Internet Sharing - Error Creating Bridge100@0

Hello,
I'm trying to set up internet sharing but I am havign some problems.
On closer inspection of the log I can see the following error:
com.apple.InternetSharing[2440]: error creating internal interface for devname bridge100@0: Address already in use
If I do the follwoing:
#ifconfig | grep bridge
I only see bridge0 not bridge100 ?
How can I find out what is using bridge100 and why is it in use!
TIA//56k

I have spent afew hours looking at this and I have eneded up looking at LaucnhDaemons... I killed off the bootps LaunchDaemon and things seemed to start working:
sudo /bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist
Why or what it's doing I don't know... but this fixed it.

Internet sharing from MBP to iPod Touch?

I have a MacBook Pro connected to the Internet through my company's ethernet network. Since there is no WiFi connection available here, I am attempting to use "Internet sharing" between my ethernet / Internet connection on the MBP to my iPod Touch. There is no proxy server or special settings I have on my MBP to access the Internet through the ethernet connection so I thought it would be as simply as turning the "Internet Sharing" on, creating an "ad-hoc" wireless network, and connecting to it with my iPod Touch.
I can see and connect to the wireless connection that my MBP has created for Internet Sharing, but I can't access any Internet content from the iPod Touch. I changed the settings on the iPod Touch WiFi connection from DHCP assigned, static IP, and I've even tried using my MBP's wireless IP as well as ethernet IP addresses as the router on the iPod Touch with no luck. I also tried setting the subnet mask on the iPod Touch to 255.255.0.0 and using the MBP's ethernet gateway IP address as the router IP on the iPod Touch (still no luck).
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

If new events added to your Mac do not appear on your calendar on icloud.com when you check from your computer, make sure you are adding the events to calendars that belong to your "iCloud" account and not an "On My Mac" or another non-iCloud account. You can check by clicking Calendars on the top left of the Calendars application.
If you are and they still don't appear on icloud.com, add any missing events from your Mac calendar to your calendar on icloud.com, then go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check Calendars again. Then add a new event on your Mac calendar and see if it appears on icloud.com and your iPod now.

Can't connect ipad to Mountain Lion iMac via Internet sharing?

Hello,
I've always used Internet Sharing to create a wifi hotspot from my iMac, so that I can get an internet connection on my iPad. After updating to Mountain Lion this does not seem to work. Anyone know how?
The hotspot generated by my iMac's internet sharing has never worked with my Kindle, but I would at least expect it to work with Apple's own products. Hoepfully someone knows a solution?
Thanks
Bob

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

Error message about firewall and internet sharing

hello all i have a question regarding the use of firewall and internet sharing.
I have a PMG5 connected to internet through Airport. I've linked an Xbox 360 via the built-in ethernet port in order to access Xbox Live. I had to open specific UDP ports on the OS X firewall but it now works fine. However, in the Sharing Preference Pane, Internet Tab, i still get an error message saying that my Internet Sharing is disturbed by the settings of the firewall and sharing services, it says that i did not activate "personal web sharing" in the first two tabs...but i DID ! And there's no way to get rid of this error message.
I know I know some may consider it's not a real problem because it's just an error message while the connection actually works fine but well, I tend to hate error messages when they're not supposed to show up. So if anyone know the answer, thanks in advance...
Good day to everyone
Vince, Paris...

sorry about the delay in replying, was kinda busy
well trashing the pref files was useless and i tried with another user, same thing. As for the second opinion, the problem was not about which port was used cause as i said the connection sharing works fine and anyway it was the correct port that was checked, it's just that i get an error message while there is no apparent error and everything works fine, i'm told that personal web sharing is not enabled but it is...
Anyway as i said, it's probably not a real matter, as long as it works...which brings me to another thing. I've created a special protocol in the firewall to enable a proper dialog with the xbox. it's basically the same thing you do for ichat AV when you have video connection problems, you track down the concerned UDP port using terminal, you allow traffic and all... The protocol for the xbox worked great for some days, but now it seems it's not enough, the game set keeps trying on another port and i constantly have to update the protocol or deactivate the firewall...and enabling back all UDP traffic is not enough to solve it.
In a way i think everything is linked, the initial error message when everything was fine and the current trouble. Any idea?
thanks
Vince

When I start Internet Sharing /etc/bootpd.plist is not created and the other device is not assigned an IP address.

Just like the tite says. I am investigating why my Macbook Pro (3,1) running Mountain Lion will not assign an IP address to a computer connected via Ethernet when Internet Sharing is turned on (laptop receiving WiFi connection, supposed to be sharing connection over ethernet). I tested using a relatives macbook and it worked just fine. It turns out my laptop is not creating the file: /etc/bootpd.plist when Internet Sharing is turned on.
I have a console log here from when I start internet sharing:

Solved it, at least temporarily:
Investigate process binding port 67 with the following command:
sudo lsof -i 67
Close the offending process (in this case: bootps):
sudo /bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist
Start internet sharing again from the system preferences panel

Internet Sharing causes iChat errors?

I've just finished installing Leopard on my mother's iMac and I'm trying to test out the screen sharing feature of iChat. However I keep getting an error after accepting my request to share, that my MBP isn't responding to her iMac's acceptance. Could this be caused by the fact that my MBP is connected to the web and trying to use iChat via Internet Sharing?
It won't be for a couple of days before I can have a dedicated distinct internet connection to test it.

Yes.
Internet Sharing can not be On in Leopard.
This is because iChat "looks" as it were in both the connection to the internet via the other computer and it's Own IP form the routing device. (Sees two networks).
Other forms of two networks or Subnets also do not work.
Two DHCP server on the Same LAN when a Modem that Routes and a router are both doing DHCP.
Being connected to the same router with Wireless and Ethernet.
Connecting to a Neighbour's WiFi LAN and your own Ethernet LAN will do it.
Running Parallels in Leopard with it having the two VPNs it create in System Preferences > Network Active and sharing the Mac's IP that way. (Turn Both Off)
Certain MIMO wireless devices can cause the same effect due to the way they use the Channel the router is set to.

Created Network and Internet Sharing Problems

Hello,
I created network with WEP password. I proceeded to turn on internet sharing.
All works great until the iMac goes to sleep.
Once it comes back on the network I created is missing and I have create it all over again.
The internet connection is through ethernet staring into the iMac.
Is there a way to get the iMac to stop forgetting the created network and leave the internet connection on? Even when it's sleeping.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
Is there a reason why you chose WEP? I ask because WEP is an encryption technology that has been cracked so if possible I"d suggest you use WPA or WPA2 encryption instead. Am I correct to assume you don't have a router and all the other computers connect to the internet through the imac? If you don't have a router I'd suggest you buy one, they are not much money and provide excellent protecton from the internet. A router will protect all the computers on your network behind its firewall and would no longer have to connect through the imac.
A couple of things to check:
Go to System Preferences>Network and highlight 'Wireless' on the left side. (Also, if you don't use Bluetooth or any other type of networking listed there delete them from the list leaving only Ethernet and Airport) Uncheck 'ask to join new networks'.
Then click on 'Advanced..' and under the Airport tab make sure only your network is listed in the 'Prefered Networks' window. Under that window check 'remember any network this computer has joined' and uncheck 'disconnect from wireless networks when logging out'.
That's the way I've got my computer set up and I've never lost a connection.

Internet Sharing - "Unable to join the network" error

Hi,
I have recently enabled internet sharing from my iMac to provide internet access for my iPad. My iMac has a working ethernet connection and I successfully set up the internet sharing (shared via Wi-Fi) so that the network is recognised by my iPad. However, when I attempt to connect to the network from the iPad I get the error, "Unable to join the network <name-of-my-imac>". To make things really simple, I disabled the security for the network so that no passoword is required. Still the iPad won't connect. Everything seems to be alright from the iMac's end, except that my PC laptop also has difficulty gaining internet access through the network. It will connect, but states "no internet connection".
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not a lot of support seems to be avaible for this topic.
I am running OS X 10.8.2 on the iMac and iOS 6.1.3 on the iPad.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

How do I enable Internet Sharing? I get an error stating "Internet Sharing isn't currently available"

Just got the HTC One M8 and tried to setup as a HotSpot but got the error above. Anyone else get this and fix it?

If you are on the More Everything plan, internet sharing, aka mobile hotspot, is INCLUDED. If you are on the older Nationwide plan the Mobile Hotspot is an add'l feature - $25 for 2gb (I think)

Create a wireless network AND Internet sharing?

Hi all,
I own a MacBook Pro and an iPhone, and currently live at a state university. The problem is that the wireless network won't allow communication between devices, only to the internet, and you aren't allowed to have a wireless router. You are, by some strange loophole, allowed to share an internet connection from a computer. My problem is that I either can share the Internet (which doesn't allow me to use apps that use WiFi to communicate with my Mac, like iDisplay) or create a wireless network (which means I can't connect to the internet via WiFi on my phone). So here's my question:
How can I share my internet connection with my iPhone as well as be able to use apps that communicate with my mac, such as iDisplay?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Your Mac is already using the Wifi to connect to the network, you don't have control over the router can't have one, so you can't make any changes to have your iPhone use the router to communicate with your Mac.
They likely already have enough bandwidth issues as it is to allow streaming between devices on the local network too.

IMac creating VPN for ATV 2 via Internet Sharing...

Apologies for the complex nature of this problem/question. Any guidance you (the great and the good of the Apple eco-system) can offer will be gratefully received.
First up, most of what I set out below works fine. Or should I say, it all works fine, but intermittently fails on me. And I realise it's possibly a 'home network configuration' issue, but I'd still appreciate someone with the requisite skills checking this over....
The following feature in my set up, all running latest software versions:
1. a late 2012 iMac running Mountain Lion.
2. an Apple TV 2.
3. a first generation Time Capsule.
4. a Strong VPN account.
5. an ADSL modem / router.
As it stands:
the Time Capsule is connected to the ADSL modem via Ethernet.
the ADSL modem / router is configured as DHCP.
the ADSL modem / router is configured to provide a 802.11g network - SLOWNET
the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge mode.
the Time Capsule is configured to provide a 802.11n WiFi network - FASTNET
the iMac is connected to the Time Capsule via Ethernet.
the iMac is configured to establish a VPN connection.
the iMac is configured to create a WiFi network - VPNNET
the VPN connection is shared using 'Internet Sharing' to users of VPNNET.
Apple TV connects to VPNNET.
All works, and all is well. EXCEPT:
1. regularly ATV loses the connection to VPNNET, usually when it (ATV) hasn't been used for a while, hence VPNNET likely to have been disconnected / reconnected since ATV last accessed it. Having lost the network connection, it can take over one hour to get it back. Sometimes it can't see VPNNET, sometimes it connects but can't see the Internet - and occasionally I've changed DNS server address in ATV to Google (8.8.8.8) and it kicked it back into life.
2. Home Sharing on ATV doesn't work when it's connected to VPNNET - I have to connect to FASTNET to get it to work.
So the questions I have are:
1. How should DHCP be set up on my network, Time Capsule, modem / router, doesn't matter? What about on the iMac for VPNNET?
2. Is there a way to configure the above kit, and have the VPN and Home Sharing working at the same time?
3. Where / How should DNS be configured in my set up?
As I write this down I'm forced to acknowledge just how involved it is, and don't hold out much hope of someone coming along with a simple "change these settings and problem over" solution - but I can live in hope!
Thanks for reading to the end.
PB

Weird system log error when internet sharing is enabled

When I enable internet sharing, my system log starts to fill up with messages like this:
Oct 6 21:14:24 Musa kernel[0]: Assertion failed: file "/SourceCache/AirPortDriverBrcm4311/AirPortDriverBrcm4311-366.91.21/SnowLeopard /src/wl/sys/wlc.c", line 28290: !AP_ENAB(&wlc->pub)
Any idea what this means and how to fix it? I googled the error, and it only shows up on a web site in Russian

There is a preexisting thread on this topic which confirms that others have this problem as well.

Can't create airport/wifi internet-sharing network with other laptop

I have an iBook running Tiger 10.4.11 connected to the net with ethernet. The internet connection comes through a radio antenna which acts like a router to which I don't have access.
I want to share my internet connection, and to be able to transfer files, between the iBook and another laptop. I've tried it with two - one running Fedora 11 (mine) and one running Windows XP, and have the same problems with both.
I turn wifi on on the ibook and linux laptop. I turn on internet sharing from built-in ethernet to airport in System Preferences. First I try it with no encryption. 'Other settings may interfere with internet sharing' shows up; it tells me to enable Personal Web Sharing, which I do. When I click start Little Snitch tells me natd wants to connect to 10.0.2.1 (presumably the router in the antenna), which I allow. I try to connect with the linux laptop and it tries then disconnects.
1) isn't personal web sharing for serving web pages? — why is it necessary here at all?
2) what am I doing wrong in making my network work?
If I enable encryption using WEP, the other password asks me for authenticication, I put in the password, and it then tells me the network has been disconnected.
3) is WEP the best encryption I can use from Tiger?
4) I think the problem's with Tiger (both laptops can connect to other wifi networks not set up by me). Is there a piece of free software I can use to share the connection instead of the built-in one?
I can't make a functional network in reverse either (i.e. setting it up on the other laptop and trying to connect wirelessly with the ibook).
What I am trying to do is precisely this (http://my.safaribooksonline.com/0596009135/runmacx2-CHP-11-SECT-13) — it just doesn't work.

When I click start Little Snitch tells me natd wants to connect to 10.0.2.1 (presumably the router in the antenna), which I allow. I try to connect with the linux laptop and it tries then disconnects.
Back on that part, at that Point the Mac is a NATD Router, don't try to connect to the other computers.
On the Mac, with Internet Sharing enabled, open NetInfo Manager in Applications>Utilities.
From there on out, it's a bit foggy, but iirc Config>DHCP>Subnets><the subnet>, then down where it says com.apple.nat... what does it report for IPs?
If it were say 10.43.29.1 then the others trying to join should have that as a Router/Gateway, and then 10.43.29.2, 10.43.29.3, etc. as IPs.
Apple says you can't set it Manually, but I've had it work a couple of times.
