I don't know anything about Mac computers so bare with me. I have a friend who has a mac computer and a Dell laptop. We want to share the internet connection via wireless. Internet comes though the Mac right now (dial up) but we want to get Satalite high speed internet. We would also like to be able to retrieve email on the laptop when on the road. I have no idea how to do any of this. What do i need? I assume I need a wireless router that is Mac & PC compatible to share the Internet connection. How do we get email on the laptop when we are on the road? How does all of this work with satalite internet connection?

Get a wireless Access Point for your broadband connection and then buy compatible wireless network cards for the laptop and pc. that is one way. the folks who sell you the satellite stuff will tell you exactly what to use.
as for the email on the road. the answer depends on what you use for email client. why not use web based mail, then you can easily retrieve it using any available wireless internet connection access point, like in your Marriott Courtyard or your airport internet cube.
