Ok, I have a G5 tower running Tiger which is connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme base station. We have a few other machines in the apartment that are connected up to that wirelessly as well. I also have a PC connected via ethernet to my G5, and the airport connection is being shared over the ethernet. So my Airport network is in the 192.168.1.x range, and my PC is in the 192.168.2.x range. The problem is that no other computers on the wireless network can see my PC. I know this is because the two networks are on different subnets. What I am wondering is how I would "bridge" these two together so that people on the wireless network could see my PC.

Change everybody's subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. Or change the Internet Connection Sharing settings to put the PC on the same subnet as everything else. I think the latter is the simplest and easiest.

Ah, yes that would have been quite easy to do. Duh! I ended up setting up static routing on my router (telling it that all 192.168.2.x calls goto my G5, which has a static IP). This works fine.
But as far as telling ICS to put the PC on the same subnet, I don't see how I have any control over those settings (at least not from the GUI). I have done quite a bit of google searches, and can't find any info on this either. I know that I have a working solution (but I think that using bonjour domains doesn't work...), I would still be interested in knowing if you can actually tweak the ICS settings.

I don't have access right now-the iBook is my wife's and she's pretty possessive of it-so I can't help here. anyone else's input is welcomed. CAN one adjust the settings of ICS?

There is no GUI options for ICS (other than enable or disable, and select the device to share). So unless there are some plist files I can edit, or some terminal commands I can whip out, then it doesn't look like it.
Right now my solution seems to be working, except for bonjour name resolution. I might try the subnet idea you gave, see if that works.
