How to share internet by wifi using wpa encryption or mac adress filtering ?

Hello, (and sorry for my English)
How can I share internet (from ethernet) to wifi, with a minimum of security : wpa encryption, mac adress filtering or hidden ssid ?
Thanks,
Vicx

If I understand your question, Internet Sharing doesn't support WPA, only WEP, which is essentially worthless.

How to share internet if the server connects to it via VPN?

Hi, mac brothers! Need your help.
I have a server with 2 ethernet cards (en0, en1). It connects to internet via VPN on en0. LAN clients connect to the server using en1. I can't share VPN internet connection to LAN %(. (tried to find the answer in the 10.4 server documentation, but there is nothing about it).
I know how to share internet connection when there is no VPN - direct connection via DSL modem...
Can you help me?
PS; 0S X Server 10.4.11

You need to use NAT and have the firewall running.
And then you need to use the VPN connection (PPTP?) "interface" (when connected), probably ppp0 - not en0, in your NAT config. This can be achieved by dragging the config (small symbol in lower right corner in NAT config in Server Admin) to the desktop, edit it (look for en0 and change it to ppp0), save it, and then drag it back into the NAT config window and save.
I think the VPN tunnel must be up before turning on NAT/firewall so if you reboot the server you might need to turn NAT/firewall off -> on to make it work again.
If the WAN/ppp0 IP is not static (so you can enter it in your server DNS) you probably will have trouble with many of OS X services running in the server.
Most OS X server installations using an Internet connection with a shifting public IP is better off by putting a NAT router which can do the in initial connection (by DHCP, PPTP, PPPoE, whatever), between it and the Internet.

How to share internet from mac to windows

Any one helps me how to share internet from mac to windows? I have created an internet sharing on macbook, a Mac can connect to internet, but windows pc can't connect with this sharing. I don't know why?

I am not a Windows guru. However, in XP there is a Wireless Network icon at the lower right side. Click on that, select the network you want to join, insert the password and that's it. Any issues speak to a Windows guru.

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.

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...

You just need to enter system preferences, open the tab share, and there you can choose the option "share internet". Then you select the way you want to do it and that's all.

How to share Internet connection from Leopard to iPhone 3G?

Hi!
How do you share Internet connection from Leopard to iPhone 3G?
So far I've managed to create a network and I joined my iPhone to the network. But when I turn on Internet Sharing from Leopard, iPhone's Safari won't use the connection. It either starts to use EDGE/3G or says that it isn't connected to the Internet...
What went wrong?

I have managed to get it work, but only when I completely turn my desktop computer's firewall off. To do this, select the Security icon in System Preferences, then click the Firewall tab. Next, select the 'Allow all incoming connections' option. I wish there was a way to configure individual ports so that I didn't have to leave my firewall wide open, but I haven't figured out how to do that so far.

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!

Internet disconnecting when using WPA

About 3 weeks ago my wireless connection started dropping on a regular basis. I would be on the web, and then i would not be able to access any pages. Everytime, I would have to power cycle the router and the wireless would reconnect....then about an hour later, same issue.
I contacted Verizon tech suppot and he could not connect to my router because I was using WPA for security instead of the default WEP. The tech told me that Verizon was trying to push out some updates or something and that they could not because I was not using THEIR recommended security settings of 64 bit WEP.....he said I would have to revert to WEP or I would continue to have problems.
I reverted back to WEP and have had no problems at all. Everytime I try to put WPA back, I have the same issue.
Anyone else having this issue?
Personally, if this is true, I'm not going to be very happy about this. So either the tech was an idiot or Verizon is being **bleep** by not allowing people to use a different security setting.

thats what i was thinking too. I'll have to check the setup for WPA, I have the Westell 9100 router, so I'm not sure it has the same setup as the ActionTec.
Thanks for the info. I'll check tonight/tomorrow and post my findings.
