Just Enable Port 80
Authored by: ALinecker on Sep 06, '02 10:38:27AM

Why go through all of that? Enable Port 80 in the firewall (or enable Web Sharing which also enables Port 80) and internet sharing works without a hitch. If you don't enable Port 80, internet sharing doesn't work.

Your fix might also do the trick (I don't 100% understand what you did), but enabling a Port is much easier.

Although you can tell me if I'm wrong (I'm not the strongest Unix guy).

Just Enable Port 80

I'm not a guru either, but many other ports can be needed by the other users of the internet sharing, like pop3 (110), nntp, smtp etc etc etc and you'd have to add each of them by hand...
