connect to the internet though my PC? & if so how do I do it? I've already set my iBook to get the files from my pc, but don't know how to access the internet. I'm just using this as a temporary thing until my Airport express arrives. I just I don't want to use my iBook for late night web chats, as I messed up my HP laptop during a late nite chat empting a bottle of beer into it & I love the iBook more.

Oreo ... how'd you pick your nick?

Before helping you, what version of Windows do you use?

I like 'em, too, but I got a nickname on the occasion of my hostbrother's wedding.

Anyway, XP allows to share Internet connections. You can find it in the Internet pref pane, either on the index card on the right or the second on the right (I'm inferring from Win 2k, I hope nothing has changed). It's not very reliable though (big surprise here ).
