Wi-Fi networking: netBook and Mac

[sbedford]

I have a Psion netBook (Malay version) with a Cisco Aironet 340 card and an Apple Mac G4 with an Airport card. Although it has been stated that the Cisco card will not handle peer-to-peer networks should it be possible to communicate while the Mac is running as software base-station. I am running Mac OS X 10.2.4 so this is (isn't it?) just a matter of selecting "Share your Internet connection with Airport-equipped computers" whereas in Mac OS 9 there is separate Software Base-station software. Has anyone got this working?

I now have netBook talking to Mac. The Mac is acting as a software basestation (by sharing its ethernet link with machines attching via airport). I had to set the IP addresses on the wireless cards to a different subnet to the Mac's ethernet. Then it all works ... except the Psion can only access the Mac not the internet. The Mac is connected via ethernet to an ADSL router.

I now have this working. I have set up sharing on Mac and no longer set its IP address for Airport directly but have chosen DHCP. Likewise on Psion. I cann access Mac from Psion using the address I have alocated to its ethernet card and I can access internet from Psion too. The Mac shares out its connection - it is connected via ethernet to an ADSL router.
