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.

  • 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 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 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 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 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.

  • Internet sharing not working in lumia 520

    Internet sharing has to be made available from your carrier based on your data plan.
    I would contact them.

  • Home sharing not working since last update

    Just updated my Apple TV3 to the lastes software and now the home sharing is constantly dropping. i can watch for a few seconds and then the entire network shutsdown and i have to restart it.
    Anyone else has the same problem?

    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol
    Used By
    80
    TCP
    HTTP

    49163
    UDP
    MDNS (Win)
    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • Phone not working since 5.1.1 Upgrade

    I received my Iphone as a gift 2 months ago. It was bought in China from an official Apple store. I then went to my local service provider and received a micro-sim on a pay-as-you-go deal. Phone worked perfectly for 2 and half months. I did the 5.1.1 update two nights ago and now the phone is saying:
    "Only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the sim card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier store to receive a replacement sim card."
    I visited both VODACOM (in South Africa) and IStore (3rd party retailer of APPLE as there is NO Apple store in Africa). I put in the original AT&T sim, the phone switched on and recognises me but obviously there is no service because AT&T is not in South Africa. I then put in my Vodacom sim and it rejects it. I used the phone perfectly for 2+months and since the update this problem occured.
    Help.

    HI. If you read the question properly ... You will read that the phone was purchased from an official Apple store in China! I live in South Africa and no where on the African continent is there an official Apple store. So the phone is NOT a reject or hacked phone.
    BUt it could have possibly reverted to an AT&T lock even though I never had to unlock it!!! It worked perfectly until I did the 5.1.1 update

  • Help Apache not working since 10.4.10 upgrade

    Hello
    I have web sharing turned on and I run a small web page on my mac to host photos and such. It was working great until I upgraded to 10.4.10. Now nothing will connect to my web server at all. I have a power PC mac. When I turn on web sharing on my wife's Intel iMac it works fine (i see the apache splash page). Does anyone know what could be broken in 10.4.10? I've tried to restart the web server a few times (it goes on and off but nothing can connect to it).
    -Josh

    I'm a little embarrassed. FIOS happened to change my IP address (after having it be static for over 3 months) at the exact time I updated to 10.4.10. All I had to do was update my DNS entry and all worked fine. It was tough to figure out because I redirect to 8080 to get around FIOS's residential service blocking port 80 (which Comcast never did, also I had the same exact IP address with comcast for 4 years despite it being "dynamic"). I thought I was having Apache problems, then I thought it was PHP. It ended up being quite a simple problem. Thanks for your help all.

  • HP Apps Not Working Since Win 8.1 Upgrade

    Just trying to run my Officejet 8600 via WiFi using the HP Scan and Capture, and HP AiO Printer Remote apps.
    I was able to use them successfully  before the upgrade to Windows 8.1, but now the apps just launch, and then indefinitely do nothing. The icons appear in my dock, but when clicked just trigger the animation of a window opening that then immediately disappears.
    I did a series of maneuvres in command prompt to enable SOME apps to work after the OS upgrade, but apparently that hasn't fixed either of my two HP applications.
    I see lots of people just saying "Help, oh no, my printer won't work" while providing little to no explanation of their problem. Hopefully this is enough to get somewhere? Any advice is welcome.
    I'm running a desktop PC that I put together in 2012: Asus motherboard, >3ghz AMD cpu, 16gig ram, Nvidia graphics, solid state HD, so I doubt I have a hardware problem.
    Of course, I could just use a USB drive for scanning, but it really frustrates me that the features for which I specifically picked this printer suddenly won't work. And I don't even know if one can print from USB, but that's more trouble than I'm willing to go through on a regular basis. I assume I'd at least have to PDF everything first... no thanks.
    Please help! Happy to troubleshoot or provide more information as necessary.

    Hi misterjones 
    Have you tried uninstalling the store apps and reinstalling them?  If you have trouble uninstalling, you can refer to this article 
    e.g. powershell Remove-AppxPackage AD2F1837.HPPrinterControl_50.0.0.0_x86__v10z8vjag6ke6
    You can then reinstall HP AiO Remote and HP Scan and Capture from the Windows Store.
    I work for HP.
