Can't Wirelessly Share Internet Connection Any More

I used to share my internet connection, without my router, through the Sharing panel of System Preferences. After messing around with some of the settings, laptops are no longer able to connect. These are the currently configured settings:
Share Connection From: Built-In Ethernet
To Computers Using: Ethernet, Airport
Should something else be enabled?

Installed trial version - no internet connection any more

Hello,
thank you for reading.
I installed the trial version of InDesign CC2014 two days ago and at first it worked fine. I also installed Adobe Bridge CC as well as the new version of the Acrobar Reader and the Creative Cloud. But since yesterday I cannot access the internet any more, unless I use Windows 7's safe mode which I am doing right now.
I have rebooted my router, checked all my connections and ran the windows diagnosis tool. It says, that there is a problem with the IP. I also uninstalled the Cloud to see if this makes any difference, but it doesn't. I have no idea what else to do, it seems like the connection is blocked from the inside, so to speak. Again, before installing the Adobe software everything worked fine, so I think it has something to do with it.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Best
Markus

I won't say it's impossible that the Adobe software is involved, but only because I'm not one of the engineers. It also seems less likely since the problem occurred a day AFTER you installed the software, not immediately.
I suspect you picked up some malware. Do you have a good malware scanner (I use Malwarebytes)?
A couple of things you can try. First, run System Restore and go back to before you installed the trials (since you've already uninstalled them I don't think this is going to have a negative impact on their use -- you already killed them). The other thing I would do is restart normally, then run MSConfig and make a note of the name of any entry in the Startup section that you cannot identify as belonging to a legitimate program, then restart in Safe Mode again so you can google them.

AEBS can't keep an internet connection for more than 1 day...why?

I continually have to reset my Ethernet cable on my cable modem to get connected to the internet.This is very frustrating. I had Apple send me a new unit and that still hasn't fixed the problem. The only thing that works is printer sharing.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problems?

According to Adobe...
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Cloud desktop applications?
No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Photoshop and Illustrator) are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
Seems like you would be ok, but I understand what you're saying, hopefully a Staff member will confirm.

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.
Let me know the results!

[Solved]Share internet connection

Hi guys
I know the title seems kinda dumb but maybe is not as easy as it seems (or im having a brain segmentation fault).
What i want to do is this, i have a wireless router on the living room and i just bought a PC and put it in my bedroom i alredy had a netbook and i want to have internet connection in my PC i see 3 options:
1. buy a giant ethernet cable, and pay like 25 euros, or 2 not so big cables a put a switch in the midle and pay even more
2. buy a wireless card for my PC, pay 15 euros and it will problably not work in linux
3. connect my netbook to the wireless then connect PC and netbook via ethernet cable (crossover right?) and share internet connection
I rather option number 3 (in long term i will eventually go with number 2) but i dont know how to do it.
Alredy tried windows to windows but of course Microshit didnt put Internet Connection Share on windows 7 starter version (the one theat came up with the netbook).
I only have Windows on the PC yet cause i want internet so i can install arch so option 3 has to be linux-to-Windows(i also want internet on windows, not because i use it that much but you never know), but then when i install arch how i will i get the packges to configure the network without internet.
Anyway i will problably try to talk to my Network Fundaments Teacher in College next week but i wanted this working this weekend so i could install arch.
Help me please just bought the tower and i cant do shit with it (no internet no graphics card)
Sorry for my poor english

Share internet connection

Can anyone enlighten me on why a 10.6 OS that previously shared internet with a 10.6 machine, can no longer share internet with a 10.7 OS?
My 10.7 has no problems with wifi, but seems to have no way of getting a shared connection from another mac.
All I get is an exclamation mark on the wifi signal indicator...
thx

Does my Airport Extreme a/b/g card (Mini-PCI) in my G4 eMac support the new 802.11n standard or the enabler software?
No
And how can I share my DSL (over Ethernet) internet connection over the Airport Extreme card?
If your needs are very basic you can use OS X's Internet sharing to share the connection from Ethernet to AirPort. Go to System Preferences->Sharing and enable Internet sharing.
If you have the firewall enabled, you would also want to enable Personal Web Sharing to open the standard ports used for browsing.
A much more robust and configurable solution is to pick up an inexpensive wireless router.

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!

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!

Connect C3 to PC's AdHoc to Share Internet Connect...

Is there anybody knows how to share internet connections to C3? I've been thinking about creating an AdHoc Connection so, my C3 can access my PC's Internet connection trough WiFi.
I use Windows XP. Please help me. Any references are welcome. Thank you.

I DONT want to use the phone as the modem, read what i posted. I DONT want to use phone modem or GPRS, i want the phone to get internet from the pc via bluetooth or cable, but in the end from the PC, so that i can use my dialup or DSL or broadband
I love my Nokia E50
but I've got a new N82 in my life

E71: seems impossible to share internet connection...

Hi nokia users,
Since a few days I am back to Symbian, after using Windows Mobile for a year. Got a Nokia E71 and really love it (user interface, phone and onboard functions are so much better!!), there is one problem although: whatever I try (see below), it seems impossible to use the phone as an external modem (and that’s a must have function for a phone for me). Important to mention: the mobile internet connection are working fine on the phone itself, AP settings seems to be OK. I tried following:
- Fixed cable connection, using the E71 USB profile ‘Share internet connection). Phone installs Nokia Connection Manager on my computers and tries acting as a modem. Got the error ‘No modem found’
- PC Suite One Touch Access: with the USB cable or Bluetooth connections there is no problem in connecting phone with the computer. When I try to connect to the internet with One Touch Access, the connection fails (with error messages ‘No modem found’ or ‘Could not use the connection. Modem could be busy or modem is not configurated properly’). I tried several settings: choose my provider, manually configurations, nothing worked
- JoikuSpot (let your symbian phone act as a wifi hotspot to share mobile internet connection): installs seamlessly, computers can see and connect to JoikuSpot, but then nothing happens. 0-0 packets are send and received when I check the status on the phone.
All the above I tried on two different Windows XP Home computers with compatible Bluetooth stacks (first tried Bluesoleil and then the standard Microsoft Bluetooth stack), with three different versions of Nokia PC Suite (6.7.22 + 6.86 + 7.07).
I hard-reset the phone several times (via *#7370#). I did not synchronise data to use a clean phone. Nothing worked. What worries me is that even the USB connection gave no response, it makes me think that the onboard modem is broken.
If you have any ideas what I can try, please share them with me!
Thanks a lot and greetings,
Wouter

Have you downloaded the bluetooth modem drivers? You might also need the cable driver.
You can get the cable driver here:
http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/cable-drivers
The Bluetooth drivers are in the downloads section of the E71 section of the Nokia page, but for some reason pasting a link won't work
I managed to get the trial of joikuspot premium working (on a mac), but you should be aware that the lite version of joikuspot just connects you to their home page. It's a demo only really, I have never been able to use it for sharing my phone's connection.
Good luck!

Share internet connection through iMac with Time Capsule

I have a scenario at work where I need to temporarily set another router as the DHCP server. I have a customer who has a typical office setup. They have an iMac which is plugged into a time capsule (TC). A network printer is also plugged into the same time capsule. I have had to move the WAN modem to where the wifi router is located in another room. The office needs to be able to connect to the new WIFI network while still having the network printer work. If I setup TC to "join another network" and put into bridge mode, I can no longer communicate with network printer. Can I choose "share internet" in OSX system preferences> Sharing on iMac, connect wirelessly through iMac and have TC function as a simple network switch somehow while being able to communicate with printer.
Thanks

First, before I get into too much detail: Is it even possible to set up a WPA2 network directly from the iMac without a separate router?
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Despite the fact that WPA2 encryption has existed for years, Apple hasn't seen fit to include that option in its "Internet sharing" feature.

Zen Vision M Firmware Problem!!! Can't deal with this thing any more...

Can't deal with this thing any more...3 Hello friends I'm new in the forum
Well as the title mentions, I'm about to throw this thing oute of the window!!!
It's a 30 GB Zen Vision M, I own it ,5 years now...
I have read all the relevant posts in the forum about this player, I tried my best, nothing really worked.....
So now I have a Zen which only boots in the recovery mode!!
I have Cleaned it Up, Formated it, and tried to reload its firmware BUT when I connect it and try to reload it, in the end it always says Firmware Upgrade Failed!!Really can't understand it!!!!!
I've communicated with Creative, i wasn't at all satisfied with their responses... I think what they're trying to do is to avoid me, and earn some time with really useless suggestions which I had already told them won't work!!!So in the end they wanted me to send my Zen in Italy and pay more than 100 Euros for what an ,5 year old mp3 player?No I prefer buying a new Cowon with that amount of money!!!
Anyways I'm pretty mad now, so I'll move to the subject..
I have Service Pack 3 Windows XP in my computer, and I did roll back on the Media Player 0 from the I had, using the instructions from a previous post. The truth is that it rolled back with less steps than it showed, and I say that because it mentions in a step that in the add-remove programms, in the Windows XP-Software Updates section, I should find a Windows Media player thing which really doesnt exist and I suspect it's the Service Pack 3 because I have done the same in a SP2 and worked exactly as the steps said..Anyway the fact is I have Windows Media Player 0 now!!!
Please someone tell why can't I upgrade my firmware... I can't deal with this anymore!!!!

So you say that I actually have the Windows Media Player 0, because my Zen is being recognised..
I have rebooted it several times but its just the same thing...it shows firmware problem!!
Why isn't this player working?I've seen many people, not only from here, who have the same exact problem and they gave up on their mp3... I dont have this kind of luxury to buy a new one!!I don't know whether Creative has put on this a "time bomb" or is just faulty, but I really wish it could be saved..
I'm saying it is WMP0 because the firmware file sees the player. The computer can recognize it but with WMP components that firmware file would be grayed-out..So when you reloaded the firmware did you choose "reload firmware" Before you connected it's?(That is what erases the firmware prior to uploading the firmware. If you did not do that it could cause it to fail.Do these ste
ps.
Open the firmware file,On the player format>cleanup>choose reload firmware, then connect & run the firmware file.

Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod?

Hello everyone,
I own iPod Touch 4 with iOS 4.3.3 (8J2). I want my iPod be able to connect to the internet when WiFi broadcasting is not available around while I am on the go.
So my question is: Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod? With which smartphone or mobile OS other than iPhone/iOS?
I don't want to JB my iPod Touch.
I heard that smartphones with Android can tether the internet connection to iPod Touch, bu I am not sure, I searched the internet but couldn't find anything as I wanted.
Thanks, regards.
Erhan T.

I've got a (now considered ancient) Nokia N95 8 GB mobile, with the app JoikuSpot Light on it - has been working really well though I wouldn't suggest buying Nokia if you were going to buy a new mobile...if you happen to get your hands on an old-ish Nokia or Ericsson (Symbian platform) Joiku will do a good job of creating a wifi hotspot. Some more info under this thread:

Good luck 8-)

Easiest way to share internet connection?

Please advise the easiest way to share internet connection. I have a default network setup. Just a desktop with dhspcd for client connections and no network manager. I've inserted another nic and want to share internet connection with another computer.
I followed instructions from "Internet sharing" and "dhcpd" wikis, but these articles aren't foolproof enough for me. I'm getting the following errors:

@The Saint
Do you mean I should manually assign a static IP to my local interface using Persistent configuration on boot using systemd? It's so ruddy complicated! I am deliberately posting in the Newbie Corner to find a simple solution.
What address, subnet, netmask, etc. should I choose if my primary interface has: inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255, if it matters at all?
Or perhaps I could use netctl to set up the interface as suggested here: [link=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NAT%27ing_firewall_-_Share_your_broadband_connection#IP_configuration]IP configuration[/link], but I am not sure what provides the existing connection. It's a default setup. I think it's dhcpcd. Would it be OK to have one interface configured through dhcpcd and another through netctl?

How to share internet connection from notebook to mobile phone with micro usb cord in Debian based OS? (reverse tethering)

I want to share internet connection from notebook to my mobile phone (Keon) with micro usb cord (because I don't have wifi). I found in Firefox OS (version: Boot2Gecko 1.1.1.0-prerelease) Settings only the possibility to share internet from mobile phone to PC. I use a Debian based OS: Knoppix. I tried to accomplish this with Networking Manager and I did a new wired connection via my phone with "Shared to other computers" IPv4 Settings and with FE:...:02 (usb0) MAC address. But on my phone there is not internet although the connecton between my notebook and phone is estableshed.

Hi Pimpo,
Thank you for posting your question. I was trying to reproduce your the Shared network, and I would love to know what kind of network you used to connect. This is not possible as of yet and I will file a bug being able to do this, but to make sure I have the right steps on the bug can you confirm the set up of the shared network please?
Also this is currently not possible because the software does not know how to send network traffic over usb, assuming you do not have the ability to turn the computer into a wifi hot spot, which I would recommend instead...

How to share internet connection using 5G wifi/channel 36~48

I'm using a 15 inch late 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display running 10.10.1 and iPhone 5S A1530 running iOS 8.1.
I use an Apple thunderbolt to ethernet adapter at work for internet and it's all cool and fine.
The problem comes when I try to share the internet connection with my phone through wifi. It's alright if I use channel 1 to 11. But when I try the 5G channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, it just doesn't work. The wifi icon in the top right corner of my screen has a wave animation and then nothing. It just goes back to grey instead of an arrow pointing upwards. In the slimmest hope of a display error, I search nearby wifi signal with my phone and nothing.
I have a 5G router at home and both my laptop and my phone can connect to its 5G signal. So the hardware should be fine.
It's weird since it should be working as Apple decided to put an option there for user to choose from all the channels, among which lie the four 5G channels.
So to conclude, my laptop with a functioning 5G wifi module can share internet connection through 2.4G wifi but not 5G.
Hope someone could help me with it. Thanks.

I've turned on NAT and attempted to create a new Subnet using DHCP but it doesn't offer me Airport in the network interface menu (only en0 and fw0). Airport is turned on in network system prefs.
Have you actually configured the AirPort network with its own IP address settings (in a different subnet from the wired ethernet port)?
Having the interface enabled isn't enough to make it a viable gateway interface. It needs an IP address/subnet mask too.
