Sharing the Wifi part II

Regarding our dispensing for free Wifi over EVDO today…Ian writes “one other thing you can do that’s nifty like that, I did a few years ago at macworld, my powerbook (a titanium) gets notoriously bad reception, however the guy with his iBook next to me had no problem getting on the network. so we did the sharing from airport to ethernet, plugged me in, and since actually both machines have autosensing ports, they connected right up and i was online, didn’t even need a crossover cable”.
