internet sharing shuts off

Hi

My mac is networked via ethernet to my son's PC. We keep having a problem though staying connected. Every time I log out, restart, or put the computer to sleep, he gets disconnected. When I log back on, you would think the connection would automatically be re-established, but it doesn't. The reason is that, when my computer goes to sleep (Etc.), the "Internet sharing" feature in the sharing preferences keeps turning off, even though I've locked it. Is there a way to make it so that it stays on all the time and doesn't shut off like this?

Thanks for whatever help you can give.

By the wat, I run OS10.2 jaguar.
 
Try brickhouse. It's a GUI for the built in IP firewall, and allows you to setup IP sharing, that is remembered all the time.
