I have an account with T-Mobile's HotSpot. I have been able to share my Airport connected internet with my wife from my PowerBook to her iBook via ethernet cable. However, when I tried tonight, my computer tried to access the net from her iBook instead of my Airport signal! When connected via ethernet, my computer cannot load pages. When I pull the cable, I am able to load pages. Wierd, huh?

Any solutions?

Thanks!

make sure in the System Preferences, in the Network pane, that "Built-in Ethernet" is below "Airport" on the list. You can change it by going to "Network Port Configurations" in the Show: menu and dragging them. This is the order that the networks are accessed when looking for stuff.
