Can't share hotel internet connection

I can only connect to the hotel internet when I have the Airport Express connection sharing setting in 'Off (Bridge Mode)'. In this mode my iPod Touch can see the network and connect but requires its own daily payment for internet. Needless to say I'd like to share, and only pay for, a single connection.
If I put the Airport Express in 'Share a public IP address' mode neither device can connect to the internet.
Any suggestions?

Hello Peter Goudron. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It appears that the hotel is providing it's own router for Internet service, which is typical. When configuring the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, you are "passing thru" the hotel's NAT & DHCP service to any wireless device connected to the AX. Also, typical, is that the hotel will require a connection charge for each device that is accessing their network.
Re-configuring the AX to be a stand-alone router should work as the hotel's router would only provide (and see) one IP address. I'm not sure why this isn't working for you ...

  • Can I share my internet connection from macbook pro to macbook air?

    Hello.
    I've tried to share my internet connection using wifi, two computers were connected with each other, but one had not internet connection. What can I do to fix it, and have internet access on both computers?

    It's actually even easier than that....

  • Can I share my internet connection via wifi AND use my wireless printer at the same time?

    Not completely familiar with  wifi capabilities. I have this new setup in my office. I want to share my iMac internet connection via wifi so I can text and check emails using my iPhone (no cell service inside the building). Which works fine. However, I now cannot print wirelessly to my HP printer (LaserJet Pro 400 color). Once Internet sharing is off, I can print just fine. Any other wireless options, or just go get a long USB cable?

    Hi,
    It is not a multitasking printer, other devices may keep it therefore the best option in this case: connect it to your wireless router and all devices which are conntected to this router can sahre the printer.

  • How can i share my internet connection

    I'm having problems sharing my internet connection wirelessly (from my netgear router) with my TV via the AX.
    I've managed to setup the Airtunes - streamling nicely through the house.
    But under the internet options, sharing and the bridge option are disabled (greyed out).
    Please advise. Many thanks.

    To enable the AXn's Ethernet port, it would need to be reconfigured as an Ethernet bridge. Apple calls this configuration a ProxySTA.
    To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility. The feature should work with any wireless network: a, b, g, or n; and 5GHz or 2.4GHz.

  • Can't share my Internet connection - Can't create Wifi network

    Hi!
    I'm struggling to get my Mac Mini A1176 with 10.7 to create a Wifi hotspot. When I try, either through Internet Sharing or by manually choosing create network, it says "can't connect", and fails to create the hotspot.
    The only strange thing I can find, is that when I get the screen where I can choose network name, channel and security, channel is blank. I can't choose channel, the only option is the sign: -
    Anyone else seen this? Doesn't the A1176 support Adhoc networks?

    It's actually even easier than that....

  • How can i share my internet connection from macbook pro to my iphone?

    i need your help..

    On your MBP, from the Apple menu, select System Preferences, click the Sharing icon, and then click Internet Sharing. Select the way your computer is connected to the Internet under "Share your connection from" (ethernet probably), In the "To computers using", select the WiFi check box.
    Click the WiFi Options button and assign your new network a name. Turn on encryption if you like, enter a password, and click OK.
    Back in the Sharing pane, click the Start button in the Internet Sharing section.
    (to turn sharing off, go to the same place and click stop.)
    On your iPhone, turn on WiFi under Settings > WiFi
    Your iPhone serches for WiFi networks and yours should pop up with the name you gave it. If you turned on encryption (which you should to protect your data) enter the password and click Join.

  • Can Airport Express share an Internet connection via Thunderbolt Ethernet

    An increasing number of hotels are now charging for every device that you use to connect to the Internet. I am travelling to India next week for work and the hotel I am staying at has this policy. I have not discovered a way of sharing a Wifi account between several devices. I travel with an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air.
    What if I connect my MacBook Air via wireless. Can I share my Internet connection (Internet Sharing in Sharing) by connecting an Airport Express to the ethernet port (thuderbolt ethernet) and create a wireless network that way? If possible, what configuration would I need on the AEX, wold it be bridge mode?

    This is why I travel with 2 AirPort Express devices.
    For hotels with wireless only....one Express is configured to "join" the hotel wireless network and it provides an Ethernet signal to the second Express which is configured to "create" a wireless network for multiple devices.
    The hotel network only "sees" one device....the AirPort Express that is joining....so I'm only charged for one device, but can connect multiple devices if I want.
    If the hotel has an Ethernet jack, you only need one Express..the one configured to 'create" a wireless network. Again, the hotel only "sees" one device....because I do not use Bridge Mode.....but I can connect as many wireless devices as I want.
    Both methods work about 95% of the time at "unknown" hotels. Generally, I stay at "known" hotels where I know that things will work.

    If not why option available
    Thanks!

    What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
    Best of luck.

  • Can I share my internet with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely connect speakers?

    Can I share my internet from my Imac with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely to connect speakers?
    The big problem that I'm having is that when internet sharing via the airport I can not simultaneously connect with my airport express.  It would be great to be able to share internet from my Imac so I can be using my Ipad and at the sametime have my wife use the airport express to stream music in a different room. It would be awesome to be able to have the ability to do both. Does anybody know how?

    Unless your iMac was made before 2006 (this forum is for old iMacs), you might get better assistance by posting in one of the following forum areas:

  • If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth.  Might be worth a try that way.
    However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.

  • How can I share the internet without any network distribution?

    I am facing a problem of internet sharing.
    I would like to share my connection from ethernet to airport,
    however, when I chose the "internet sharing" box, safari failed to connect to the internet.
    After removing the tick of the box, web browsing became normal again.
    how can I share the internet without any network distribution?
    thanks!

    You'd have to select in Sharing Preferences > Internet Sharing > Share your connection from ETHERNET, and to computers using AIRPORT.

  • How can I share my Internet from my iPhone to Airport express network?

    How can I share my Internet from my iPhone to Airport express network?

    YES you can! - Gotta love those "you can't" answers from people who haven't even tried. ;o)
    Just have your Airport Express "Join" your iPhone. It will share your Internet connection through its Ethernet port. I currently have an AppleTV connected via Ethernet to the Airport Express. With this setup I have wireless Ethernet AND wired LAN connection. I can even AirPlay to the AppleTV and have Internet at the same time. Haven't tried a switch/hub but see no reason why it wouldn't work. This proves to be very useful to create a wired network with Internet from a cellular device without Ethernet.

  • How can I share my Internet with my other devices

    I have been assigned a temporary home for the next few months. The only Internet available is via a USB Dongle. The family uses iPads for their daily pleasure. Is there a way to create a shared network from my Mac Book Pro running Mountain Lion OS?

    Hi V3LV3TP0RKR1ND,
    You can use Internet Sharing to share your connection with your iOS devices:

  • Help setting up using my airport extreme to share my internet connection

    I want to use my built-in airport extreme to share my internet connection with my PS3. I have a verizon aircard and have read on the internet that this can be done (but not necessarily with airport). I turned on internet sharing with airport and my ps3 reads my connection and obtains my ip address, but then it says could not connect to internet due to DNS server error.
    Could someone run me down the process step-by-step so I can see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
    P.S. I have a iMac running on leopard if that matters.

    ll959reds, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Unfortunately the Internet Sharing provided by OS X does not provide nearly the configuration possibilities as even a very inexpensive wireless router.
    Also if the firewall is enabled on the iMac, it applies equally to all ports including the AirPort (wireless) connection to the PS3. Therefore the firewall will block many of the requests from the PS3. To solve this issues, you would either need to disable the iMac's firewall or configure the iMac's firewall to allow connections via the AirPort side.
    A much simpler solution is to use a wireless router instead of your iMac to provide the connection for the PS3.

  • How to share my internet connection on my macbook with my iPhone ?

    Hi guys, Do you know how to share my internet connection on my macbook with my iPhone. I have already made my own network, and I allowed sharing Internet , but it didn't work. Can you help me , please?

    If your carrier provides the service, go to Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot.  If you don't see the Personal Hotspot option, then your carrier does not support it.
    Note that you'll have to pay for a 'tethering' data plan on top of your normal iPhone data plan.
