So I just watched this video and it's really easy to do. Make your laptop a hot spot (CNET Video Guide).

I had no idea I could even do this. Though I always thought I should be able to. Anyways, this is probably old news to many of you, but if you're like me, this video is money. Literally, maybe you don't need to spend extra $$ on a wireless router. Or maybe you only have one computer.

I'm using an iMac to broadcast a wireless signal to a MacBook Pro, no bloody router! This works for both PC and Mac. Try it out.
