Unfortunatelly not, i was just thinking that it's possible inside OS, using software emulating device, or something like that. Thanks for your help. And have nice rest of the day. :)

I hate to resurrect an old horse but it seems I need to do this (my cell phone has internet sharing only through windows and not the Mac.)

I can select this phones driver and enable sharing. However I can't see it on the Mac side. When I try creating an adhoc AirPort network the icon remains gray with a gray computer inside (not black like the document has.) I am using Snow Leopard.

I downloaded the Belkin software and that never shows up as device in the Networks control panel (for that matter neither does the VMWare Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter that is mentioned as well.)

Since these instructions are pretty old perhaps something has changed with Snow Leopard? I assume no additional hardware is involved here (like an actual Belkin adapter)?

Thanks.

Why would you download the Belkin Software and try using it if you don't have the Belkin Hardware to go with it? :) Of course it's not going to show up if the hardware isn't there and it was just used as an example of one way to do this and you need to be substituting the ICS capable Device that your using not what I used as proof of concept.

Your document didn't indicate the actual hardware was necessary. I thought it was simply a way to connect to the airport.

Assuming you're enabling ICS on the Target Device (not the driver) then answer the first two question so I can see about generating more current directions.

I went into Network control panel, selected the phone's LAN connection, then Properties, Advanced, Share.

I took what you said as "I used the Belkin adapter software to bridge through from Windows to the Mac", not as "you need some actual hardware to bridge from Windows to the Mac." :(

So, is there a software ONLY solution (no cables, no adapters, etc.) to this? Perhaps in VMWare 3.0?

Thanks.

1) VMWare is set to bridged.
2) My cell phone does create a LAN connection (I am able to connect to the internet from within Windows XP)
3) The LAN connections is set as shared.
4) There is NO VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter in the Network Connection control panel.
5) I did create a Computer-to-Computer Airport connect.
6) This connection never gets a valid IP address, always self assigned no matter how long I wait and/or try to renew the DHCP lease.

I don't know what else to say or do. Sorry. All the latest VMWare Tools are installed in my guest so I don't know where you got this "VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter". I tried re-installing the tools and when I select "Modify" there is no mention of this driver either.

There is an "AMD PCNET Family PCI Ethernet" LAN connection. It keeps saying "cable unplugged" when I try to enable that connection.

I got 1 problem and 1 question when I'm trying this solution on my mbp: snow leopard + vmware fusion 2.0.5 + windows xp sp1

Problem: After I disable/enable the NIC, the IP address is not like the pic in your document, my submask is always 255.255.0.0, not your 255.255.255.0, I'm not sure if this is important, however, I tried to ping xp from mac, it's ok, does this mean the network between mac&xp is ok? however, when I try to ping a internet website or open safari, it just showed no internet connection. Of course, I selet the ICS already. It seems the ICS doesn't set anything on the VMware accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter right, is there any manual method to assure this work?

Question: It is the mac that first to setup the wifi network, why it is said in your document that the xp is the DHCP server, not mac?
