If you have the Internet connection running to the Vista computer, configure ICS and the MAC should be able to share the Internet. Don't know how to do ICS with a Mac, you'll have to wait for other responses if that's your configuration.

So, you have the Internet connected to the Mac and want to share the connection with the Vista machine?

I don't either, so waiting is the correct response.

Maybe this will work for you. These are for sharing using ethernet to the MAC and the MAC's Airport card to a wireless adapter on the Windows machine.

If you have a second ethernet adapter on the MAC, set up would be similar, except that shared to device would be the second ethernet card.
