I'm sharing a connection right now between my PC (which is
connected via modem) and my iBook connected to the PC via
Ethernet. Works great. I use a crossover cable, but the iBook
(new one, don't know about the old ones) really doesn't even need
it. It senses direct connections and crosses the necessary lines
over automatically. I haven't experienced any serious bandwidth
nabbing from the PC, but I'm not doing anything too serious either.
I'm presently downloading some (ahem) files on the iBook via a
gnutella client and doing web surfing on the PC.
I'd also mention that this setup works amazingly great with Virtual
PC 3.0 on the iBook running Win98 (which I honestly only loaded
because Office for Mac seems to be missing Microsoft Access...)
