I have two Macs, both 10.4.10. An iMac is connected to the Internet
via cable modem/Ethernet, and has Internet Sharing turned on. The
firewall is on, and the only service allowed is "Personal Web
Sharing."

A MacBook gets online via Airport, sharing the iMac's connection. The
MacBook can access websites, but any attempt to receive/send email via
Eudora results in "server not responding." I assume there is another
service or setting I need to turn on in the iMac to allow the MacBook
to use email.

What do I need to do in the iMacs Internet Sharing to let the MacBook
use Eudora over Airport?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Although I know it is possible to have such a setup as you describe, I
would rather buy a router (such as the Airport Extreme, for example - of
course, also a third-party router works). This setup has the advantage
that both computers can operate independently from each other.

I think the instructions for your setup can be found here:
