Internet Sharing Stops on Shutdown/Restart

[poohbear666]

iMac with wired broadband connection. I use airport with internet sharing to connect an ipod touch and macbook to the internet through the imac's broadband connection.

Within the last few days, whenever I shutdown/restart, the internet sharing fails. Checkbox for internet sharing is still checked - I uncheck, select airport options, dialog comes up with all the right information already there, I click OK, click on internet sharing check box, click for internet sharing to start, green light comes on and everything works fine. Until I shutdown/restart - airport starts up OK but not internet sharing.

Only thing I have consciously done recently is install Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (which actually works very well, giving me access to a remote MS Windows server ....). Removing this does not solve the problem with internet sharing, although I guess it could have modified something or put a file somewhere which deinstalling doesn't fix (I use AppTrap to try to clear all files when removing applications).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Problem has returned ....

I've been experiencing exactly the same problem for a while.

The most irritating thing is that I remember that it used to work fine, with the sharing being on after restarting. Now, despite having the internet sharing check box ticked, any connection without restarting it leads to a timeout.

Ridiculous.

And very annoying.

Internet sharing stops at shutdown/startup

I am having the same problem. Is there still no solution to this?
