Sun Broadband Wireless Internet Sharing

It has been two months since I subscribed to Sun Cellular's wireless internet service that is weirdly named "Sun Broadband Wireless". I think it's weird because broadband was mentioned before wireless. And weirder because it is barely able to provide "broadband" service. But that's not the point. Now let's assume that you have Sun Broadband Wireless, and you want to share your internet connection, how do you do that? Well, you came to the right place. Because that's exactly what I'm going to write about. In fact, I am writing this post via a computer to computer wifi connection. I'm using a MacBook while the host (the computer connected to SBW) runs on Windows XP SP2. As promised, here's a list of internet sharing options for your Sun Broadband Wireless: [cbmage]Affiliate Marketing[/cbmage]

1. On a Mac, use AirPort Internet Sharing. Tested to be working with wifi enabled gadgets such as PSP, iPhone 3G, iPod touch, HTC touch. COST: zero. CONS: shortened battery life for Mac. Windows-based laptop cannot connect.
2. On Windows XP, enable Internet Connection Sharing on your SBW connection. Create an ad-hoc (computer-to-computer) wifi network. This is the current setup at home right now since the PCs can't connect to my Mac. Tested with 5 concurrent users. 1 Vista, 3 XP, 1 MacBook. I have yet to test if the wifi enabled gadgets are able to leech from the host's internet connection. COST: zero. CONS: shortened battery life for host PC
3. Use a 3G Mobile Router. Here's a sample. However, this router is very costly. At Villman, it costs Php8,988.

There you have it. Let me know what works for you or if I left out other internet sharing options. Thanks! :)
