I want to share my internet connection on 2 pcs (imac+mac mini), however, the default internet connection sharing stuff, is really unstable. Is there any 3rd part alternative, working stable?

Thanks.

I think you are asking for how to achieve your chosen solution, rather than describing your problem and seeing what people come up with - that may be fixing your unstable connection, or supplying an alternative. I'm just pointing this out as you are a new user so you may not be familiar with the best way to ask questions on here for maximum answer-potential. With this in mind, I would suggest editing your question a little to incorporate other possible solutions. Welcome, by the way :) – stuffe Mar 1 '12 at 21:50

i've personally never seen any 3rd party apps.

If you really want a stable connection i'd recommend buying a cheap router. I don't think the wifi module in mac's are good enough to share a connection reliably.

i already have a (great) wifi router, but for reasons i find it hard to explain (nothing that could be fixed hardware/software) i can't use it. So in your opinion the point is the cheap hardware in the mac itself. Well, that's interesting, thanks. – cedivad Dec 30 '11 at 17:15
Just an opinion, but i've had the same issues as you before with sharing over wireless. – lennard Dec 30 '11 at 17:19
You should include this key point about your problem with a wireless router within your original question. I guess you are most probably working in a polluted wireless environment. – daniel Azuelos May 5 '12 at 20:59
