share airport connection via airport

Can I share my airport connection via airport?
I can barely get aiport signal in my hotel room with my macbook, but my iphone cannot find any networks. Can I use my macbook pro as a bridge?
If I cannot do it with leopard sharing, is there a third party application that can allow it?
Thanks a lot!

MacBook 2GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Open Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu. Search for "internet sharing." The first article explains how to set it up.

My problem is that when I select airport as my "share your connection from" setting, there is no option for airport under "to computers using:".

Yep, looks like you cannot share from Airport to Airport.

See if the hotel can provide a wired Ethernet connection for you or change your room to one with better reception.
