Internet sharing not working anymore

Hi all,
since I've installed Snow Leopard i can't anymore share my internet connection with other devices / computers. Everything worked perfectly on Leopard, but now when i turn on internet sharing via airport, other devices (macBook Pro and ipod touch / iphone) CAN connect to network but CAN'T connect to the internet. (document share not working to...)
Also if I create a simple airport network (no internet sharing) computers can't connect to each others and share documents.
Please help as everything was working greatly with Snow Leopard, but this is such a big problem that I would have to go back (great pain and job interruption) to leopard...

Tried deleting / recreating positions, and to cancel pref files but same problem....

This and ALL other fixes for internet sharing from my macbook to share with my iPhone do not work.
I am a rabid Mac fan, hard core enough to have been in physical platform arguments. I am VERY unhappy to hear Apple is dropping this internet sharing feature when I need it most.

Is there any other software for Mac that will do this?

Try updating your SL with "AirPort Client Update 2009-002." I saw an article that confirms the recent AirPort Client Update 2009-002 fixed this issue http://bit.ly/6ZyqtF

Yes I also saw that this new update could fix the internet sharing problem in the soft update window.

But, though I tried to install this update, I still could NOT solve the internet sharing problem in Macboook 2006 late model.

Is anyone who can solve this problem ?

I guess that this problem is related to Atheros airport chipset which is used for old Mac stuffs.
