E51 WiFi internet sharing via bluetooth

I have E51 with established wifi conection to internet. Is it possible to share this internet connection with PDA (w/o wifi) via bluetooth ?

I'm afraid not.
You might have better luck buying a bluetooth adapter for your computer (if you don't already have one) and looking for software that will allow your computer to share its Internet access over the bluetooth connection.

Windows 7 wont connect to Lion Internet Sharing via Wifi

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 15" with i7. I know the internet sharing feature works, because I used the wifi internet sharing with a Macbook Air and that worked fine. But when I try to connect from a Windows 7 Ultimate laptop, the connection cannot be established. I tried:
Changing the Wireless Name
Changing the encryption key
Tried no encryption key
Rebooted
Am I missing someting? Am I correct to assume that the built in internet sharing allows you to connect your devices to macbook pro as a router? I appreciate your assistance, thanks!

Same here.
I have all my machines (rather HAD) connected to the internet via a shared single connection through a 3G dongle (welcome to the countryside). I made the mistake of upgrading my machine to Lion only to realise a couple of days later that all the other machines had been starved of internet access.
Now only my main machine has access, even though according to all of my thousands worth of apple gear the green lights are on and all is ok. The Airport extreme says it's connected, its lying. The Timecapsule says its connected, its lying. The Mac mini says its connected, its actually admits there is a problem when you run the network diagnostics. Same for our macbook pro. At least the Windows machine says it's connected but no internet.
This is pathetic as apple have know there was an issue since june last year. Once more I get the feeliing Apple couldn't give a fiddlers'. Most likely greedily eyeing the forthcoming cash bonanza from the ipad 3.

Internet sharing via dongle, how to set password for wifi network created?

I am using a USB dongle with my Mac book Pro to share internet through AirPort, so that i can access my mac book's wifi from my iphone. This works great, but it is an open network and I woud like to set up a password.
If anyone can point me in the direction I would be very grateful!
Thanks

If you are using OS X's Internet Sharing feature, then you can configure wireless security on your Mac's internal AirPort Card but are limited by the OS X version that you are using. It was not until Mountain Lion that Apple provided WPA2 security. Prior to this only WEP was available.
You configure Internet Sharing via System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing. (I don't have 10.6.x on any of my Macs so this may be different for your case.) Once you configure what is shared, you can then add wireless encryption.

Internet sharing via airport doesn´t work

Hello to everybody,
my problem is, when I do internet sharing via Airport on my imac (OSX 10.6.8) so I can use my ipad for surfing. The connection establishes for a short time and then it breaks down. Once in a while I can reconnect, but it´s constantly breaking.
I know, this problem is posted a million times, but it still seems not to be solved (or I didn´t find the right thread with the solution).
Bthw. I phoned the apple support. They wanted to charge € 49,--. Now I´m quite mad at apple. This *****. They are having a problem with their software and they want to charge me? That´s incredible. I can´t understand what´s the hype about apple. Such an awfull bad support they´re giving (or not giving at all).

OK. To your information. Today I tried the following: I switched off and on internet sharing twice after boot and voila, wifi seems to work fine. Yeah, that´s what I call a sophisticated computer system. Really crappy stuff!

Screen-Sharing and Internet-Sharing via same network connection

Hello out there,
I'm using a TiBook (G4 867MHz) and a MacBook Pro 17". They are connected via a WLAN-router. Additionally the MBP is connected to the internet via an UMTS-connection established with a Merlin 870XU type PC-card.
Network is working fine, including screen-sharing. Also the internet connection on MBP works without error. But if I activate Internet-Sharing via WLAN to get my TiBook connected to the internet, the MBP connection to the WLAN is cut off.
Can somebody tell me what's going wrong and how to solve it?

File sharing via bluetooth

How do I share files with other mobiles and with my PC using the bluetooth. When I try to send a browse my blackberry or send files from my Mac, I receive a message indicating "the device does not have the necessary services."

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
Cheers,
Vivek

Hi.
I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
Many Thanks.
My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

VMWare Fusion causes WiFi Internet Sharing failure

I have found the solution to my issue with WiFi Internet Sharing.
Remove VMWare Fusion.
Reboot.
I do not have any paid support plan with them, so I have no way to properly let them know about the bug, but maybe one of you does?
Version I have is VMWare Fusion 2.0.5-173382

Because HERE is where there are dozens of people with the problem? I thought the solution I found might be at least slightly interesting to those people who cannot use their WiFi.
I have emailed VMWare. But to actually submit a bug to them you have to have a paid support plan, which I am just too cheap to buy. I am content to wait until they fix it, as I can use Parallels or Boot Camp for my modest cross-platform needs.

Internet Sharing via USB Wifi Dongle?

I just acquired a first gen Mini (1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM) with no Airport built in. I was able to add wireless to it via a Ralink 802.11n USB dongle. Here's my question:
Can I connect the Mini to the internet via ethernet and then use the USB dongle to share the connection with other Macs in my house?
I currently have an old PowerMac G4 acting as a server/wireless router. (Ethernet in to give it a real IP address for easy access from anywhere. Airport out to give internet access to my MacBook Pro.) It's a great setup, and serves me well (no pun intended), but if I could get the Mini to take its place, it would save me room.
Anyone know how to get one of these USB Wifi dongles to share out internets?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
SJ (no, not that SJ)

Can I connect the Mini to the internet via ethernet and then use the USB dongle to share the connection with other Macs in my house?
I don't have a USB wireless adapter, but I believe in order for this to work, you would have to be able to select it when attempting to configure Internet Sharing.
Does this USB adapter show up in the list of network devices under the Network panel in System Preferences? If it does, go to the Sharing panel. From this panel, select Internet Sharing; choose the USB adapter for the "Share your connection from" list, and then, choose "To computers using" = "Ethernet."

IPhone - OSX 10.5.6 internet sharing via wifi has packet loss

I try to access the web on the iPhone (for testing purposes) via the bult-in internet sharing capability of my MacBookPro via WiFi. I get very slow connections and high packet loss on distances of less than a foot.
If I activate Internet sharing (eth0 - AirPort) I have packet loss of up to 80% on a Ping to the iPhone. This results in an unusable connection. In this case the iPhone gets a DHCP address from the DSL box (10.0.2.2). Pay attention to the HUGE standard deviation of the packets in case of the internet sharing!!
If anyone has config hints, I appreciate that very much. Does anyone know how to bridge en0 to Airport with WEP enabled?
Internet sharing activated:
--- 10.0.2.2 ping statistics ---
202 packets transmitted, 150 packets received, 25% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 18.312/1768.538/8198.289/2201.202 ms
If I set up a Computer-Computer network with a WEP password I get no packet loss, but of course I cannot access the internet that way because there is no way in preferences to bridge the networks.
--- 169.254.246.154 ping statistics ---
443 packets transmitted, 442 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.441/1.983/57.068/2.691 ms

I accidentally found a workaround:
1. Activate internet sharing
2. Goto network preferences and use AirPort: "Create network ..."
3. Check require Password and create a C2C network
4. The Airport Icon changes from the up-arrow to the computer icon
5. Connect with the iPhone.
Packet loss is gone and sharing works fine.
BIG BUG: Procedure has to be repeated every time AirPort is turned on/off, as Internet Sharing disables/resets the airport setup!

Internet sharing via smartphone with USB

Hi,
I would like to use my smartphone HTC S730 which has a flat fee 3G internet connection to act as modem for my MacBookPro. This way I don't need a seperate datacard for my laptop and, when using USB my smartphone's battery is charged too.
BUT, Leopard > system preferences > internet sharing doesn't show USB (or Bluetooth) as option(s) for sharing. I have to choose Airport, Ethernet or Firewire. My smartphone cannot connect via one of these three options. iCentre store in Amsterdam couldn't answer my question. Any suggestions?
thanx,
Sam van Buuren.

You're not going about it correctly. You want to use your smart phone as a modem. You need set up System Preferences>Network not to use internet sharing. Contact the manufacturer and/or your service provider. You may need a modem script.

Internet sharing via airport woes

Hi,
apparantly an thunderstorm fried my ethernet-card in my MBP this morning. Now I am struggling to get internet-access via my iBook G3 which has DSL-boradband via ethernet (pPOE) (either via firewire or airport) but don't succeed:
1) file-sharing eithert via airport or ip over firewire works
2) I have set up my iBook to share internet via airport, enabled web sharing as HELP recommends.
Internet sharing nevertheless doesn't work for me: error message (in network-status) says (translated from German):
…Airport has self-assigned IP-Address and is maybe not able to connect to the internet.
I have used the built in settings, changed nithing manually. Any ideas?
Greetings,
Rolf

Pc & Laptop: How to share the internet connection via Bluetooth?

Hi,
I've recently bought a laptop and i'm having trouble figuring out how to share the internet via bluetooth from my desktop pc. I can connect using the Personal Area Network (PAN) but i'm not sure how to send the internet. whatever i've been told to try so far as all failed.
i'm sure this questions been asked quite alot, so i'm sorry to ask again)
could someone tell me a step by step setup?
(Thanks, It's much appreciated)

Hi
Its takes longer to describe the full installation how to use the BT for internet sharing.
I have found this website with a installation instruction for Windows 2000.
The dialogs for Windows XP might be a little different, but the configuration will be the same.
