Internet sharing not working in lion. Bug?

Hi guys - Internet sharing of my office ethernet connection is gone. It just doesn't work anymore. I hope that if we insist flagging this, they will fix it. It was really useful at work to share my connection with mobile devices.

Seems like there is no fix yet. Whenever I turn on internet sharing, the wifi will get a self assigned ip of 169.X.X.X and no wifi devices like iphone can get an ip by connecting to this network. It was working fine prior to Lion.

Lumia 920 Internet Sharing not working with Window...

I am unable to get Internet Sharing to work from a nokia Lumia 920 to Dell XPS running Windows 8 with Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030. Help !!
Things I have tried:
+ Checked the phone was actually working with Internet sharing: Different laptop running Winows XP connected fine, everything worked
+ Checked the Dell XPS could connect to inernet sharing using an HTC One as the hot spot: everything worked fine.
+ Tried turning on FIPS: made no difference:
+ Tried updating/different drivers: made no difference
+ Tried turning of N, and only using g: made no difference
+ Tried different access point settigns on the phone: made no difference
This is one of those things I expect to just work, like it does when the phoen is used with a different laptop, or when a different phone is used with this laptop.
I've run out of ideas. Any help appreciated.

Finally fixed it. First I tried using the latest Intel drivers, but to no avail. So I did a driver rollback, and that seems to be working. Driver version now at 14.2.1.3, Microsoft release.
So problem is a compaitibility issue with the drivers on the windows laptop. All I can advise others having similar problems is keep trying different drivers (newest not necessarily the best)

Internet Sharing not working in 10.5.8

I'm running a Mac mini (PowerPC) with Leopard.
My situation is a little different from most. My Mac mini is connected to my network via AirPort. I use it in my home office, which is located some distance from where my Internet connection comes into the house.
I have a Nortel IP phone for working remotely from my main office. In the past, i have successfully used it with my Mac mini via Internet sharing. By turning on Internet sharing and connecting the IP phone to the Mac mini via Ethernet, it finds its server and connects without issue. I do get occasional dropouts due to the wireless bandwidth, but nothing too severe.
A few weeks ago, i updated the Mac mini to Leopard, and applied all the updates to bring it up to the most recent version available, 10.5.8. My Internet sharing no longer works.
I have tried reinstalling the 10.5.8 combo updater. I have tried the workarounds where a kext from 10.5.7 is swapped out for the more recent one. I've tried rebooting. I've tried manually setting the DHCP address on the Ethernet connection. Nothing works.
Apple, please issue a fix for this issue. My only other option at this point seems to be an archive-and-install of Leopard, then applying the 10.5.7 Combo Updater and freezing my machine there.
Are there any other fixes or workarounds that can get Internet Sharing working again? It works fine on my Snow Leopard machine.
This bug is a huge pain in the butt.

I'm having this problem but it was after I installed security update 2010-003, that put my at OS X 10.6.3.
My internet sharing isn't working but moreover, my Ethernet port isn't working at all. I can't find anything on this issue. I just updated this morning and I usually use the internet sharing to share the airport connection through the Ethernet port and have never experienced a problem until now. Now matter what I do, after restart, putting it in sleep and everything I can think of, it still says Ethernet cable is unplugged.
did you ever find a fix?

Internet Sharing not working since 10.6.6 upgrade

Hi all. Hopefully someone can help me as I've been racking my brains on this one.
I originally had Internet Sharing setup from ethernet cable to airport and working perfectly. I could then access the internet wirelessly using my iphone and mac book.
Since upgrading to 10.6.6 (at least I think so) it has stopped working.
Internet is working perfectly on mac mini and other devices can access the internet through working wireless modem downstairs. I need to turn on Internet sharing through the mac mini so that we have internet on the 3rd floor of our townhouse.
I've tried switching off Internet Sharing, then restarting the computer, turning it on again and switching on internet sharing with a different network name, password, channel etc. Nothing seems to get it working again.
I've emptied the trash (200,000 files which is a bit of a worry) and repaired permissions.
Any suggestions would be a great help.
Cheers

No solution here; I'm having the same problem.
In a hotel with wired Ethernet to my MacBook Pro. Once I enable Internet Sharing, the Pro's Internet connectivity goes down. Looks like I get two "default" routes. I can connect my iPhone4 fine to the WiFi created, with WEP enabled; that's not my problem.

Internet sharing not working anymore

Hi all,
since I've installed Snow Leopard i can't anymore share my internet connection with other devices / computers. Everything worked perfectly on Leopard, but now when i turn on internet sharing via airport, other devices (macBook Pro and ipod touch / iphone) CAN connect to network but CAN'T connect to the internet. (document share not working to...)
Also if I create a simple airport network (no internet sharing) computers can't connect to each others and share documents.
Please help as everything was working greatly with Snow Leopard, but this is such a big problem that I would have to go back (great pain and job interruption) to leopard...
Tried deleting / recreating positions, and to cancel pref files but same problem....

I have a first gen iPhone and just got mine working today by following these steps.
The following procedure is confirmed to work as written.
Start Internet Sharing if it's not already running.
In Terminal, type cp /etc/bootpd.plist /tmp/bootpd.plist
Stop Internet Sharing.
Open "open -e /tmp/bootpd.plist" for editing using TextEdit or whatever.
Locate this section of the file, near the end:
<key>replythresholdseconds</key>
<integer>4</integer>
Change the value 4 to 0.
In Terminal, type sudo cp /tmp/bootpd.plist /etc
Start Internet Sharing.
If you want to, check that your change to /etc/bootpd.plist hasn't been reverted.
Then i just restarted my phone and everything seems to working for the past few hours.

Internet sharing not working on my Macbook Pro

I am trying to connect my DSi to the internet using the internet sharing on my mac since I am at school. I successfully connected it last year but am having no luck this year. I used this website (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20051119155606277) both times, but am having no luck this time. I entered all of the correct information into my DSi so I am thinking it may have something to do with the Macbook Pro.

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

Internet Sharing not working after updated to 10.9.2

I am using internet sharing from my broadband. But my ipad and other devices unable to join the network after updating to 10.9.2 just now.

Screen Sharing Not Working in Lion

I cannot enter into remote systems via screen sharing since Lion upgrade.
Some basics
remote systems are 10.6 with screen sharing on. (same as last week)
I'm on the same vlan with no restrictions, and yes I can ping them.
I can open screen sharing, and authenticate as the remote's admin user, but it hangs on connection.
I've got 12 Xserves and 50+ MacPros on 10.6 and had / have no issues connecting to those when I'm connecting from 10.6.
I havent yet looked at the logs of the remote units, but I'm guessing this is a solid 10.6 vs 10.7 incompatibility. I'm begining to configure some Lion machines and want to be able to admin those as well as my 10.6 gear, (hopefully from one machine).
ANYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME ISSUE (OR NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE) WITH SIMILAR CONFIG?
T.I.A.

So some more info.
Now that I have a few Lion machines running Lion to Lion screen scharing works fine.
Sorry for the all caps before.
I do like the vitual desktop vs real desktop. In windows the whole virtual desktop does have it's drawbacks. But hey it's only windows.

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
I'd apprechiate any other suggestions

ITunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly

iTunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly. I can access with my three ATV2's watch a movie later that same day it tries to access and ATV2 just keeps trying and never gets through to the library. If I restart iTunes its fine then later can't access. I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on a i7 Mac Mini with 10.7.4. Sole job is to be iTunes server and an occasional HTPC with remote buddy running. I disabled remote buddy ajax remote feature, and file sharing is on so I can load new tracks form other macs Thats it, a vanilla install with all updates.. No problem prior but not sure if problem free period was with 10.6 earler versions or 10.5 versions. I update as warnings to do so come up. The remote app has same problem accessing the Home Share. I disabled home sharing on my iPhone and set to access the old method with 4 digit code and sees all the time and will play to my express base stations so seems to be home sharing issue because iPhone apps with home sharing on and ATV2s have issue accessing.
I'm never home but when I am I use this equipment loads and this weekend not reliable at all. I have firewall disabled, and setup is as before and is working fine. I am using Mini by ethernet and using AEBS 1st generation gigabit as router only wired to cable modem and whole house ethernet attached, latest version AEBS gigabit as a wireless bridge and 2 prior version 11n expresses and a 11g express, all expresses are set to wireless off and are connected to ethernet and then to a stereo in 3 different rooms.
I can't be only one. Considering downgrading to last version of 10.5 but not sure how to do this.
How many of you are having trouble?
Any resolutions?
How to report to Apple?
How to downgrade safely? Or is it 10.7.4?

I ran into the specific problem in another thread. There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes. You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem. iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
Now for what you really want! Set all of your ATVs to wifi only. Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also. I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100.
I also turned off ip v6. That could help you also. I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem. The wifi trick worked on both platforms. Several of us have bug reports into apple. I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem. The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much. What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion. It is totally non responsive to a point where i cannot work. all other CS5 programs seem to be running well so far. any advice? if no, then how do i revert back to Snow leopard?

I had real problems with all Adobe apps - it said I needed to install a version of Jave Runtime, but kept saying that I wasn't connected to the internet to complete the action. This was not the case - I was connected to the internet.
I followed this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421 to install a version of Java and all Adobe apps fire up now. Haven't done much testing within the apps, but at least I'm further ahead than I was.
So thanks to the message boards for helping me out.

Ukelele generated custom keyboard layouts not working in Lion?

I asked this question in the stackexchange site a few days ago. Nothing I've tried has worked so far, except for creating a new account. Because a fresh account works, it's got to be something with my preferences, right?
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/21691/ukelele-generated-custom-keyboard -layouts-not-working-in-lion
Here's the question from above:
I created a custom keyboard layout with Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele) in Snow Leopard (idea is to generate scandinavian letters with Alt-key, otherwise have a pretty much standard U.S. layout). After the upgrade, the old installed (to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts) layout wasn't working.
Ukelele seems to work OK in Lion, but whether I put the generated keylayout in a bundle or single file, or save it "/Library/Keyboard Layouts" or "~/Library/Keyboard Layouts" doesn't seem to matter.
Help?
EDIT:
@Sergio, I cannot choose the layout in Input Sources. One keylayout file I tried:http://semeai.org/~sjl/us-scands.keylayout
[EDIT: Removed unrelated stuff]
UPDATE 2011/08/15:
@Tom:
Copied your keylayout (it naturally ended up in my Junk folder):
midgard (01:55) >ls -l ~/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/MongolianQWERTY.keylayout-rw-r--r--@ 1 sjl staff 44536 Mar 13 2008 /Users/sjl/Library/Keyboard Layouts/MongolianQWERTY.keylayout
Logged out, logged in, isn't showing in Input sources (I'm looking very closely between "Maori" and "Myanmar - QWERTY").
I've also uninstalled bunch of software and plugins giving suspicious messages to system.log, but hasn't helped.
UPDATE 2011/08/16:
I created a test account, and lo, the layout works perfectly for it. Also the bug in preferences doesn't show for that account. When trying this on my own account, there are no errors in Console logs with the suggested keywords (I can't seem to locate console.log file, though).
UPDATE 2011/08/16 later:
Nuking Library/Caches (and relogging) didn't help.
UPDATE 2011/08/17:
I did
% find Library -name "*.plist" -exec mv {} {}.renamed \;
and restarted, but it didn't help. I restored the situation with
% for file in `find Library -name "*.plist.renamed"`; \ do mv "$file" "${file//.renamed/}"; done
addendum: I also went through all the .plist files with plutil -s as described inhttp://www.askdavetaylor.com/can_i_check_my_plist_files_in_mac_os_x_for_problems .html. There was some brokennes, but in very unrelated applications.

Tom,
I think I love you.
That absolutely did it! Thanks so much!
If you'll answer with the same link in the stackexchange site, I'll mark the answer as correct, so you'll get the rep there.
Thanks,
Sami
