> Yeah - Ethernet to WAN on the router didn't work. This is because you can only have one router, and when you use Internet Sharing, the Mac is acting as the router. I once had an Airport Extreme 802.11 G base station that blew out the WAN port due to a lightning strike. I also had a wired router. I was able to allow the wired router to handle the WAN connection from my cable modem and distribute the IP addresses via DHCP and then connect it directly to a LAN port on the Airport with the Airport's DHCP disabled and have full wireless access. You need to attach the cable to any LAN port, and not the WAN port, and then disable DHCP on the router so that the Mac hands out the IP addresses. When I use Internet Sharing on my Tiger 10.4 Macs the IP addresses are in the 192.168.2.x range. My router which is before the Mac that is doing the sharing is an Apple Express 802.11n and assigns addresses in the 10.0.1.x range, so I believe you should see the 192.168.2.x range for Internet Sharing irrespective of whatever IP address the sharing Mac may have from your internet connection. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
