Hello friends

The simple method is airport For the first method, use the Gateway Setup Assistant (/Applications/Server) to share your internet connection to your AirPort Card. This only takes a few seconds and clicks. After that has been configured, create a computer-to-computer network with WEP if need be. The name of your computer-to-computer network will be the SSID that people will see in their wireless selection menus.
This works fine, except that when another OS X machine connects to your computer-to-computer network, they will have no wireless strength in their menubar, just a computer icon. Also, using this method is slow to provide a DHCP address, as a user's connecting computer will have a 10 to 15 second delay before getting its IP Information.

Thanks to all..............
