OK I've created the comp network on the MDD. I have Airport turned on on the MDD connected to the MDD network, also it has an Ethernet connection to the router. In the Internet pane I tell it to share the Ethernet connection to computers using Airport. I connect to the MDD via AirPort from my Wally ( I gave up on the iBook for now because it's got 10.1 and the wally is 10.4.11) I can do all normal sharing stuff but it will not let me connect to the net? Does this look right so far?
