Got a Mac with an AirPort card and a Nintendo Wii? Thanks to a tutorial from Steve Clifford, you can now use your Mac's AirPort card to share your internet connection with your Wii. This is good for Mac owners who happen to have the card but don't have a wireless router.

First you'll need to make sure that you're currently connected to the internet through something other than your AirPort card. Also, make sure that AirPort is on and that you have the Wii close by. This tutorial doesn't involve any tinkering with the hardware -- which could void your warranty -- just the settings.

Anyway, here we go:

Step One: Turn on Internet Sharing

1. Go to System Preferences, click on the Sharing icon, then click on the Internet tab.
2. Change the Â?Share your connection fromÂ? pop-up to Built-in Ethernet.
3. Under the Â?To computers usingÂ? section, check the AirPort box.
4. Click Airport Options, and enter an easy name such as wii in the Network Name box.
5. OPTIONAL: Use any password that fits your settings (i.e. 128 bit WEP requires 13 characters).
6. Click OK if youÂ?re on the AirPort Options screen.
7. Click Start in the Internet Sharing panel.
