How to set up iPhone with iMac Wi-Fi

[Amy_i3]

How can I link my iPhone with my iMac Intel core Duo Wi-Fi (via Airport?)So that I can get faster internet speed at home .one of my friend tried to explain me how to do this, but when I tried to setup Wi-Fi at home, I just got lost and couldn’t get it to work. I need step-by-step solution to do this .I am too new to Mac and can’t understand the function of the various settings on Airport and my iPhone 3G, so that I can do this on my own. I struggle whole day with this, the function of the various settings on Airport and my iPhone 3G, so that I can do this on my own. What I was capable to discover didn't seem to give me sufficient information to set up the whole thing. Possibly what I was trying to do wasn't even possible using only the iMac. Whoever solve this issue, my thanks to you in advance!

You first need to turn on Internet Sharing and share your Ethernet connection (wired) through Airport (wireless).
step1:- On your iMac go to Open System Preferences and after that click on Sharing. After that Select “Internet Sharing” under the service listing and then provide a computer name. Under that Choose a Network, the name of your wireless network be supposed to come into view, now click the blue arrow icon on the far right of the name of your wireless network, and enter the WEP (pre shared key) password you entered on your iMac. Once it is done your iPhone will be connected wirelessly with iMac Intel core Duo Wi-Fi. Now, Under the computers using: section, tick the “Airport” box and then Click on “Airport Options” to recognize your recently created network Enter a name (within this instance we will utilize NDS) and Leave “Channel” resting on Automatic and enter security details as you perceive (Tick “Enable Encryption”, enter a 10 digit password, use 40 bit encryption) and then Click on OK. Now click “On” checkbox next to the Internet Sharing Service and you may get two things to be done.1st If your Airport is off it will tell you to turn on.2nd It will give you the message “Are you confident you would like to turn on Internet Sharing”. Select yes for both. Now you’re about to done with it the Mac is configured to act as a Wireless AP we need to configure the DS to connect to it as most computers can access your Mac as an Access Point and share its Internet but the DS doesn’t handle the DHCP server. So we have to do it manually.
Once your done now follow the
step2: 1st on your iPhone the go to Settings select Wi-Fi and then Turn on Wi-Fi

It looks like I have wifi and then BOOM it switches to 3G to get anywhere.
