I have exactly the same problem, and I did fine one extra bit of  
information, in system.log ( Applications->Utilities->Console- 
 >system.log through the GUI):

So, the DHCP requests are coming in, but nothing is going out.

I've tried to start bootpd in debug mode but that isn't enough to  
create a managed network. And if the driver program /usr/libexec/ 
InternetSharing has a debug mode it isn't documented. And if there's  
a way to enable debugging by setting
a flag in its preference file (/Library/Preferences/ 
SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist) it's also not documented:-(
