Internet sharing keeps starting upon reboot.

I have lion installed on a mac mini with 2 usb ethernet adapters.  Everytime I reboot the mac mini, it enables Internet Sharing and changes the IP on the 2 USB ethernet interfaces to 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.3.1.  How do I stop this from happening.  Disabling it in the preferences panel and resetting the IP addresses on each interface get wiped out once the server is rebooted.

Bump - Any Ideas?

  • Internet Sharing never starts completely and gives IP addresses

    Hi,
    I'm trying to start internet connection sharing and fail to. Here are symptoms: Trying to share connection from Ethernet through AirPort, enabling Internet sharing in Sys Pref, then Pref pane shows green lamplight and says "Opening your shared connection" (or smth like this, I run non-English version of Mac OS X), and never leaves this state (never start saying "Sharing connection").
    While in this state, I've checked if IP address was assigned to wifi card, and that was not the case. Guessing this could be the reason, but searching in these forums and general internet gave me no answer.
    Firewall is not enabled, afaik.
    What could be the reason of issue? Some errors with DHCP?
    Best regards,
    Petr

    Yes, I've seen the cure in this particular Forum some months ago, (unfortunately I didn't bookmark it!).
    If it helps, the pseudo router in the Mac always hands out x.x.2.x addies, which has been a bugaboo if you had any other x.x.2.x device in the mix, somewhere a few months after that discovery, some Guru here posted exactly what you need... sorry I can't help you more!

  • Internet Sharing keeps needing to be reset

    Hello-I am using internet sharing to allow my iPhone, iPad, and 2nd iMac access to my cable internet connection. This certainly works fine, except lately, I will try to connect to the internet on my phone, and the web pages do not load. I can fix it by going to internet sharing preferences, turning off sharing, and then turning it back on again. This is annoying, because I'm usually in the other room when I want to use the internet on one of these devices. Is there a way to fix this? I called AppleCare, and they just had me restore from Time Machine backup, which didn't resolve the issue.

    Hi gallaghm,
    That's not good when you notice the drop in speed is your computer connected wirelessly or wired?  If it's wireless it could be a problem with the wireless channel and resetting the hub is changing this for you. Check out this link and let me know if this helps.
    Thanks

  • DB starting upon reboot

    Im using 10g.
    I can shut down my database properly but when I reboot my computer the database starts up again. How can I change it so it won't start unless I manually start it. So no database startup upon computer reboot??

    I asked
    Which operating system ?You answered
    PCI would suggest you do not touch the database until you understand what the operating system is.
    If you mentioned your operating system, then you could have got a quciker answer instead of ifs and buts.
    If by saying "PC" you meant Windows, then follow the Windows examples. i.e from Windows Services, change the service to Manaul. If you know how to change in the registry you can also set the db start property to false.

  • IMac Internet Sharing keeps dropping

    I have set my iMac to share my internet connection so that I can use my MacBook wherever I am in my halls/dorm.
    Since last year the connection between them keeps dropping multiple times per day and I'm left with an exclamation mark on the Airport icon on my MacBook. It sometimes resolved by renewing the DHCP lease on my iMac and sometimes by restarting Airport, but most of the time both fail and if they do work it's never for very long (a few minutes). The only way to get it working properly again is to restart my iMac.
    I've also noticed that whenever the connection drops, a new network appears in the Airport menu called "Free Public WiFi". When I looked this up it seems to be an issue with Windows; something I stay well clear of and have never connected to or allowed anyone to connect to my network.
    Does anyone know what the issue is and how I could resolve it?

    It sounds to me that you are getting interference from a competing wi-fi signal on the same channel/frequency. Unfortunately, that is getting more common as more folks go wi-fi. Which is why in this house we are strictly ethernet, even though one Mac has a 25 meter cable to connect! There are now 7 wi-fi networks among my neighbors. (But ethernet is much faster than wi-fi, and my LAN flies with the new 10 Meg fiber optic service we just had installed! And for less cost than the 4 Meg copper wire ADSL we had from the cable company.)
    I would try switching to another channel. I am not familiar with how many you have in the UK to use. It is best if you can get a free channel that has at least one network free channel between you and another signal. So if you know of another network on channel 6, then try to be at least on channel 4, if 5 is also free, or 8, if 7 is also free.

  • 10.7.1 update doesn't fix my internet sharing problem

    I've updated my Macbook (late 2008) to 10.7.1 today. I'm disappointed to find that the internet sharing issue still exists. I can ping websites through it, but wget never work. Google.com is accessible while other sites don't load on my iPod touch and Palm Pre Plus. But it did work fine within seconds after internet sharing was started. And internet sharing on my iMac with 10.6.8 works perfectly.
    I'm using PPPoE to connect to the internet. I guess there are some problems with MTU (maximum transmission unit).
    Don't tell me to change wifi channel or set password, it doesn't help.

    Internet sharing worked on 10.7 after doing 1 tweak, that is by changing my Computer Name in internet sharing to something else other than the default one... however after upgrading to 10.7.1, the upgrade would mess up with the same tweaks again. It brought my Computer Name to its default, however when I clicked on edit it would give the changed name... I noticed that it has something to do with the IP Address but in any case I did the following and it works again for me on 10.7.1:
    1) Go to System Preferences>Sharing and click on Internet Sharing (don't 'tick' it yet!)
    2) After upgrading to 10.7.1, the Computer Name displayed on the Internet Sharing Screen would revert to the original, i.e. YourName's MacBook Pro. However, upon click edit next to the space where you can enter your Computer Name, it would give the name I had given while I was on 10.7.
    3) Now you just have to make sure that both names are identical (do not use the default name YourName's MacBook Pro). Please see snapshot below (yes, my Computer Name is 'Network-Error', so don't be surprised:))!
    4) Once you have confirmed that both names are identical, you are set to go and you may 'tick' the Internet Sharing option
    5) An arrow facing upwards will appear instead of the wireless icon on the top tray and your device such as an iPhone should connect without any issues (an IP address will be given).
    Note: the other options that I have kept in the Wi-Fi Options tab are as follows:
    1) Network Name: should be identical to the one you have entered above
    2) Channel: 11
    3) Security: 40-bit WEP
    4) Password: I've entered a five-digit password that contains numbers
    To confirm that its working for me, I've added a screenshot from my iPhone below:
    It doesn't work for me. Thanks anyway.

  • Disabling auto switch off Internet Sharing Lumia 7...

    Is there anyway to disable the auto switch off of the auto switch off feature of the Internet Sharing on the Lumia 710?
    The reason I ask, is that I want to set this up as my main Internet connection at home using the Three UK One Plan Unlimited Data plan with the phone linked via Internet Shaing to a range extender which all my family can then connect to but the Internet Sharing keeps switching off after a few minutes of inactivity.
    This is obviously really annoying as I then have to go upstairs and turn on Internet Sharing again.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There are two things you can try:
    1) Keep the AC cable plugged in. It will not shut down WiFi when connected to AC, as the shutting down is a powermanagement feature as I understood.
    2) Keep the screen on (unverified, just a thing you can try to keep the lock timeout to 'forever'. I believe this is related to the powermanagement as well.)

  • Why does my Internet sharing turn off daily?

    Why does internet sharing keep turning off?

    Are the Airport bars still black & showing good signal when it gets lost?
    Could there be another Network nearby on the same channel?
    Any Microwave sources like TVs, Cell Phones, Ovens around?
    Does the one providing Internet remain connect to the Internet when this happens?
    Is the Ethernet Interface on the Mac that connects to the Internet dragged to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, with Airport below it?

  • Trying to use Internet Sharing, but it keeps turning off.

    Hello all,
    Alright, so I'm in a dorm room that connects to a wired ethernet network using 802.1X authentication. My MBP does that just fine. The only problem is getting my Xbox 360 online. The Xbox does not support 802.1X authentication, and the only thing the school said I could do was use a second ethernet port on my computer and Windows ICS. Of course, I know that Apple also has an ICS type thing of it's own through Internet Sharing.
    I'm using the Linksys USB200M USB-Ethernet adapter as my second ethernet port. I've tried connecting to the internet using it and it works great.
    The only problem I'm getting is keeping the Internet Sharing on. Everytime I turn it on, Share FROM Built-In Ethernet, and check mark the Ethernet Adapter (en3), the thing won't stay on. I'll change them menu, go back, and it's turned off.
    I've searched for an answer, which required me to delete the com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist out of Library/Preferences. This DID NOT WORK.
    I would really hate to have to boot into Windows Vista to use my Xbox 360, as I have been successful doing that. I like to work in OS X more than Vista.
    Thanks for your time,
    Jake

    Repair Permissions if you haven't yet, then the other file that can affect that is...
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    But it also holds all your Network info, so...
    Reboot after either or both, depending what you decide.

  • Upgraded but keep getting reboot message upon reboot?

    Please someone help me! I started seeing fishy stuff happen so I thought I would re-install mozilla-firefox was running 3.6 version, went to upgrade it asked me to reboot to make the changes go into effect. Upon rebooting I have the same message and nothing happened almost like its stuck in a loop! I have tried every method to reboot my computer even shutting down leaving it for at least 10 mins start back up try to open firefox! Boom same error messege "

    Have a look at the solution to a similar problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/921375?s=%22Your+computer+must+be+restarted+to+complete+a+previous+upgrade+of+Firefox.+Do+you+want+to+reboot+now%3F%22&r=0&e=sph&as=s
    If that doesn't work, you can uninstall FF and do a clean install. You'll prob lose your bookmarks, history, etc, though, so if you do this set up Sync first! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync-and-how-do-i-use-it

  • 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:
    8/11/12 12:01:13.634 PM

    Any help is appreciated!

    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

  • I am using system 10.7.3 and my I photo 9.2.3 keeps crashing upon start up.  Does anyone know how to correct this without losing my photos?

    I am using system 10.7.3 and my I photo 9.2.3 keeps crashing upon start up.  Does anyone know how to correct this without losing my photos?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
