HT4199 Best wifi setting for Airplay when using Internet sharing from iMac?

My iPhone can't pair with my ATV-- maybe the wifi settings are not right? (They are both connected to same network)

WiFi IP address lost when activating internet sharing

iMac (24-inch, Early 2009)
I'm having troubles with sharing my wifi to internet.
Worked great untill today. Wifi IP address (reserved/dedicated address from DHCP Airport Extreme 192.168.0.4) disappeares when the Internet Sharing is activated. Wifi in Network turnes orange and notes that no IP address is available.
When the Internet Sharing is turned off, the DHCP connection seemes to restore and the normal IP address returns.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 are active and available on the network. IPv6 address lost also.
Did a complete rework of the Airport Extreme, complete rework of the iMac network environment, dumped all settings (trashed the config folder) rebooted modem, router, iMac in different order. Repeated everything with firewall off, tried again without encryption, no results.
Everything works great, except for the Internet share (over ethernet for devices using wifi).
DHCP / IP lost the moment the sharing is activated and restored the moment it is killed.
Anyone got any suggestion?

"Stuffed up" is not really a term we use much in networking. What did you actually do? Using what software? How are you connected to your local network, and how is that connected to the internet?
What happens if you use the Apple menu to access System Preferences/Network?

Monitor/mange users when using 'Internet Sharing'

Good day,
I use a HUAWEI USB key modem to connect to the internet with my MBA when in class. Since one of our lecture rooms is not covered on the campus wifi network I often turn on Internet Sharing in class and bridge my HSDPA connection to my classmates (Small class, I know them all).
Anyways today I wanting to monitor each user's usage as I caught one of my classmates downloading a 2GB file (I'm on an unlimited plan (soft cap of 40GB) so its not quota that I'm worried about, it just slowed the rest of us for the better part of an hour). Instead of being confrontational in class, and instead of booting everyone off the network I was wondering if anyone knew of a user management tool I could use to monitor those using the shared connection my notebook is broadcasting.
Many thanks!
Sam

I guess this question is bound for the depths of the apple discussion forum with all other thousands of unanswered questions.
Thanks for looking though

I've been having the same problem since iCloud appeared and complicated an otherwise trouble-free system. Doubling frustrating is that iCloud duplicates my .Mac account so I get two of everything in my Inbox. I turned off iCloud and now mail at least goes out but I can't delete the duplicate account.

Only thing I tried was changing the DNS ... but that s not related right ?

Powerline adapters use your home powerlines (mains a/c) to connect your devices via ethernet to your modem, they're easy to set up and the they TOTALLY fixed my ATV problem, the problem seems to be with the wireless. I've been trawling through apple discussions, and did found a workaround to my problem https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4222883?start=0&tstart=0
but its just a workaround :/

ITunes isn't showing up in the Devices list when using Internet Sharing.

Due to a neccessary relocation of my router, my two computers upstairs no longer have Internet Access (as neither have wireless capability). I am going to fix this issue soon by wiring in a new network to where the router is, but in the mean time I've simply been using my PowerBook G4 (running Leopard) as a Wireless access point. I simply plugged my two computers (via a hub) into my PB and turned on Internet Sharing.
Now, both of my computers (an iMac G3 running Tiger, and a Windows 7 computer) have Internet access fine. But neither of the two recognise my Apple TV now, which is connected to the router via WiFi. They both used to recognise the ATV and it would show up in devices fine, and the only thing that's changed now is the internet access is coming from the PB's sharing ability, since I did this both computer suddenly stopped seeing the ATV and I can no longer sync/connect. iTunes is up-to-date on all three computers (well except for the iMac which has an older version on it for obvious reasons).
The PowerBook on the other hand, does still see the ATV in iTunes. So I can only assume that for some reason the PowerBook is stopping the Apple Tv from being seen by the other two computers. Is there anyway I can fix this? Until I sort out a new network to my router which will take many months at the moment due to my own time constraints, this is the only way my two computers can connect to the ATV.

That's surprising Roger, because it was showing up in searches on iTunes and feedburner has a title that I inputted under that rss feed. Is there another way for me to add a title that I am missing? I have pasted the feedburner screen that I see when I login:

Ssh when using internet sharing

I have my Powerbook connect to the internet using my airport. I have set it to share the internet connection with an linux laptop through an ethernet connection.
The ip assigned to my powerbook for the airport connection is 192.168.1.3
The ip assigned to my linux laptop by my powerbook is 192.168.2.2
The laptop can access the internet no problem there. But I can't login to the laptop using the terminal on my powerbook using:
ssh -2 [email protected]
When a do a port scan of the laptop I can see port 22 used for the ssh connection so I can't understand why it won't work. Any ideas?

I am not an SSH expert by anymeans however the first step of troubleshooting a newtork problem is pinging the target machine.
Can you ping the linux box from your powerbook?
If so have you tried login into the linux box via SSH in verbose mode to see if that shows up any clues

Detect users when using Internet Sharing?

My wireless died months ago, so I've gone back to a wired ethernet connection for my TiBook. When my friends come to visit, I turn on my AirPort card and activate Internet Sharing. This all works well and good, with no tweaking necessary. Thank God for Apple, Inc.
The problem is, I would like to monitor who is using the internet connection. If my neighbors (I live in a condo) are leeching my access or, worse yet, attempting to hack my laptop, I would like to know about it. I can't find any app included in the OS to monitor such connections (which, btw, seems really insane, since this sharing functionality can be flipped on by clicking a single button). Any ideas on what software I should be using?
Thanks.

Nice try, but fails if they simply assign themselves a different network address, or if they get one from DHCP. No, since his laptop is now effectively the wireless access point and NAT routing device, the thing to do is check the arp cache. I'll bet there are third-party programs to do this, but being a homebrew kinda guy, I'd write a script like:
<pre>
#!/bin/bash -l
currarp=`arp -a`
if [ -f /tmp/arpcache ]
then
anychange=`echo "$currarp"|diff -q - /tmp/arpcache`
if [ "$anychange" ]
then
change=`echo "$currarp"|diff - /tmp/arpcache`
echo "someone new is on the network $change"|wall
echo "$change"|syslog -s
echo "$currarp" > /tmp/arpcache
fi
else
echo "$currarp" > /tmp/arpcache
fi
exit 0
</pre>
And then make it execute every minute with cron:
$crontab -e
(add a line to file with $EDITOR:)
* * * * * /path/to/script
And then as long as I've got a Terminal or xterm or other cli window up, I'll get a notification if there's any change on my network. Since my laptop is the access point, anybody connecting to the network is going to be in my arp cache, so we can examine that for any change.
It's not a pretty script, just whipped it up, but it should prove the concept.

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.

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?

What is the best Compressor setting for best quality video playback on an iBook g4?

I know the iBook and G4's in general are very outdated today, but I need to ask anyways. I have some video projects in 720p and 1080p in which I have down converted to 480p and also exported to MPEG-2 for DVD (personal wedding videos and videos made for my clients using Final Cut Studio). Anything encoded at most resolutions using h264 won't play on my iBook. Even 480p.
I have about 20 hours of mixed video content that I need it in a format that is suitable for an iPhone 4 and an iBook 12" with a 1.2GHz G4, 1.25GB RAM and I added a 250 WD 5400 IDE hard disk (running 10.5.8 and 10.4.11 for Classic Mode). I know the iBook doesn't seem like the best tool for modern video playback, but I need to figure out which setting will play best with iPhone 4 and iBook so I don't need to make 2 local copies of each video for each device.
The iBook plays best with the original DVD output MPEG-2 file and playing back in QT Pro or VLC... but I already have 180 GB's of MPEG-2 files now and my little HD is almost full. I don't have enough room to convert all the iPhone 4 counterparts. If I use Compressor 3.5.3, what is the optimal setting for iBook and iPhone .m4v or .mp4 files that can play on both devices? So far 720x400-480 widescreen videos @ 29fps works great on my iPhone, Apple TV 2, and other computers but seems to murder my poor iBook if encoded with high profile (and still choppy on simple profiles). 640x480 (adding black matte bars to my videos) plays fine in MPEG-2 but drops frames or goes to black screen if I convert it to mp4 (and looks bad on the iPhone 4 because of the matte). But if I convert on any of the simple profiles, it looks terrible on my iPhone 4 and a blocky on the iBook.
This is the problem leading me to having 2 copies of each video and eating my hard disk space. What is the best video setting for both playback on the iBook and iPhone 4? Can the iBook playback H264 at all in decent resolutionsat all? I don't really want to have a 480p .m4v collection for the iPhone 4 and a MPEG-2 RAW collection just to play the same videos on the iBook.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?
