If you are using Connection Sharing as provided by Mac OS X (in the Sharing System Preference) then be sure to make sure the appropriate ports are open in your Firewall. If you fail to open the right ports the connection you are sharing will not work.

  • Internet connection sharing between Mac Mini and Imac G3- how?

    Ok, I'm trying to connect my G3 Imac (running 10.4.8) to my Mac Mini (also running 10.4.8) but it just wont work.
    I've turned Internet Connection sharing on on my Mac Mini, and set it to share the airport connection to computers connected using Built in ethernet.
    Network (on the M Mini) shows
    Built-In Ethernet is currently active. Built-In Ethernet has a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet.
    Network (on the G3) shows
    Built-In Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.2.7. You are connected to the Internet via Built-In Ethernet.
    When i try to go to a webpage on the G3 it fails stating, 'You are not connected to the Internet'.
    I'm using a standard straight through ethernet cable, as I was told a while ago from apple support that it doesn't matter which u use, straight through or crossover.
    Any help would be really appreciated
    Macbook 2.0Ghz 2GB 80GB/Mac Mini 1.42Ghz 1GB 80GB/Imac G3 450Mhz 640MB 80GB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    OK after some playing about I can now manage to connect to the mac mini and vice versa to share files.
    The iMac G3 now says it has an IP address of 192.168.2.18, and that it's connected to the internet via built-in ethernet. I've set configure IPV4 to Using DHCP.
    Except it's not connected to the net.
    If i select Using DHCP on the Mini it doesn't obtain an IP address, not even a self set one. So i've set a manual IP address on that, and everything shows up green. Airpot connected to the internet and Ethernet has an IP address of 192.168.2.30.
    After reading some forums I set up firewall logging. The result is what happens on the Mac Mini when I use network diagnostics on the G3:
    Feb 11 16:43:52 richard-xxxxx-mac-mini natd[394]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
    So I opened port 394 (not really knowing what i'm trying) but it had no effect.

  • File sharing between Mac Mini and iMac "breaks" after reboot of either device, and won't restore.  Why?  Running Maverick 10.9.1 on both.  File sharing is setup on both.  Help.

    I'm a new user - recent convert from longtime Windows to Apple.  Thought having desktops and computing aligned with phones and tablets would help.  Not so far.
    I have a MacMini running Mavericks 10.9.1, and an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1.  File Sharing is set up on both.  If either device is rebooted for any reason, file sharing from the Mac Mini to the iMac "breaks" and will not easily restart.  Various things eventually brings the connection back - usually having to do with checking and unchecking File Sharing, the AFP button, and/or the SMB button on the iMac - but never the same procedure twice in a row.  File Sharing from the iMac to the Mac Mini is never disrupted - always comes back up without a problem.  Screen Sharing also works between both without fail, and comes up after reboot of either.  No problem there.  Only difficulty is from Mac Mini to the iMac. 
    Why?  Any ideas? 

    Should also clarify - usually takes multiple hours of checking/unchecking file sharing settings in order to restore the share between Mac Mini and iMac.  NEVER happens automatically.
    This is disruptive because I've got the Mac Mini pointing to several file locations on the iMac for various things - photos, music, etc. - and they all hang up unless the share is restored.  Real bummer.

  • Sharing between Mac mini and Macbook Pro

    I have recently switched to using Macs and can't figure out my issue. I am trying to figure out how to share both my files and my internet between my mac mini and MBP at work. My mac mini is hardlined to the internet and I would like to use airport to connect my MBP to the internet. I would hope I could also share files between the two computers. Can anyone help me?

  • Internet Sharing between Mac Mini and Windows 7

    Hi all,
    I installed Lion yesterday on my parent's Mac Mini. We use the Mini's Internet Sharing to connect the other computers in our house to the internet since we're only home a few months of the year.
    After setting up Internet Sharing I jumped over to my HP G62 and connected to the new network. It found it but I can only load a few websites off of the connection: Google, Youtube, Netflix(sometimes) and my school's email. Everything else just endlessly loads - I can't follow links through Google searches, can't input the URLs directly, nothing seems to work except those few sites.
    The websites work fine while I'm on Mini, and all of the settings appear to be the same as when we were running Snow Leopard - minus the change to WiFi instead of Airport. I also seem to be getting a slower connection on my HP, it's registering between 52Mbps and 65Mbps - it used to register at 100Mbps.
    Any ideas?

    Same here, but I am sharing from a WIFI connection to an Ethernet device.

  • Connection fails between N97 mini and Ovi Suite

    Hi,
    I have had many kind of problems connecting my N97 mini with my laptop but have finally hitted the edge in this issue and didn't find an answer existing here.
    When I updated my Ovi Suite to the latest version the connection to my N97 mini was cutted off. This was maybe two weeks ago and I haven't been able to connect the phone to the laptop with PC suite connection form ever since (and no further updates available). I can sure connect with the Ovi Music in other connection forms and store the music to my phone but any connections with the Ovi Suite fails. There for I cannot sync my photoes or address book or get the new updates by my computer. What could I do to get the connection back? Install an older version again? Where to get one?
    Today I checked the program updates with my phone application and there is software version 12.0.110 available to upload. Well, my phone does offer for other updates to "start to update" but this one gives only option to "update via computer" (sorry I don't know the exact terms for the option written in the quotes since I use my Nokia in Finnish ). How could I get the updates to my phone via computer when I cannot connect with the Ovi Suite anymore??
    I really hope anyone have had the same problem (it's really irritating) and still hopefully wait for some answers...
    Any help sincerely appreciated!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Unfortunately there is no easy solution to this one as it is probably de to the installation of the Ovi Suite update on your laptop.
    The first thing you could try is to uninstall and reinstall Ovi Suite. You could also try using the PCsuite cleaner which should ensure that the previous installation is properly removed before reinstalling.

  • File sharing between mac mini and iMac

    can I share files on my iMac with the Mac Mini wirelessly so I can view them on my HDTV without transferring files to an external hard drive and then connecting the hard drive to the Mac Mini? Or better yet, can I use the Mac Mini to mirror my iMac so I can work on the iMac from the comfort of my recliner in front of the big screen?

    The short answer is "yes." 
    You will need to enable file sharing.
    When you open the finder on the mini you should see your iMac listed under "Shared" on the left hand side.  When you click on it you will initially see just the public folders.  If you open one all you will see is the drop box.  To get to your files on the iMac click on the "Connect As..." button on the upper right of the finder window.  Log on with your iMac user/password.  Now open your public folder and all your files will be available.

  • Can I seamlessly toggle Apple TV between Mac Mini and Iphone / iPad?

    I am having a Mac Mini, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. Currently i am using 2 HDMI cables 1 between TV and Mac Mini and 2nd between TV and Apple TV. Seems like If i toggle between iPad / iPhone display via apple TV and Mac Mini display via apple TV; it becomes an issue.
    Can I seamlessly toggle Apple TV between Mac Mini and iPhone / iPad?
    Regards,
    Mahendra Panchal.

    Seems like If i toggle between iPad / iPhone display via apple TV and Mac Mini display via apple TV;
    Toggle how?  What are you doing?  Why do you have the MacMini connected to the TV?  That is the whole point of AppleTV.  It is a simple way ( in therory ) to get your content to your TV without having to plug your computer in to your TV.
    it becomes an issue.
    What does?  What is the issue?  What specifically fails or does not work?

  • Wireless connection lost between my router and printer (hp officejet 4620)

    My hp officejet 4620 printer has been working fine but now the wireless connection has been lost and I can't get the wireless connection back. The blue light for the wifi flashes blue. I can't get the connection back between the router and the printer because my wifi is actually working fine with my laptop. Any suggestions about what i can do to get the connection back so I can print again?
    Is it something I need to do on the printer screen or laptop to fix the problem?

    Have you powered off everything and power up again?  Power off printer and router.  Power on router and wait 2 mins.  Power up printer and see if it connects to your SSID.

  • I store my itunes library on an external drive shared between 2 computers and itunes on computer A isn't seeing or showing the songs I added using itunes on computer B.

    I store my itunes library on an external drive shared between 2 computers and itunes on computer A isn't seeing or showing the songs I added using itunes on computer B. How to fix this?

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • I cannot connect my I pad mini and iPhone using Bluetooth.

    I cannot connect my I pad mini and iPhone using Bluetooth.

    I'm not sure what made you think that that was not what Regal trail was asking... I am having the same problem and wish that that question had been answered! I believe I've gone through the same steps that used to work, to no avail now. But I'm betting that you (Chris) have the answer to this!
    In a nutshell: I'm trying to share my iPhone's cellular connection with my WiFi-only iPad Mini, using a Bluetooth connection. I used to do this regularly, but went for a period of time without the need for it, and so am hard pressed now to identify which thing that might have changed during the interim would have made it no longer work.
    iPhone is connected to internet via cellular data (AT&T LTE). Bluetooth is on. Personal Hotspot is on.
    On iPad, Bluetooth is on. My iPhone shows up in the list under My Devices, and I can select it, and it will connect for approximately 5 seconds. The shared connection icon shows up on the iPad. The iPhone (on the Bluetooth screen) shows, for those 5 seconds, that the iPad is connected, but the shared connection status bar never shows up on the iPhone.
    After 5 seconds, it disconnects.
    Thoughts? Need more info? Let me know! Thanks.

  • My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    There are several possible causes for this problem.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. See also this support article.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

  • File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
    1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
    2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

  • Can I use home sharing between my iPhone and iPad? Or do I need to use a computer?

    I want to use home sharing between my iPhone and Ipad. So I can use the remote app. But I can't get it to work

    You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
    On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.
