Making internet sharing work (Issue with Network Address Translation)

Trying to use internet sharing to enable a BluRay player to get access to the internet for firmware updates, BDLive, etc.
MacBook Pro is setup with Airport (en1) enabled and connected to the internet.
Ethernet port (en2) is set to "Configure IPv4: Off."
I have configured the /etc/bootpd.plist file with the following configuration as mentioned in http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071223001432304&query=xbox%2B360.
<key>replythresholdseconds</key>
<integer>0</integer>
After starting up Internet Sharing, the following is observed:
Ethernet port(en2) is reporting 192.168.2.1 as its IP address in Network Utility but not in the Network System Preferences Pane.
The Mac is responding to the DHCP request from the BluRay player and the BluRay is assigned an IP address of 192.168.2.2/24 with a default gateway and DNS of 192.168.2.1.
So you think there would be success with this but wrong. The system log is reporting that NATD "failed to write packet back (No route to host)" or "failed to write packet back (Host is down) and the connection test on the BluRay player is consistently failing.
Even manually configuring the ethernet port on the Mac is resulting in failure. Is there something else I'm overlooking?
Hoping someone can spread some light on this. Thanks.

So you were able to get it to work then?
I ask because I want to get the Sony BDP-N460 Bluray player for my parents, as it's the only Sony player aside from the Playstation 3 that is Netflix capable. I'm not sure why their other wi-fi enabled player doesn't have Netflix on it. I suppose I could get them a Playstation 3, but they don't really need one.
More than likely that Sony is positioning its products that way so people do go for the PS3 and increase it install base and possibly get you to by a game or two.
I want to connect the player to an old iBook G3 that's running 10.4 and share its connection. I did this successfully with the iBook and my Xbox 360 and wanted to know if it was possible to do so with a Bluray player.
I would bet that you will be able to accomplish this if you were able to get a 360 running through it. Just ignore the Blu-Ray player's test connection tool and try to connect to Netflix. Just play it safe and buy it through a retailer like Amazon where returns are hassle free.

    My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason.  If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down.   It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

  • Issue with IP address resource

    Hi
    I have been having an issue on our file server cluster recently where an IP address for the backup LAN scope will not come online. This happened a few days ago and the IP address eventually went online, but now it has been failing for over of day with the
    following message in cluster logs (Client Identifying information removed):
    000040a8.000020c8::2014/05/15-11:19:42.768 WARN  [RES] IP Address <IP Address 10.*.*.*>: NetInterface *************-****-****-************ is not reachable. Wait & retry.
    000040a8.000020c8::2014/05/15-11:19:43.782 ERR   [RES] IP Address <IP Address 10.*.*.*>: Timed out waiting for NetInterface *************-****-****-************ to be available. Failing resource.
    I can not see any issue with network cards, and this issue occured even on another node. This single resource failing is also causing the networks in that scope to show as failed.
    Update:
    I have been able to get this issue to resolve by reapplying the Static Routes (even though they show as already existing when I put them in). The resource then goes online. Unfortunately this reoccurs on a daily basis.

    Hi DH84,
    I see what you say but when you can write static route please you use interface ID.
    It is a best practise for all cluster systems
    For example, here is my route table, the interface id 7 is my data nw. when i write a static route it must be;
    route add x.x.x.x mask 255.255.255.0 x.x.x.x if 7

    Log a bug with Apple, with whatever details you can provide.  In the interrim, consider acquiring a router; either a repurposed x86 box running open-source networking or gateway software, or a commercial device.

  • Has anyone had an issue with group addressing in OS X 10.9 Mail

    Has anyone had an issue with group addresses in Mail after installing Mavericks?  Both my MBP-15 and my Mac Pro stopped automatically filling in the addresses when I typed the name of the group that I have in Contacts, after updating to Mavericks.  Prior to updating they worked just fine.

    Hi,
    I just found these work arounds.

    The first is appropriate if you want to send as an undlisclosed resicpient. The second method shows all addresses.

  • I have an issue with the address browser in mail in Yosemite

    I am using IOS 10.10.1 now on an iMac and have discovered an issue with the address browser in mail.
    Previously in my pending to send email toolbar there was a contacts icon which I clicked  on to display my contacts list. I could hold down the Command button and select as many contacts I wanted (often up to 100), then select the field to send (to, ccc, bcc) and the contact would appear.
    Now, I have to click the + sign at the end of the field line, and select recipients one at a time. Not only that, but I have to click twice to get to the email address, once on the name and then the email address drops down under the name and then I click on the email address. When I do that the drop down box disappears and the recipient's email address goes to the field. I have tried all combinations of buttons to be able to choose multiple addresses but haven't found the right one yet.
    An Apple Support guy told me to open my regular Address book, and hold down the command button to choose multiple recipients then drag them to the field on my already opened send email.
    This is one way around the issue (which wasn't an issue in Mavericks) but where some recipients have two or more email addresses listed in my contacts it means I have to manually go through the finished list on my emails to make sure the most desired one was selected. What a pain.
    Also, previously, where I was sending out many emails and wanted to stop say half way down my list, and send, I could come back to that list for the next email and see where I'd got up to.
    I don't want to make groups because my recipients vary depending on what I am sending so my lists change constantly.
    Any suggestions?
    Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
    Cheers,

    I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

  • Does Ichat screen sharing work properly with Lion OSX?

    Hello, I am planning to install the new OS Lion soon. However, I was wondering if the Ichat screen sharing works properly with Lion. I use the screen sharing quite a lot to communicate with my co-workers, so it's a deal breaker if the app crashes when using the screen sharing option. Thank you!

  • On UPnP and NAT (Network Address Translation)

    Why UPnP is an often asked Question.
    This article goes a long way to say why.
    A couple of Quotes
    *What is UPnP?*
    Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is an architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity of PCs and intelligent devices or appliances, particularly within the home. UPnP builds on Internet standards and technologies, such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML, to enable these devices to automatically connect with one another and work together to make networking - particularly home networking - possible for more people.
    *Are there other ways to solve the problem of NAT traversal? If so, why is using UPnP the best choice?*
    Yes, there are other ways to solve this problem, but no other mechanism currently exists as an industry standard to address this problem in an automatic way for the consumer and in such a universally-applicable way for the developer.
    Simply Automated Starter Package
    Other approaches require either manual intervention by the user or they require special development efforts by the Internet gateway device vendor and the software developer to handle the NAT traversal needs of specific applications. As a result, UPnP is uniquely able to solve this important problem.
    *Consumer does the work.* The manual intervention methods of NAT traversal require a consumer to use a browser, a graphical user interface-based tool on the PC, or a command line interface tool on the PC to change some settings on the Internet gateway device in the home. While some technical enthusiast users have little difficulty with this, many consumers do not feel comfortable doing this. Further, many consumers may not even realize that NAT traversal problems are interfering with their use of services across the Internet. _The user may be attempting to play a multi-player game or engage in some other peer-to-peer service but find he or she cannot connect for some reason._ This leads to troubleshooting, support calls, customer dissatisfaction, and reluctance on the part of the user to try new services or experiences in the future.
    *Developer does the work.* To avoid requiring the consumer to solve this NAT traversal problem manually, some Internet gateway device vendors have written and included application layer gateway support into their devices. This application layer gateway software is designed with specific applications in mind. In other words, the device vendor writes and tests specific code that will automatically enable one application to go through the NAT. If the application software is updated, the application layer code the device vendor wrote may have to be updated and tested again. This one-at-a-time way of chasing the NAT traversal problem is manageable for device vendors when there are only a few peer-to-peer or relevant applications to consider, but this approach does not scale well to 100s or 1000s of applications, can be very expensive to pursue, and likely requires specific knowledge of how each of these applications function. The better way to approach this problem is to have the device vendor add software or firmware to their device once to understand UPnP and have other devices and software be able to communicate with the NAT device using this same technology. UPnP is uniquely able to fulfill this role today.
    I have underlined a passage in the last.
    I hope this helps in some way.

              Look for bindAddr in the weblogic.properties doc.
              weblogic.system.bindAddr
              You can use a dns name instead of an ip address

  • Tuxedo and Network Address Translation(NAT) at Firewall

    We made a sucessful connection through the firewall without Network Address Translation
    (NAT)on the firewall, from one network to the other and what we found happened
    was that the client machine makes a connection on port 8090 and then sets up a
    successful connection to the server (WSL).The client then very soon afterward
    makes another connection on
    another high-port and everything works (WSH connection).
    Whats not happening with NAT is that the second connection is not being made to
    the firewall. The firewall and the router are not blocking the call. It is just
    not being made.
    Thanking you in advance!!!

  • GC 11G AND Network Address Translation

    HI,
    I have simple question , Is Network Address Translation supported with GC 11g. I know it is not on 9i.
    thanks.

    I can't find anything on this on the internet. So creating a SR is an option.
    The only note I found was: Agent Fails to Upload Through Load Balancer, Secures Successfully [ID 1149610.1] suggesting you can use NAT.

  • Network Address Translation, Automatic Port Forwarding

    Does the Airport Extreme do
    Network Address Translation? Do I have to do something to make NAT functional?
    Does the Airport Extreme automatically forward ports? Or is this something I have to do manually
    sorry if this is discussed already but a Search of Forum did did not yield the information I need.

    Hi Barbara, welcome to the discussion area!
    +Does the Airport Extreme do Network Address Translation?+
    Yes
    +Do I have to do something to make NAT functional?+
    No, if you have the device configured as a router with the Connection Sharing settings set to Share a public IP address so that the AirPort Extreme is handling the chore of assigning IP addresses to connected devices.
    If you have the AirPort Extreme configured as a "bridge", then NAT is handled by the router that is upstream of the AirPort Extreme.
    +Does the Airport Extreme automatically forward ports? Or is this something I have to do manually+
    Port forwarding must be setup manually on the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, the application used to setup the AirPorts.

  • Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CG-NAT)

    Hello,
    I live in the UK.  One of the largest ISPs, BT, has begun trialling carrier grade network address translation (CG-NAT).  In a nutshell, this introduces double NAT - first your broadband router, then the ISP's "router".  This is before the ISP has introduced IPv6.
    I fear it is only a matter of time before my ISP also introduces CG-NAT.  Will/does Skype work in a CG-NAT scenario?  If not, what are my options?
    Kind regards,
