[Ti] Cannot share internet connection

[Tom R. no spam]

Any idea the technicalities behind why doing the Sharing Internet
tab thing, at least in 10.2.6, gets the following unprecise alert?
Including, of course, what if a NATing router were between the
cable modem and one's Mac?  I'd rather not experiment to find
out, if possible.

"In some cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might
unintentionally affect the network settings of other ISP customers,
and your ISP might disconnect you to prevent network disruption"

this seems like a way to share your internet connection. Others nearby
can connect to this network "Steve's PowerBook Network" for example,
but can't reach the internet. I find this intuitive going back to Remote
Access connections which put both computers on the same network and
internet connection.

in the Network System Preference and you'll see how easy it is to share
either way.
