The default rules that are enabled when you turn on internet sharing don't work very well. I installed a second ethernet card in my G4 that I use as a server/router. When I turn on internet sharing the outbound connections from other computers on my local network don't seem to work. The outbound connections seem to lose state information and the return traffic doesn't make it through the firewall. I've been meaning to learn the rules syntax but I haven't had much time recently. What I've done is just open the firewall to inbound traffic on any relevant port such as 80, 25, 110 etc. This isn't a great solution but on OS X it probably isn't too dangerous since there are no services running on those ports by default.
