Need some more information. Are you trying to connect the PC directly to the Mac to share the Internet connection? Or do you have a router? I assume you don't have a router based on what you've stated but I need to ask.

As far as the Mac goes, I'm not too familiar with them, but let me see if I can find something (leaving work now so won't be able to reply for about 30 mins ).

The Mac is connected to DSL. I want to be able to connect the PC to the internet through that DSL. The Mac has an airport card, and the PC has a wireless connection. The PC reads the Mac's network, but will not allow me to connect to any website. I've turned on Internet sharing, Windows sharing, etc. on the Mac. I'm not sure what else to do on the PC.

Hope that helps.
