Question : Problem: Sharing a MacBook's wireless internet connection with a non-wireless G5?

I have a 1.6Ghz PowerMac G5 and it doesn't have a wireless adapter.  I'd like to connect it to my wireless network by somehow by connecting it to my MacBook via ethernet and sharing the MacBook's wireless connection -- saving me the hassle and expense of buying a wireless adapter.  Any idea if this is possible -- and if so, how to do it?

Thanks!

You should be able to go on your MacBook and go into:

System Preferences,
Sharing
Click Internet Tab
On Share Your Connection from: choose Airport
check the box next to Built-in Ethernet
Click Start

Now connect your G5 to your MacBook using a crossover cable (or using a network switch) and make sure your G5 is set up to use DHCP.  That should be it.
