I woat to use my iPhone as remote control for VLC. I use http://hobbyistsoftware.com/VLC-more and it is working fine when I am connected to my AirPort network.
I will use my MacBook at a place where there is no AirPort connection (even currently is not available) for playing videos.
Is it possible and if so how do I run my mac as default gateway and access point but just for local network so that I can connect my iPhone to it ?
Thanks in advance

If you have WiFi turned on then you have a pizza slice icon at the right of the menu bar. If it isn't there then open
Network
inSystem Preferences
to make sure WiFi is on and you haveShow Wi-Fi status in menu bar
selected.Select
Create Network...
which will open up a dialog where you can specify a network name and security. I usually change security to40-bit WEP
just so the link is secure.You can now connect to this network from your iPhone in the same way as any other WiFi net.
