I'm trying to share my aiport connection from my powerbook to a linux box through ethernet. I've turned on personal web sharing, and internet sharing on. From what I understand when you turn internet sharing on through ethernet, the mac should set its ethernet port to the address 192.168.2.xxx, and then act as a DHCP server from there.
My problem is, when I turn on internet sharing, my ethernet port is set to the address 169.xxx.xxx.xxx. And then, its also not giving an ip address to my linux box.
Why isn't internet sharing setting up the ethernet port? What am i missing?
