Internet sharing via airport doesn´t work

Hello to everybody,
my problem is, when I do internet sharing via Airport on my imac (OSX 10.6.8) so I can use my ipad for surfing. The connection establishes for a short time and then it breaks down. Once in a while I can reconnect, but it´s constantly breaking.
I know, this problem is posted a million times, but it still seems not to be solved (or I didn´t find the right thread with the solution).
Bthw. I phoned the apple support. They wanted to charge € 49,--. Now I´m quite mad at apple. This *****. They are having a problem with their software and they want to charge me? That´s incredible. I can´t understand what´s the hype about apple. Such an awfull bad support they´re giving (or not giving at all).

OK. To your information. Today I tried the following: I switched off and on internet sharing twice after boot and voila, wifi seems to work fine. Yeah, that´s what I call a sophisticated computer system. Really crappy stuff!

  • Internet sharing via airport woes

    Hi,
    apparantly an thunderstorm fried my ethernet-card in my MBP this morning. Now I am struggling to get internet-access via my iBook G3 which has DSL-boradband via ethernet (pPOE) (either via firewire or airport) but don't succeed:
    1) file-sharing eithert via airport or ip over firewire works
    2) I have set up my iBook to share internet via airport, enabled web sharing as HELP recommends.
    Internet sharing nevertheless doesn't work for me: error message (in network-status) says (translated from German):
    …Airport has self-assigned IP-Address and is maybe not able to connect to the internet.
    I have used the built in settings, changed nithing manually. Any ideas?
    Greetings,

  • Can't do Internet Sharing via Airport, laptop PC to iMac

    Help! I'm trying to connect a Windows laptop to my Mac via AirPort to do Internet Sharing. I have Internet Sharing turned on and AirPort is on.
    The laptop PC can see the Mac, but it has a red X and the following message:
    "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network."

    I'm finding, after working at it for a while, that "Frank's Computer" shows up as an ad hoc network on the laptop PC and the wireless connection is solid, but Internet Sharing still isn't working. Is there a distinction between ad hoc networks and Internet Sharing? Could it not be working because an ad hoc setting has been made and Airport can't do two things at once?

  • Turning on Internet Sharing via Airport disrupts internet connection!

    I have a very strange problem.
    My iMac G5 (10.4.10) is connected to broadband via an Ethernet cable. Everything works perfectly, Google Earth works, emails come through, internet downloads are perfect...
    BUT!!
    When I turn on my Internet Sharing to share my Ethernet connection via my Airport connection (to let my husband surf the net on his PC) all **** breaks loose on my Mac.
    Google Earth does not function properly, all internet downloads (.dmg) come up with "codec overrun errors", all images sent via email downloaded through Entourage are corrupted, the list is endless. I have to turn off my Internet Sharing, turn off Airport, and then everything returns to normal again.
    Why is this, and can someone help stop the fights my Husband and I are having when it comes to sharing the Broadband connection through my Mac - I don't want to because my Mac goes crazy!
    Ta muchly!!!

    Sorry but an Ethernet hub will NOT properly share the ISP connection. The ISP only gives you a single IP address. If you use a hub (or Ethernet switch), the first computer you turn on will win and get the only IP address. The other computer will not be able to connect.
    To properly share the connection, you need to get a router. The router uses the single public IP address provided by your ISP and creates multiple local IP addresses for your computers.

  • IPhone 3Gs, Mac Pro Internet sharing via Airport connection problems

    Hi, I have internet sharing turned on in my Mac Pro for the Airport connection and it works very well with laptops, but I have trouble getting my iphone 3gs to connect to it sometimes.
    restarting the iphones does not help
    stopping and starting the airport does not help
    I can restart the Mac Pro, but that can be a pain, but does usually allow be to connect again for awhile...

    I've been having the same problems as everyone else here. Trying to share internet connection from my ethernet wired iMac to my MacBook and my iPhone. Tried all the workarounds, but nothing works, or lasts very long.
    Yesterday, I finally talked with AppleCare for over an hour. All their suggestions (trashing preferences, changing settings, etc.) failed, as well. The AppleCare person then put me on hold to speak to an engineer, who told her that Snow Leopard no longer supports Internet Sharing as of 10.6.1.
    Not willing to accept that answer, I had them set up an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar for me, and after chatting with the Genius for a while, he also confirmed that Internet Sharing is no longer supported under Snow Leopard. Apparently, there were many hardware issues that the engineers decided to circumvent, and so did not include support for Internet Sharing with the internal airport in Macs. They said that the Airport it is intended to receive, not to send a signals! Yet, it worked fine, doing just that, under Tiger and Leopard! The only fix he could offer was to wipe my drive and take me back to 10.5, which I declined.
    However both the guy at the Genius Bar and the lady at AppleCare inferred that Apple "may" release another update to fix this issue, if they get enough complaints and bug reports.
    So, there you have it. Apple no longer officially supports Internet Sharing in Snow Leopard.

  • Connecting my Powerbook to my iMac for internet sharing via airport

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    I have given up trying to get an answer to my Airport problem and NTL Virgin.
    I now have my iMac connected to web via ethernet all okay for a week now so it can't be my connection that was the problem.
    I need to connect my PowerBook to the internet now at the same time. I would obviously like to do this using wireless technology. I was hoping to web share my iMacs connection via the airport cards on both macs but seem to be struggling.
    I can set up a new network on the iMac and get the PowerBook to see it but it won't connect to the internet.
    Any advice would be great thanks

  • Internet shared via Airport Express - Speed control

    Good morning all,
    I am using an AirPort Express base station to share my internet connection between two computers. I have a cable modem connected to the AirPort Express, and both my iMac and my brother's PC connect wirelessly to the AirPort Express base station.
    Now the problem is that the PC is using extensively the bandwidth, whereas the Mac cannot hardly browse the web. As I do not need a fast connection to the Mac all the time, but only in specific occasions, I would like to be able to control how much of the internet bandwith is used by each of the computers connected to the Airport Express base station.
    I have checked the manual setup in the AirPort utility, but I cannot find this setting.
    Does this exist? Can it be done?
    (I know I can ban a specific computer from connecting to the network, but this is not what I want).
    Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.

    This feature is NOT available on any of Apple's base stations.

  • Internet connection via Airport Extreme/router thats not working, why?

    I have been having problems with the internet connection via Airport Extreme which I find it a bit unusual and its still driving me nuts! This is what happened:
    I have lost my internet connection last Sunday evening upon my return from a weekend away from home. The last time I have used the internet connection on my macbook was the previous Friday morning. Prior to the apparent disconnection on Sunday, I have always used my internet connection wirelessly through Airport Extreme (that is connected via ethernet cable to the NETGEAR DG834v2 ADSL modem which had worked beautifully until the problem arose on my return). This wireless internet connection allowed me to surf the internet anywhere in my home.
    However, upon the successful re-connection to the internet via the modem router, I have discovered several new problems. I have tried to set up the internet connection wirelessly again but instead the following happened:
    1. Router (Netgear) drops ADSL connection and cannot reconnect when connected to airport via Ethernet. (which is the case when using airport wireless).
    2. Router connects to ADSL fine when computer is connected to it via Ethernet. (However, router disconnects when magsafe power adapter is taken out for some inexplicable reason!)
    3. Router connects to ADSL fine when nothing is connected to the router (ie. No Ethernet connections)
    4. Router connects to ADSL fine when connected to airport via Ethernet and computer is connected to airport via Ethernet.
    So from the above, I cannot connect to the internet properly whether wirelessly or not so I suspect it could be faulty router or could it be airport extreme? I have asked my ISP for an explanation and all they have said is that it cannot be the mis-configuration but could be to do with the power adaptors or the way plugs are set up and suggested I take out all the power plugs (and power surge protector) out to switch everything off, the macbook, router, printer and airport extreme. However, when I have re-plugged them all back in, the problems I have described above still persists!
    Would appreciate any help if anyone here recognises why this is the case and what seems to be the cause of this. If so, what should I do? Though I have written back to my ISP again yesterday for more help so im waiting to hear from them...
    Thanks

  • Internet sharing via dongle, how to set password for wifi network created?

    I am using a USB dongle with my Mac book Pro to share internet through AirPort, so that i can access my mac book's wifi from my iphone. This works great, but it is an open network and I woud like to set up a password.
    If anyone can point me in the direction I would be very grateful!
    Thanks

    If you are using OS X's Internet Sharing feature, then you can configure wireless security on your Mac's internal AirPort Card but are limited by the OS X version that you are using. It was not until Mountain Lion that Apple provided WPA2 security. Prior to this only WEP was available.
    You configure Internet Sharing via System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing. (I don't have 10.6.x on any of my Macs so this may be different for your case.) Once you configure what is shared, you can then add wireless encryption.

  • Custom icon on a disk shared via Airport Extreme

    I have a USB hard drive that I am sharing via an airport extreme. In the finder, under "Shared" I see my airport extreme. When I click on that, I see my external drive. I would like to change the icon for that, but the standard Get Info -> paste doesn't seem to work.
    I've tried to set a custom icon on a test folder on my hard drive and it works. I also tried it on a test folder on the USB drive shared via airport extreme, and that worked. But I can't set the icon for the drive itself. Any suggestions?

    No, they pulled it, even though Steve promised the wireless backup feature in his latest keynote. One hour into it to be exact.
    http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/d7625zs/event/
    Now, I am very much against releasing a product before its ready, so I respect them for that. However Steve VERY clearly states that it was already working and would release with Leopard. He usually makes a very very clear distinction between things they "can/might" do and things that are working. He even goes into detail about how all the house macs can wirelessly use the same backup through the Airport Express. THEY EVEN HAVE A PICTURE of it!
    So they need more time, okay. But I feel lied to. The least they could do is make a press release with an ETA! The hush hush, makes it seem like they are going to scrap it and pretend it never happened.

  • IPhone - OSX 10.5.6 internet sharing via wifi has packet loss

    I try to access the web on the iPhone (for testing purposes) via the bult-in internet sharing capability of my MacBookPro via WiFi. I get very slow connections and high packet loss on distances of less than a foot.
    If I activate Internet sharing (eth0 - AirPort) I have packet loss of up to 80% on a Ping to the iPhone. This results in an unusable connection. In this case the iPhone gets a DHCP address from the DSL box (10.0.2.2). Pay attention to the HUGE standard deviation of the packets in case of the internet sharing!!
    If anyone has config hints, I appreciate that very much. Does anyone know how to bridge en0 to Airport with WEP enabled?
    Internet sharing activated:
    --- 10.0.2.2 ping statistics ---
    202 packets transmitted, 150 packets received, 25% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 18.312/1768.538/8198.289/2201.202 ms
    If I set up a Computer-Computer network with a WEP password I get no packet loss, but of course I cannot access the internet that way because there is no way in preferences to bridge the networks.
    --- 169.254.246.154 ping statistics ---
    443 packets transmitted, 442 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.441/1.983/57.068/2.691 ms

    I accidentally found a workaround:
    1. Activate internet sharing
    2. Goto network preferences and use AirPort: "Create network ..."
    3. Check require Password and create a C2C network
    4. The Airport Icon changes from the up-arrow to the computer icon
    5. Connect with the iPhone.
    Packet loss is gone and sharing works fine.
    BIG BUG: Procedure has to be repeated every time AirPort is turned on/off, as Internet Sharing disables/resets the airport setup!

  • Screen-Sharing and Internet-Sharing via same network connection

    Hello out there,

  • Slow internet connection via AirPort on MacBook running 10.5.7

    The internet connection via AirPort on my MacBook is frustratingly slow, and I have no idea why.
    I have an AirPort Extreme connected to a Virgin Media cable modem, a new iMac and a two year-old MacBook, both running 10.5.7. No problems at all with the wireless connection on the iMac - I get the full near-10Mbps download speed I'm paying for, despite the fact it's at the other end of the house. Not so on the MacBook, where I get barely 2Mb, even if I'm sat next to the router.
    I've had other AirPort problems since the 10.5.6 update - notably one common to a lot of people on here, it seems, of the AirPort dropping the wireless connection every 2 mins. This was only 'fixed' by the fairly drastic workaround of essentially abandoning my user account and connecting via a different one.
    For the slow internet problem, I've tried resetting the PRAM, turning off my cordless landline phone, changing the wireless channel - to no avail. I can't test the wired connection as my MacBook doesn't recognise my Ethernet port, it would seem, and hasn't for a long time.
    Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    I assume that you meant NVRAM as PRAM is not used with Intel-based Macs. Regardless, network settings are not stored here and resetting it won't really help. The fact that your MacBook is not recognizing the built-in Ethernet port is telling me that may have an issue with the system board ... that may be showing up as poor performance with the AirPort as well. I suggest that you take your MacBook in to your local Apple Store to have them take a look.

  • AirPort doesn't work after Leopard install

    I have an iMac 20" 2GHz Core 2 Duo and my AirPort doesn't work. I reset my PRAM, erased the hard drive and installed a clean copy of Leopard after picking it up from the Retail store. I had exactly the same problem with 9A559 and the seed update and I ASSUMED it would be fixed by the time the final release is out. It doesn't detect any networks, even if i move the access point very close to the computer. I tried disabling all security on the access point. Tried changing channels. Tried resetting the access point to defaults and reconfiguring from scratch. Tried manually putting the SSID in on the iMac but none of it worked. The access point is a Linksys WAG54G with the latest firmware. If anyone can help me, please do because the AirPort is the ONLY way this computer can access the internet.

    Just to clarify my situation:
    Erase and install of Leopard
    Airport card is detected:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x89)
    Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.25.10)
    Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
    No networks are available for selection, (i can normally see 4 or 5)
    System.log has:

    I'm about two feet from my wireless router, none of the other (Tiger) computers have issues connecting to it.
    Anyone else see the Apple80211Scan entries?
