Yep. It's doable so long as the host computer is not getting its
internet over wireless already.

A friend has a G4 ibook and a new iMac. Her grandkids use the

You don't need a router to share an internet connection between two
Macs. Just turn Airport on for both Macs, and enable internet
sharing over Airport on the Mac that's connected to the cable modem.

Bob, she doesn't have an Airport. She doesn't have any type of router
at the present time. But are you saying that she can share internet
connection WITHOUT having an Airport? In other words, her iMac,
connected to the cable modem, can give the iBook internet without the
iBook having any physical connection????
