MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
Cheers,
Vivek

Hi.
I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
Many Thanks.
My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

  • WiFi Internet Sharing Suddenly not Working

    I'm using a MacBook white early 2008 with Lion 10.7.5 installed on it
    I have been using internet sharing features to share internet from my ethernet to WiFi for several years, and it's working fine
    Suddenly today when i'm using iPhone, it stopped working.
    My iPhone can connect to the WiFi network, but it can't connect to the internet shared by the MacBook.
    What is the possible solution to this problem?
    Is it hardware related? Maybe because i use the Internet Sharing features too much?
    ps : When i'm using the WiFi to connect to another network, it works perfectly fine.

    FYI - I spoke to Apple support earlier and this is still not an acknowledged issue. Ergo, no one is looking into it.
    They have 'offered' to call me back when at home to go over my setup that was working fine in IOS5 but not IOS6 as the setup MUST be the issue. Not sure if I made things worse by pointing out that I'm and IT consultant and have worked with Apple systems for more years than I'd care to admit to.....
    The support tech I spoke said that her home sharing works fine. Hmmmmm.
    I'd suggest that EVERYONE puts in for a support callback (you can go through the iPad option and chose the 'I should get an exception for updating to ios6' option) and get them working.

  • Can't create airport/wifi internet-sharing network with other laptop

    I have an iBook running Tiger 10.4.11 connected to the net with ethernet. The internet connection comes through a radio antenna which acts like a router to which I don't have access.
    I want to share my internet connection, and to be able to transfer files, between the iBook and another laptop. I've tried it with two - one running Fedora 11 (mine) and one running Windows XP, and have the same problems with both.
    I turn wifi on on the ibook and linux laptop. I turn on internet sharing from built-in ethernet to airport in System Preferences. First I try it with no encryption. 'Other settings may interfere with internet sharing' shows up; it tells me to enable Personal Web Sharing, which I do. When I click start Little Snitch tells me natd wants to connect to 10.0.2.1 (presumably the router in the antenna), which I allow. I try to connect with the linux laptop and it tries then disconnects.
    1) isn't personal web sharing for serving web pages? — why is it necessary here at all?
    2) what am I doing wrong in making my network work?
    If I enable encryption using WEP, the other password asks me for authenticication, I put in the password, and it then tells me the network has been disconnected.
    3) is WEP the best encryption I can use from Tiger?
    4) I think the problem's with Tiger (both laptops can connect to other wifi networks not set up by me). Is there a piece of free software I can use to share the connection instead of the built-in one?
    I can't make a functional network in reverse either (i.e. setting it up on the other laptop and trying to connect wirelessly with the ibook).
    What I am trying to do is precisely this (http://my.safaribooksonline.com/0596009135/runmacx2-CHP-11-SECT-13) — it just doesn't work.

    When I click start Little Snitch tells me natd wants to connect to 10.0.2.1 (presumably the router in the antenna), which I allow. I try to connect with the linux laptop and it tries then disconnects.
    Back on that part, at that Point the Mac is a NATD Router, don't try to connect to the other computers.
    On the Mac, with Internet Sharing enabled, open NetInfo Manager in Applications>Utilities.
    From there on out, it's a bit foggy, but iirc Config>DHCP>Subnets><the subnet>, then down where it says com.apple.nat... what does it report for IPs?
    If it were say 10.43.29.1 then the others trying to join should have that as a Router/Gateway, and then 10.43.29.2, 10.43.29.3, etc. as IPs.
    Apple says you can't set it Manually, but I've had it work a couple of times.

  • I am unable to open my MacBook Air cause my password is not working

    I am attempting to log on to my MacBook Air.  My password, which I have been using since I purchased the computer, is not working.  How can I find out why this is happening?

    What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
    Tell us what network setup you are using..
    If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

  • I just got a new system for my Mac OS and the internet sharing is not working.

    The "Sharing" in the System Preferences looks way different and has screen charing, scanner sharing, remote login, remote management, remote apple events, and bluetooth sharing with checks near it. I once connected to my laptop, but it said something like an IP address needed to be verified. I then put in an address and they gave me one but it's still not working. Please help! How do I connect the internet?

    Your text is not clear: you wish to connect to the internet, and you cannot do that? or you want to share your internet connection, to be used by other computers, and you do not know how to do this?
    The title of your thread indicates the latter (this is the meaning of share), but your text rather indicates the former situation.
    In order to share net, you must first mac connected to the net up and running, but I understand you did not get to that point, right?
    Please be clear.

  • The internet sharing is not working on my iPhone.

    The internet sharing, from my iMac, is not working on my iPhone. It is connected at the beginning, but after a while (to be exact, 2 minutes!), the connection is lost. Can anyone helps me?
    Thanks.

    Try this one, it's really worked, http://www.appletips.nl/os-x-10-7-4-fix-voor-draadloos-netwerk-problemen-imac/ . I tried last night, and it's working. But you need to translate the page.

  • TS1388 Upgrade macbook air late 2008 to mavericks not working

    I have a late 2008 macbook air and im trying to install mavericks, when i press download and install on app store it says it cannot be installed on that macbook air. but according to the specs on the apple webpage its compatible with mavericks. im currently running snow leopard. I tried to make a bootable disk using disc utilities, everything is done correctly and i start up my macbook air holding option key and choose my bootable USB as startup disc, but i just get a circle with a line through almost like a prohibited sign. What must i do?

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher

  • Internet sharing suddenly not working, PC related problem

    Here's the scenario. My Mac-Mini, using 10.7.4, is sharing its Wi-fi connection to my airport extreme base station through a hard-wired ethernet connection with a PC. So the mac is tethered via ethernet cable to the PC, so it can share its wifi connection to my AEBN. This arrangement has been working fine for over a year now.
    Today I updated the PC's (running XP SP3)  browser from IE7 to IE8 so I could use some web based work related sites. But now I can't connect to the internet on the PC. The PC confirms it has a network connection, and it sending and receiving packets of data, but if you open a browser, any browser, it can't load or do any business whatsoever.
    What I've checked: Nothing on the mac's system prefs have changed. The mac works on the internet just fine. I've run through the PC's network connection wizzard 3 times already, no joy on the browser, but the Mac is capable of seeing shared files on the PC. The PC firewall is off. I don't know what to do or who to talk to. I realize this probably isn't the place to seek help as I think its a Windows XP issue but I'm a Mac user and the connection is shared (because the PC has no wifi card) so its in a gray area.

    Hey i also had this problem, i hard reset my device & it gone but soon came back the troubleshoot says DNS server isn't responding but i fix this by the help of my experience. It will also help U all. ••-:OLUTION::-••
    First connect your lumia 800 to your pc the pc will show no internet access but don't worry this all IS BECAUSE OF A SETTINGS FAULT IN THE WINDOWS .Fix :- open network & sharing centre right click ur device name (ssid) then click on properties(status) then a dialog box will open click on device properties open second tab in which select your
    security ->WPA2-Personal
    encryption type -> (don't change it)
    Pin -> (type your pin)
    Then press ok ,after this wait 1min if problem not solved reconnect your device.

  • Talk21 email not working on my Android phone

    For over a week now I've been unable to receive any of my talk21 emails on my Android (HTC Desire Z) phone. I can still send emails however. I have been into the Vodafone shop twice and they've tried everything they can think of and I've even done a factory reset (and lost all my apps) and it still isn't working. Vodafone says it must therefore be a problem with my email/BT and it is possibly because they are migrating their server, and they told me to ring BT and ask this question. After about ten minutes of being passed from pillar to post, I finally got someone who told me no, they are not migrating their servers, they do not know of any reason why I am having this problem, and they can try to fix it for a £30 fee. I don't think that's really fair!
    I have deleted and reactivated by email account on my phone several times, I definitely have the right POP/server/ login details etc but it just won't show any incoming emails. Is anyone else having a problem like this and does anyone know what I can do? Or does anyone have a phone number for BT where I won't go through to their standard call centre and waste 20 minutes trying to explain the problem to someone who doesn't seem to understand what I'm talking about?

    Yeah after I posted I found out that most of the carriers had outages starting yesterday afternoon. But it was resolved late last night and emails started sporadically coming in for people, then it started up normally again

  • Internet sharing from Wifi to Ethernet is not working after Mountain Lion upgrade

    First I was having trouble just connecting these two, now I can't get the Internet sharing to work. Here's what I am trying to do: I want to share my Macbook Pro's internet connection from it's Wifi to another laptop I have connected via ethernet cable. They will ping each other now. The problem now is that the laptop won't pick up the Internet connection from the Macbook Pro, even though I have it configured exactly as I had in Snow Leopard. Nothing has changed on the laptop from before when it worked fine with Snow Leopard. But now that I updated to Mountain Lion, Internet sharing no longer works no matter what I try. I've been trying to find a solution by to no avail. Could anyone here offering some advice or a solution that will fix my problem? I've been over the basic steps over and over again, so please don't ask me to do something stupid like reboot or check the Sharing settings. They're exactly how they are meant to be, but the thing just won't work.

    Ran a TCPdump on my Macbook Pro. It is recieving the ping requests, but the laptop still isn't getting replies to its pings. So something is wrong in the Macbook's configuration somewhere. I don't know where, though.

  • Internet connection does not work when Macbook wakes up from sleep

    I recently installed MAC OSX LION. After that whenever the macbook pro wakes up from sleep, the internet connection does not work. I get a message 'DNS lookup failed'. I have to Turn off the WIFI and turn it back on every time. Has anyone come across this?

    Same problem here. But I am afraid it has nothing to do with Safari because I don't even have Safari open. When it wakes from sleep, it has no internet connection and i cannot get me mail unless I shut wifi off and then back on. This happened back at the start of Snow Leopard too and it was something Apple eventually fixed.
