I've been reading old threads on the net hoping to find something I might have missed last time I tried that and stumbled upon this: Seems to work so far!

Hey! Just wanted to say I love the show! I have been listening to it ever since THINKING about switching to a Mac and your show really made the difference and had me buy my first Mac! My first mp3 player was an iPod Shuffle (the first generation, I miss that stick form factor!) and I discovered Podcasts playing around in iTunes back in 2005. The Maccast was one of the top podcast in the Mac category so I subscribed to it and have been listening ever since. You managed to keep your content interesting and free for so many years it's unbelievable! I love the format of the show: a bit of news, some tips and tricks, some rants... It's like having a conversation with fellow Mac geeks! Anyway, thanks for all the work you put into this show! It's about time I get on this forum!

My Mac Mini (G4, running Leopard) serves as a wireless hotspot for the rest of the house. It is connecting to my cable modem with an ethernet cable. I just checked the "Internet sharing" option in the System Preference pane. EVERYTHING connects with no problem whatsoever (my Macbook Pro, Wii, iPod Touch, iPhone, 2 PC laptops, whatever my friends will bring home...), they just select the wireless network and they are on the internet. My XBOX as a wireless adapter on it. It just won't connect to the wireless network... When I try searching for a solution I always end up with ways to use a mac as a wireless adapter, which is not what I am trying to do. Any ideas?
