Can't share internet connection with iPad since installing Time Capsule

Until today, I've used Earthlink's DSL service with a Netopia DSL modem with an ethernet connection to my iMac through a Linksys WRT54G router. My iPads (1 & 2) have been able to simultaneously share the internet connection over wifi.
Today, I installed a Time Capsule and removed the old Linksys router. I'm still using Earthlink's DSL service with the same Netopia DSL modem, and I still have an ethernet connection to my iMac, but through the Time Capsule now. I can get online from the iMac without problems.
But my iPad can no longer connect as they did previously. When I try to visit a website using Safari on the iPad, I get the message, "The Internet connection s currently in use by another computer. Enter your DSL Account logon password to switch the Internet connection to this computer." If I enter the DSL account password on the iPad, I can get online, but then the iMac is knocked offline.
How can I go back to sharing the connection so that any of the devices can get online at the same time?

I found another thread right after I posted and seem to have solved the problem following the steps described there (plus a couple more).

  • IPhone 3GS can't share internet connection with a windows 7 64 bit version?

    I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest iOS installed, then the personal hotspot option is ON and it shares internet connection to a laptop with Windows 7, 32 bit version and with the latest version of itunes installled (10.6.1.7).
    But when I connect this same iPhone to another laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit version with the latest version of itunes 64 bit, there is no internet sharing, no error, no signal of fails, it is just as if the hotspot option were OFF.
    Its is posible to share internet from iPhone 3GS to a PC with Windows 7, 64 bit version?

    Hey there @slee , welcome back
    I would suggest trying the steps in this guide for the installation troubles you are having on your one specific Windows 7 computer.
    Windows 7: The Progress Bar on the Software Installation Stops or Stalls
    You can also try disabling your firewall while you run the installation to see if that helps.

  • Sharing an internet connection with Airport express and Time Capsule

    Hi, I have been happily using a cable modem and a Time Capsule for my internet connection and wireless network. We recently added solar panels to our roof and the system needs to be connected to the internet so it can be monitored remotely. Calling Comcast is an exercise in frustration, and the solar people don't seem to know exactly how to do it, so I'm trying this.
    We bought an Airport Express, thinking if it is connected with an ethernet cable to the solar system, it could somehow share the internet connection with the Time Capsule, or they could talk to each other. When I plug in the Airport Express, the only set-up option seems to be to set up a new network, which I don't think I want to do. Can anyone tell me how to set this up? Thank you!

    Hi, Under Water.
    You should configure the Express to "Join a wireless network" or to "Extend a wireless network". (Either one will work.)
    Connect your computer to your Express via Ethernet and open AirPort Utility. Press "Manual Setup" and authenticate if necessary.
    Go to the "Base Station" tab. Give the Express a name and password.
    Go to the "Wireless" tab. Set the Wireless mode to "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network." Enter the name of the wireless network created by your Time Capsule (or select it from the list). Check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients" (if you're joining) or "Allow Wireless Clients" (if you're extending).
    Provide the appropriate security mode and password for the Time Capsule's network.
    Press "Update" and allow your Express to restart.
    Then you can plug the solar system into the Express's Ethernet port.

  • How can I share internet connection of iPad?

    Under the following considerations:
    - An iPad3 has established a 3G/4G data connection.
    - There is a wireless access-point working.
    - iPad is connected to that wireless access-point.
    - There is a notebook (or desktop whatever) also connected to same wireless network.
    ... is it possible to share iPad's internet connection across the network and how?
    Important note:
    I am not looking for iPad to perform like a wireless hot-spot. IMHO I am looking for a gateway/router application for iPad.

    You can't.
    If you don't want to use your local WiFi you could try using a mobile phone that allows you to create a personal hotspot.

  • Can't share internet connection via firewire - missing something obvious?

    I have my G4 933 connected via ethernet to a Dynalink RTA100+ DSL modem/router. Would like to share this internet connection with anther G4 450 (time warp here) over firewire until I sort a proper router... both are running on 10.4.11
    I connected the computers with firewire cable and configured the firewire ports Manually (as I couldn't get DHCP to populate them in the right range).
    Tried initially turning on Personal File and Web Sharing on each, but couldn't get a Ping to go through g4 to g4, even though I can see each firewire port's ip in each other's routing table info...
    Also turned on Internet Sharing over Firewire port from Ethernet but G4 450 can't connect.
    Read somewhere that you can't do both, so have reverted to just trying to get the Internet Sharing working (as that's all the kids really want on their computer!)
    Dug around in the modem for ages tried it in Bridge mode, couldn't connect either computer to internet then so have gone back to normal PPP settings with DHCP.

    Hi Rose,
    You can't Manually set the IPs for Internet Sharing according to Apple, (I've done it, but not consistently),
    You do want the G4/450 to use DHCP, the G4/933 will likely end up handing out an IP to the 450 of 192.168.2.4, (one higher in the 3rd & 4th place, and wont work if the 933 started out as x.x.2.x), but it must do it itself to keep track of NAT within itself.
    True you can't do both File & Internet Sharing at once.
    On the G4/933, en0/Ethernet needs to be dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations. On the G4/450, fw0/Firewire needs to be dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations.
    Internet Sharing needs to be OFF on the 450 & rebooted if it was ON.
    As far as the Setting not sticking, there may be more, but Trash these two files on the 933 then Reboot...

  • How to share internet connection with KDE networkmanager applet

    I mainly use wireless around my house and like to use one computer to share it's wireless to another when installing Arch, until I can get KDE and networkmanager installed so I can easily connect to the wireless. I've always been able to easily share internet connections with Ubuntu, but when I try it with Arch, with Gnome OR KDE (and their respective applets), It just doesn't work.
    Is there some library or backend I need to install to make ICS work?
    Thanks!
    Last edited by MetaMan (2011-09-10 22:12:26)

    If this helps at all, here is what I am currently trying: I open up the network settings KDE Control Module, select "Wired", select the device (eth0) and click edit, and under the "IPv4 Address" tab  selecting "Shared" from the "Method" drop-down.
    Also, to make it clearer, I am trying to share wlan0(on device 1) through eth0 to eth0 on device 2. Also, device 2 is running the Arch setup and I am telling it to connect to eth0 via DHCP after I select the remote mirror to use. I have managed to do this before when device 1 ran Ubuntu.
    I've searched Google, the forums, read the wiki pages for KDE and networkmanager, and can't seem to find a mention of internet connection sharing (pertaining to my usage case; the forums have some posts of people trying to use their computer to broadcast eth0, I'm trying to do the opposite) anywhere on them. In fact, I'll gladly write the section myself if I figure this problem out.
    Hope this extra information helps!

  • Using time capsule to share internet connection with a pc via ethernet

    Hi,
    I've recently acquired a time capsule and was wondering if i could use it to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet to my non-wireless (windows 7) pc?
    My current situation is that i have a wireless modem/router that shares my internet connection wirelessly with my mac mini.
    I have a pc without a wireless card that i want to connect to the wireless network so i was wondering if it was possible to attach the pc and the time capsule with an ethernet cable, then connect the time capsule to the wireless network and share the internet connection with the pc.
    Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so how?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    IF...your wireless network is now being created by another Apple "n" router like an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule, it would be possible to do what you want to do.
    But the Time Capsule would not be compatible for what you want if your wireless is created by another manufacturer's router. The Time Capsule could "join" this wireless network so that backups would occur over wireless. However, when the Time Capsule is configured this way, the ethernet ports on the device are not active, so this would not help with the ethernet connection that your computer needs.
    A new AirPort Express 802.11n would do what you want. It has the capability of joining virtually any wireless network and the ethernet port can be enabled using the ProxySTA feature, so it would work for your purpose.

  • I want to share internet connection with external IP

    Hello, guys.
    I am running 2010 2.4GHz Mac Mini with 2GB RAM. My inernet cable goes directly to my Mac with no router whatsoever. Here's my problem:
    I'm trying to set up a game server (Minecraft). So I need port 25565 to be opened. I managed to do that on my Mac and it's working perfectly. But now I want to host that server on my laptop (running Windows 7).
    When I share my internet connection with that laptop and run the server and then check the port using canyouseeme.org I get message that that port is closed, connection refused.
    After few hours of no results (adding Firewall rules, trying to port forward (before I see that port forwading can be done only using a router)) I call up my ISP and the guy tells me that when my Mac shares the internet connection, my laptop's IP is internal thus making the server that it's running invisible to others. My question is:
    How do I share the Mac's connection via WiFi so that the laptop gets external (visible to the public) IP?
    I really hope I made my problem clear.
    Thanks.

    Get a router.
    The internet is a dangerous place for a computer without a properly configured firewall.
    Also, when you get said router, look at the Logmein Hamachi VPN. It provides a point to point vpn connection which should resolve your minecraft issues.

  • Since installing Time Capsule, all other devices have problem with their internet connection

    3 or 4 weeks ago my sister bought herself a Time Capsule to use with her IMac and since we have a big house and the Wifi Connection is pretty weak at her room, she connected it with our devolo dlan ethernet(which makes a connection between the time capsule and the router via electrical cables). I also use the same system for my xbox360/ps4 and never had any problems, but since she no longer has her Imac connected directly(WLan from her Time Capsule) something is messed up. If I don't unplug her Time Capsule I'm not able at all to connect with the Internet with my Xbox360 and with my Ps4 I'm only able once in 6-10 trials and only for about 5-30 seconds. But this isn't even all, my Laptop which has top Connection to our home network and also to the time capsule network sometimesneeds me to change between them for about a dozen times till it finally is able to make a connection with the Internet and even then it loses the connection to the Internet from time to time.
    So my Question is, is it possible that the Time Capsule screws up some of the routing of the router and what can I do about it?
    My Sister is happy because she finally has a good wifi connection in her room, but it got unbearable for me because it screws up the internet connection of every single electronical gadget I own and I don't want to have to unplug my sisters' time capsule every time she isn't in her room.

    Yes, the TC can be messing things up. It is in router mode and is providing the dhcp in the wrong network to clients in the wrong places..
    The TC should be in bridge mode.. is it.. ??
    Go to the setup of the TC in the airport utility and check the setup.

  • Make AirPort Extreme share internet connection with Time Capsule

    Hello,
    This is the situation: in one room there's an old Mac, the modem which delivers the internet and the AirPort Extreme which is connected to the modem.
    In another room there's the Mac Pro, the Time Capsule which is connected to the Mac Pro with an ethernet cable and to a printer via USB.
    I want the AirPort Extreme to wirelessly share it's internet connection with the Time Capsule so that the Time Capsule can share the printer with all three Macs (old Mac, Mac Pro and Macbook Pro), the Mac Pro can use the Time Capsule for Time Machine functionality and maybe the Macbook Pro too.
    And just using the Time Capsule for internet.
    How can I do this?
    At the moment the AirPort Extreme is disconnected and the Time Capsule is used instead, but this way I can't share the printer...
    Thanks!

    Is that AirPort Extreme "flat" or dome-shaped?  If it's flat (802.11n-capable), you should be able to configure the "main" router to "Allow this network to be extended" and the other to "Join a wireless network".  If the Extreme is dome-shaped, then you need a more-complicated "WDS" arrangement.  In either case it shouldn't matter much which router plays which role.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "And just using the Time Capsule for internet."

    Is the printer connected to the USB port of the Time Capsule?  Can you see the printer in the "Printer" panel of AirPort Utility?  What happens when you try to use it from one of the Macs?

  • I can't see my network Printers when i installed Time Capsule

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I had a wireless network using my NetGear router so i can share internet and two network printers. The network printers are connected to the router using ethernet wires. Now that i installed Time Capsule i can't get the Network Printer to print.

    I did what you said, made sure that both network printers where turned on connected to TC and ready to print, then i opened my system Preference, Print & Fax, i removed my two printers that where there before and working, then hit the plus sign, add printer, here's what's different, my MacBook Pro, under AppleTalk and one of my printers can up and it now works but the other didn't. So on my iMac i tried the same thing but no printer showed up under AppleTalk, i did find the two printers under "Default" and Bonjour was under "kind" i said install to both and it did. I just tried printing to both printers and now i have two bouncing printer icons on my doc with a massage " Attempting to connect to host 192.168.1.10" for one of the printers and the second "Attempting to connect to host XRX92CABD.local." i'm starting to think that i didn't set up the TC correctly or i have some option in TC setup wrong.

  • Can't share ethernet connection with PS3!

    I have a wi-fi network that does not support PS3 so I am trying to share my ethernet with it instead. The thing is, everytime I turn on Wi-fi - so that I can share - it ends up trying to connect to that existing wi-fi network instead. Any ideas on how to stop this? Thanks!

  • Can't establish internet connection with Time Capsule

    I currently have a wireless Linksys router and have switch over to TC.  I've connected my cable modem internet connection to the internet connection of the Time Capsule, however, with the Airport Utility it states that I do not have a valid IP Address.  I've check under the Manual setting for Internet and ensured that the connection says "share a public IP address", but that does not work.  Any ideas?

    Did you remember to completely reset your cable modem and power cycle the network?
    Push the reset button on the modem (if present)
    Power the modem down
    Pull the batttery (if easily accessible)
    Power down every device on the network....order is not important
    Wait at least 15-20 minutes
    Make sure that you have the Ethernet cable from the modem connected to the WAN port (world icon) on the Time Capsule, and re-install the battery if it was pulled in the steps above
    Power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
    Power up the Time Capsule the same way
    Continue powering up devices one at a time about a minute apart until the network is powered back up
    Check network operation

  • How to share internet connection with 8gig Ipod touch

    Hi all, I'm about to buy a 8gig touch tommorow and would like to know before I buy it, How can I share my HSDPA Three broadband connection with the Touch? the Connection is a usb dongle on the desktop, I've got a usb wifi dongle plugged into the desktop aswell, i havent a clue how to set it up tho, why I want to know is, so I can listern to shoutcast radio stations on the touch upstairs in bed without having to stay downstairs near the dessktop. is it possible to do and if it is how ? cheers
    Message was edited by: dj-toonz

    Your touch can connect to your wireless network via WiFi. How your network is setup makes all of the difference on whether or not you can connect, however.
    If your desktop is connected via Ethernet (even with a USB adaptor) you may be able to use the desktop as an ad hoc wireless network. This is possible on Macs ad Vista machines, not sure on XP.
    Your best bet is a wireless router, however. They generally have more range than an ad hoc setup and have additional benefits such as a firewall and network security. You would connect your broadband connection to your wireless router and then all of your devices, wired or wireless would connect through your router.

  • Share internet connection with a twist...

    Hi everyone,
    I want to share my internet connection from my iMac via Airport, but I want to make it a hidden network.
    Anyone know how I might be able to do this?
    Thanks.

    I don't think you can hide the network, which incidentally would be named "yourname's iMac". You can password protect the network. Why don't you just do it and see what options you get?
