iPod touch I-Net on iPod touch through school's Network

[actingbiz1]

Ok, at my school that have hardwired macs with Airport antennas on the macs, and they have a wireless network. I cannot connect my iPod to the wireless network because it's WEP Enterprise. SO I thought maybe if I have my iPod connect to a computer, with internet sharing it would work. But it doesn't. It is not obtaining an IP address, subnet mask, etc.
I need to connect via msproxy:80 with a district username/password. So how do I get all of this to work?
THANKS

If one of the computers connected via Ethernet shares it connection via Airport it should work just fine.

Otherwise, this isn't something you want to mess with... bad possible consequences, etc...

I have it set so I "Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
To Computers using:
Built-in FireWire
Built-in Airport

Airport Settings:
Network Name: Video
Ch: Auto
Currently no WEP until connection works

Then in the Airport icon on the menubar, I have it set to a Computer-to-Computer network called Video set to Auto Channel.
My computers Net Info:
DHCP- Built-in Ethernet
IP: 10.21.102.28
Sub: 255.255.0.0
Router: 10.21.1.1
Proxies Enabled and Set

My iPod sees the video network, but obtains the following under DHCP:
IP: 10.0.2.4
Sub: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.2.1
DNS: 10.21.1.1
HTTP Proxy not enabled, it if enabled:
Server: msproxy
Port: 80
Authentication ON
Username: *********
Password: *****


Now, what do I do?

The info it obtained is correct for that configuration.

Make sure the Firewall on the Mac is *completely* off. You might also have to set a manual DNS for the Touch (try this last) to something like OpenDNS.

If none of that works, then you're kinda out of luck.

Ok.... so... The firewall on the computer itself? I'll try than and use an openDNS ip.... ill get back to you

I just tried this myself. Sharing a wired Internet connection on my PowerBook from Built-in Ethernet through AirPort, and connecting to my PowerBook's network via the Touch, the Touch does have an internet connection. So yes, it is possible.
