Connecting wirelessly to Imac running Windows XP for internet sharing

Hello,
At present I don't own a router, however when I directly connect my Imac to my cable modem (via ethernet cable) I am able to share the internet connection with other PCs via the wireless port in my Imac (while running Leopard)
Occastionally I run Windows XP using bootcamp and would like to be able to do the same thing. I know how to turn on internet connection sharing in Windows, but I can't get computers to connect to my computer as I can when running Leopard. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks

What type of radio mode and encryption are you using?
Are you using 802.11n 5GHz mode for example?

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Are you sure the interface is good?
Show your:
ifconfig -a
, please.
If right your interface, try install netcfg, or dhclient, and try again.
Btw, you can see this threads: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=59340
Good luck!

HT1349 New 27 inch Thunderbolt 2nd monitor not recognized by 27inch imac running windows 7.

I have a 27 inch imac running windows 7 and just purchased a 27 inch Apple thunderbolt display to use as a second monitor. Ive connected the second monitor via a thunderbolt cable however it is not being recongnized by the imac on windows 7. The screen is just black. I've been to the Multiple monitors setup screen in the windows control panel and it does not detect the second monitor. I have boot camp version 5.05033 installed which I installed today. If I run the IOS 10 operating system the second display works OK.
The graphics card is a AMD Radeon HD 6970M card.
I notice that if I have the second monitor plugged into the thunderbolt port the imac will not start up. I have to disconnect the monitor and then the imac will boot up.
I mainly use windows (unfortunately) because I have software that won't run on a MAC so I really need this second monitor to work with Windows.
How can I get the second monitor Thunderbolt display to work on Windows 7.0 ?
Thank you
JB

Display crashed - 2008 iMac running Windows 7

Hi there,
I have a later 2008 iMac running Windows 7 on an Nvidia 8800gt. I've been using the Windows side only for playing games, and have been doing so for about a year now. Everything has worked fine until today running Far Cry 2. The display started to stutter, then froze up. I rebooted, and it did this again, eventually crashing out of Windows.
Long story short, when I turn the iMac on now the grey screen is covered in green pixelated lines, and it won't show anything else. Did I finally kill the graphics card, or do I have bigger issues?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hmm...looks like you've been bitten by the "weak NVIDIA chip die" issue that so far has not been confirmed in desktops.
During the NVIDIA chip scandal of 2006-2008, an investigation was launched (media source I can't recall) which found a fair number of GeForce 8/9 chips also fell to the same supplier's mistake that crippled countless notebooks.
The best you can do is to bring the unit over to your local Apple Authorized gurus (including Apple Stores) and have them check it out. You can tell them that you suspect a bad GPU. I'm not sure if you'll have to pay for it, though if you bought AppleCare, you'd still be covered today.

Connecting my Powerbook to my iMac for internet sharing via airport

Thanks in advance for any help.
I have given up trying to get an answer to my Airport problem and NTL Virgin.
I now have my iMac connected to web via ethernet all okay for a week now so it can't be my connection that was the problem.
I need to connect my PowerBook to the internet now at the same time. I would obviously like to do this using wireless technology. I was hoping to web share my iMacs connection via the airport cards on both macs but seem to be struggling.
I can set up a new network on the iMac and get the PowerBook to see it but it won't connect to the internet.
Any advice would be great thanks

Can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices?

can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices? we have it connected wirelessly but devices connected to the ethernet ports are not working.

Not as an additional router.. the TC will be plugged into the main router via ethernet (or ethernet equivalent)..
Then the TC is setup in bridge mode. It will simply act as a Switch and HDD.
The wireless can be setup in a number of ways.
From your convenience point of view use it in roaming network mode..
you simply give the TC the same Wireless Name as the existing routers SSID.
Same security setting and password. WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES which is the best.
But they both use different wireless channels.. normally if you leave the TC on auto it will work fine, but I prefer to control the network.. so set the main router to say 1 and the TC to 11.
You can also use a completely different wireless name etc.. that is up to you. It is still a single flat network and the only thing that is important is only having one router.

Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.

Configure DHCP Server options for Internet Sharing?

Good morning, all.
I have a Sprint (Sierra 595U) AirCard internet connection, which I'm sharing over my AirPort (using OS X's built-in Internet Sharing) to several Windows clients in my office. I see that when Sharing is enabled, en1 takes on the address 10.0.2.1 by default, as well as the role of default gateway/router and DHCP server for the Windows clients.
My question is: Can I configure the IP addresses and DHCP options for Internet Sharing to another address/mask scheme?
Just like I changed my home wireless network away from the default 192.168.1.0/24 for security reasons, I'd like to do the same here.
Thanks and Regards,
BrooklynWalker

Some paranoia is good.
Yes, of course security paranoia can be cultured. like yogurt
I googled.
This might help:
http://www.aleph0.com/computing/macosx/dhcp-setup/
but from what I just read, changing away from the default net & mask might be putzy.Some other discussions for you:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050331194834746
or you might see something here that helps.
Sorry not to be more specific. Hard to tell if you already googled for yourself.
I'll let someone smarter than I am take a look for you, here.

Wpa not available for internet sharing

Hiya,
Just want to verify:
WPA is not available for internet sharing over airport card?
All that is available is old insecure WEP. Updated to airport 4.2, but the config utilities only apply to base station / express. So, if sharing a connection over airport card then we're stuck with the 'laughable' security of WEP.
This is true?
Why? Is it impossible to add WPA for sharing?
Please confirm if anyone knows...
thanks!
12 powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Problem is solved, although I do not really know why:
My parent's email address is [email protected] since years. In my address book I have both addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]
Somehow their FaceTime used their mac.com address and after we changed that to [email protected] everything is fine now, I can reach them via FaceTime.
I hope this helps somebody.

Airport (TIme Capsule) not connecting to iMAC running windows XP

I have an iMAC that runs both OS X and Windows. My router is an airport (Time Capsule)
I can wirelessly access the router when running OS X, but when I run Windows XP I can not. If I plug the cable from the cable modem directly into the iMAC when running XP, it works fine.
The airport (Time Capsule) shows up in the wireless setting with a strong signal, but when I try to connect to it; I get "Wireless router is out of range". The airport sits next to the computer.
Any suggestions.

Antivirus for iMac running Windows with Boot Camp

I am running Windows on my Mac using Boot Camp. If I install an antivirus, will it protect me when I am logged into windows? Or do I need to install an additional antivirus when I am on Windows?

You only need anti-virus protection for the Windows environment, though this will likely bring out a fire storm of debate.
The most susceptible system is Windows so protect yourself there.

Connect to a printer that connected to a PC running Windows 7

Hello
I'm using an iMac running Snow Leopard, and a PC running Windows 7.
I have a Brother DCP 130-C printer/scanner connected to the PC.
I want the printer to be shared between both computers to be able to print wirelessly from my mac.
How can I do that?

The first thing I'd do would be to contact Brother tech support. (Assuming that I got a MFD that doesn't have an Ethernet port, that is, something which I haven't done for years now precisely to avoid this kind of thing.)
Failing that, the boys at iFelix have a guide for connecting a printer on a WinXP system to a Mac. The procedure should be similar. <http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html>
