Internet Connection Sharing that comes with Windows does NAT (Network Address Translation). I haven't used any kind of Windows for many years now, so I can't tell you the specifics.

Any linux host can act as a NAT/router, and may be - but I'm not sure - some windows stuff can do so. It's very easy to configure such stuff under linux. It takes about 1 minute and 3 command lines. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Also to be considered: In the USA and probably the rest of the world, wireless routers are available as cheaply as about $20. The routers can be used as simple access points to connect a wired network device to a wifi device such as the 770. -- Willie, ONWARD!

I'm sure all three are doable, but I don't know how.

I don't have a Mac, but I've seen someone enable wired Internet sharing
over WiFi with a couple of clicks. IIRC the Mac pretended to be an
access point.
