So I'm trying to get internet sharing over firewire to work through my powerbook to my PC. Mostly so I can transfer huge files across very quickly.
I've turned on Internet Sharing on my Mac and set it to Share my "Built-in Ethernet" connection to computers using "Built-in Firewire".
I had to add Firewire by selecting "Network Port Configuration" in the "Show:" drop down in the "Network" System Preferences window.
So I'm tailing my /var/log/system.log file. And i can see that my PC is asking for an ip address. Here's a snippet of my logfile:
InternetSharing[6712]: InternetSharing starting

bootpd[6719]: OFFER sent <no hostname> 192.168.2.22 pktsize 300
natd[6830]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
Notice that the PC is clearly trying to grab an IP, but doesn't seem to be satisfied, so it keeps asking. Two OFFER's have already been sent with two different IP addresses. But the PC still doesn't seem to be connected.
Also note that when I launch Internet Sharing there are some complaints about "127.0.0.1#54: file not found" by named.
Lastly, natd seems to complain an awful lot about "failed to write packet back (Host is down)" I presume it's trying to translate my pings to 192.168.2.21/22 and it's noticing that the PC is not connected properly.
Any ideas?
