Okay... the PC I use to share my dial up connection was down, again, and so I thought I'd just use my PB to share the connection. I go in, tell it to share the internal modem connection over built in ethernet and it will give the other computers IPs using DHCP, but it will not allow them to access the internet. In defense of the PB, the DNS servers were set to 192.168.0.1 because of M$'s numbering scheme.

In other news:

My PB had been otherwise acting up: iChat not working even after fixed by deleting prefs, iMovie problems, bad RAM management, etc. I ran the "repair disk" function off of my restore disc, and it said that several allocation tables were corrupted or crosslinked or something. (I know, that's really helpful :D) They were messed up to say the least. It couldn't or wouldn't repair them. I was using Jag restore discs; I upgraded to Panther and didn't have those discs. What else can I do besides completely reinstalling? I only installed Panther on December 3, 2003. Other specs are in my sig. Oh, it has the standard 256 RAM.
