Add password to Internet Sharing in OSX Lion

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this discussion thread.
The thread concerns Internet Sharing in OSX Lion.
Prior to Lion, you were able to add a password, so that for example, if you are sharing the Internet from your Mac to the Ipad, a dialog box would be displayed on your Ipad where you could input the your password. This made both the Internet connection between your Mac and the Ipad secure.
Is there a way to do this in OSX Lion?
I realise that there is a password dialog under the Wi-fi option, but this asks for ASCII and HEX password. I have tried to input my previous password in the dialog, but it will not accept it.
Thank you for your time

I had the same problem, and I think I have fixed it. What was happening for me was everything was running just fine until I had to restart my Mac for whatever reason and then my iPad and iPhone both stopped being able to connect to the Internet although they were connected to the shared network I had created.
To get it working again all I had to do was go into General settings on the iThings and go to reset and select 'Reset Network Settings' (The downside of this, of course, is that it will forget all your other passwords.) and then I was able to reconnect.
I also discovered in the Keychain Access on the Mac that there were several versions of the Internet Sharing password stored in there from when I had messed about changing the network name and such like, so I deleted all of those and set a new password for the network.
Hope this is of some use to you.

Will Mountain Lion fix the major Internet Sharing bug in Lion?

Does anyone know if Apple have indicated that they will be issuing a fix to the Internet Sharing bug in Lion (i.e. Internet Sharing does not work) in the new Mountain Lion?

Hmmm. Pete, suggest cease dissing people's problem with VNC in Mt Lion as "doesn't exist here" syndrome. Maybe for you, it's working just fine....for some of us...NOT.
Following several threads on issues with VNC and Lion and the vague hope that Mt Lion would fix the problem, I also upgraded to Mt Lion. Worse.
Prior to Lion, VNC worked every time with any Mac I tried, inside or outside the local network. With Lion, VNC worked correctly until around 10.7.4, then with intermittent connections (requiring restarts on the target Mac in order to connect a second time).
Now, with Mt Lion (target Mac is still on Lion and restarted), I cannot connect externally to the Lion Mac even with it being restarted (and Screen Sharing and Remote Management turned off/on as one thread suggested).
As another thread suggested, I had deleted the iCloud System Pref on both Macs while on Lion (with no effect to VNC).
While I'm sure there's a solution out there, I have yet to find it.
Thanks for any suggestions, but will someone at Apple please address this issue?

Ebay-password Recovery Disc for Mac OSX Lion

Dear Apple Support Communities: recently on ebay, I have seen several sellers selling a Password Recovery Disc for Mac OSX Lion. This Password Recovery disc claims to be able to reset Lion's password of any user account WITHOUT knowing the old password! Is this possible? This is scary! If so, is there a way to prevent someone from using this disc to reset someone's password without them knowing it? If you want to see for yourself: go to ebay and enter item # 251037274344 for example. There are other sellers also. Thanks.

Anyone can do this from the terminal without even a CD, so no it's not very scary.
If they advertised that they could get into file vault, or the keychain, then that would be another story altogether.

Internet sharing from mountain lion to tiger over firewire

Hi, I have just purchased an imac g4 from ebay and am having trouble getting it to connect to the internet.
My internet connection comes from teathering my iphone over wifi to my MBP. I have been trying to share this connection from my macbook to my imac over firewire but haven't had any luck.
I've tried connecting direct to my phone over wifi but I don't get an ip address, the same happens when I share the connection from my laptops wi-fi.
I have connected to a hotspot with the imac so i know that the wi-fi works and i can get a connection over firewire that says "You are connected to the internet via built in firewire" but when i try and load a webpage i cannot load anything.
When connected via firewire my macbook shows up in the network tab of the finder, my shared itunes library shows up and my laptop comes up in the list of devices in my VNC but when i try to use these connections it always fails, i cannot even get a ping responce from my laptop.
Im not sure if it is a compatibility issue with M lion and tiger, an IP address issue or something els entirely.
All help would be greatly appriciated
Thanks in advanced
Jake

If you use your MacBook Pro as the "server" connected to the Internet. you can connect 27" 2011 iMac to your MacBook Pro via a FireWire 800 cable. (assuming your MBP has a FireWire output, I don't own one).By using Target Disk Mode (Hold down the "T" key until you see "spinning gears" on Restart or Start-up).
Your MBP will appear as a Hard Disk on your 27" display or your 27" iMac can be displayed as a Hard disc on your MBP display.
Switch the firewall off on both machines (if it was on) to see if it helps;
Try to connect using a different device to the shared connection (another computer, smartphone, iPad, etc.);
Use an open connection first (no password), before trying with WEP;
Reverse the roles of the two computers (i.e. try sharing the connection from the MBP to the iMac).
Also, more details might help (OS X version on the machines, whether you are trying to share a wired connection, installed software which might interact with the network connections, etc.)
Hope this helps in some way.

HELP! Internet Issue iMac OSX Lion!?

Today I turn my computer on (27 inch iMac 3.0ghz intel core 2 duo) and it won't connect to the internet. When I open airport utility and network diagnostics it tells me I'm successfully connected to my router (which is an airport extreme) and that there is no problem with my internet connection. Yet when I open safari or chrome or try to upload a youtube video it 100% won't connect to the internet. I know it is not my router because I have 2 other laptops tablets and iphones that are currently connected perfectly. Just my iMac won't connect, the only thing that tells me it's not a dead airport card is that it recognizes the router and my neighbors different routers just when connected to my network I can't do anything. Any help would be great, somehow to reset that hardware or something I don't know. Thanks!!!

OSX 10.6.8 and Internet Sharing to Ethernet

I am trying to set up Internet Sharing so that I can connect my old MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 via ethernet to another device - I'm trying with xbox360 and Sony Blu Ray (BPD-S185) (for diversity of devices - I used to have it working on my xbox, but really want it working with the blu ray player but the network status feedback is better for problem solving on the xbox!).
I have my MBP connected to my home network over Airport which has the following details:
- IP: 192.168.1.5
- Router IP: 192.168.1.1
I have then enabled Internet Sharing through System Preferences to share my Airport connection to my Ethernet connection.
I have the following Ethernet settings:
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP with manual address
- (Ethernet) IP address: 192.168.2.1
- Subnet Mask: (blank - not user accessable, changes to 255.255.255.0 when xbox turned on)
- Router: (blank - not user accessable)
- DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
- Search Domains: (left blank)
On the xbox I've set the network settings to:
- IP: 192.168.2.2
- Subnet: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.2.1
- Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1
- Secondary DNS: 192.168.2.1
When I then select 'Test my Xbox Live Connection' it takes a while, the Network status shows 'Connected', however The Internet Failed. I am informed that the 'Test Failed' and 'more information' tells me I have an 'Internet Error' with the following Status codes:
W: 0000-000B
X: 0000-000D
Y: 0000-0000
Z: 0000-0000
ID0004-000
L: 0015-10F1
Q: 8007-0435
T: Wired
A: 192.168.2.2/255.255.255.0
G: 192.168.2.1
D: 192.168.1.1/192.168.2.1
So, it looks as though the problem lies with the MBP and internet sharing on OSX. I have extra suspicions that this is the problem, as connecting my Blu Ray player to my MBP via ethernet I also get a successful connection to the network, but no internet access.
Pleeeeease can someone help?!?! This is driving me nuts - a couple of years ago I had internet sharing working to let my xbox connect to the internet, so what's happened in the last few years to mean this won't work?

If you want to back it up there, use the Disk Utility to create a disk image of it.
If you want to import its contents to iMovie, iTunes, or elsewhere, use MPEG Streamclip and Apple's MPEG-2 playback component to convert the VOB files on it to a different format.

Resetting a firmware password when never put a firmware password on Macboo Pro OSX Lion

I have never put a firmware password on my Macbook Pro OSX Lion (2012). But now when I am trying to reset it, its asking for a password how can I reset this or remove it.

Hi macbookprowilliam, I have the SAME problem, that grey lock just appeared trolling me. I dunno the password and I wan't to sell this macbook! I need the password. Maybe it's a new malware! I don't even know how to set a firmware password and I am the only user on this computer too! I have a thread about that too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3926399?start=0&tstart=0
So, did you fix it or got around it? Please reply! I am desperate.
Thank you

Can't connect to internet sharing

Ever since updating to Mountain Lion on my iMac, I can't connect to internet sharing with my iPad 3. Does anyone know how to get it to work? I just get the message 'Unable to join the network 'xxxx'.
I've tried setting up new networks, I've tried it with and without passwords, restarted both machines, and it still won't work.
However, my iphone4 connects OK. Anyone else having this issue with the iPad 3?
Thanks
Bob

It's so simple to setup and you have been using it in the past, but just in case, this is Apple' kb article about Internet sharing with Mountain Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740?viewlocale=en_US
Have you rebooted your router or cable modem? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and plug it in again.
You might be better off posting in the Mountain Lion forum if you haven't already done so.

Not able to use internet sharing on my iMac 8.1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8

Im not able to use internet sharing on my iMac 8.1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8, I tried internet sharing with OS Lion and it works fine. Has anybody else experience this problem and what was the solutions.

If your OS is OS X 10.4.11 then you should be able to install iTunes 8.1 which according to the iTunes page requires 10.4.10 or later (which is a lower version than yours). It also requires QuickTime 7.5.5 so check your version of QuickTime. Version 10.4 is Tiger by the way. Leopard is 10.5 and Panther was 10.3.
Make sure that your OS is at the version you think it is. Connect your MacBook to the internet and from your desktop go to the Apple symbol on the Finder bar at the top of your screen. Choose "About This Mac" and check your OS version. Also from the same menu choose Software Update and see if you are offered any updates for your computer. If it does offer an OS X update, install it and anything else in the list then run software update again to see if any more components are offered for the new version.

Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G?

I am trying to connect a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet to the Internet via Internet Sharing. The N810 only supports B and G mode WIFI. I can't get a connection. Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G? Do I have to configure for this?
Thanks

I am trying to connect a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet to the Internet via Internet Sharing. The N810 only supports B and G mode WIFI. I can't get a connection. Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G?
Yes.
I've used my 802.11b/g/n capable MacBook to share an ethernet connection with my 802.11g ONLY iPod Touch.
Does the N810 see the network?
Does any other WiFi capable device in your home see the Internet Sharing SSID?
Did you give your Internet Sharing a password? Internet Sharing uses WEP for encryption, and the rules for creating the WEP Hex key from a text string password are different for Macs vs everyother WiFi device in the world. 1st try no password. If that works, then move on to using a simple 5 character password for 40/64 bit WEP, or a 13 simple password for 104/128 bit WEP.

Internet sharing via dongle, how to set password for wifi network created?

I am using a USB dongle with my Mac book Pro to share internet through AirPort, so that i can access my mac book's wifi from my iphone. This works great, but it is an open network and I woud like to set up a password.
If anyone can point me in the direction I would be very grateful!
Thanks

If you are using OS X's Internet Sharing feature, then you can configure wireless security on your Mac's internal AirPort Card but are limited by the OS X version that you are using. It was not until Mountain Lion that Apple provided WPA2 security. Prior to this only WEP was available.
You configure Internet Sharing via System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing. (I don't have 10.6.x on any of my Macs so this may be different for your case.) Once you configure what is shared, you can then add wireless encryption.

Advanced: differences in Lion internet sharing bootpd.plist?

Hi all,
I'm afraid this question is quite specific. I'm trying to get my Kindle set up using internet sharing over wifi from my macbook. I've read on these forums that to do this requires changing a tag in the bootpd.plist file created by internet sharing. This tag that needs to be edited is "reply_threshold_seconds" (the problem is that the kindle aways uses 0 in the "number of seconds since boot" field of the dhcp request packet, and the mac has a filter of 4).
I'm running Lion and in my bootpd,plist file this tag does not exist. I even tried adding it to the file with no result. I wondered if anyone could confirm whether the way OSX handles this has indeed changed with Lion; and if so it would be amazing if anyone had any advice?
Thanks a lot,
Roland

If you use your MacBook Pro as the "server" connected to the Internet. you can connect 27" 2011 iMac to your MacBook Pro via a FireWire 800 cable. (assuming your MBP has a FireWire output, I don't own one).By using Target Disk Mode (Hold down the "T" key until you see "spinning gears" on Restart or Start-up).
Your MBP will appear as a Hard Disk on your 27" display or your 27" iMac can be displayed as a Hard disc on your MBP display.
Switch the firewall off on both machines (if it was on) to see if it helps;
Try to connect using a different device to the shared connection (another computer, smartphone, iPad, etc.);
Use an open connection first (no password), before trying with WEP;
Reverse the roles of the two computers (i.e. try sharing the connection from the MBP to the iMac).
Also, more details might help (OS X version on the machines, whether you are trying to share a wired connection, installed software which might interact with the network connections, etc.)
Hope this helps in some way.

Can't add bluetooth pan device in Osx Lion

I'm trying to share my wifi connection using bluetooth on Lion.
The advanced option in the bluetooth settings to share your internet connection is gone (was there in Snow Leopard).
That's why I manually want to add a Bluetooth Pan device so I can enable internet sharing. But there is only a Bluetooth DUN device available.
Is Pan support removed from Lion or is there a way to add the pan device using the terminal (ifconfig?)

Looks I'm a bit closer, but not there yet either.
In my Sharing preferences, under 'Share your connection from' I find the options: Wifi, Bluetooth DUN and Bluetooth PAN (and some other not related)
Under 'To computers using' I have the option 'Bluetooth PAN'
This was available since updating to Lion, so I didn't add any of those afterwards.
Since I'm on a wife hotel connection with my MBP (Lion) I selected Wifi for the incoming and Bluetooth PAN for the sharing towards my iPad.
Paired my iPad with the MBP, but still can't access internet on the iPad.
Not sure if it is related, but in Bluetooth preferences, when selecting my iPhone 3GS, under services appears: PAN Network Access Profile; this service doesn't appear when selecting my iPad
And under Network preferences, when selecting Bluetooth PAN, the only device I can select is my iphone, not my ipad;
Would it be the PAN Network Access Profile that is missing on my iPad; anyone knows how I would get it on there?

Internet Sharing invalid password

I have a macbook Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and an iphone 4S with 6.1.2.
Months ago I went to System Preferences > Internet Sharing > WiFi and i was able to connect my iphone to the wifi created by my macbook by Ethernet. Now, the automatic channel and also the options of the password security have disappeared being 'WPA2 Personal' the unique option. So, i write my password in macbook, able the sharing conexion (green arrow icon on the top of the macbook, so it works) and then I try to connect in my iphone and everything is ok 'till I write the password. It basically says that the password is incorrect so I can't set a password for my WiFi, which *****. I tried with non-security and the WiFi works.
So, [b]what's the problem? Why my iphone says that the password is invalid? Is it a bug?[/b]
Thank you so much

So now i have a problem getting it actually to work.
I plug the ethernet cord to my powerbook. Chose to share the ethernet connection through Airport.
My HP computer finds the network and can connect. It can also ping my powerbook (192.168.0.100) my router (192.168.0.1) and sites on the internet (www.kth.se) but i can't get any application (explorer, skype, messenger) to connect to the internet. I can also ping 10.0.2.1
I note that running a ipconfig on the pc returns an IP-address of 10.0.2.3 and a standard gateway of 10.0.2.1.
If I use the network utility on my mac I see that the IP-address is 10.0.2.1 for the "en1" (airport)
Why does my mac invent its own IP-address? If i try to set it to 192.168.0.2 I cannot see these changes taking place in the network utility., it's still 10.0.2.1
Any advice how to share my connection?
