What kind of software did you use on it to share the internet connection? How about using a stand alone hardware router to share the connection? You can probably get one for jut as cheap if not cheaper than a USB or Firewire ethernet adapter for the imac. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
