I don't know what version of Mac OS you're running, but on my 10.4.7
system the instructions cover sharing either the Ethernet or AirPort
connections. By extension, I've shared over FireWire.

You have to be sure that the AirPort and Ethernet networks have
different network addresses and that the clients are configured to use
DHCP, specifying Mac's shared IP address as the server.

My iMac is running 10.3.4 i think and on my windows machine i'm running
windows XP w/ sp2 and all of the DHCP settings on my windows macine
seem to be right, it set my everything from ip address to rotuer (which
is the ip address of my wireless AP and the dns is the same) but the
internet still does not work on the windows machine, it works on the
iMac but not the ther way around? plz help!?!?

The IP address for the PC should be the one that is being provided
the the Mac. I think an IP address in the 10.0.*.* family is
used. I would expect your PC to have this kind of address. I
would be surprised if a 192.168.*.* address was used.

The next thing to try is to see if you have valid DNS servers.
The easy test is to try connecting to web sites via IP addresses.

http://66.35.250.150 Slashdot.org
http://72.14.207.99 Google.com
http://17.254.3.183 Apple.com

Can you connect to any of these IP addresses? If you can, then
this would indicate that you do not have a valid DNS server.

A lot of times if you specify your router as the DNS server it
will forward DNS requests. In your PC's case this would be the
Mac sharing the internet. I would guess its router IP address is
something like 10.0.1.1 (but it could be different).

You could also go to the router that is actually talking to your
ISP and see if you can get it to tell you the DNS IP addresses of
your ISP. You might also be able to find your ISP's DNS addresses
on your ISP's web site.
