Hi, in Tiger I used to easily be able to turn on my airport on my MacPro and then enable internet sharing, and I'd be able to see my MacPro from my laptops and use it to get online. When I moved to Leopard it got more difficult and slow. I now need to create new networks on my MacPro anytime I wanna used my laptops wirelessly and they connect in a computer to computer network style rather than just connecting to the internet. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I have little trouble with my 2009 Pro. Have you set everything correctly in the Sharing pane? I did have some periods of dropped network with 10.6 and 10.6.1, but 10.6.2 seems to have cleared it up.
