MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.1)

[AndieB]

Hi all,


since I bought Snow Leopard and also after updating to v10.6.1 I've had great issues with Internet sharing on my MacBook Pro.

When running Tiger, it all worked out very well.

I have my MacBook Pro which connects via AirPort to my wireless router and the IP-address for my AirPort has been assigned to 192.168.76.103.

I've enabled Internet sharing and I have a device which connects to my MacBook Pro via the ethernet port. The device is using DHCP.

When I connect my device and turn it on, it receives no IP-address from my MacBook Pro!

I can't figure out what is wrong!

There must have been some changes made, because it worked out perfect in Mac OS X Tiger. The only change that has taken place is the update to Snow Leopard.

Does anyone have any clue what I can do??

Thank you in advance!

Are you using a crosscable to link the mbp with the other device?

Cable type

Are you using a crosscable to link the mbp with the other device?

I am using what I would call a "standard" cable, that you use when connecting a device to a router/switch.
