Currently have a windows pc that is connected to a sprint overdrive 4g using connection sharing. So, I bridged the connection using the overdrive connected to windows via USB. The sharing allows me to use the PC ethernet to 'backfill' internet to my airport extreme.

By 'backfilling' the network with internet I can use my AE for printers, apple tv and time machine. By using the USB the wifi on the overdrive is disabled, pushes it to the PC and back to the AE.

Now, brand new iMac to replace the PC, can I do the same type of scenerio using the internet sharing feature on the mac?
