mac internet connection sharing????

It has one built in, but without a 3rd party app, you have to get really techincal (ie. you have to use the command line). I would highly recommend the application "Brick House". It can be found at www.versiontracker.com. Not only does it support NAT (Network Adderess Translation - the connection sharing thing), it also gives you a pretty good firewall.

Hope this helps!
 
thanks.
but i am interested in finding out how to do this from the command line...if you could let me know, please do.
thanks again.

if you want to learn to do it from the command line, open terminal and type man natd

Here is a snipit

natd - Network Address Translation Daemon

SYNOPSIS
natd [-ldsmvu] [-dynamic] [-i inport] [-o outport] [-p port] [-a address]
[-n interface] [-f configfile]

natd [-log] [-deny_incoming] [-log_denied] [-use_sockets] [-same_ports]
[-verbose] [-log_facility facility_name] [-unregistered_only] [-dynamic]
[-inport inport] [-outport outport] [-port port] [-alias_address address]
[-interface interface] [-config configfile] [-redirect_port linkspec]
[-redirect_address localIP publicIP] [-reverse] [-proxy_only]
[-proxy_rule proxyspec] [-pptpalias localIP]

DESCRIPTION
This program provides a Network Address Translation facility for use with
divert(4) sockets under FreeBSD. It is intended for use with NICs - if
you want to do NAT on a PPP link, use the -alias switch to ppp(8).

Natd normally runs in the background as a daemon. It is passed raw IP
packets as they travel into and out of the machine, and will possibly
change these before re-injecting them back into the IP packet stream.
