Internet Sharing works here...sorta
Authored by: pascalpp on Oct 14, '02 11:03:32PM

My G4 desktop is set to share its Ethernet DSL connection over airport. I have an iBook connected to the G4 via airport and I'm usually able to surf the web and use iChat just fine, although sometimes my browser stalls when loading some web pages.

However, I can't get Software Update to work. it always complains that it can't connect to the internet. Anyone know a way to fix this?

I also can't seem to get any secure connections to work in my browser (I tried Explorer and Chimera). Perhaps this is the reason software update isn't working as well, since i think the latest version of software update uses a secure connection to do its business. anyone else out there having this problem?

It works for me....sorta to....

I have one ibook witch I connect trough a router to an old imac.
The imac is then connected to the internet/adsl.

On both machines I use mozilla. On the ibook:
In Mozilla-preferences-Advanced-Proxies I set proxy to manual.
My internet-company has this adress: proxy.online.no port: 8080
(same for ftp but port 21)

When I want to connect to my internet-bank I have to connect directly to internet with the Ibook. I can turn of internet on the imac using Remote Desktop, but then I loose connection with the imac...and cant access it anymore...well...thats another thema.
