OSX internet sharing over airport
Are there any MacOSX experts out there with experience of setting up the internet sharing?
G5 - connects to internet over airport to wireless router using DHCP.
Gets IP address, subnet and router address from WiFii router no problem. everything fine. Airport is top of Network Port Configurations.
G5 - Internet sharing is on. Firewall is off. Sharing is set to share airport connection to other computers on network.
G5 is also connected to LAN through Ethernet. Ethernet is second in list and
has IP address of 192.168.1.101
G3 is connected to LAN, is using DHCP and has been given 192.168.1.100 as its IP address and 192.168.1.1 as the router address, same subnet.
I can see files on both machines disks but no internet.
Apple support were useless.
Any other network gurus out there???
HELP.

Well, I've sorted this out no thanks to Apple!!!
Turns out the G5 is allowing connections through it using the IP range 192.168.2.x with 192.168.2.1 as the router address, couldn'tfind this anywhere and just stumbled across this.
It just didn't work straight away and then just suddenly started working...
Very weird but problem (sort of) sold.
