi,

I have a PowerMac G4 at home and an iMac at work. I have a DSL Modem at home connected to my PowerMac G4. At work my dad used the iMac just for browsing the net. Since I recently just got a broadband conection (3Mbps) I would like to have my iMac dialup to my PowerMac G4 and be able to share the internet connection. I know this is possible but I do not know how to implement it.

I have tried researching in these forums and found some interesting tidbits but not enough to answer my question. I will keep on researching and post if I find something useful. Thanks again.

You're looking for "Internet Connection Sharing." Use that term and see what sorts of tidbits you come up with. My personal preference is to buy a $40-$80 gateway router, which simplifies the sharing aspect and gives you some extra flexibility, while not using resources on either computer.
