I have an old Powermac G4 running OSX server, a new iMac, and an Xbox 360, but I'm only allowed two on the network here (student accommodation).

I've decided that the most feasible way with my current gear is to network my iMac to the G4 via Firewire. That way the server is still visible to the student network, but all my machines are on the internet.

I've tried to enable internet sharing from the ethernet to the firewire, and the iMac has joined the network, that all works fine. But for some reason it can't browse the internet.

This was run through the setup wizard thing in OSX server (10.4), and I've tried disabling the firewall, but to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas? :)

Ah, nevermind!
If anyone else has the same problem; turn off Zone Transfers under DNS. It has now automagically worked for me :D
