10.3 PB wireless sharing internet to 10.4 MB Pro not working

Hi, I want to set up an ad-hoc network and share wireless internet connection from my XP PC, to 10.3.9 PowerBook (cable), to my wife's new MacBook Pro (wireless). Of course, the PB's Ethernet-to-AirPort sharing is active in the preferences.
What DOES work:
1. MB Pro does connect to the PB properly, AppleTalk works fine
2. MB Pro does receive a DHCP address, as far as I can see in the network preferences
What DOESN'T work:
Neither the browsers nor Mail can "see" the internet.
TRIED both creating network and sharing connection w/ password. MB Pro said the connection was working well. What tools should I use to eliminate the problems? I thought the sharing thing would be very, very simple to do, I've never had such issues with PC-to-Mac sharing.
Thanks in advance!
PowerBook G4 1.25 + MacBook Pro 2.16 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Why not buy an inexpensive wireless router that would provide the wireless or wired signals to your network...? Often available at major electronics retailers for under US$40
In your pt#2, please share at least the first three sets of digits in her IP address
(like: 192.168.0.xx)

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
if you have one already you can rename either one ..
and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

I currently have a WPN824 v3 Netgear router and I’m trying to set up my Apple TV. I am able to connect it to my wireless network but my airplay feature is currently not working. The icon does not appear on any of my devices. My ipad and ipones all are currently up to date and are all joined to the same network. Is it the way that my router is configured. Please help let me know what I need to change in my router settings or does my router not work with Airplay. Or is there a simple fix.

you don't mention which products you use
only ipad2 and up support mirror
and only iphone4s and up support mirror
other devices only use airplay for apps which support tvout options

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
Hi,
This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
I have also tried to disable "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
detect settings".
This has no affect.
Thanks,

File & folder sharing with privileges on my network does not work. What is wrong?

My Timecapsule is creating a network between my iMac with OS 10.7.5 and my Macbook Pro Retina OS 10.9.2. I am trying to setup a folder on my iMac with controlled access privileges to work as a server for others using the Macbook as a client. I followed different tutorials to the letter, but it did not work, I could not get the connection. Then I called the Apple help line. It turns out that just setting it up with a 'sharing only' account etc. in 'sharing ' in the 'system preferences' is not enough. One also has to set up the same priviliges in the 'get info' window of the folder directly at the same time...so a double setup. They could not explain properly why and there is no mention of this whatsoever in any tutorial I found on the internet. Anyway, I tried that and it still did not work. When I add the user in the 'get info' window and press enter, suddenly the user does not show up in the privilege box with the user name but instead a line saying something like "searching for user" and something small dudeling next to it......I called Apple again. After two agonizing hours on the phone where I was treated like an imbecile it turns out one has to somehow go through the address book ??? Why, I have no clue and how, I do not remember, but suddenly it worked.
Anyway, now two month later I had to add a new user account to my Macbook and I need to give it access to my server folder on my iMac. Well same problem again. I cannot remeber what we did 2 month ago an cannot call Apple, because my service period has expired. I tried myself and got the dudle in the folders 'get info' window again. Then by mistake I deleted myself as the only administrator account on the Imac from the access privileges to that shaered server folder. When I tried to put my account back into the folders privilege settings I got the same message and the dudeling thingy there too. Frustrated I thought it is best to just re-start the computer.......that was the end of it all: Now the startup window does not show my account name and icon anymore, just two lines to fill in the account name and password. The upper line has an arrow pointing left, the lower for the password an arrow pointing right. I filled in the account name and the password....the dudle circle comes and nothing happens, it seems to crash. When I click on the arrows the sign-in lines disappear, only the three buttons for going to sleep, re-start and turn off at the bottom are the only items left on the screen. I tried 10 times to no avail. This is turning into a nightmare!! My account is the only user account on this iMac.......
What am I doing wrong? Or what is wrong with my iMac?
Why is there nothing mentioned about these issues in the tutorials or anywhere else? Why do the tutorials say it is so easy, when even the staff on Apple's helpline cannot figure it out without having lengthy side conferences with their co-workers and managers???
Does anybody know what I have to do again with the address book to add this external 'sharing only' user account to the folder's privilege settings?
I assumme I have to re-boot my computer tomorrow and restore it from the Time Capsule. How do I do that? I cannot log in????
With the setup I had working for the last two month there were still issues with acces conflict to new subfolders and files inside the shared folder between me and the Macbook account user. I have read that the solution is to create a group and give the group access privileges to the folder. However, I could not find any details on the exact steps to follow. I need the exact steps, otherwise this will turn into the next nightmare. Where can I find this info.
I would really appreciate your help with answers and solutions to these complex issues
Thank you

Internet Explorer 11 "Enterprise Mode" do not work or do not work correctly!

Dear community,
Since yesterday we test the Feature "Enterprise Mode" for "Internet Explorer 11". However, we have many problems
with this Feature. We have configured it as described by officially instruction by MS, but it does not work
properly. Here is what we have done exactly to test this Feature:
In Registry Key " HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ Enterprise Mode " we have created the Entry " Site List " and create the string " Enable" . In the
String "Enable" we have added no value .
In Case of String "Site List" , we have specified the path to the XML file , as value of this String.
The XML file was created with the Site List Manager from Microsoft
And now, we regocnized following Problems:
The "Enterprise Mode" ist only "active", if the User(!) check "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools"...!
The site list is seemingly ignored, although in the Registry "currentversion" is pulled correctly, everytime we change
the XML File. So we think "SiteList" is configured well.
On one of our test computer freezes Internet Explorer 11 , if you try to hook the corporate mode
In Summary, it seems to be configured properly but it even do not work or not work correctly.
Our goal would be:
Enterprise Mode + access to the Site List by IE11 should be "on" by Default!
Entrys of sitelist.XML should be filtered and shown in "Enterprise Mode" or/and the right "DocMode", as configured.
The user should have no chance to check on or off the"enterprise mode"
We use "Windows 7" on all our Clients, as test Clients are also running the same operating System...
Please reply
Thank you very much
Greetings!
Ps: Please do not be angry if pronunciation or grammar do not fit well. English is not my nature language (my nature language is german)

Hi，
According to your description, seems the end-users can manually turn on\off the enterprise mode, If you don''t want this, you can disable the option.
Computer(User) Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer\Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu option
Disable this option, user will not have "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools", after that, please run gpupdate /force to update the policy, and get "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list" applied again in the target system.
After that, the enterprise mode website list get applied again, and user don't have an option to disable it.

iphoto 9.6 on yosemite is deleting all of the pics from the former library, iphoto 9.6 can't share with Facebook despite that it is oke with the account. no sharing with iMessage and no sharing with iCloud possible the choices stay grey. also print orders are not possible it's stay also grey.

What ist the solution?
Did you read the thread?
here is one
I had the same issue, email, iMessage, Facebook,etc.. plus print all greyed out. I went up to the File menu, clicked on the Switch to Library drop down. Since I only have one library it was already selected, hit choose and all of the functions work again. Seems the system wasn't acknowledging my original library once I updated to Yosemite or 9.6. Either way, it works now.
If that does not work here is another suggestion
Try repair permissions with Disk Utility.

My internet browser on Curve 9360 is not working anymore

Hello guys! This just happened today, my BB turned off itself and then when i turned on the browser was different (it doesnt show my favorites or my home page. Just shows a not-working browser and the rest is blank.) any search i make doesnt works so please help me Pd: i cant even open my emails or facebook notifications on the messages thing. Also i cant close the internet browser with the "back" button.

Have you done a battery pull yet? I'd try that first.
If that didn't work, you can go to options, Device, Advanced system settings, open the Host routing table, hit the menu key and choose register now.
If that doesn't work, call your carrier and ask them to resend your service books.

Internet Connection through 90% of applications NOT working :(

So recently alot of my internet applications have stopped working. I use airport. My internet is connected to my computer and I know this because firefox, ventrilo, and video games such as warcraft 3 work using internet connection and my network preferences says that I have an IP and full bars. So the internet applications that don't work are safari, itunes store, my sophos updates, my software update (I am missing like 6 months worth of updates), etc. When I try to use the internet with these applications it will just say to check my internet connection or that I am not connected to the internet. I thought maybe it was a virus even though I have not known anyone I know that has a mac to ever have had a virus yet. So I went out and bought norton anti-virus and it scanned my computer and found zero viruses. So my question is, does anyone know what is wrong with my computer or how on earth I can fix it? I don't know how to wipe the harddrive so if that's what needs to be done please instruct me to a page that shows me how or just tell me. Also my macbook is about 4 years old and the version, I believe, is 10.5.6? Sorry, I'm not on my macbook right now so I'm not exactly sure as to the current version but it should be around there. Thanks in advance for any help you guys offer!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
Sorry to tell you this but Norton anti virus software can actualy damage a hard drive.
Read the second post here by: "Klaus"1
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10399395&#10399395
There are no Mac viruses in the wild... it's not a virus.
Before you erase the hard disk and reinstall the Mac OS X, run Disk Utility from your install disk.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If the hard disk appears to be ok and there's plenty of free disk space then do the Erase and Install, instructions here...

Make sure and back up all important data BEFORE doing this.
If you are running Leopard, the most recent version is 10.5.8.

Home sharing between windows 7 laptop and iPad not working

I have looked everywhere for an answer but haven't been able to come up with a solution yet.
So my problem is that I had to get my Samsung laptop (Win7) rebooted after a virus. Before doing so, I connected by iPad by USB to transfer my music. I couldn't use home sharing because my Win7 laptop was infected with a virus that wouldn't let me access the internet.
After the reboot, I connected home sharing to try and retrieve my music on my main computer.
I am very familiar with home sharing and have used it previously with other computers.
My iPad recognizes my laptop and I am able to access the library through my iPad; but on my laptop, the ipad doesn't show up on home sharing.
I cannot transfer back my music via USB either, it treats it like an iPod and won't let me put it back.
I have restarted EVERYTHING, restarted both devices, and relogged in - and no luck.
My laptop is my main computer and I'm dying to get my music back on it!
Does anyone have any solution to this problem?
Especially if I don't have to download something

Internet radio from Apple TV suddenly not working!!! Please help!

I used to be able to put internet radio stations in a playlist and sync to ATV, and they would show up on the ATV and I could select and listen to them! From what I've read on some other forums, after version 2.02 came out, you could even do that and not have your computer on and itunes open, and could still access and listen to the radio stations on ATV! Which is great!
I hadn't tried this in a while and decided to get the 2.02 update and try. Now, when I select the playlist with the radio stations in it (on ATV) I get a message - "contains no songs"!!
Does anybody know what is going on with this feature? It seems to work for some people but not others! Some think that it stopped working for people with itunes 7.6.1 and higher!! (I have 7.6.2 and OSX 10.4.11)
Just when I had a plan on really taking advantage of this feature, it stopped working!
Can anybody help with this topic? Do people from Apple read and answer these posts?
Thanks,
SB

Wow! That surprised me! I had already tried something very similar to that, and it didn't work!
What you said works! Thanks so much!
And in addition, playing the internet radio from my ATV (rather than from computer & thru airtunes) seems to work better! Before, (using airtunes), some stations would cut out / skip etc... and it doesn't seem to happen now! And I can now, not even have my computer on!
My understanding is that if I ever turn off the ATV, I'll have to do the procedure that you said again correct?
Thanks so much again!
It would be nice if Apple could now have the details / info that shows up in itunes when you play a internet radio station (song info etc...) show up on the screen on ATV - right?!!!
(for me, right now - just says: "Proton Radio - unknown album")

Sharing itunes purchases between two authorized computers not working

hello,
i currently own two apple laptops and want to be able to play my music that i purchased on one, on the other, as well. i have followed the instructions in other posts that tell me to 1, authorize the new computer, which i have done, and 2, if that works to go into a folder on my drive and delete it out to start fresh, which i have done, as well. however, when i click on the purchased songs, it is still telling me i need to authorize my computer. the computer, as i said, is already authorized.
can anyone help with this?

I'm not sure I understand your second step. Couldn't you use the Home Sharing feature in iTunes 9 to accomplish this, as long as it's enabled for each? Both computers should be authorized with the same iTunes Store account, as you've done.
