Having trouble sharing internet connection to ethernet

Hello,
I am trying to have my internet (wlan0) shared across my ethernet connection. 
Is there a package on AUR that can do this?
Thanks in advance.

Check out this page. Although it explains how to share a internet conection via ethernet, I'm sure you'll be able to do that using wifi as well.

    Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5 OSX 10.4.11. Attempts to upgrade FireFox or Safari results in being incompatible with with this system. Tried to locate earlier versions to replace upgraded incompatible software only to find that problems have worsened with crashing results.

    Hi Chuck,
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
    Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.
    Also...
    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

  • Having problems sharing internet Connection from Macbook to Vonage Adapter

    Hello,
    I just got my Vonage adaptor and I am trying to share the Internet connection from my Macbook Pro (10.7.3) to the Adaptor to use the Vonage service bc my router is downstairs.
    I turned off my Firewall, hooked my Vonage adapter to the Macbook with the ethernet cable and then went to Sys Preferences > Sharing > Selected Internet Sharing > Share Connection from Wifi to computers using Ethernet, and it looks like everything is ok but when i try to use the phone which is connected to to Vonage Adapter, it says "Your Vonage device cannot connect to the internet, check to see if your high speed internet is down".
    I went and looked at my Network preferences and it shows Ethernet connected which is the Vonage Adapter and gives the following:
    IP Address: 169.254.163.167
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
    Is there something Im doing wrong? Ive seen on several forums that its possible to do but having bad luck. Any help is appreciated.

    All I know is that I got Ubuntu to share internet and offer IPs through DHCP by using Firestarter. I am very new to Solaris, however, and am looking forward to learning about it. I've just made it my regular desktop environment. Long as you can get Solaris to configure its network interface with DHCP after your Ubuntu is configured, you should be able to share to as many clients as you'd like. Fedora also works well for that, and in my opinion, it's a better Linux than Ubuntu, though Solaris remains a better Linux than Linux, right? Har.

  • Having trouble finding internet connection on computer

    I'm pretty technically unsavvy so forgive the laymens language - any help would be appreciated.
    trying to upgrade my phone/ and internet to cable and the cable guy is telling me that there's something wrong with my computer (of course). They are saying they do not see an internet ethernet connection. I used to use it for dial up I know it there and have Internet explorer on my desktop - can anyone help - the installation disk is fine until it gets to the network point then says having trouble connecting to your network -
    ibook - clamshell/blueberry/300 MHZ G3/512K/OS9.2   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Ok so I went home and checked the TCP/IP and it was on ethernet already. I also had an IP address, subnet mask, router, and a name server address - but no DHCP address.
    However, when I tried to install again (because I'm stubborn) I got this message: Could not renew your TCP/IP lease. An application on your mac is using your DHCP port (what is that?). Contact your network Administrator - who's that is that me- I'm the only one who uses the computer.
    Help again. thanks in advance.

  • I have a MacBook Air version 10.6.8.  2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.  I'm having trouble with internet connection.

    I have a Macbook Air 2.13 GHz 6MB, 2 GB memory and I'm having trouble getting connected to wifi or internet.  I've already checked the airport.  I've also verified the connection on the router.  I am still not successful in getting connected.

    Delete all the existing wireless networks you have stored in the MBA under the network setup of the wireless card.
    Power off the MBA and power on again and then rediscover the wireless..
    Any luck??
    If you still have issues.. more info.. what router are you using? How much wireless signal do you get? Can other devices connect and it is just the MBA that has trouble??

  • Anyone having trouble with internet connection after downloading mountain lion

    After installing Mountain lion to my mid 2011 imac 21" I am having trouble with my internet connection.  Anyone else have to deal with this?

    Are you on 10.8.2 as ypur profile says? If so, it's worth updating to 10.8.3 which was released last week.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
    Here's a link to some suggestions that helped some users with similar problems in Lion. May still be relevant to MLion. Also check the links within the article:

    Also when I had wifi problems in the past, creating a new network location resolved it:

    I've also seen threads where users with wifi problems have successfully solved them by changing the channel in the router's wifi settings.

  • Why am I having trouble with Internet connect?

    I have just set up a broadband connection using a USB modem on my phone line. I have to reconnect each time I wake the computer from Sleep as the Modem gets its power supply through the USB port. Sometimes it takes several attempts to establish a connection. I have checked the configuration (several times). Is the problem most likely to be:
    a) With Internet Connect ?
    b) With my ISP?
    C) With the modem?
    G4 ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    G4 ibook    

    My guess, the modem.
    It's probably taking some time for the USB modem to power up, perform its startup tests, load its configuration and be ready to respond to the network.
    It's one of the reasons I never recommend USB DSL routers.
    If the modem supports direct power (vs. being powered by the USB line) you can try using that - at least that way the modem won't power down and need to do its whole startup process again. Either that or replace the USB modem with an ethernet-based one that won't have this problem.

  • Since downloading and installing Lion, have been having trouble with internet connection. Are there settings that I need to adjust?

    Just installed Lion 10.7 ... having problems opening Safari and connectivity.  Have to reset modem, restart computer, etc.  It will be stable for awhile, then next time I log on, have to go through same things.  Is there a setting that I need to adjust?

    Also, I have already done the 10.7.1 update...come to think of it, the problem seems to have started after the update.  Any thoughts?

  • Having trouble accessing internet with new wireless WRT54...

    Having trouble accessing internet with new wireless WRT54G. Used easylink to read existing router BEFSR41 which works great to westell modem provided by Verizon. When connect new router Easylink configures WRT54G but when trying to connect to internet...fails. All lites indicate good. Not using wireless device yet, just the wired ethernet. Router set up as DHCP.
    I keep going back to old router and works great every time. Help! 

    Thanks for response, however I tried setting unit to 192.168.2.1 (leaving DHCP) to no avail. I put my old unit (BEFSR41) back in and I'm back up. I need to sit back and decide which way to go on this. Perhaps it's defective and I should return it.

  • Problems sharing internet connection over airport

    Hi everyone-
    I've researched the heck out of the forums and still cant figure out what's happening with my system. I've got a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.2. In previous OS versions (10.4) when I was successfully sharing my ethernet internet connection, the airport icon in the status bar showed a vertical "up" arrow, indicating that my connection was being shared.
    I'm trying to do the same thing in OS 10.5.2 but not succeeding in getting the same notification. I'm finding that when I access the "Sharing" folder under "System Preferences" and select "Share your internet connection from: ethernet" and "To computers using: Airport" that both settings grey out, the "Internet Sharing" button turns green and the status says "On", but no sharing occurs. I've checked using other wireless laptops and a wifi finder, but no signal from my MacBook is ever found.
    I've deleted my preferences folder to start fresh, no help. I've tried sharing from different ethernet sources, no help. It just feels like the problem is in the OS somewhere, not with the internet connection.
    Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    seems like i got the same issue as u and i just posted it:

  • Connecting to shared internet connection through Mac osx 10.7 wifi

    I can't get my new HP touch pad to connect to my wireless network. I connect my iMac through ethernet but have a wifi network setup from my iMac so my other devices can use my iMacs shared internet connection. The touchpad will not connect, it finds the network, I put in the WEP key and it states "unable to connect, try again". I am at the setup stage on the touch pad and can't get any further!!. I have tried everything I can think of including creating a new wireless network, disabling and changing the sharing password and re-enabling. all my other devices still log on fine and can connect to the internet through the iMacs connection. anyone got any ideas?

    I just remembered why I ignored your first post when reading this topic:
    Ad-hoc-sharing can't be the problem, because when I use the exact same method without any WEP encryption, so create an open network, it works perfectly - so it has to be an error in the webOS' handling of WEP or similar...
     I'm curious that the Mac offers only ASCII (key length of 5 characters) or 128 bit encryption, but not 64bit (which has a key length of 10 hexadecimal characters and works perfectly with my touchpad).  <Wiki definition of WEP.>
    This sounds like an old problem we used to have when Palm came out with WiFi-enabled devices. Users would create an ASCII text password in their router, and it would generate a 10 character hexadecimal string that was the true password.  Entering the 5-digit ASCII code would fail since it was a seed, and not the "real" code.. Entering the 10-digit key worked every time.
    By any chance is this what is occurring on the Mac? Do you see a 10 digit code generated anywhere in the setup routine?
    Was the link I provided to you of any help?

  • Is anyone having trouble with internet on the new macbook air and an old modem?

    Is anyone having trouble with internet on the new macbook air using an old modem?
    I live in NYC and have an old modem/router and keep getting kicked off the internet. I have time warner as my internet provider.

    Hello there adell723,
    I suggest taking a look at this article we have named Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US.
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
    If you have Mac OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion installed then I would recommend using Wireless Diagnostics tool which is on your computer already.
    Here is the article for it and how to use it to assist with wifi connectivity issues.

  • Anyone having trouble sharing large images via email with Aperture 3 and OSX 10.7.2?

    I am having trouble sharing images via email with Aperture 3. No matter what size I have in the preferences, the image is thumbnail size. The requested size flashes on the email a couple of times but the small size remains and is sent. I am using OSX 10.7.2. Any suggestions how I may send larger sizes?

    I have taught many how to use GUI-based computers.  The number of controls they are aware of on the screen always progresses, usually linearly with the amount of time they spend actively learning the GUI.  Beginners are totally flummoxed that windows can hide other windows.  A step beyond that, they are amazed that they can resize windows using the mouse cursor.  Those two are trivial to most users today, but they illustrate 1. that there is nothing "intuitive" about the GUI, and 2. that the amount one perceives is dependant on the amount one knows. IME, this has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with experience using a GUI.
    Here is a good hint:  if you are using a Mac and can't figure out how to do something, look for something to click.    If you find something that seems promising, try "{Option}+clicking".
    The interface is richer than any one person can master.  Frank's statement "most times we all fail to see everything " is, imho, _always_ true.  We never see everything, even in the grossly limited resolution of our computer screens.
