Trip Tips - Sharing Internet from iBook G4 (Mac OS X) via Airport (wifi) to iPhone 3G

這編文章從後另一個網誌搬來,以配合主題;其實,同樣設定用於MacBook Pro都是一樣的,整體設定都非常簡便。另,已經試過把互聯網無線分享至微軟視窗和諾基亞手機,非常方便!

暫時不翻譯成中文了,簡單就是"系統偏好" > "共享" > "互聯網共享",安全起見,應該開始WEP密碼;其實下面看圖識字,不說太多了。

Maybe, it has been known by many user, but this is my first time to successfully use such function in China trip today, and it is great! (I've tried it before via iBook G4 and shared to BlackBerry Curve 8320, but failed.)

Assume you are on a business trip with your iBook (or MacBook) and iPhone 3G. It is too expensive to use the data roaming of iPhone 3G & you have turned it off. After a day of meetings, you are back to hotel & plug your laptop to the hotel internet via ethernet (paid or free). Then, how about your iPhone 3G? One option is login to the hotel wifi. But, not all hotel provide wifi. And you may have to pay one more connection fee. So, with your fine Mac OS X, then, your iPhone 3G can also go online and check email, browse internet etc.
