I am trying to share my internet connection but am having issues.
I am running 10.4.11 on Intel iMac.
What I want to do is the following:My internet comes in via USB (yes thats
right), I want to share that with the built in ethernet out to my wireless
router ethernet port. Then have all my other devices connect to the router.
Side Note: I have done this successfully with a windows XP machine.
My problem is when I go to system pref's on the Mac and click sharing, share
from USB to Ethernet it seems to be setting my ethernet port IP to
169.254.246.111 and a subnet to 255.255.0.0 based on what the profiler says. I
think this is my issue as I would expect (based on windows experience) that it
should be 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively - but I am not sure.
I tried using the auto DHCP on the ethernet port under Network, but that
doesn't seem to work either.
The funny thing also is that on my other machine a G4 with 10.4.11 it won't
even let me share from the USB to the ethernet - it doesn't give me any 'share
to' ports for some reason.
Any Ideas?
Jeff
