Internet Connection Sharing with 10.2.1

Internet Connection Sharing with 10.2.1 Networking 2 posts Sep 24, 2002 — Sep 24, 2002
I'm currently using Brickhouse to share an adsl connection from an imac to 2 ibooks and a powerbook. All run Jaguar with latest upgrades.

Simple set-up , adsl modem connects into imac via ethernet and share is over a wireless network that has been established by the imac (the server)

What I'd like to do is use another firewall front end , so I figured with Jaguar the idea is to use the built in internet connection sharing. This is where it stops for me. If I enable this on the server I cannot create or join a wireless network from the server.

We currently use manual static ip addresses - so I changed to dhcp for the ibooks - no good. I noticed that the server sets itself up as 10.0.2.1 netmask 10.0.2.255 when you enable sharing. There is no way I found to connect another mac to the server with sharing enabled.

What am I missing ? Does this work at all in Jaguar ? Does it involve a DHCP server running on the machine doing the serving ?- note that I do NOT have OSX Server on any machine.
you should turn off everything that brickhouse does: deactivate the firewall/net sharing options in brickhouse, then 'save' those settings, then 'apply. I'd restart after you do this. now try using jag's net sharing and firewall options.
