Internet sharing has stopped working after 10.8.2 upgrade

Hi.  So, for the past year, I've been receiving WiFi internet on my iMac, and sharing it via ethernet and sometimes FW800.  Lately, mostly just ethernet.  As of 10.8.2, this has stopped functioning.  I have heard many rumors about internet sharing issues in the update, but it seems I am in the extreme minority in terms of sharing internet via ethernet rather than sharing it via WiFi.
For the record, what I have tried so far is, enabling and disabling all options, trashing preferences, creating a second administrator account on the iMac and trying from that one, switching multiple ethernet cables just in case, and even switching to a different wireless network (we have two in my home on different wavelengths).  It's always the same: devices recognize that they're connected to the ethernet port on the iMac.  The iMac recognizes it's connected to them.  They can obtain their own IP addresses through DHCP, but they cannot, under any circumstances, actually connect to the internet.
Please help!  I'm tearing my hair out over here, as this was crucial to my setup.  Updates shouldn't work this way.

As with other situations where a window is not visible, it is likely just off-screen where you can't see it. If your main "Final Cut Pro" window becomes inactive (close, minimize, and zoom buttons turn grey) when you attempt to open the "Background Tasks" window, this indicates that the window is definitely opened, it's just offscreen somewhere.
You can solve this problem by forcing FCPX to gather up all of its windows without having to delete your preferences:
1. Attempt to open the Background Tasks window in FCPX,
2. Switch to System Preferences->Displays and change your display resolution,
3. Switch back to FCPX and verify that you now have your missing window back,
4. Switch back to System Preferences and change your resolution back to its previous setting (likely the "Best for display" radio button).

  • Internet sharing no longer works after 10.5.3 upgrade

    I'm aware that a number of people seem to be having wireless networking problems after upgrading to 10.5.3. I apologise if this has been covered somewhere else, but after trawling the forum I haven't been able to find any posts which deal with my specific issue. So any suggestions would be gratefully received...
    My 24" 2.8GHz Intel iMac (purchased in Feb 2008) is connected to the internet via ethernet cable through a Speedtouch router supplied by my ISP, o2.
    This internet connection is shared wirelessly with the other computer in the house, a G4 MDD running 10.3.9. After switching on Internet Sharing within System Preferences on the iMac, the G4 picks up and connects to the network created by the iMac, which is called (My Name)'s iMac.
    All very straightforward, and until a few days ago this set up worked perfectly.
    Then I decided to upgrade the iMac from 10.5.1 to 10.5.3, using the Combo updater downloaded from the Apple website.
    As far as the iMac is concerned, the upgrade went perfectly and I have no problems whatsoever. I can still access the internet without difficulty as before.
    The problem is with the G4. It no longer picks up the network from the iMac. The network's name ((My Name)'s iMac) no longer appears in the drop-down list under the Airport icon in the G4's menu bar (although this list does still contain the names of various neighbours' networks, as it did before, so the Airport in the G4 does still seem to be functioning). Internet sharing on the iMac is still switched on, and the Airport icon in its menu bar indicates that it is "transmitting", but the G4 is just not "receiving" any more. As a result, we can't get online on the G4.
    I would be very grateful if anyone could shed any light on this problem. If there is any further information I can supply which might help, please ask.
    Steve

    Hi SteveSCA-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
    Have you tried powering everything down and then back up again?
    Have you repaired permissions on the iMac?

    To go along with Michael's suggestion, something like AA9.2 is needed for X64 systems I think. Also, be careful. Acrobat is not licensed for use on a server. Using it as a user is fine, but not as a server application. Read the license carefully.

  • My internet sharing just stopped working

    My internet sharing just stopped working mysteriously. I repaired permissions, I restarted my machine. I also renamed my Internet Sharing network. Any ideas?

  • Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

    Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update. Hopefully Apple will fix this shortly. Little excuse for this kind of screw-up.

    so here is da answer
    1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
    2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
    3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
    then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
    then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
    please use da steps!

  • My distributed form has stopped working after Acrobat did an update the form no longer appears in my tracker.

    I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
    The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
    It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
    Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
    Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
    Has anyone else had the same problem?
    Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.

    First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.
    enjoy free web..... :)

  • My iPad 1 has stopped working after trying to instal iOS 5. Can you help restore?

    My iPad has stopped working after trying unsuccessfully to instal iOS5. All that's currently showing on the iPad screen is a white USB cable with a thick arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo (black double note within a white rimmed circle and a blue background).I cannot switch it off and have seemingly lost everything that was on it.
    Please help!

    That means you have to restore the device with iTunes now. So connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore the iPad.

  • "Internet Explorer Has Stopped Working" error message

    I have Windows Vista and have uninstalled all of itunes and all applications including Quick Time. I have gone to itunes.com to re-install itunes but it will not allow me to do that. Each time that I do I get the error message, "Internet Explorer has stopped working" and asks if I want to shut it down. I have shut it down, which didn't help, and I have just closed the dialog box which takes me to a window thanking me for loading itunes, but there is no itunes to be found on my computer. I also was told my popup filter was too high and medium was recommended, in checking that out it was already set on medium. Anyone know how to solve this?

    Hello,
    Please check this HP document and let me know if this has resolved your problem:

  • Internet Explorer has stopped working & causes windows to close the program Pavillion QU297AA#ABG

    I have a HP Pavillion QU297AA#ABG operating on Windows 7.  Since day one of installation I click on links and get the message
    Internet Explorer has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to sto working correctly.  Windows will close the program & notify you if a solution is available.
    I know it it not my internet as my laptop when used on my home wireless connection does not have this problem & neither did my previous desktop that I upgraded.  I also do not believe I have a virus as I have an AVG (the paid version) antivirus scan set to run everyday to detect problems.  This is so frustrating can anyone offer a solution as I have had this problem ever since I connected my new desktop pavillion.
