10.3 Server: Enable internet sharing via AirPort

To share your Ethernet connection through AirPort under 10.3 Server, do the following:
- Ethernet card must have a static IP.
- In Server Admin, under NAT, share your Built-in Ethernet.
- Under DHCP, create a new subnet with the following settings:
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Network Interface: en1
- Router: Ethernet card's IP.
Also make sure you have the correct DNS entered.
- 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.
