Can't use my wifi connection while sharing it to my PC via Ethernet

I am sharing my WiFi connection to my desktop PC using an Ethernet cable. The internet works great on my desktop, however my MacBook now can't use the connection. It says it's connected to WiFi but nothing will load.
Anyone know how I can use internet on both devices at the same time?
It's a MacBook (Mid 2010) running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1

Lets se if I understand this. Are you doing this because you don't have a router? And you need to create a hot spot? Here in an article on doing this.http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-windows-wifi-hotspot-share-internet-connection /

    I have an ipad also wifi at home. Would is needed to use my wifi connection while not at home?

    You can't use your wi-fi connection when not at home. Heck, my wi-fi connection bales out halfway down the back garden.  Many places offer wifi hot-spots. Go google. The only (relatively) surefire way to be able to get on the internet anywhere is to have a 3G capable iPad and corresonding data plan.

  • Why can't I get internet connection while I am away from a WiFi connection?

    Why can't I get internet connection while I am away from a WiFi connection?

    Some more information other than why would help. Does your service provider allow cellular data on your plan? Do you have cellular data turned on? Are you in a area with cellular coverage?

  • I can't use mi wifi in my ipad2 with ios6

    Please help me, i can't use my wifi with my ipad2 wifi with ios6.
    I need use my ipad, please your help or tech me how i can downgrade to ios 5.1.1

    You can't downgrade to iOS 5.1.1.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Can i use single database connection in a hole java application?

    can i use single database connection in a hole java application?.I have so many forms to use database connection.

    Theoretically you can. Not only theoretically. I've seen lots of application which only uses one database connection (they were using, oracle or mysql)
    The first reply given here assumed that the answer to
    your question depends only on the design of your
    application. That is not true.Yes it's true. Nothing in the original questions says that you aren't allowed to open or close the single connection that you have. It's looks more like the OP is interested in sharing a connection (i.e having a singleton or a connection pool with only one connection)
    It does also depend on the behaviour of the database
    in the background.
    Most databases have a time out for connections that
    are idle Not a problem. Most implementations of connection pools and applications which keeps a connection open have a timer which calls e.g. select * from dual (if you are using oracle) when the connection has been idle for X minutes.
    (some, like db2 on z/OS, even cancel
    connections, that are not idle, if they are open a
    certain amount of time or have reached a given limit
    of cpu seconds.)You would also have that problem if you had a connection pool with several connections.
    In essence: If you have no control over the time
    your application runs (and therefore your connection
    is open) or over type or the configuration of the
    database you are accessing, you can't do it.See above.
    The closest thing to what you want would be using
    PooledConnections, iif those are supported for the
    database you want to access.Not true.

  • How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

    how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

    I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA. 
    I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad.  I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time.  If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine.  This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
    I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
    Additional test:
    I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA.  The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
    I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

  • I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and now I can't keep the wifi connection to stay on. I have to keep entering my wifi password when the phone goes to sleep. How do I keep the wifi connection when I wake up the phone?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and I can't keep the wifi connection when the phone goes to sleep. I need to keep entering my wifi password when I wake up the phone. How do I keep the wifi on each time I walk into my house without reentering my password?

    What? Do you work for Apple?
    I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it.

  • Can I use my new IPad while it is charging

    Can I use my New IPad while it is charging?

    You can use the iPad while it's charging, however, it will take longer to fully charge.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode

    Hi every body
    I'm trying to set my connection autoCommit to false and begin a manual transaction in my application .I use sql server 2000 as my dbms and I set the connection selectMethod to "cursor" ,but when I run my application I see this error
    Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode
    what's wrong??

    Very hard to say using the code posted. However, a few things immediately jump out at me:
    Call setAutoCommit() immediately after getting the Connection. I have never tried calling that method in the middle of a transaction, and I imagine the results are not good.
    Where are your Statements? You should use PreparedStatement whenever possible. At worst, use a Statement. I don't even see that.
    Either commit and rollback yourself, or let auto-commit do it. IMO, whenever you write SQL, you should be coginzant of when a commit or rollback should occur. Therefore, I never use auto-commit.- Saish

  • I can't use the wifi after 10 pm, but i can use it again at 7 am?

    so for some reason, i can't use my wifi after 10 pm. but in the morning when i wake up, i can use it again. is this some parental control or something? please lead me through it. i can't really ask my parents to do it, because they're not technologically advanced. they can probably give me the basic like the password and all, but that's it. how can i fix it? i'm using the wifi on an ipod touch. the wifi works perfectly fine on a regular computer but it doesn't work on my ipod during those certain hours. can someone please help me?
    the wifi icon shows up in the upper left corner, but its obviously not connected. there are no restrictions on the ipod at all.
    any other details you need, please ask. i really need this solved!
    Message was edited by: teedeexx

    i'd definitely say it was a wifi thing rather than an ipod thing. as far as i can think of there would be no way to tell an ipod to only access the internet between 7am and 10pm. - unless you were to restrict it using the router (i imagine this COULD be possible, but don't know if it actually is).
    everything which accesses the internet is given an individual 'mac address'. so if you have say, 3 computers, an ipod, a games console, all accessing a wifi network, that router will recognise them all individually by it's individual mac address. you can use mac filtering to give you an extra level of security to your network. so even if the correct network password is entered onto a wifi enabled piece of technology, if the router hasn't got the mac address entered as one that it should accept, you won't get access to the network.
    i must reiterate, i don't know if you can do this, but i would think it may be possible to restrict a certain mac address from accessing the network at certain times of the day (for example a young kid who may be playing with their ipod in bed, but should really be asleep!)
    if you go into the settings option on your ipod, general, restrictions, you can play around with your own restrictions and see what they do. mostly they restrict complete access, or the download of explicit content.

  • HT1515 do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

    do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

    There are 3 Apple routers....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. Details here:
    http://www.apple.com/compare-wifi-models/
    Do you have one of these products in the living room? 
    If no, you can only use the AirPort Express by connecting to the router in the living room using an Ethernet cable at all times.

    Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.
