Can't get Mini and Powerbook to share connection

I have a Mini, running Leopard, and a Powerbook G4 running Tiger, and recently got high speed internet. I've never had high speed before, so I am REALLY new to this. I have modem that I plugged into my Airport Base Station and can get the signal on both computers, but they won't share the connection. What am I doing wrong? I've had other computers share the connection before, but these two won't... Help please!

Some more info may help....
-Did you use both computers with the Airport and a standard dialup internet acccess before?
-What other 2 computers shared before? Both wirelessly?
-Does 1 computer work?
-What kind of high speed do you have now, cable, DSL, etc? When it was installed, did you do it, or a technician? Was it proved to work on at least 1 computer?
-What modem are you plugging into the Airport?
-You say both computers get signal; is this just from observing the "fan" icon on the menu bar?
-When you say share, do you mean just both computers using the internet connection, or do you also mean file sharing between the 2 computers?
-Which model Airport base station do you have? How was it configured?
-Have you looked at the Network Preferences on the computers to see what the settings say?
Hopefully this is solvable with enough information.

  • How can I get Macs and PCs to share files on same network?

    I have a 2009 iMac running Mavericks and a Macbook Pro retina also on Mavericks.   I also have a desktop running Windows 7 Pro and a laptop on Windows 8.1.   I have a cable modem (Comcast) with multiple ethernet jacks and a WIFI modem.   The Macs see each other on the network but the PCs don't always see each other and do not see the Macs.   Can someone run me thru the basics on networking so I can share files?    Thank you.

    Arthur,
    Thanks for the link.   It is a good starting point.   Part of my problem is that I do not understand file sharing protocols on the PC side.   The Mac sharing "just works."   I keep getting issues with permissions, or, on some days,  the PC just does not show up on my finder.   Let me take a look at the link and try some things and I will report back.  

  • Can't get LR and PSE 11 to connect

    I use LR and have also been able to toggle between PSE and LR without issues.
         I installed PSE11 and went to the preferences in LR and choose PSE 11app to edit in.  In that preference box the pre-set:  shows Custom and below that is application:  PSE 11 app.  I closed out LR and PSE and then reopened both.  When I go to Photo.....Edit in....PSE 11 is appears to be exporting via the export line at the right top side of LR and PSE 11 opens but my photo is not there.  What did I do wrong.  If the just drag the photo into PSE in the dock it does open.  Thanks

    On a Mac make sure you are linking to the app in support files:

    Hi tristanbolo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPad mini powered off unexpectedly and will not power on, try these steps, which apply to the iPad mini as well:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • How can I get authentication and authorization through OS X open directory with the Sun ZFS STOR ZS3-2

    how can I get authentication and authorization through OS X open directory with the Sun ZFS STOR ZS3-2
    I have configure NFS, I need help configuring the share that I created in the Sun ZFS STOR ZS3-2 to connect with the OS X Open Directory

    Hi,
        You may  try checking the help page for ldap configuration :
    https://<Appliance_IP>:215/wiki/index.php/Configuration:Services:LDAP
    ZFS Storage supports LDAP, NIS, AD as directory service.
    Hope Open Directory is also based on LDAP and may work in similar fashion.
    Thanks

  • Can't get Dolby and DTS options to work

    Hi!
    Could anyone help me with my new Sound Blaster Z soundcard. I can't get Dolby and DTS options to work with my optical cabel under Cinematic tab in Pro Studio. I've googled enough, tried basically everything. Cinematic tab was never greyed out from the beginning. It either gave me intense, very high pitch noice when you acticated Dolby or DTS options or now... giving error which states:
    "The SPDIF-out (Sound Blaster Z) device is currently being used by another application. Please close any application that may be playing audio to this device and try again."
    I've re-installed drivers numerous times, tried different Windows operating system (7 and 8.1). Speakers (Sound Blaster Z) is made as default device, other stuff is disabled. I seriously don't know what to do, I'm god **** frustrated, because apart from Cinematic tab not working the sound isn't that great compared to my integrated motherboard soundchip.
    // If it matters my speakers are Edifier S530D

    Hi Kimbie,
    Are you able to play back mp3 audio tracks?
    I'm suspecting you are trying to play back encoded content.
    Do share more details here so that I can assist you further.
    Cheers,

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

  • How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

    Have you tried rebuilding preferences?
    Working in a new user account?
    Workspaces are saved in your local user folder. If workspaces are not saved, this could be problems with either Illustrators preferences in general or your user account.

    Hi Arjun,
    Are you looking for external authentication(External ID option) in HANA Studio instead of logging by entering HANA User and Pwd(which is internal)?
    You can look for the following Security guide which will give you some insight on this.

    Does anyone know why I can only get sound and no video with a compatible component cable?

    What apps are you trying?  TV out video only works with apps that support TV out.  If the app does not support TV out you will still get aoudio via the component cable
