Have a look on apples discussions board
<http://discussions.info.apple.com/> and look in "other networking
connectivity". The steps vary slightly depending on what PC OS and Mac
OS you are running. I have done it the other way around using 10.2's
built in internet sharing and a pc running Windoze XP. Instructions for
this follow:
Sharing an internet connection on a mac with a PC
1) Enable internet sharing in Mac OS 10.2:
GO to system preferences>sharing>internet
enable internet sharing
1. Make sure that Internet sharing & the personal firewall are both
turned on.
Ummm... Turning the Firewall on is only going to make filesharing
*less* likely to work.
2. Select the "Firewall" tab in the "Sharing" control panel
3. Click "New"; a dialog box will open up on the screen
4. For "Port Name", select "Other"
5. Enter the port number(s) for the service the machine behind the
firewall (the Win 98 box in my case) needs to access. For web access,
this would be 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS)
Actually, the Mac is the machine behind the firewall. The PC is on
the 'hot' side.
6. Enter a description (e.g., HTTP(S) )
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for the remaining services. Potential ones to
include for general Internet access are: NNTP (56, 119), POP (110,
995), and SMTP (25,465)
Actually, you really don't need to do any of that if you don't turn
the firewall on. Just as long as you've turned "Windows File Sharing"
on. Of course if your LAN is connected to the internet and doesn't
have a firewall built into the router you may want to turn the
firewall on at the router to protect all the machines on the network
from one place.
To answer the original question, ideally you'd set your PC up to be a
DHCP server, and then set your Mac up to get its network setting via
DHCP, and then that should be it!
You might need to tell your Mac to use your ISP's DNS and proxy cache
as well, depending on which ISP you're using.
Have fun,
Shay
For a Windows XP box:
Go to network control panel and set up network connection using the
network
setup wizard. Select "connecting to internet via another computer on
the network"
Select network connection. Click on "properties". connect to the
internet on the mac. When connected, go to the network control panel in
OS X and cut and paste the dns settings. paste these dns settings into
PC (under "properties" of the selected network connection).
You're done! Note some thigns (such as MSN messenger etc will not work
on the PC unless extra settings are input.
Hope this helps!
