IPad 2 connection through internet sharing

This may be answered somewhere else on the discussions, but I would like some assistance in connecting an iPad 2 to the internet through an iMac that is connected through an Alltel wireless card. In the iMac, I've turned Internet Sharing on, and the airport is also on. What am I missing ? ? ? Or is it not possible ? ? ?

Jack:
I wrote this on an earlier thread and it seemed to help another user so give it a try. Bold type is specific to you. Ignore anything you already know. I'm not sure if you can share the connection from a wireless connection (you CAN share from ethernet) but these are the steps and it may work.
OK if you selected Internet Sharing on the Mac you must also select
Share your Connection from - Ethernet (select ethernet) I think you would choose the Airport option since your are using a wireless card
To Computers Using - Airport (your iPad is the computer using Airport in this case)
Then you may have to select the Internet Sharing option again - put a checkmark in the box
Then go to Security in your preferences and select Firewall - turn off the Firewall to allow incoming connections to your Mac
Make sure you have Airport enabled on your Mac and go up to the Airport icon at the top of the screen, click on it, and drop down to select - Create Network. A box will come up and it should offer your computer's name as the default network name. You can name the network whatever you like. Then create a password.
This should be what you need to do to get connected. Once you do all of the steps on the Mac, reboot your iPad, go to Settings>WiFi>Network and select your new network.

Airport connection through Internet Sharing

Hi
I was wondering if I have a Powerbook G4 with an airport Extreme card installed and I have a Desktop G5 without airport, can I do Internet Sharing through my cable modem, so I can get online with my laptop wirelessly and without a router or does my G5 have to have an airport card installed as well?
thanks for the help

I believe Duane was alluding to the fact that you have more options when using a router: configurations, security, expandability, etc. than you would if you limited yourself to just Internet Sharing.
With your current situation, instead of getting a wireless card for the G5, you can get (for example) a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. This router also has a built in network switch so you can still connect your G5 using Ethernet cable.
Your network configuration would then be:
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] Linksys Router [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] G5, AND
Linksys Router > (wireless) > wireless clients.
Later, if you still wanted, you can get the wireless card for the G5, and all of your computer can access the Internet wirelessly.
As far as dial-up, this particular router won't support Internet connectivity. Instead, the only one that I'm aware of would be the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). No, in this case, you would just use the built-in dial-up moden in your computer.

Can't connect to internet sharing

Ever since updating to Mountain Lion on my iMac, I can't connect to internet sharing with my iPad 3. Does anyone know how to get it to work? I just get the message 'Unable to join the network 'xxxx'.
I've tried setting up new networks, I've tried it with and without passwords, restarted both machines, and it still won't work.
However, my iphone4 connects OK. Anyone else having this issue with the iPad 3?
Thanks
Bob

It's so simple to setup and you have been using it in the past, but just in case, this is Apple' kb article about Internet sharing with Mountain Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740?viewlocale=en_US
Have you rebooted your router or cable modem? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and plug it in again.
You might be better off posting in the Mountain Lion forum if you haven't already done so.

Hi,
can you provide a bit more detail, as can you use the 3G network to access the web, and what security is your wireless using?

Accessing Server when only connected via Internet Sharing

Currently, I don't have the ability to directly connect my Mac Pro which I use as a Server to the router as I have no direct access to it via cable and it does not have an Airport card.
However, I can access the internet on it if I use internet sharing on my iMac which is connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the Mac Pro at all times.
In order to use any of the services such as Time Machine from another machine, I always need to connect it directly by cable. This leaves me wondering if there is a way to tunnel the Mac Pro through the iMac so it is accessible via Wifi? Is there a setting on either Machine I have to activate / set to make this work?
It is only thought to be a temporary solution until I move to a new flat where it will be directly connected to an Airport Extreme.
Thanks for your help!

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

Port forwarding through Internet Sharing

Here's my setup:
- I have a Linksys router, I have that connected wirelessly to my macbook, I have that setup for Ethernet internet sharing to my desktop pc.
- I want to enable port forwarding so that I can access my PC through VNC.
- My macbooks ip address is within 192.168.1.x and my desktop's IP address from the macbook is within 192.168.2.x
- When I connect to my router and try to set up port forwarding I can only forward ports within the 192.168.1.x range.
- I've tried a bunch of garbage to get it set up, one main thing I've tried was to st my PC's ip address statically to something withing 192.168.1.x, but my default gateway address is 192.168.2.1 so I'm not even sure if thats possible.
- I really need some help with this, any would be very much appreciated.

Hi guys. My setup is pretty simple. I have a Terayon cable modem hooked to an iMac. Im doing internet sharing to everybody. I don't need an access point and don't wish to have to buy a new one when I have such a beautiful machine right.
So I want to do port forwarding using the internet share to connect an XBox360.
The ports i want to configure are detailed in www.portforward.com
Anyway I can't see how to do it but I know that for you guys this is all puppy chow. So i decided to give you guys the opportunity to be creative with this setup.

Can't see printer or shares when connected via Internet Sharing

I recently switched from a 2006 to a 2008 Mac Pro. Rather than do a migration I simply took the hard drives from the old machine and put them in the new one.
I then upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I use Internet Sharing to share my Mac Pro's Ethernet connection via wifi, but the other Macs can't see the Mac Pro's printer or shares when connected in this way. They can access the internet. If I connect a machine via the LAN rather than Internet Sharing, the shares and printer are visible.
This worked fine on Lion on the old machine. Any ideas?

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

Connect to internet sharing via nintendo ds

So I am trying to connect a nintendo DS to my macs internet sharing twhich is coming from ethernet and being shared to computers using wi-fi
I found these online and followed the steps
Turn on Internet Sharing:
Go to System Preferences, click on the Sharing icon, then click on the Internet tab.
Change the Share your connection from: pop-up to 'Built-in Ethernet.'
Under the To computers using section, check the AirPort box.
Click Airport options...Enter an easy name such as nds. Leave all the security options blank -- implementing security is an exercise left to the reader -- then click OK.
Click Start in the Internet Sharing panel.
For sharing internet access with other computers, this is usually sufficient. However, the DS doesn't play well with the built-in DHCP server, so we have to manually configure the DS. To do this we, must gather some info...
Gather Information:
Open Terminal.app and type ifconfig en1. In the output...
Look for: inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask ...
Take note the IP Address (the x's) associated with the first inet (mine was 10.0.2.1; yours may be different).
Type dig. Near the bottom of this output will be SERVER: followed by an IP address. This will be the DNS server you will use for your DS.
Configure the DS:
Edit your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings from within a compatible game.
Select a connection to edit.
Choose Manual Setup.
Enter the following parameters:
SSID: nds (or whatever you chose in step one)
Auto-obtain IP Address: No
IP Address: Take the first IP Address you obtained earlier, and make the last digit bigger. i.e., mine could be 10.0.2.4
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: The first IP Address, unchanged. (e.g. 10.0.2.1)
Auto-obtain DNS: No
Primary DNS: your DNS SERVER from the earlier dig output.
Test your connection at the top of the screen. You should have no problem connecting.
That's it, now just have fun!
I followed them exactly and when typing in ifconfig en1 I get this:
Router:~ connorwillimas$ ifconfig en1
en1: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 7c:d1:c3:6b:bc:38
inet 10.2.31.28 netmask 0xfffff000 broadcast 10.2.31.255
media: autoselect
status: active
then I typed dig ad got this:

I entered all the information correctly into my DS and then I get error code 51300 and when the ds says testing connection there is no signal strength in the top right corner but when i found the connection using the find an access point it shows that there is full signal strength. How can i get the DS to realze there is a signal strength when i do this manually or automatically?

The iPhone does not support tethering - at the present time anyway, which means using the iPhone as a modem for internet access with a computer, and the same in reverse - using a computer's internet connection to connect to the internet with the iPhone.

Who is connected via internet sharing?

How do you view who is connected to your wifi via internet sharing? I had to get rid of the password in order to get internet sharing to work with my other devices.

Jimbo:
One way is to use Network Utility (Applications/Utilities). Click on the Netstat tab then select "Display routing table information." Next click the oval "Netstat" button to run it and down the left column of information you should see the names and MAC addresses of any connected computers.

Nikon D90 and ipad connection through USB

i can't get the nikon d90 to speak to my ipad through the camera connection kit.
-hardware works, i can connect my phone through the jack
-i've had luck with the SD card connector in the past, but it's sadly been misplaced
-my USB to USB mini cable works to power my ihome speaker
-when the cable is connected to both the ipad and the camera the playback menu on the camera greys out.
-i've gone through the standard connect/reboot/wait thirty seconds troubleshooting with no luck.
sorry for the point form, this is the third time I've posted this question and the website keeps deleting my text. ;)
I am overseas and really want to get my photos onto my ipad for posting. i'm wondering if i'm making a really stupid error, and hoping that I am before I go out and buy a new camera connection for the SD reader, or replace the cable.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks for responding so quickly!
Unfortunately I'm overseas so I can't try it out on my computer. (part of what's really frustrating is that I should have tried it out before I left home)
The camera recognizes that it's connected to something, in that the menu greys out whenever it is connected to the ipad, but that's all that I can see so far.

IPAD connected to internet, but it says it's not.

Searching for this seems to be a common problem, however none of the solutions have worked....Where is APPLE SUPPORT for this. If it's a common problem, then there should be an Apple common solution, not a bunch of hacks with their obvious solutions that don't work.
Problem: The IPad is connected to the router, and the router is connected to the net. I have a very strong signal. I have reset the router, and have reset the IPAD, many, many times. I have tried to reconnect, many, many times...I have forgotten and reinitialized...many, many times...but, it's still not working. The router says the devise is connected and has all permissions and such.
The problem still exists. The IPAD says its connected to the router, but none of the programs can reach the internet. THE ROUTER IS CONNECTED TO THE NET - all of my other devices, including my iPhone, all connect without a problem. It's only the IPAD. Safari says: cannot open the page because your iPad is not connected to the internet. ******* ********!!! it is connected.
NOW! what is the solution APPLE? huh? how can I fix this because I'm totally confused on how everything else works, but the IPAD doesn't - huh? ***? why is there always some overly technical problem with your company. People like simple sweet, not a bunch of overly technical crap...that works one day, and for no other reason, just stops the next.
I'm tired of it.

Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

IPad connect to internet but nothing works

I bought an IPad 2 in USA as a gift for my parents who live in Peru, they took it there and now they have a problem. The only app they can use is Skype, everything else does not work, not safari emails, app , nothing, it is conected to internet, it has strong signal but when they try to use safari or emails or other apps it says is not conected to internet. we use Skype webcam without a problem, but thats it. We have tried everything, connect and disconnect, reset it twice, but nothing . please help!

What did they reset, the ipad or the router?
What iOS version is installed? (Settings, General, About, Version) 5.1.1 is the latest. Updating it to this, if not already done might help!

Computer problem when ipad connected to internet

When i connect my ipad to my router the internet on my vista stops working .

You appear to have a DHCP problem in your router if you are getting the same IP address for both the iPad and your PC. That is, if you are actually using DHCP.
If you are not using DHCP and have manually assigned IP addresses to both devices then remember that each IP address on your local network must be unique. For example, if your PC IP address is 192.168.1.2, then your iPad address must be different, say 192.168.1.3. This is true for all the devices on your local network.
If this isn't your problem, please supply more detailed information on your network (what is connected to what, and what router ports you are using for your modem and PC -- ISP Modem connects to WAN port on router).
