Hey

I've got three Macs, all running 10.2 (and boy its a great release!) and all Airport equipped. I've got a white ABS located upstairs where it provides pretty good coverage throughout the flat

In my living room I've got a G4 Cube and an iMac DV+ and they are linked with an Ethernet cable. in 'Network' I've created a configuration that enables both Airport and Ethernet, and they are listed in that order under 'Network Port Configurations'.

I never could get a good signal outside in my garden (just off the living room), and in fact there was only one corner where my TiBook could see the ABS.

I establish a 'Net connection on the Cube, and I've setup the iMac to share internet connection that it gets from Ethernet via Airport.

Everythings cool - I get absolutely solid coverage in the entire garden (hell, way out in the park thats just beyond my garden!) on my TiBook and I'm happy.

But unfortunately even though the iMac is getting connectivity via Ethernet, and distributing it to my TiBook via Airport, it (the iMac) can't seem to use the connection itself.

I've tried both ssh to a remote host, as well as IE and it just doesn't see it.

So I know its a configuration issue. Any ideas on what I should change, and where?

At first I thought it might be something in the Proxy panel of IE, but that doesn't explain the ssh problem.

Thanks for your help and take care
