OK! I have gotten Internet Sharing to work before and I believe it was using Panther. I'm also pretty sure it was working in Tiger, but recently it just stopped.
This is what was working, but not anymore. I have a iBook G4 1.33GHz that connects to my belkin router wirelessly. I get a good connection from it. Now I want to share my wireless internet from the Airport card to the built-in Ethernet using a crossover cable that connects to the ethernet of my Windows xp laptop [DSL ->router ->wireless card on iBook -> ethernet iBook -> to Windows ethernet]. It worked before with the crossover cable,but not anymore, so i have now switched to a regular cat5 network cable. Still nothing works. I have also formatted and reinstalled Mac OS X Tiger and ran all updates and also formatted the windows machine but cannot receive any internet. Windows nor iBook have firewall in place until I get this to work. Only router has firewall.
I have turned on appletalk in the airport settings and have set up internet sharing. now when i go to the built-in ethernet under tcp/ip it says the dhcp ip address is 168.254.204.XXX. I tell it to renew the dchp lease and it stays the same. I have turned on Apple Talk in "built-in ethernet" and still no luck. I have set up IPv4 manually, using DHCP with manual address, using DHCP, and using bootP in built-in ethernet and NOTHING WORKS. I have tried looking at the router and everything seems fine. Wireless internet works flawlessly on iBook, I just can not get it to share because of the "built-in ethernet" 168.254 ip address. I have also set up IPv6 to automatic and still nothing. Please any help will be greatly appreciated!
I'm running out of options and have been working on this for over 5 hrs and I'm running out of patience. I'm sorry if this has sort of thread has been on here before, I have Yahoo'd and Google'd for a while and have had absolutely on luck!
