It's a long story of why I want to do this but before I drag out my desktop I wanted some opinions as to if this will work.

I have my G4 ibook connected wirelessly with a lynksys router. Now if i connect the ibook and the PC to a hub will the PC be able to connect to the Internet?

Thanks.

Yes. Uplink the hub to the router.

that the thing. i want to have the desktop connect to the router wirelessly. The router is in another room and i want to go through the laptop basicly. but i have no idea if this will actually work or not. my intuition says no but im still curious.

Doable? Yes, with Panther.

Advisable? Not really.

Just get a wireless card for the PC!
