Imac to ipod internet sharing

I'm trying to share my cable internet connection to an ipod touch via wifi. The ipod can connect but then can't access internet services. Anyone can help me about this?

I just disabled the Firewall, so now my iPad has full ajusted WiFi settings, and a WiFi icon (before there wasn't anything) in the statusbar, but if I go to Safari, the page loads indefinitely and in the Activity Monitor, on the Mac, there is no internet trafic.

  • IMac 10.8 Internet sharing stopped working after upgrade from 10.7

    My iMac 27 (10.7) with Internet Sharing enabled has been working perfectly since last year. After upgrading to 10.8, I noticed the up arrow flashes and goes to regular WiFi mode. Stopping/starting the service causes the up arrow to flash again and immediately default to WiFi. I removed Ethernet and WiFi options from Network settings and re-installed which solved the Internet sharing from flashing and defaulting to WiFi mode. However, connecting to the Internet sharing from other devices (iphone/ipad) does not work and will not connect to the internet. On the iMac, I'm able to browse the Internet without issues.
    If I disconnect the Ethernet cable and plug into either my MacBook or MacBook Pro and enable Internet sharing, everything works perfectly and all my other devices can use the Internet.
    Now sure how to further troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I should add that the iMac is running Mac OS X Server which was also upgraded to 10.8. I was looking inside the Server for security options that restricted internet access via Internet sharing. Nothing.
    Thank you!
    David

    Thanks for your answer.
    Unfortunately this isn't a solution for my problem. As I understood, you showed me that your IP addresses had changed after enabling/disabling internet sharing. I checked my IP addresses after enabling/disabling internet sharing by using "ifconfig" but they are the same as set manually before.
    My other strange observation regarding the ping command has gone now. After switching on internet sharing I had to disconnect the ethernet cable and plug it in again. Then the ping between both computers is working (but still not internet sharing).
    Anyway ... thanks for your help!

  • If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo.  When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.

    If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo.  When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.  I just bought the Airport Express and it's not clear how I should set up my System Preferences for Sharing.  Thx

    Yes. Unfortunately the stereo is too far from the wired ethernet connection   My iMac is connected to the internet using an ethernet cable from the DSL modem (plugged into the wall, not wireless).  The Airport Express is plugged into an outlet 25' away from the iMac and connected to my speakers.  I've turned on the iMac Airport wireless Internet Sharing, hoping to stream iTunes to the Express connected to the stereo.  The iMac Airport picks up several neighborhood networks so I know it's working (and I connected my iPhone wifi to it just to check as well).
    When I use Airport Utility to set up the Express, the only time Utility recognizes the Express is when the iMac Airport is off.  When I turn on the iMac Airport, the Airport Utility immediately loses the Express and asks to rescan.
    Maybe that explains my problem better.

  • AT&T microcell and internet sharing

    I have an Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem, with an iMac 10.6 connected though the Airport. I just got an AT&T microcell which normally connects to the Airport ethernet port giving me better iPhone calling. I want to instead connect the microcell to the iMac ethernet with internet sharing enabled, through this ethernet port. The microcell doesn't like this, ethernet connection light just blinks and the network cp ethernet port says Self-Assigned IP. Can I make this configuration work somehow?

    It won't work that way. The Microcell needs a wired connection all the way back to the router.

  • Internet Sharing - no email

    Hi,
    I have an intel imac and have had no problems checking/sending mail using an airport extreme base station as my home router. For various reasons I had to stop using the airport extreme and create an airport computer 2 computer network from an olg g4 imac, and use internet sharing. Now I can check my emails on the host g4 computer but not on my new Imac. It appears that mail thinks I have no internet connection, even though safari works perfectly fine. Is this a known bug or can I do something about it?
    Cheers

  • IMac internet sharing failing to connect to my Blu-Ray disk player.

    I have a Late 2009 iMac 27-inch. I have setup internet sharing through wifi. All of my iPods, iPads, iPhones connect just fine. But when I try to connect my Blu-Ray disk player, it gives me a timeout error. It is a Panasonic DMP-BD87P-K. I have called Panasonic, but they didn't offer to many things.

    Internet Sharing is clearly working. The only options you can configure are the type of security and the channel. If changing those doesn't help, then either the device is too far away, or it's incompatible.

  • Imac internet sharing ethernet - time capsule - wireless client use imac

    hi all,

    a g5 imac with 3g modem attached and internet sharing (3g/ethernet) switched on. with an ethernet cable it is connected to a time capsule. through the wireless option of the time capsule i want to be able to use the imacs internet sharing with two macbooks - its not working ....

    what went wrong? how to set up the time capsule to allow the internet sharing coming from a wired mac to wireless clients macbooks?
    or is this not working at all???

    If you configure your Mac to share an ethernet internet connection over AirPort, your G-devices should have no problem connecting. We do it here with iPods and an iPhone, they are G.
    My Mac mini is connected to the internet by Ethernet cable to my ISP's Arris gateway. I am sharing the Ethernet connection to two iPod Touches and an iPhone via AirPort from my Mac mini. This is how I configured the Mac to share the connection;
    1. In Sys Prefs/Sharing I highlighted Internet Sharing (do not check the box)
    2. Share your connection from: Ethernet (from the dropdown menu)
    3. To computers using: AirPort (check the little box)
    4. Press the button AirPort Options...
    5. Name your Network
    6. I use Automatic for the channel
    7. I encrypt my network using a 40-bit WEP key
    8. *For a non-Apple device you must use only a 5 alphanumeric character, 40-bit WEP password or only a 13 alphanumeric character 128-bit WEP password*
    9. Press OK
    10. Check the box for Internet Sharing
    11. Answer any dialog boxes that pop up

  • IMac Internet Sharing Wireless - G

    Hey guys, I was wondering if I could somehow make my iMac's built in airport card emit a wireless-g signal for the internet sharing. That way I can use my windows desktop to connect via wifi with a wireless g adapter.
    Thanks

  • Roku with iMac internet sharing

    I have an iMac and can use internet sharing to get my ipod touch online wirelessly. I assume that the iMac sets up a wireless network. But, my Roku can not access the internet wirelessly through the iMac wireless network. Why?

    If you open the Sharing Pane in System Preferences and try to enable Internet Sharing, you will note that the options for " To computers using..." are for computers - that answers your question re. Macbooks. I don't have a technical answer for your question regarding iPods, but I am guessing that their Airport card simply "talks" to the iMac's Airport card.
    Even AppleTV requires a wireless router and so does the Roku; below are several Apple articles with some helpful information (and explained in a much better way than I could):
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8156.html
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8292.html
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3821
    On this one, especially this section:
    +This icon will appear if you create a wireless network between two or more AirPort-enabled computers without using an AirPort Base Station. Other AirPort-enabled computers within range can join the network you created by choosing it from their AirPort status icon, or by choosing it from the Network Name pop-up menu in the AirPort pane of Network preferences.+

  • Internet sharing + iMac + pc = problems

    I share my internet connection using the built-in airport on the iMac. Everything works fine, I can connnect to the internet in my iPod touch with no problems. But, yesterday I needed to connect a pc laptop (windows xp) to the internet and it couldn't detect my network. I could access it on the touch but not on the pc. I use WEP 40 bit.
    Any idea on why this happened or how to solve it???

    I had exactly the same problem and just found a solution that works for me. See: http://echeng.com/journal/2009/07/06/encrypted-internet-sharing-between-mac-os-a nd-windows-xp/
    Specifically, step 4 and 6 are crucial!:
    1. In Mac OS X, enable Internet Sharing to computers using Airport
    2. In AirPort Options, select 128-bit WEP encryption and enter a 13-character password
    3. In Windows, add a new wireless network
    4. Enter the SSID and select WEP encryption with Shared Network Authentication (not Open)
    5. Uncheck “The key is provided automatically” and enter the 13-character password
    6. In the Authentication tab, be sure that “Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication” is unchecked
    Hope that helps you!

  • 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.

  • Internet sharing: iMac and G4 PPC Dual Mirror Door via firewire, fire sharing works fine with this set up now need internet sharing

    I have already set up file sharing thanks to a query last year, now I need to set up internet sharing, I am using a firewire connection and my ISP has confirmed that their should be not problem in internet sharing between my iMac and my G4 PPC Dual Mirror door but after trying different combinations in the sharing set up I am still drawing a blank on this connection, any help would be appreciated

    You have set up file sharing by firewire, right? Now you want to share your iMac's Internet connection with the G4. Does the G4 have an Airport wireless card? If so, set it up that way in System Prefs under Internet Sharing. If the G4 doesn't have an Airport card then you'll need to do it by Ethernet, as in this article http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_share_your_wireless_internet_connectio n_ethernet. But if you do it by Ethernet then your iMac would need to be connected to your modem wirelessly, not by Ethernet, b/c you need the iMac Ethernet port for the connection to the G4. Hope this makes sense.

  • Messages not working while using Internet sharing from my iMac ... Any troubleshooting tips/approaches ?

    I am connecting to the internet using the Internet Sharing from my iMac ...
    The trouble is the messages in the Messages app are not sent when I am connected through my iMac ...

    What could be the problem with my iMac s sharing? Any suggestions would be really useful ///  Thanx in advance
    I am running Lion ... and I have updated to the latest Airport software ...
    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 :/

  • Connecting ipod touch to internet via internet sharing

    My MacPro was connected to the internet. My ipod touch showed that it was connected to the MacPro via internet sharing, but I could not get the ipod to complete the connection to the internet. I selected "Allow all incoming connections" in the MacPro system preferences>security>firewall and the ipod could see the internet. Success.

    If we wanted to open only individual ports (or a range of ports) rather than disabling the whole firewall, which ports would we leave open?
    TIA,

  • IPad 2 wifi issues with iMac internet sharing

    I have the iPad 2 [ (Wifi + 3G) ( iOS 5.1.1 (9B206) ] which connected to my 21" iMac [Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)] through Internet sharing seemlessly some time back.
    However of late, with latest software updates on the iMac & iPad, the connection seems to work only intermittently.
    The connection breaks every half or one hour, despite both the devices being in the same room.
    I have tried almost all suggestions on forums like resetting your network settings on iPad, changing channels on the iMac for Internet sharing, with or without password security, resetting the firewalls on & off on the iMac, but nothing seems to work & the only way is to reset all your settings all over again.

    I used Internet Sharing like this couple of times!
    The situation happens is that when you share your internet over Wifi, and you password protect it, when you connect the iPad or any iDevice to that new hotspot, it happens that after selecting that hotspot, we need to turn on "Auto Join". So when the iPad gets disconnected, it gets disconnected completely and you need to connect back once again. So when you turn on "Auto Join" it will get connected automatically once again it gets disconnected maybe due to power saving or suddenly it leaves the hotspot.
