OK so this is the situation: basically I'm trying to get full online functionality out of my Wii through my iMac. The iMac is connected to my wired router, but is broadcasting a wireless signal for the Wii through its internal Airport functionality, which it detects just fine (I do not own any sort of external Airport equipment, this is all coming from the iMac itself). The problem is that there are some port forwarding problems somewhere along the line, so even though the Wii can browse the web/buy VC games/use weather channel/etc., it CAN'T seem to host Smash Bros games or even play random games with others
Without further adieu, I give you the settings (in handy picture form, including some comments)
Internet Sharing settings (1, 2)
Ethernet settings
Airport settings (1, 2, 3)
The Wii detects the wireless network automatically as an access point, but probably needs to be manually configured as well. In my routers settings, I have the DMZ setting turned on but not sure if it's supposed to point toward the iMac .100 IP or the Airport .111 IP
Any thoughts?

Check your Wii to see what IP and subnet it is getting from your iMac.
