I followed the directions, but my xbox still fails at the DNS part. It automatically does the IP Address, but refuses to get any further. What do I do?

Odd. Perhaps the DNS settings on the Mac running Internet Sharing are a bit off? I think I would try re-checking those first.

Personally I get a similar problem when using the Airport connection. For some reasons OSX takes a long time (a minute or two) before to accept the replies from the DNS server. I've checked it with tcpdump. Which, I believe, goes down to the other problem I already mentioned, i.e. performances issues connecting the PS3 to the MacBook via Airport.
