If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I have one ibook with the Internet with OS 10.2.8 and a mac mini with OS 10.4 without Internet
I want to connect to Internet using the ibook but navigate in the mac mini. Is it possible to do that with an ethernt cable? I already have bluetooth on both machines, it is possible to connect via Bluetooth?

Thank you!

  You would probably be better off with getting a router. You could hardwire the mac mini and if your Ibook has an air card, can connect to the network wirelessly. you could do some research on networking here:

  Yes it is possible if you have an Airport card in the ibook and connect to the internet wirelessly. Just hook the cable to the nic cards in both computers.Open the network preferences on the mini and set for ethernet. On the ibook go to network,Airport,and check box to allow sharing via ethernet port.
