Internet Connection Sharing and NFS route problem?

My new box is yet to gets its wireless card so following the wiki I have painlessly set up ICS - this works great. The ICS host connects to my wireless router on wlan0 and to the ICS client on eth0. The ICS client attaches on eth0.
From the ICS client I can ping eth0 and wlan0 on the host and also the router but I can't access the NFS shares on the host - should I be able to access them on both wlan0 and eth0 - even if I bring down wlan0? I'm guessing I need another iptables rule...

I'm not quite sure I understand whats happening here.... So here is a "diagram":
ICS cli --- eth0 ---> ICS host --- wlan0 ---> router ---> internet
Yeah? From this, there is no reason for wlan0 to affect NFS from cli to host, assuming everything has been set up properly with the routing tables.
If you disable all iptables stuff (which is how I'm assuming you have the routing working), does NFS work? Have you set up your /etc/exports properly?
Can I see your iptables stuff as well?
And on a side note: I recently chucked NFS in favour of sshfs, it's much better for me personally. Considered that?

Network Configuration Window Freezes When USB NDIS Internet Connection Sharing and Ethernet Port Are Used Simultaneously

Current Setup:
Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet. Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics). RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.
I will refer to this setup as my tower.
The Ethernet port works fine by itself. When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.
The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously. The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.
I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network). I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem. I am able to
do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet.
Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card? If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
Any help would be very appreciated.

I had the same problem and came here by searching.
Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
Now you will have two options:
- Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
- Remote NDIS Compatible Device
I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver.

Internet Connection sharing and HTTP traffic

Hello anyone,
I have a late 2009 iMac and a late 2008 MacBook Air. I connect to the internet via a ADSL PPPoE modem, which is connected to the iMac via ethernet. I've set up the iMac to share the ADSL connection via AirPort to the MacBook Air, with WEP protection (it's either WEP or no protection at all, so I have to stick with it). Before the OS X Lion upgrade, everything worked fine (the iMac used Snow Leopard and the MacBook used Leopard). Now I have upgraded both comptuers to Lion: the iMac works flawlessly, but the MacBook Air is unable to get HTTP traffic from the iMac. IMAP, Skype, ICMP, XMPP and other protocols works fine but HTTP has some problems. First of all, I can get some web pages (either via a browser or curl), like Google and Google-owned sites (YouTube, Orkut, Blogger...), Macworld.com and some Italian sites, but if I try other sites, all I get is the browser to load something forever. If I ping these sites, they reply normally. If I try to get (for instance), Yahoo's homepage with curl all I get is a blank file (and curl shows that 0 bytes were transmitted/recieved). This problem is shown with every device I use via Wi-Fi, such as iPod touch, iPhone and another MacBook (with Snow Leopard on).
So I guess there's some problem in iMac's Conncetion Sharing... has anyone a suggestion?
Thanks
Simone

I no nothing about Windows. Nothing.
But to configure your Mac to share an ehternet to wi-fi connect follow these steps;
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, an iPhone and now an iPad 2 over AirPort from my Mac mini.
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, like a Windows laptop or an XBox, 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

Problem with Internet connection sharing between eMac and Powerbook G3

Hi,
I seem to be having a slight problem with internet connection sharing.
My eMac is the main machine with the internet connection, and its running 10.4.6, the Powerbook G3 is running 10.2.8.
I can connect them all up and get online with both, but I the problem I am having is when I turn the Firewall on on the eMac, the powerbook can't connect.
Is there anyway I can keep the Firewall enabled and still use internet connection sharing?

How do I know which ports the Powerbook is using?
Also I had web sharing enabled on the eMac and it made no difference at all.
Plus I don't know if this means anything to you, trying to decipher it myself, all I can make out myself on there is port 80.

Internet connection sharing with a modem and WRT54G

I currently have dial-up at my location, I will have dsl when i move down the street in about 2-3 months. My question is, I would like to hook up my WRT54G router to my desktop computer that has a external modem hooked to it. I would like to be able to use my laptop from my shop location out in the backyard without having to tie myself into the computer in the house. How can I be able to use the wireless link between the laptop and the router and have it dial the modem on the desktop so I can access the internet out in the shop? I read that this can't be done if using dhcp. I can see both computers hard drives on each machine. Would anyone know of any software that would allow me do this? Thanks, Joseph

Configure WRT54G as access point only, so labtop can communicate with desktop that has Internet connection. Enable Internet Connection Sharing on desktop to share the Internet connection to labtop.
Hope helps..

Internet connection sharing between Mac Mini and Imac G3- how?

Ok, I'm trying to connect my G3 Imac (running 10.4.8) to my Mac Mini (also running 10.4.8) but it just wont work.
I've turned Internet Connection sharing on on my Mac Mini, and set it to share the airport connection to computers connected using Built in ethernet.
Network (on the M Mini) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active. Built-In Ethernet has a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet.
Network (on the G3) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.2.7. You are connected to the Internet via Built-In Ethernet.
When i try to go to a webpage on the G3 it fails stating, 'You are not connected to the Internet'.
I'm using a standard straight through ethernet cable, as I was told a while ago from apple support that it doesn't matter which u use, straight through or crossover.
Any help would be really appreciated
Macbook 2.0Ghz 2GB 80GB/Mac Mini 1.42Ghz 1GB 80GB/Imac G3 450Mhz 640MB 80GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK after some playing about I can now manage to connect to the mac mini and vice versa to share files.
The iMac G3 now says it has an IP address of 192.168.2.18, and that it's connected to the internet via built-in ethernet. I've set configure IPV4 to Using DHCP.
Except it's not connected to the net.
If i select Using DHCP on the Mini it doesn't obtain an IP address, not even a self set one. So i've set a manual IP address on that, and everything shows up green. Airpot connected to the internet and Ethernet has an IP address of 192.168.2.30.
After reading some forums I set up firewall logging. The result is what happens on the Mac Mini when I use network diagnostics on the G3:
Feb 11 16:43:52 richard-xxxxx-mac-mini natd[394]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
So I opened port 394 (not really knowing what i'm trying) but it had no effect.

WRT54G3G-ST router - no internet connection - can't reset router

Hello. Definite longer story definitely not short (I apologize for the rambling length... I don't know what is and isn't important, so scan at will, please... I am sorry...): Recently my computer (Dell XPS 400, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 7 with phishing filter and pop-up blocker on, SiteAdvisor, up-to-date McAfee Virus Scanner and Firewall, and a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G3G-ST router with its power adapter plugged into the wall electrical outlet and a network cable from it directly connected to my computer.) got a drive-by Generic.dx trojan without me downloading anything from one of the few sites I visit daily. My internet connection crawled, and I now have no connection at all.
I've been getting help from McAfee forums very helpful and quick good volunteers... They recommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to me, which I downloaded from my second clean computer (a laptop) to my flash drive, then to my infected computer. I ran it, tried updating it as recommended, and only then discovered the trojan killed my broadband entirely. I scanned with it anyway, and it quickly found and removed/quarantined 11 Adware.MyWebSearch related files, but nothing else. They then gave me a link to an offline updater patch file, and told me scan in safe mode until nothing else was found and check if it fixed my lack of broadband access. Which I did, Malwarebytes found nothing else, but unfortunately I still had no broadband.
Next, they recommended WinsockXPFix. Which I ran and it made all its registry changes OK, I rebooted as required but still no broadband unfortunately. Did using WinsockXPFix make things worse for me with the registry changes it made? I used its registry backup to save the pre-changed registry files prior to running. Should I revert back since I still have no broadband connection? The McAfee volunteers then kindly told me I needed to hard reset the router, though I've tried countless times with no fortune. I'm at a definite loss as to what, if anything, I can do to hopefully get my broadband back, please...
It's very confusing with the numerous different variations to reset routers, and what I need to do for my router model (Variations: Unplug this cable/adapter exactly where, or not; hold the reset button between 5-30 seconds; rebooting the computer, or not; waiting 1 or 2 minutes between various steps, or not - and for all of these at what exact point in the reset process.).
I reset it once before with the reset button, routers page at http://192.168.1.1, default admin password, then changed it for security, etc; but this time I can't get it to work. I'm happy as can be to try again, to get a walk-through maybe, anything please... When I go to http://192.168.1.1 now, or any other address, Internet Explorer gripes at me that I'm offline, which is annoyingly correct. I don't have, and never had Zone Alarm, but disabling my McAfee Firewall doesn't help. IPCONFIG at the Command Prompt gives me a Windows assigned address of 169.254.X.X
I was going to use the routers Setup Wizard CD to try to reset the router, and if that failed to try to get its firmware version number to maybe upgrade. But I was going to ask here first for expert advice since I've read many things that can go wrong while upgrading firmware. However, scanning the CD (Without running the CD.) McAfee found the virus W32/HLLP.Philis.ini in the file "D:\_desktop.ini" on the CD. McAfee didn't delete the file, I don't know why.
   I scanned my entire computer several times and no infections were reported. I uploaded the file several times to both www.virustotal.com (39 online virus scanners), and virusscan.jotti.org (20 online virus scanners) and every time every virus scanner reported no possible infections. Is my up-to-date McAfee virus scanner reporting a false positive and yet Jotti and Virustotal's 2 McAfee scanners report the file as probable clean? Is "_desktop.ini" a legitimate Linksys file? I found no information on Linksys/its forums about it. My problems just keep multiplying...mentioning of more problems...
Finding that suspect file on the CD I decided to instead download the Setup Wizard from Linksys
(Router product page: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G3G-ST/download
Actual file: http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G3G-ST_SetupWizard_4_2_06042008.zip)
to my flash drive, then to my infected computer that is connected to the router. I ran it (Downloaded file version: 4.2.0.007 - Original CD Setup Wizard version: 4.0 printed on CD front.) and it immediately gave 1 of 3 options: Mobile Broadband Only, Broadband WAN Only, or Broadband WAN and Mobile Broadband. I don't know what damage, if any, I caused by continuing.
   It looked like it was trying to go through the entire router setup process. I thought it would take me to some options to reset the router, as I've read in the User Guide and elsewhere - that was my understanding. The setup process stopped at only 30% done "Router not found, please make sure the router is properly connected and try again." How much overwriting of original router setup files did I do by continuing? I'm entirely confused. Doesn't the Wizard check if the router has been previously setup prior to setting it up again? Did the version difference cause my router to not be detected by the Setup Wizard? Did the Generic.dx trojan that killed my broadband trash my computer settings so bad that my router is undetectable/essentially not setup?
Update of sorts: I tried one last time to reset the router, and I unplugged/plugged the network cable. Doing that I still had no broadband on my main usage Dell XPS computer that's connected to the Linksys router. However, my laptop, with Data Card in the router, was for the first time able to find the network - the constant connection and speed is brilliant, it's what it allways has been on the laptop (Since the trojan/router problems, my laptop only had broadband with the Data Card in the laptop.). Maybe the network cable simply wasn't re-connected properly/entirely during 1 of the many reset attempts, it indeed could also explain the downloaded Setup Wizard not being able to find the router/only getting 30% done.
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in laptop computer slot:
IP Address    = 174.158.XX.XXX (Sprint)
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.255
DNS Servers = 68.28.90.91
                         68.28.82.91
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in router:
IP Address    = 192.168.1.1XX
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server      = 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers      = 192.168.1.1
Since my laptop started working with the Data Card in the router I haven't tried again to reset the router, nor have I tried the downloaded Setup Wizard. I don't want to mess anything up further than I have(?) / the trojan has, and I need some expert advice, please, as to which of the 2 if either I should do (first?). On my laptop computer only, typing http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer gets the pop-up for username and password, but I haven't proceeded. I've read you shouldn't reset the router and/or(? Is it both or just 1 please?) upgrade the firmware unless the computer is directly connected to the router - which my laptop is not. On my other computer that still has no broadband, Internet Explorer still tells me I'm offline when typing http://192.168.1.1 into it. My IP Address on it is still a Windows assigned 169.254.X.X and a Command Prompt PING 192.168.1.1 returns with "Destination host unreachable.", as it allways has and same with all other addresses (Except for 169.254.X.X).
Annoying 2nd "update" of sorts, apologies for length, as allways: I've been so focused on the trojan/broadband killing that I've cluelessly largely forgot that I have dial-up with AOL. Trying AOL dial-up also does not work, the insanity thickens... AOL software tells me to check my connection, but all phone cords are plugged in as should be. I plugged a phone directly into the wall outlet and I get a dial tone, I can call out OK, and the phone rings and gets calls OK. Device Manager-Modems-Properties-Device Status says the modem is working properly, and Resources Tab shows no conflicts. Diagnostics Tab's Query Modem looks OK to me, as does the log, but as allways I'm definitely no expert. I didn't change any settings anywhere.
   I have noticed off and on that checking IPCONFIG it says my IP Address is 192.168.1.100   It lasts maybe a day (then goes back to 169.254.X.X), maybe longer, I don't know - I don't check that often to pin it down (Should I?). During this time neither my broadband, nor my dial-up works. I can PING 192.168.1.100, but nothing else. I'm convinced the evil trojan killed both my broadband and dial-up - I've never had a problem with my Conexant D850 56K V.9x DFVc Modem prior. Also, I'm not convinced the trojan is not still lurking everywhere on my computer, I think it is...
Any and all help in restoring my broadband/dial-up is greatly appreciated, please... Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello. It's been entirely too long since I've replied, I'm sorry. There's no excuse, and it's terribly rude of me... You took the time to read and reply to me, and I endlessly appreciate that indeed. I apologize for my long delay, I'm sorry...
After I left my message I downloaded many virus/spyware scanners, etc. from my laptop onto my flash drive, then my other computer for some needed thorough deep scans. One that I downloaded was Network Magic, which somehow, someway fixed both my broadband/dial-up internet on my main computer that's connected to the WRT54G3G-ST router. I don't know what/how it repaired my connection, but the broadband connection/speed has been working brilliantly since... Network Magic worked for me, and I highly recommend it to everyone who has stubborn complete lack of internet problems (caused by trojans at that) as I did. There's no guarantee it'll work, but it did for me to my amazement.
Network Magic, as is Linksys, is owned by parent company Cisco. Respectfully to all the good knowledgeable experts here (Which clearly I am not.), I don't want to tread out of my bounds. I'm simply trying hopefully to be helpful and save some headaches for both you the volunteers and the users...buying a new router and/or computer was on my mind, with all due respect I recommend suggesting to try Network Magic to users if resetting the router/all else fails, please. I did use WinsockXPFix/WinsockFix utility prior to using Network Magic, I don't know if that matters.
I also upgraded my McAfee package, I installed over my old software instead of uninstalling first, which caused errors in the virus scanner of all critically needed things. I have it installed properly now, but it did cause quite a delay in re-focus of my time. Some of the virus scans also found many trojans, some were the same/in the same folders that killed my broadband - which stopped me in my tracks to insure uninfected cleaning.
That definitely doesn't entirely explain the long lapse of time, and I apologize for that, again. It's just that I'm trying to be cautious and slow in all this. To answer the first very good idea you made: Unfortunately, there's no place on my other computer to plug the router in to, which all the more so caused frustration (at the time). I forgot to include this in my novel length post of countless things to check/remember... It was a brilliant idea though, thank you...
I thank you for your time and help, I do sincerely appreciate it... Thank you... I think, and hope this matter is solved. It seems to be, the router is working perfectly as it allways has, and I'm positively happy as can be about it. Thank you... Peace...

Internet Connection Sharing using java

Dear all,
I am currently trying to figure out a solution for making an application which would help me accomplish ICS.
I have googled for ideas on this, without too much help.
My ideas so far :
1) Detect input(wait a min. how can I detect if this is the "live" wire ?) from a network interface and then try to share/redirect the traffic to the other n/w interfaces.
2) Actually listing all the n/w interfaces and asking the user to select the master interface.
the problem is, this may also have a few wireless connections hence I would need to know the signal strengths and then post WAP/WEP info too.
I am thinking of using jpcap for this.
This is the first time I am doing such a thing. Please let me know how do I proceed with this. I dont even know if the lines that I am thinkin on (1 & 2) are even correct.
I would be grateful for any pointers on this.
rgds,

If you are talking about NAT? like the real internet connection sharing that many routers, firewalls, etc use to virtualize an IP then it cannot be done in PURE JAVA. Of course you can do something with JNI and possiably even get it to work. But then you will probably just be using features of the platform that your computer is installed upon as in order to do NAT, you have to be able to inject your code into the IP stack code.
Linux you could do it easily as long as the kernel supported it, as you would just have to run ipchains/ipfw commands.
in windows, I have no idea.
However, if you are talking about a proxy, then there are many implementations already done. Proxies are almost trivial to implement these days.

Automate Internet Connection Sharing

I'm trying to create a couple of Automator workflows or AppleScripts to turn on and off Internet Connection Sharing, preferably with different SSIDs depending on my location (I don't mind having separate workflows/scripts for each SSID). It doesn't look like there are any Automator actions for this so I tried recording my actions, but that's not working. The slightest twitch of the mouse throws off the running script and even if I totally let go of the mouse it's not getting the selections done correctly (for example, instead of opening the System Preferences pane, it keeps going to Mac OS X Software on the Apple Menu).
Can anyone help me out with this?
(Cross-posting in Automator and AppleScript forums)

Hi,
First of all, to open system preferences, try using the "Launch Application" function in automator and choose System Preferences. This should solve the mouse problem because it doesn't rely on mouse clicks.
Then, for all other functions where you need to record mouse clicks, try using a separate recording for each mouse click.
Make sure you set the execution speed for each recording to maximum before saving as applications, otherwise they will take forever to run and you'll have more chance of small mouse movements disturbing the script between clicks.
I set up scripts in this way to do the same thing you are talking about, except mine where for file sharing with different individuals on my network. So far I haven't had any problems.

Internet connection comes and goes

My Macbook is hooked up to my husbands wireless network and used to go through the Time Machine but he had problems with it so he took it off the network. Now my internet connection comes and goes every 5 to 10 minutes - it loses connection and then finds it again.
My husband (the computer expert in the house) doesnt really care so it is up to me to figure out what is wrong. Can anyone help me?

I think by "Time Machine" you actually mean "Time Capsule"--TC is the hardware, TM is the software the does the backups to the hardware.
As for your problem: If the Time Capsule is "off the network," as you suggest, how is your husband connecting to the internet? What kind of computer does he have? More information is better here, to help us solve your problem--the wires come into the house and then what?
It kind of sounds like you might be describing "Internet Sharing":
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8156.html
Does any of that look familiar to you?

Internet Connection Sharing with onboard LAN

Hi
Does anyone know if it's possible to setup Internet Connection Sharing using the onboard LAN? I've managed to get shared files and folders working, but can't get internet access on the client PC.
Using the K8MM3-V
Windows XP Pro on both PC's
I have 3 NIC's I can use.
The Host PC is using the onboard LAN to connect to the internet
I'm using a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC in both the host and client PC's
The Host PC also has a NETGEAR FA312 Fast Ethernet Adapter (Currently disabled)
I'm using crossover cable and 2 NIC's method.
I don't have a hub, switch or router.
I've had it working before on Windows 2000 Pro, but can't remember how I did it. (I think it just all worked straight away).
Anyonew knows if this is possible, please let me know.
Thanks
Michael

Ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes, has anyone else had the same experience. have rung Apple Care and they have reset my connection but it is still happening

ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes....have reported this to Apple Care who have helped me reset my connection but it is still happening...cant believe it is a fault of the ISP as my Iphone does not have this problem, nor does my PC laptop...is this a fault in the new system?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Windows 8.1 Group Policies For Internet Connection Sharing?

Are there any more detailed policies available other than simply allowing or blocking Internet Connection Sharing?
I need to find out if there are policies allow management of Internet Connection Sharing? For instance we would like to allow ICS, but control it so that it cannot be set up by the user in unsafe manner.
We would like to either set the PSK password in advance or at least disallow weak ICS WPA passwords. It would also be a good idea if we could set up ICS so that only domain joined computers from our domain could join the ICS session from another computer
on our domain or else disallow direct access and file sharing between the ICS host and the guests joining the ICS network.
Can these types of things be managed via group policy?

> Are there any more detailed policies available other than simply
> allowing or blocking Internet Connection Sharing?
No.

UML290 Internet Connection Sharing

Once upon a time a Verizon Tech helped me set up ICS on my WinXP machines... And, I promptly forgot some of the details. So, I am sharing them here.
Basically, what you will be doing is sharing the UML290 Internet Connection while using the Host Computers Ethernet as the Default Gateway.
BTW, You can rename your Network Connections so that they are easier to keep straight in your head. Right-Click on a Network Connections Line Entry and rename.
On The Host Computer (The one that *HAS* the 4G lte Modem Connected to it.)
On your 4G lte properties, under the 'Advanced' tab, in the Internet Connection Sharing block, check both boxes.
Under the 'General' tab make sure both 'Automatically' check boxes are checked.
On The Host Computer Ethernet Properties, under the 'General' Tab, Use the following IP Address: 192.168.0.1 with a mask (automatically set when you tab out) set to: 255.255.255.0
To set up the Client Computer (The one that the USB Modem is *NOT* connected to) you will need to know the Primary and Alternate DNS servers IP addresses. To do so...
1. Open Network Connections
2. Right-Click on the Modem entry
3. Click on 'Status'
4. Select the 'Support' tab
5. Select the 'Details' button
Copy down the DNS Servers IP Addresses... Then close everrything out.
On the Client Computer select the Ethernet Connection being used to interconnect the two Computers.
You may need a Cross-Over Cable if either or both Computers have any age ont them.
Some newer computers automatically detect and switch over, not needing a cross-over cable.
*IF* your computers can't see each other at all, you need to obtain a Cross-Over Cable.
OK, moving on... Under the General Tab: Select Use the following IP Address:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Close out of all property boxes...
Bring up your Browser and see if it can find Google or any other site you need to get to.
Hope This Helps...

VZAM sometimes does not unload properly, so it's running even if you don't see it. You may see one (or even two) instances of the process in the Task Mgr. You can kill it and restart it. One reason it takes time to start and stop is that it has to wait for Wireless Zero Config service to stop so it can take control of WiFi connections. When it exits, is usually restarts WZC service.
You can also set yoru VZAM prefs for manual startup of the program and connections. In this case if a connection is lost, you may have to manually re-connect.

Slow Internet connection sharing on Macbook Pro

Hi all,
I am experiencing really slow internet connection sharing via the airport from a second machine directly. I can access the internet or web pages with excellent reliability however the download/upload speed is 20KB/s at best. If I use the Macbook Pro itself I can get up to 250KB/sec. I read that this seems to be common problem with Snow Leopard. Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks

Can you shed some light on where you read this?
