Internet Sharing with OS X 10.4.3

Having an eMac (OS X 10.4.3) owns WiFi internet connection.
PC (Windows XP Professional) connects to eMac via Ethernet switch. PC can ping eMac, but not able to browse internet.
iBook (10.4.3) connects to eMac via Ethernet switch. iBook can ping eMac, but not able to browse internet. Ran Network Diagnostics on iBook. "Built-In Ethernet", "Network Settings" and "ISP" buttons are green. "Internet" button is red.
Each of the three computers can connect to the internet individually via dial-up modem. eMac and iBook can connect to the internet via AirPort individually with no problems.
On eMac, internet sharing started with share internet connection from AirPort to computers using Build-in Ethernet. I also ensured the workgroup name is the same on PC and Mac SMB/CIFS.
What else should I do to be able to browse internet on PC and iBook vis internet sharing on the eMac?
eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Well, Duan, I managed to get the PC to work as well. (Don't ask me what I did.
Now, I am trying to the PC to share the internet connection owned by the iBook, but I just can't. I checked to make sure the iBook has the same settings at the eMac and PC settings remain the same when the treo worked together.
Any hints?
BTW, when the treo worked together, I couldn't get to some of my mail servers. I'd assume it's a DNS issue. What can I do.
NOW, the reason that I can't use a "cheap router" is I do not have an Ethernet cable access to the AirPort base station. It's two doors down.

  • How can I use Internet Sharing with Firewall on ?

    Hi,
    My PowerMac G5 is connected to the internet via Ethernet. I share the connection to a Powerboog via Airport using internet sharing. Everything is working fine except when I turn the Firewall on. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107653 I tried opening port 443 but it still does'nt work. I'd like to be able to use internet sharing with the firewall on. Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

    Hmmm, how curious... I never had to do that in 10.4.7 or 10.4.8... the only ones I ever tried Internet Sharing with.
    I'm wondering if turning the Firewall on after the Internet sharing is what's doing it? Just for kicks you might try turning off Internet Sharing, then Firewall on, then turn on Internet Sharing.
    If that doesn't work, then I'd personally try trashing...
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
    Then reboot and try the Firewall again.

  • Iogear GBU211 and internet sharing with missing sync

    I have an iogear GBU211 bluetooth to usb adapter and it has been behaving strangely. I use the connection between my TT3 and the computer keeps dropping and it cannot complete a full sync over bluetooth. I would also like to take advantage of internet sharing over the palm. I decided to give missing sync a try. I was finally able to perform a hotsync (as long as I didn't try to install anything to the palm), but the real problem hits when I try to use internet sharing. I get a kernel panic everytime. Here is the snippet from the panic.log file.

    I would (i think) rather use the iogear as it has a better range and I don't want to go and buy the d-link. I dislike that apple is trying to force me to use the d-link adapter. Does anyone know of a fix for the iogear problem?

    I do understand what you're saying Michael, it isn't exactly profitable to offer broad range support, but at the same time, a little broader would be a nice thing. In the case of the IOGear module, it's packaging did have the os X logo on it (if memory serves me correctly) and it did state it will work in Mac os as well. With that in mind, one would think that either or both IOGear and Apple would know about this and make sure that it does work, or, barring that, Apple should have IOGear pull their compatibility statement off of their packaging. As a consumer, if a product I purchase states that it will work with my machine, I would expect it to do so with minimal headaches.
    In any case, as for my main problem (no wise cracks please), I caved and picked up the D-Link. I had a friend with a pee cee who needed a bluetooth adapter, so, for a "fair" price, I was able to go grab the D-Link.
    With the exception of it's shorter range than the IOGear BT adapter, it has worked flawlessly (so far).

  • Has anyone else had difficulty using WPA2 Internet sharing with their Apple TV? Any solutions?

    Hi.
    I've seen references to this on here, but no solutions.
    I use my 27" 2010 iMac to share Internet in my home, latest versions of OSX and iOS.. Works fine, sharing with iPhones, an iPad and my Apple TV 2.
    Recently though, I changed to WPA2, and the Apple TV can't see Home Sharing is on. If I switch security (ie WPA2) off, then it can see it again.
    So has anyone found a way to use WPA2 successfully with their Apple TV?
    Thanks in advance.

    I’d suggest uninstalling:
    Blackberry software
    the cycling74 driver
    Any HP “utilities” (regarding the HP IO. Apple told developers to stop using Startup Items back in 10.3.)
    any Adobe software you have (the “not loaded” ones are not loading because they’re incompatible.
    the com.apple.CSConfig one.
    facebook
    google keystone agent
    Unfortunately you have a lot of very questionable old, incompatible, and probably bad software on your Mac that is not playing well with Mavericks.  Some of these can be difficult to uninstall, particularly if you are not familiar with poking around in Mac system folders.
    You might consider cutting to the chase and doing a clean install:
    backup your documents and passwords, network settings, etc.
    Completely erase your hard drive
    Reinstall mavericks and your apps from scratch (not from backups)
    and finally replacing your documents.
    It can be a good thing. Spring cleaning. If you want to go this route, let me know, I can give you some more detailed suggestions for how to do it. The advantage is you can get Mavericks running really fast and reliably, and then be more selective about what you reinstall. A lot of the stuff you have on there is probably from apps you don't even use anymore (like for your Blackberry), or that really aren't necessary.

  • IMac internet sharing with WinXP

    Hello everyone,
    I'd like to post a little issue I found with my new iMac (OS X 10.5.7). I had it connected to the internet, directly through the ethernet cable modem. I used the Internet Sharing option to share the connection through Airport.
    I have a mac mini running Windows XP for media centre purposes. The XP in the mini sees the wifi network created by the iMac, but when I select the option to "connect", it suddenly reports an error and says the network is out of range...
    (Wifi network config: Automatic channel selection, WEP password only)
    Any ideas on what could be causing this? I "solved" the issue by reversing the process (i.e., connected the cable modem to the mini, created the network in XP, and connected the iMac to that network).
    My iPhone connects flawlessly to the internet through wifi on both configurations, as does my macbook...
    In either case, this is going to be a temporary solution until I can get a Time Capsule, so I'm more curious about cause of the problem than actually worried about it.
    Thanx in advance for any input on this!

    Based on your description of your devices this is how I would set this up.
    In System Prefs/Network make sure Airport is a network service in the list on the left. If it is not, add it to the list by clicking + and selecting AirPort from the Interface pulldown menu, give the service a name, such as AirPort and click Create. Highlight the service in the list on the left and Turn AirPort On to the right. Lastly, check the Internet Sharing box on the list to the left. (As you can see, you must do these steps in this order because as soon as you check the Internet Sharing box, the other options are greyed out and unavailable to configure.)
    In System Prefs/Sharing choose Ethernet from the Share your connection from pulldown menu. Then click the Airport option in the list for To computers using. In AirPort Options give your network a name, choose Enable encryption, and select 128-bit in the WEP Key Length pulldown menu. Because it is 128-bit you should enter a 13-character password and confirm the password. Click OK.
    I do not have Windows on a machine to actually set this up and test it, but I have XP on my Mac in a virtual machine and these are the instructions to connect to an encrypted, secure network;
    1. Open Network Connections.
    2. Click the wireless network connection icon, and then, in Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
    3. Under Related Tasks on the left, click Change the order of preferred networks.
    4. Click Add.
    5. In Network name (SSID), type a name for the wireless network.
    6. In Network Authentication, click an item in the list.
    7. If this is a security-enabled network, in Data encryption, select the encryption method.
    8. In Network key, type the network key, and then in Confirm network key, retype the key.

  • Wireless Internet Sharing with iPod touch - email yes, web no ???!?!?!!

    Okay - I really don't understand this!
    I'm using the following constellation: My MacMini ist connected by an Ethernet Cable to an AEB, which is used as the Internet Router (exactly: it brigdes the Internet connection). The Mini itself is surfing the Web fine. Now I opened the build-in Airport for Internet Sharing (using Ethernet; connecting through Airport). This is working nicely, when I connect to this Airport-Network with my MacBook Pro.
    But now, there is the problem: When try to use this connection with my iPod touch, I cannot open any website! Neither is You Tube working nor any of the Widgets. Buuuuut - I can send and receive emails without problems!
    Any explanation? Any help?
    Thanks!

    I have a similar problem - trying to share the internet connection of my MBP via airport to my ipod touch. It works sometimes. Directly after activating Internet Sharing it can load a page or two, then it usually gets stuck.
    At the (apple certified) store around the corner, they were able to reproduce the problem, but said it is a software problem, rather than an airport issue.
    There is another thread about random behaviour with internet sharing: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1164535&tstart=0
    On a friends iBook, the same thing works perfectly...
    My initial guess was a wrong mtu value - but couldn't fix it so far...

  • Internet Sharing With an iPod Touch??

    I've done a search and couldn't find anything. This might be better suited in a different forum but I'll try it here.
    I've got two laptops. The first is a MacBook (Intel) and the other is a PowerBook (PPC).
    I've been using the MacBook for all my work with my Touch. I do not have wireless at work so I use my MacBook and just share my internet via airport to get my Touch online. It's been working without any problems. For some reason my MacBook crashed earlier today (screen froze except with a message box that said I need to restart my Mac). No problem I shut it down and did some BS for work. I got back on it today and haven't had any problems but now my Touch will not get online via the MacBook. It sees and connects to the MacBook wireless but it doesn't have any connectivity. It gets an IP address assigned, but I can't get anything on it.
    Thinking it was my computer I tried my PowerBook and was able to get online with the PowerBook via the shared wireless network on the Macbook. Also, I can plug the LAN cable into the PowerBook and the Touch will connect through it using the internet sharing.
    I was thinking that it was a difference between the PPC and the Intel chips but the Touch was working on the MacBook a few hours earlier. I am running the same basic system on both computers and for the most part they are running the same stuff.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    After a long time i think someone has found a way to get internet sharing working with the ipod touch.
    found this post by "coolisstillgood" in macforums and it worked perfectly for me.
    +"I've seen a lot of posts and notes about this topic over the internet and non of them could solved my problem completely,they were partially helpful but not entirely helpful. there were tons of complains about this matter and a lot of users seemed unhappy because simply they couldn't share their Internet Connection over airport or wifi with their iPod Touch. After a long and tiring night I finally figured out how to get it right and I decided to share this experience with all the Mac users gladly.+
    +Ok, what I have is a MacBook with OS 10.5.2 installed and my Internet connection is through cable modem and it's a Ethernet Connection and I shared my Internet through Airport with my iPod Touch.+
    +I assumed your Internet Connection is fully established and you can surf the web with your MacBook.+
    +you go to System Preferences and under the Internet & Network, you go to Sharing,Turn On Web Sharing and Internet Sharing,in the Internet Sharing you have to choose to Share your Connection From Ethernet(in case you get your Internet Connection from Ethernet of course) To computer using Airport .+
    +And then on your iPod touch you go to Setting and the Wi-Fi,you should see your computer name there,choose the network and then press the ">" sign in the blue circle,you should see your IP Address which probably is 10.0.2.2 . What is important here is your DNS which probably should be something like this format 10.0.2.1+
    +you go back to your Mac and System Preferences>Network>Airport you should see your Computer's Name in the Network Name field, you go to Advanced>TCP/IP and write down your IPv4 Address, go one step back which is System Preferences>Network and this time you go to Ethernet>Advanced>DNS on the right side,there is the list of your DNS Servers,you add your DNS number form your iPod Touch and your IPv4 from your Airport configuration and that's it.+
    +you should be able to browse internet from your iTouch by now.+
    +And for all the IP stuff,you let DHCP handle it Automatically. I did it and it works fine for me and the speed is pretty good too and there is no need for a wireless router. You can share your Ethernet Internet Connection Easily from Airport to your iTouch.+
    +I hope this post will be useful for ones struggling with this problem.+
    +keep it cool"+
    follow the instructions exactly and good luck!

  • Internet sharing with a Windows PC

    I have read and re-read many sites and tutorials on how to set up Internet Sharing from a Mac to a Windows XP Home pc, however I have not mananged to get it to work. I want to be able to use the internet on the PC as the modem is broken, so I thought I could just connect to the internet on my iBook and then share the connection over to the PC.
    The configuration so far is my iBook running Mac OS 10.3.9 connects to my dial-up internet connection, and I have an Ethernet patch cable (and not a crossover cable. I'm guessing this doesn't matter due to MDX/MDX-IX). This patch cable connects it directly to the PC. The connection establishes at 100MB/S, and pinging either computer works fine, as does FTP and other protocols.
    However, even though I have enabled internet sharing on the Mac, I cannot seem to use the internet on the PC no matter how many different configurations I have tried.
    Another thing I have tried is using the Mac as a proxy server, this does not work though as the Apache web server page always comes up.
    Am I missing something here? It will probably have been right under my nose all the time but please help. Thanks

    Hello everyone, right now I have a problem quite similar. First, I have both a Mac and a PC which connect both to a Linksys Router WRT54G, Both have internet connection well. Here is the issue.
    If I turn on my PC and then turn On My mac, I wait until both are at the login screen, I log in, first PC then Mac, I go to my PC and do ping to the Mac IP address, if I AM LUCKY I can see the PC shared folders on my mac. but if I do ping first on the mac I won't be able to see the PC shared folders. I say if I AM LUCKY, coz I only can connect every once in a while, it's pretty rare actually. I use the PC via ethernet connection and the mac via airport, and they used to be quite good before, I haven't installed anything unusual lately on either both so I don't think there is a problem with any app recently installed, and as I say, every now and then I get connected so, if there was a problem with an app, I wouldn't ever be able to connect. at least that's what I think.
    I have checked the pages linked on the other message, but won't help, I don't have any more ideas for the moment, and even though every now and then I can do magics to connect them, I'd like to find a definitive solution, I don't like my machines to work half good.
    good care, I appreciate any help. thanks

  • E72 internet sharing with other computers

    I am having problems with my modem at home and am only able to access the internet via my E72 connected via USB to my computer. Is it possible to share this internet connection with other users on my home wireless network?

    You can share the internet access from your phone to other devices by using the Joikuspot application. His effectively turns your phone into a wifi hotspot. There is the premium Joikuspot or Joikuspot light which is free but has limited security. Both are available for download from www.ovi.com.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing, and turn it off by unmarking Internet Sharing in the System Preferences sidebar. Then, make sure you are connecting the Mac to the Internet by Ethernet or FireWire, and then, share your Internet connection by Wi-Fi by marking Wi-Fi. Finally, tick Internet Sharing in the sidebar.

  • Internet Sharing with WEP: any idea?

    Have Mac OS X 10.4.7.
    Want to share my Internet connection from built-in Ethernet wirelessly towards an XP box.
    I open System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet, tick "AirPort" and
    under "Airport Options..." I tried the following variants for a WEP password:

    Password: $1122334455 (WEP-Hex) does not work
    Password: "apple" (WEP-ASCII) does not work
    Password: populos (WEP) don't know WEP key for my XP box
    On the XP box, I tried to enter <1122334455> or <apple> but without success. Any ideas what I did wrong?

    After restarting the Mac Mini, everthing worked as expected.

  • Internet Sharing with my Xbox 360

    Hey guys, I was just wondering how to get an open NAT with my PowerBook and xbox 360 setup. Right now my NAT is "strict". I've searched on the board and no one has a solution. I have a D-Link DI-524 wireless router and when I connect the xbox directly to it the NAT is open, but when connected to my PowerBook it's moderate. I am too cheap to buy the xbox wireless network adaptor and this setup is very convenient for me because my xbox and PB are upstairs and the networking stuff is downstairs and I don't want to run a long cat-5 up here. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can't really help you with your network but I'll describe mine maybe that can give ideas.
    x-box360 with wireless device set up to connect to Apple Express router. The Express is hard wired to an Apple Extreme N router. The Express is set up wireless to create its own network with WEP security not WPA2.
    I tried WDS and also " to join" and having the Express wirelessly connect to the N router but I could not get those methods to work with the x-box360.

  • Help with Firewall and Internet Sharing

    I’m trying to use my Mac Mini with an Airport Extreme card, which is connected to the internet using Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL modem, for Internet Sharing with a Windows (work) laptop.
    So, in the Sharing preferences panel:
    Share connection from: Built in Ethernet
    To computers using: Airport
    I get the warning message:
    Other settings may interfere with Internet Sharing.
    The ‘More Info’ button gives the popup message:
    Your firewall settings will prevent computers sharing your internet connection from browsing the web. Enable Personal Web Sharing in the Services pane to allow computers sharing your connection to browse the web.
    I do that, turn the Airport card on, and the laptop can see the network, but can’t connect.
    If I turn the Firewall off, then I can connect fine, but then I don’t have a Firewall. Isn’t that risky if I’m using DSL? How can I do the internet sharing and still protect my computer?
    I realize I could buy a router with a built-in firewall, but isn’t there a way to set up the system using what I have?

    BDAqua wrote:
    We just need to figure out what port is needed. I'd goto Sharing>Firewall>New>Port Name... Other, and try Port 53 both UDP and TCP.
    Oh, and when you say the PC can't connect, could that just mean it can't browse?
    On the PC, put the IP of the Mac in DNS servers, or...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.22
    Well, I'm unable to set the DNS server addresses, as this is a work computer and I don't have the administrative privileges.
    How bad is it to just turn the Firewall on the Mac off when I want to use the connection?

  • IPad 2 wifi issues with iMac internet sharing

    I have the iPad 2 [ (Wifi + 3G) ( iOS 5.1.1 (9B206) ] which connected to my 21" iMac [Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)] through Internet sharing seemlessly some time back.
    However of late, with latest software updates on the iMac & iPad, the connection seems to work only intermittently.
    The connection breaks every half or one hour, despite both the devices being in the same room.
    I have tried almost all suggestions on forums like resetting your network settings on iPad, changing channels on the iMac for Internet sharing, with or without password security, resetting the firewalls on & off on the iMac, but nothing seems to work & the only way is to reset all your settings all over again.

    I used Internet Sharing like this couple of times!
    The situation happens is that when you share your internet over Wifi, and you password protect it, when you connect the iPad or any iDevice to that new hotspot, it happens that after selecting that hotspot, we need to turn on "Auto Join". So when the iPad gets disconnected, it gets disconnected completely and you need to connect back once again. So when you turn on "Auto Join" it will get connected automatically once again it gets disconnected maybe due to power saving or suddenly it leaves the hotspot.

  • Airport Internet Sharing Problem  Mini - PC Laptop

    Airport Internet Sharing Problem
    My setup is:
    Cable Modem -> Mac Mini --> PC Laptop
    ... with the connection between the mac mini and the PC laptop being the built-in mac mini airport using internet sharing.
    Hi, I've been trying to set up Airport internet sharing with the mini, to no avail. It works off & on, but invariably the internet connections drop after about 10 minutes. The only way to get it started again, is to go into internet sharing, turn off internet sharing, then turn it on again. It will work for another 10 minutes or so (slow) after gong back to the PC laptop and reconnecting, then it chokes again.
    I've tried the connection both with & without WEP, same behavior. I read somewhere that OS X only plays well with using Channel 1, so I tried that. No luck. Tried with and without Interference Robustness, no luck.
    Tried with WEP on and using 40 bit hex keys using a "$" prepend in the mac as suggested on this web page:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030803030354585
    Same behavior, works for 10 minutes, then it chokes again.
    Tried with & without the firewall.
    Yes, personal web sharing is on.
    The PC laptop works fine with any number of other wireless routers out & about town, at my girlfriend's house, so forth.
    Any chance I have a bum mac mini wireless card or antennae or something? The reception strength on the PC laptop is good.
    Just don't know what to make of it. So stupid, it seems like something pretty basic that ought to work.
    Yeah yeah tell me to get a wireless router, but I'm not going to do that, that's one major reason I bought the mini in the first place and it would be nice if it worked as advertised.
    Any other suggestions?

    Works better now...
    this is me again. A week ago or so, I noticed there was an automatic update to the wireless on the mac mini.
    Since then the performance is much improved. My PC laptop connection to the mac mini no longer drops spontaneously.
    Much improved! Thank you very much!
    Yes, on occasion, when I leave and then come back to use the wireless, the laptop will not reconnect after multiple attempts; I have to turn of internet sharing and flick it back on again, but then it works all evening fore hours and hours straight with no problems.
    Thanks Apple! It's usable now!
