How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
4.       Select Network Setup.
5.       Select Wireless setup.
6.       Select Scan
7.       Select your network
8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
10.   Select Enter.
11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
security key.
12.   Press the right arrow.
13.   Select Auto.
14.   Press the right arrow.
15.   Select Save and connect.
These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

  • How to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

    how to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

    The airport utility has nothing whatever to do with the sony bluray player.
    The airport utility is to setup wireless in the airport.. once you setup wireless then you use the sony setup for wireless in the player as per its manual.
    Please do keep the wireless names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    As well as pure alphanumeric passwords if you want to do this successfully.

  • How on earth could I be connecting to the Internet through my airport express when it is not connected to anything?

    I'm not entirely displeased with the situation but I cannot see how I could be connecting to the Internet through my airport express when the Airport is not connected to anything.
    Weird huh?
    I have a separate non- Airport wireless network connected to the Internet.  I had previously set-up the Airport to link with this network but disconnected it (by resetting it) as music streaming was unlistenable due to frequent drop out.  I now just have the Airport Express as a standalone wireless network only connecting to the stereo to stream music from devices.
    My devices are only connected to the Airport network with cellular data off. Yet I can still connect to the Internet AND listen to streaming music (without drop-out no less).
    I don't want to fix it but I would like to know how the frag it could happen so i don't screw it up accidentally.

    I would say you still have something of the previous setup.
    To be sure you don't mess up, save the configuration.. go to the top menu area of the airport utility and export configuration.. which will land on your computer.
    Now you can recover at anytime to the current setup.
    How it works.. that is magical ..
    Open the airport utility.. edit.. and take a screenshot and post it of the following pages..
    Internet wireless network
    THen we can tell you how it is working.

  • How do connect my sony bravia tv as a monitor screen for mac pro

    How do I connect my Sony Bravia tv as a monitor for my MacBook Pro? I have an hdmi lead with an adapter to the computer and get a picture of factory setting cosmos with some of the folders of my desktop going off the side of the tv screen.

    If you have the right cable, and have set the right input on your Sony, then you need to adjust one thing.  Go to System Preferences>Displays>Set Mirroring.  I think you've got it set to Extended desktop, which means the Sony is just a HUGE extension of your Mac OSX desktop.
    That should fix your issue.

  • How to Connect a Sony Bravia TV to Time Capsule

    I am trying to get a Sony Bravia KDL26EX553BU TV to use my Wireless Network which consists of an Apple iMac PC which is linked wirelessly to an Apple Time Capsule which has a wired connection to a Netgear DM111P ADSL2+ Modem.
    The Wireless Network is very good and I don't normally get any problems connecting equipment but trying to link the Sony TV does not appear to work by the conventional method of scanning for the network, clicking on it and entering the password.
    In addition to my Network Password the Sony TV requires a WPA Key which I am unable to identify and which Sony state "The WPA address which the TV requires can only be provided through your internet service provider. Please try to check with your service provider for the WPA address and let us know if this has been helpful."
    My ISP only provide support for the Routers that they provide and so they cannot help - I have looked through other questions and I thought that I had found the answer with an Equivalent Network Password which was a 64 digit WPA Pre-Shared Key but this would no work. When I connect the items together with an Ethernet Cable it works fine but other than that I cannot find out how to link the TV to my network.
    I am a little surprised that Sony don't have an answer  and any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How to connect with sony bravia.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect my Mac pro with my Sony Bravia LCD TV. I bought a MiniDP to VGA cable and I already had a VGA extension to connect with my TV. I used to use that cable to connect my other laptop and worked ok with frequent "no synchronisation". Once I connected all, nothing happened. I restarted the PC but nothing happened. I tried to play around with all connection, but nothing happened. I do use windows XP in my mac pro as well and it didnt work their either although my other PC working fine with same VGA cable. I'm not very sure my MiniDP to VGA cable is working or not? Is there anyway I can check its working. Also, someone (sorry forgot the name) in the forum said, HDMI works better then VGA. What do I have to do to connect my PC through HDMI. Is there any direct cable to connect MiniDP and HDMI? Thanks for your help.

    The best way to test if the VGA adapter is bad or not is to try it with another display, preferably a computer monitor instead of a TV. If it doesn't work with a monitor, then that's stronger evidence the adapter is bad.
    There are MiniDP to HDMI adapters. Here's an example of one. I believe this company will ship internationally. You might be able to find UK sources for similar adapters.

  • How to connect my time capsule & macbook to the internet?

    I purchased a Time Capsule last weekend to back up all my photos etc.  I was able to set up the Time Capsule with Airport Utility and now have my home network set up, I can easily get everything I need on my Macbook Pro (mid 2009, Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 if that helps?) EXCEPT I can't get the time capsule to connect to the internet.  For some reason whenever I want to access my pictures or the time capsule, I have to connect to the wireless network but if I want to connect to the internet I have to reconnect to my old wireless network.  I have tried everything but just can't get it to work correctly! The Time Capsule light has only ever flashed orange at me...

    time capsule should be in bridge mode and plugged into your main router so it is part of the existing network.
    Bridge on you Lion version is easy as you can still download and install a real utility.

  • Cannot connect to the internet through my Airport Card, while in Windows 7

    Alright, so I wasn't sure how best to give a topic heading for this, but i think thats the jist of it. Basically I have Windows 7 on  hard drive and am able to boot up my Macbook Pro (Early January 2011). Everything seems to run the right way, however I am unable to figure out what is causing the Windows 7 to either not recognize or not connect to my wireless network in my house. It is passworded and everything, however nothing I tried would work and allow access to the internet to my Windows 7.
    I've read over some things online, and tried to figure out if there was some driver or something that I was missing that needed to be there, however I couldn't seem to find any answer to the problem. When I go to configure the network connecting and such, I get a message saying that apparently the hardware or something is missing, however I am unsure how or where I can go to get the info or not.
    I'm guessing that using Bootcamp to install Windows 7 is probably the actual way I'm meant to do this, however I'm trying not to have to partition the computer, though I fear I may have to. Basically what I've done is booted up my computer from the Windows 7 install disc, and used it, like you would a Mac OS disc, to reformat my internal hard drive into working with Windows 7. This is probably an unorthodox method, but my dad had looked up that I couldn't install Windows 7 onto my external disk, and that this would be the alternative to have a more 'native' Windows running, rather than having to use Bootcamp.
    My questions to you guys out there, are:
    Should I reformat/reinstall Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, and simply use bootcamp and its utilities and such to run Windows 7 through my computer? OR is there something I'm missing that I needed to download to allow Windows 7 to recognize my Airport Card, or whatever is needed to access the Internet.

  • Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

    I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
    Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
    Thanks for you help!

    Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
    AppleTV only support compressed format.  Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
    There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable.  I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

  • HT1178 What the difference is between WPA and WPA2 and how are these settings affecting the access of other computers to the internet through my Time Capsule

    I have a Time Capsule of the 4th generation and I am pretty impressed since I just had a fried harddrive on my 3 month old Imac and Time Capsule restored it fully including all programs etc. without having me to put in all serial numbers etc. for that I give it an A+. However what I find very frustrating is the very short and incomplete user manual and setup instructions. I give those a D-. It does not explain the consequences of certain choices to a normel non computer gig user like me:
    I do not understand what the consequences and difference is between the security setting WPA/WPA2 and WPA2 when setting it up. It would be helpful if the manual would explain something like: If you set it onto WPA2 then computers older than XXX years will not able to hook up to the internet through your router...or the likes, since I slowly supect this may be the reason for some of my troubles.
    I also have a 5 year old PC with vista connected to the Time Capsule. It can wireless connect to the Time Capsule and access the printer (I have managed that after some painful hours...) but it cannot access the internet with that PC through the timecapsule wireless, only if I hook it up with a cable. Why? Does that have to do with the fact that I have set the TIme Capsule to WPA2?
    Our PS3 can connect wireless, no problem. However, I friend of mine tried it with a quite new Toshiba Notebook and he could see the Time Capsule but again it shows the line from the Time Capsule to the internet blocked. All other computers linked with data cable to the Time Capsule are connected to the internet no problem. What have we done wrong? Should I change the security setting to WPA/WPA2?
    I tried the latter, but then another problem does come up, which was there from beginning on: When I change the settings for my Time Capsule my Imac suddenly cannot find the Timne Capsule anymore, even so I am only 3feet away from it. When I set it up for the first time 3 month ago it drove me crazy. The very first time it found the Time Capsule right away. But when I discuverd a mistake in my initial setup and I went through the settings again to change stuff it suddenly could not find the Time Capsule anymore. Only after frustrating 20 times or so with turning wi-fi on and off several times inbetween did it suddenly find the Time Capsule in the set up menu. However, when I tried changing my security setting to WPA/WPA2 today to see whether this solves my other problems again it could not find the Time Capsule when I was finished with the settings and I had to give up/cancel. Why is that???
    I would really appreciate some help here. But please I am not a computer gig and normally always had assistance with these things. On the other hand I am not all stupid either (even so these manuals assuming we all grew up sleeping on a computer make me feel stupid).....
    Thank you all in advance

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • Why can't I no longer connect to the Internet via my AirPort Extreme Base?

    I suddenly can no longer connect to the Internet through my AirPort Extreme. Everything was fine until this morning. My Base Station is connected to a DSL modem and then my computer connects to the Internet wirelessly through the Base Station. The center light is on in the Base Station. The left light flickers telling me there is wireless activity. I can still access my printer through the Base Station. But the right light is no longer flickering. I have rebooted everything several times. Does anyone have insight into this problem. This is the second time this has happened. For over a month I could not access the Internet through the Base Station, and then suddenly and arbitrarily it started working again. This morning it just stopped again.

    I've had the same problem - mine started after I upgraded to 10.4.8 on my MacBook a week or so ago.
    I can see other networks around my home and when I travel, but can only connect via ethernet cable (and my ISP is comcast - I thought the upgrade was supposed to help make connecting with comcast better).
    My G3 has no problem connecting, so I don't think it's exactly a problem with my modem, or base station, or even comcast. I think it has something to do with my base station and upgrading to 10.4.8. Btw, dropping back to 10.4.6 hasn't helped.

  • Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

    Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

    The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
    There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

  • Cant connect my Sony Bravia to my mac.

    I'm having trouble connecting my sony bravia tv (KDL-32BX300) to my mac. I have tried pretty much everything and have used the cable on other tv's with my mac anyone have any idea what the problem is? My mac can't find the tv at all.
    Any help would be great

    According this: https://docs.sony.com/release/specs/KDL32BX300_mksp.pdf
    That Tv is not a full HD TV, only 720p and as such may not be able to support the Mac's full resolution.
    You may need to lower the resolution on the Mac to get it to work. According to the specs, this is its maximum resolution: 1366 X 768p
    Depending on which adapter you are using may also be hat resolution you get. HDMI outputs at 1080p by default which your TV cannot support.
