I am trying to enable Mac OSX's built in firewall on only one network interface, as I am sharing my internet connection from said machine. What I've got is a Gigabit Eternet G4 running OSX, and I want to use it as my router. I have installed a secondary NIC that is working great. So, using built in sharing, it is working. However, whenever I try to use a program such as Adium, it will not work on a networked machine, as the firewall blocks it on the internal Network.

Basically what I need to do is enable the firewall on the new NIC I installed, but keep it disabled on the built in one. Is there any way to do this?
