How to use internet sharing and airtunes?

Question? how to use internet sharing and airtunes?
OK I have following working separate situations.
1. I can share my internet connection : is a router to ethernet cable into mac. Then over airport built in to my iMac ....... to other wireless computers, iphone etc...works fine.
2. the I have a air port express that is only used for air tunes. I guess i had create a separate network for that. can select that in iTunes. Works.
problem is can not use both at the same time!
OK so Now I would like to combine the two; share the ethernet over airport on mac and send music to air port express....
the main reason for this is cause I now have an iPhone and want to use the internet and the remote app to control iTunes from all over the house.
I have not the first idea where to start.
Any hints or tips will be greatly appreciated.

The airport express is a router. And, only one router can be used to obtain an IP address. So in your airport express configuration set it so it does not obtain an IP address.

Internet Sharing and AirTunes at the Same Time?

I've seen similar posts on this question, but none exactly on. I think I have a fairly basic situation.
I'm using my G5 as a base station to broadcast Airtunes to another room. G5 is connected to the Internet via cable modem. Using Airport Express as receiver.
Now, I just bought a powerbook and want to use the G5 for wireless internet access by the PB. But when I turn on internet sharing on the G5, it seems to cut off/shut down the airtunes network. Airport icon looks quite different. Conversely, when I get the airtunes working, the sharing can't be turned on.
Anyway to sort this out so that I can run both at the same time?
thanks

I believe, in theory, you should be able to do this. I am assuming from your description the G5 is connected, via Ethernet, to the cable modem and you want to use Internet Sharing to use it's wireless to commuicate with both the AX and the PowerBook. I think if you set up Internet Sharing and add the AX as a "wireless client" this may just work.
Let's double-check your settings...
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
Enable Software Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac_#1 > (wireless) > Mac_#2
Setup Port Order
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection
System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
- To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- AirPort Options
-- Network Name: <anything you want>
-- Channel: Automatic
-- Enable encryption (using WEP) (optional)
-- Password: (optional)
-- Confirm Password: (optional)
-- WEP Key Length: (optional)
-- Click OK
- Click Start
To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select the Internet Sharing wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

How can I use Internet Sharing with Firewall on ?

Hi,
My PowerMac G5 is connected to the internet via Ethernet. I share the connection to a Powerboog via Airport using internet sharing. Everything is working fine except when I turn the Firewall on. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107653 I tried opening port 443 but it still does'nt work. I'd like to be able to use internet sharing with the firewall on. Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

Hmmm, how curious... I never had to do that in 10.4.7 or 10.4.8... the only ones I ever tried Internet Sharing with.
I'm wondering if turning the Firewall on after the Internet sharing is what's doing it? Just for kicks you might try turning off Internet Sharing, then Firewall on, then turn on Internet Sharing.
If that doesn't work, then I'd personally try trashing...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Then reboot and try the Firewall again.

How do I use internet sharing from my MacBook Pro (static IP, only one DNS server) to my iPod Touch?

Hey,
   I'm connecting to the net using an Ethernet cable to my MacBook with the following network settings.
IP Address: 192.168.y.{0-250}
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.y.x (where 'y' is the same number as in the IP address)
DNS Server: 192.168.99.3
Apologies if I'm being unclear; not sure how much information it's OK to share publicly.
   I then turn on Airport and Internet Sharing, and look for my wireless network with my 4th generation iPod Touch. However, the network appears erratically. I sometimes have to wait for a minute or two and keep refreshing before it appears on my iTouch. When I try to connect it just says 'Failed to connect to the network'.
   I've followed all the steps in this article with several variations to no avail.
http://lightyearsoftware.com/2010/06/how-to-set-up-internet-sharing-on-mac-os-x/
   Can anyone suggest a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been banging my head against this for days.

On the advice of a friend I installed and ran a program on my MacBook called 'IPSecuritas'. This has stopped my wireless network from appearing and disappearing, but I still can't connect. Would really appreciate some help with this.

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 internet sharing to give internet to my Apple TV through my Macbook and use Airplay on the same computer at the same time?

So I am using internet sharing from my Macbook to my Apple TV. The router providing internet to my Macbook has an ip address that looks like 192.168.0.x. Since the internet sharing feature assigns an ip address that looks like 192.168.2.x to my Apple TV, the Macbook is unable to see the Apple TV ("different" networks). Is there a way around this so I can share internet and still be able to use Airplay between the two?
BTW I am using a Macbook Pro Retina 15'' (late 2013) on Mavericks 10.9.1 and Apple TV 3.
Thanks.

Why are you tyring to spilt your connection though the MBP? Why don't you just connect them both to the router as they are meant to be setup?

I try to use "internet sharing" with my iphone, ipod, iPad, etc. and none of them work. Any step by step ways to help? Or advice?

I researched various youtube videos, websites, etc. and none of them work. Are other apple products really not compatible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing, and turn it off by unmarking Internet Sharing in the System Preferences sidebar. Then, make sure you are connecting the Mac to the Internet by Ethernet or FireWire, and then, share your Internet connection by Wi-Fi by marking Wi-Fi. Finally, tick Internet Sharing in the sidebar.
In your devices, open Settings > Wi-Fi, and select your MacBook's connection. You can't use Bluetooth to share the connection

Can't figure out how to use home sharing

Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!

The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
Thanks for the help.

Internet Sharing and Firewall

I am having a difficult time using internet sharing to download files and access email using Mail. I can go online with my browser, but other services like Mail and downloading files doesn't seem to work.
I feel like this is a firewall issue. Can someone tell me how to configure my firewall settings to work better with Internet Sharing?
I am using a G5 Mac to Internet Share to my MacBook via Airport.
Thanks for your help.

If you need help opening the right port in the Shaing
Pref Pane... give a hollar.:-)
Maybe you can help me? I tried to set up new openings in the Firewall pane, but it didn't seem to do anything. Am I in the wrong place? I did this on the mini that is doing the sharing. I selected "new..." and typed 110, 25 in the TCP field.
(I first noticed the "browser ok / mail not ok" issue when using Parallels, and then saw the same with Mail in OS X. Connecting directly to an Airport Express works fine, so it looks like it's the sharing.)

Internet Sharing and machinename.local

Hi! I've recently set up my Mac mini (10.4.6) to run Internet Sharing, and ethernet connections to any laptop I connect works beautifully. (For exactly what I did to get this set up, visit http://www.aleph0.com/computing/macosx/dhcp-setup/ , but nothing there is really beyond the basics you might expect.)
One tiny feature I don't have working is the ability to connect the "internal" computer and the mini using aliases---only IPs are possible. For instance, the "Sharing" panel suggests other computers can connect to the mini as "natalie.local"; similarly, when I connect a Windows laptop named "will" to the mini, /var/db/dhcpd_leases even shows it's connected as will---but I can't connect from one to the other using those names. (i.e., via http---both are running web servers---or via sftp---both are running sshs as well), while connecting with the numerical IPs works fine.
So after that ramble, I wouldn't be surprised if "natalie.local" is really only suppose to work with AFP, and will with SMB, but thought I'd ask for suggestions. I've considered playing with DNS on OS X to work on such a possibility, but I thought I'd ask first....
Thanks for any pointers!

Mac mini (Original) Mac OS X (10.4.6) Running Internet Sharing (connected to Internet via AirPort, "internal" via ethernet)

Otherwise run your own dns server on your LAN.
This is what I expected to have to do on the mini---I have a DNS server, but the mini with Internet Sharing doesn't send any information to it; that's what I'd like to figure out how to do. Perhaps stepping back and stating the basics of what I'd like would help:
I have a mini running 10.4.6 (natalie), connected (via the rest of my home LAN) to the Internet via AirPort, and the ethernet jack is unused. I'd like to connect a laptop (will) (that uses DHCP, but OS- and software-unspecified) via ethernet to the mini, access the Internet, and allow the two machines to address one another as "natalie" and "will" (or "natalie.local" and "will.local", etc.) for TCP/IP commands, instead of "192.168.2.1" and whatever address is assigned to will. This works after installing Bonjour on will, but I'd like to not have to install Bonjour on the laptop (specifically, I'd like to connect any random laptop that can use DHCP).
Am I wrong in thinking there should be a way for natalie to "take over" this portion of the DNS, or at least update my LAN's DNS server so that the process is still seamless for will?
Thanks again,
CDJ

UTorrent, Internet Sharing and Port Forwarding: Horrid Trifecta

Every good question has a couple of miles of back story, so here it comes:
I bought a Windows PC recently, and one of the first programs I downloaded was uTorrent. I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.8, but I have no wireless router, so I thought I would use internet sharing to get my new laptop off the ground. Everything connects great, internet sharing is wonderful on the web, but then I use uTorrent and notice that I'm uploading at nearly 3 times the speed I'm downloading, even when I only have 12kb of a file. I then notice the small icon at the bottom of the application that looks like a warning flag that my computer is confused, and I figure out that the problem is my new laptop has no ears, or rather, no listening port through which uTorrent can increase the speed of my DOWNloads. Further searching reveals that the traffic on the appropriate port is not getting through, hence I try to figure out how to manipulate internet sharing into forwarding the appropriate port range. I found Brickhouse, or as it is now known, Flying Buttress, but the program is remarkably confusing (to be perfectly honest, I'm not that bright). I cannot get FB to forward the port, no matter how hard I tried (every time I clicked Start IP Sharing, the it wouldn't work). So I can't use FB. I thought I would be clever and create a network on my Windows PC and share it with my iBook, but apparently my iBook refuses to share the Windows internet.
So now I am stuck trying to figure out how to get this Windows PC to receive traffic on TCP/UDP ports 10000-65535 through my Mac. To be honest, I really thought that the Mac would easily be able to forward the ports (is this in store for Leopard?), and I was a little disappointed the whole thing was so frustrating, but then I tried to setup an ad-hoc network on the Windows PC and realized that my Mac is still FAR easier to use, despite is insufficiencies.
So, long story short, I need help forwarding ports through internet sharing. If you can help me use FB, that's great, but to be honest, I would like a cleaner solution if possible. So my question is: How do I get my Mac to share port traffic with Windows if it is running internet sharing?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Other Computer: Windows XP, other specs available on request

I was hoping more for a permanent solution that doesn't cost $100. Did I mention I'm in China? That program seems great and all, but I have the same technical difficulties I've had with FB. I can get the thing running and still have an internet connection on my machine, however, the port mapping or port forwarding or whatever you wish to call it doesn't actually work. These programs make it very difficult to understand what's going on; I checked the IP Address on my windows machine and used it as the actual address for the port I wanted to forward, I applied the settings and absolutely nothing changed on the windows machine. I went to portforward.com to check if the port was forwarded properly and still no response. This will sound stupid, but when I hook up the windows machine to the router through ethernet, it works perfectly, no forwarding required, so it is essentially my mac that is blocking or absorbing the intended traffic, but if I hook up the windows machine to the router, I have no internet for my Mac (I'm not sure if that's a problem with my Mac or with ICS). Can you explain to me how to use this program to forward ONE port, and ONLY forward one port (or a range of ports would be even better) without all of its inane firewalling that blocks all the internet traffic? Or am I just hopeless on this issue?

Using internet sharing in other countries

Hello,
I've bought a HTC 8X unlocked cellphone from Verizon and moved to Brazil since them.
How can I use internet sharing here? The cellphone says it's not allowed, although my internet plan here does allow me to do that.
It seems besides being an unlocked phone, Verizon is still locking the internet sharing option.
Any help is really appreciated,
Cheers,
André

The answer is not really, but sort of.
If you have a US mailing address, a credit card that bills to that address, and a US Social Security Number, you can purchase and activate an iPhone in the US. The problem is that the phone is locked to AT&T as the mobile provider, so when you go to those countries, you will be roaming, which is expensive for calls and outlandishly expensive for data. You will not be able to inset a SIM card from a local mobile provider; it will not work. Also, AT&T may cancel you for roaming too much.
A fair number of people outside the US (and inside as well) appear to have purchased iPhones and hacked them so that they can be used as an iPod and WiFi device but not as a phone. I think those in other countries are hoping that someday they will be able to use the phone features in their country, though it is not certain that will ever be the case.

Slow access to local WebServer using Internet Sharing

Hi,
I have a MacPro with a WLAN. Sometimes I use internet sharing to access the internet with my iPhone. When using the "Browse the Web" feature of Goodreader to access some files on my MacPro it took very long until I get a directory listing on the iPad (only a dew files and folder). The other Way aroung (using the Goodreader intergrate WebServer an access this from my desktop is quite fast.
The desktop has an IP Number 192.168.1.2 the iPad someting with 10.xx.xx.xx. Putting the into the same ip number schema (using a wieeless router) works fine in both directions.
Any idea why the server is so slow?
Leif

Hi,
I don't know if any of you came up with an answer to this problem, because I have the exact same problem.
I use version 5.0.01.0600 of the VPN Client. Windows Explorer hangs for a couple of seconds and then works fine for a couple of seconds and then hangs for a couple of seconds, etc. When logged on in Windows XP with a user with administrator rights this problem doesn't occur. Only when logged on with a Restricted user (Users Group) does this problem occur.
Hoping you can help,
Jeroen
