I'm trying to use my Mac Mini with an Air****t Extreme card, which is
connected to the internet using Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL modem,
for Internet Sharing with a Windows (work) laptop.
So, in the Sharing preferences panel:
Share connection from: Built in Ethernet
To computers using: Air****t
I get the warning message:
Other settings may interfere with Internet Sharing.
The 'More Info' button gives the popup message:
Your firewall settings will prevent computers sharing your internet
connection from browsing the web. Enable Personal Web Sharing in the
Services pane to allow computers sharing your connection to browse the
web.
I do that, turn the Air****t card on, and the laptop can see the
network, but can't connect.
If I turn the Firewall off, then I can connect fine, but then I don't
have a Firewall. Isn't that risky if I'm using DSL? How can I do the
internet sharing and still protect my computer?
I realize I could buy a router with a built-in firewall, but isn't
there a way to set up the system using what I have?
Thanks,
AGS
