I want to share my mobile broadband from my Macbook over Wifi.
So, basically I want to share my Thee Mobile Broadband over wifi so I can connect my netbook to it if im on holiday.
Is there a way to do this?
I would normaly look into something this simple my self, but im quite busy right now.
Any help would be really appreciated :D! !

All you need to do is set up the Mac wifi card in "ad-hoc" mode - I tried it with someone's iPhone without any problems. There is a Mac guide here http://lifehacker.com/283088/share-your ... wirelessly
