Hi, can a Airport equipped computer be used to extend my Airport? I have a TiBook with typical lousy range, but a desktop with perfect range in the same room. Can I use the desktop to extend the range to my TiBook?
See my diagram

See my diagram
I am almost sure that one is unable to share a network port using that same network port. If you were to add a second WiFi card (say in a PCI slot) you could share the incomming Wifi on the second Wifi card.
Nice diagram BTW.
