With Mac OS X, a computer can share its Internet connection with other computers on the local network. Why would you want to set up this arrangement? Imagine, for example, that one computer in your home is connected to the Internet through a high-speed modem. You purchase a second computer but don’t want to have to get a second high-speed modem for this new computer. With Mac OS X, you don’t have to. You can simply use the first computer as the second computer’s link to the Internet.
In most cases, you’ll want the computer sharing the Internet connection with another computer to be connected to the Internet through an Ethernet network or high-speed cable or DSL modem (although it will work with a dialup connection). The main computer then creates a wireless network that the other computers use to access it, and then access the Internet.
