Ok, I have a laptop with a working WiFi connection, it also has a firewire port. I want to know if I can connect this laptop to a mac (without an internet connection, but with a firewire port) through firewire and use Internet Connection Sharing on the windows laptop to allow the mac to get on the internet. Is this possible? If so, how?

You probally can, just get a firewire cross-over cable, and set up ICS thought the network setup. Athough it will probally be cheaper and easier to buy a USB or PCMCIA WiFi adapter.

I don't know of any USB Wifi adapter's that are compatible with a mac though.

A Mac should have AirPort built in :confused:
