To share your Ethernet connection through AirPort under 10.3 Server, do the following:

  1. Ethernet card must have a static IP.
  2. In Server Admin, under NAT, share your Built-in Ethernet.
  3. Under DHCP, create a new subnet with the following settings: Also make sure you have the correct DNS entered.
  4. Create a Computer to Computer Network with the AirPort menu item.
All internet traffic will now be routed through this connection to connected users. A point to note is that if I enabled WEP on my computer-computer network, I could not obtain an IP address from my DHCP server. Instead I made my DHCP IP range only 1 IP long.
