In Mac Os X.3.2 (Panther) I am connecting to a dsl provider but I want to share my connection with other computers so I activate the schare internet connection in System Preferences --> Sharing.
I hav only on port a hub , the dsl modem (ethernet on Westel dual) and another mac.
So the question.
How do I see what is the ip set for the internet connection ?
Once I see it can I change its default settings ?
Thanks

The easiest way to find out your current IP address is IP Address Menu, which places it in your menu bar. As for changing the default settings, I doubt this can be done on your end, since most DSL providers give you a static IP address and leave it alone.
Good luck!

btw�_I just learned that Panther 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 apparently have issues with ICS. (I believe it! I haven�t downloaded 10.3.2 yet, and I can�t share my G5�s connection with my G3!)
Read about it here.

For the record, I haven't had a single problem with ICS (DSL connection shared via Airport).
None whatsoever, 10.3 --> 10.3.1 --> 10.3.2

I'll chime in as another without problems.
FPiMac (dialup) shared with B&W G3...yes, shared dialup is painfully slow! 
I noticed that if you let your system go to sleep you have to restart sharing...is that new to 10.3?

Perhaps you can help bojangles over in the other thread?

Because my suggestions didn't do any good, and I can't really help any more, seeing as I'm sharing DSL via Airport, and not dial-up via Ethernet, as he is...
