    When you say mobile broadband, I assume you mean one of those USB datamodems ? You have this connected to the PC and then you want to access the Internet through the PC with Internet Connection Sharing?

    I would not advise this, as it will be messy to set up.. You would be better off getting a 3G router so that they can access the internet independently.. I have one of these and it works perfectly for my two PCs... http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=312&pl1_id=3&pl2_id=18

    (You need to give more information or fill out the bits I've got wrong)

    I gave up in the end and jst went ahead and brought a 3g router. does the job 100%. i have a new problem though any game i tried playing yesterday online kept saying the severs were down. but i was logged in the playstation network so. what would be causing that.
