How to Share Internet Access Between Multiple Computers Using a USB Modem (OSX)
In my new place I've been without a broadband Internet connection for the last several weeks. Thankfully, I've had my handy USB modem through Verizon on-hand so I've been able to use their 3G network to work and surf the web. It's a little pricey. 5Gigs of bandwidth per months rocks in somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 or so. But it works.
My girlfriend has been wanting to get online too, and I figured there had to be a way to share out my Internet connection to her Macbook as well. Well, there is.1. From the Apple Menu, select System Preferences.2. Sharing
3. Click on Internet Sharing
4. Check "Airport" -- I'd recommend setting a password here.
5. Then click the checkbox next to "Internet Sharing"That's it. The network name you create should show up in the Airport wireless connections that are available to you from your other Mac laptops in the area.
