Messages not working while using Internet sharing from my iMac ... Any troubleshooting tips/approaches ?

I am connecting to the internet using the Internet Sharing from my iMac ...
The trouble is the messages in the Messages app are not sent when I am connected through my iMac ... When I key in a message and hit send a progress bar appears fills up till 90% and just gets stuck there and after a while the red exclamation mark stating the message was not sent appears ... Now if I connect through my wi-fi router or thether through my phone it works fine ... I can send / recieve messages ...
Similar points to note - Today when I tried to make an App Purchase - The security info screen ( new additon - http://isource.com/2012/04/11/iphone-app-store-security-info-alert/ ) popped up but I got a blank screen for the securtiy questions screen ... It was not loading the screen ... Some games the game center invite does not work through my Internet sharing (tried in MetalStorm) ... but works fine thorough wi-fi or thether ...
What could be the problem with my iMac s sharing? Any suggestions would be really useful ///  Thanx in advance
I am running Lion ... and I have updated to the latest Airport software ...
Only thing I tried was changing the DNS ... but that s not related right ?

Powerline adapters use your home powerlines (mains a/c) to connect your devices via ethernet to your modem, they're easy to set up and the they TOTALLY fixed my ATV problem, the problem seems to be with the wireless. I've been trawling through apple discussions, and did found a workaround to my problem https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4222883?start=0&tstart=0
but its just a workaround :/

  • Not able to use internet sharing on my iMac 8.1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8

    Im not able to use internet sharing on my iMac 8.1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8, I tried internet sharing with OS Lion and it works fine. Has anybody else experience this problem and  what was the solutions.

    If your OS is OS X 10.4.11 then you should be able to install iTunes 8.1 which according to the iTunes page requires 10.4.10 or later (which is a lower version than yours). It also requires QuickTime 7.5.5 so check your version of QuickTime. Version 10.4 is Tiger by the way. Leopard is 10.5 and Panther was 10.3.
    Make sure that your OS is at the version you think it is. Connect your MacBook to the internet and from your desktop go to the Apple symbol on the Finder bar at the top of your screen. Choose "About This Mac" and check your OS version. Also from the same menu choose Software Update and see if you are offered any updates for your computer. If it does offer an OS X update, install it and anything else in the list then run software update again to see if any more components are offered for the new version.

  • How do I use internet sharing from my MacBook Pro (static IP, only one DNS server) to my iPod Touch?

    Hey,
       I'm connecting to the net using an Ethernet cable to my MacBook with the following network settings.
    IP Address: 192.168.y.{0-250}
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.y.x (where 'y' is the same number as in the IP address)
    DNS Server: 192.168.99.3
    Apologies if I'm being unclear; not sure how much information it's OK to share publicly.
       I then turn on Airport and Internet Sharing, and look for my wireless network with my 4th generation iPod Touch. However, the network appears erratically. I sometimes have to wait for a minute or two and keep refreshing before it appears on my iTouch. When I try to connect it just says 'Failed to connect to the network'.
       I've followed all the steps in this article with several variations to no avail.
    http://lightyearsoftware.com/2010/06/how-to-set-up-internet-sharing-on-mac-os-x/
       Can anyone suggest a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been banging my head against this for days.

    On the advice of a friend I installed and ran a program on my MacBook called 'IPSecuritas'. This has stopped my wireless network from appearing and disappearing, but I still can't connect. Would really appreciate some help with this.

  • Forwarding Ports While Using Internet Sharing

    I'm trying to get StarCraft working (being able to host games) on my MacBook Pro which is connected to the internet through an iMac G5 which has Internet Sharing turned on and is connected directly to the cable modem. I found some directions online involving using natd on the iMac to forward the ports manually. I have set natd to run on startup with a "-f natd.conf" flag, and my natd.conf has these lines:
    redirect_port tcp 10.0.2.2:6112-6119 6112-6119
    redirect_port udp 10.0.2.2:6112-6119 6112-6119
    10.0.2.2 is the IP address that the iMac has given my MacBook as stated in my Networking preference pane. However, hosting games in StarCraft still does not work and according to this site my port 6112 is still "closed".
    Any ideas?

    Firewalls...harumph.
    Cause more problems than they solve...not really
    Two firewalls (mac's and this intego thingie) will cause more problems than running two antivirus programs on a PC.
    Folks need to come up with really good reasons to use more "firewall power" than mac's excellent firewall.
    Anyway, glad you found it!

  • If I use internet sharing will it share any documents/files with other connected devices?

    Have a 2007 iMac running Leopard and I have it plugged in with an ethernet cable and only use it to share the internet. The iMac has something wrong with it, which came in the form of some sort of virus (in process of deleting it/getting rid of it) and I just bought a new Retina MBP, so don't want anything to transfer between two computers. So, I was wondering if the iMac may share something via internet sharing? Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Unless you use Migration Assistant, no files will get copied to the MacBook Pro with Retina display. Apart from that, I doubt you have a virus, but if you feel better, you can disable file sharing in both computers, so you can be sure nothing will be copied

  • Step backward hotkey not working while using brush tool? - Photoshop CC 2014

    Hi,
    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 in Mavericks. I've tried using the step backward hotkey (command+option+z) and it seems to work fine. Then I use the brush tool and it stops working until I switch to another tool. I'm a digital artist, so I move very quickly while painting, and switching out of the brush tool to step backward on something slows me down terribly. I'll switch and the hotkey works as intended. I've tried changing it to a different set of keys (for example command+z) with the same results. Is this a bug or a feature?

    Usually it turns out for tablets that aren't mainstream that they just haven't updated their drivers to work with photoshop cc.
    For example, most people don't have problems with wacom tablets in photoshop cc.
    One other thing that could possibly be the cause besides the tablet driver is your graphics card driver.
    If in photoshop cc you go to Edit>Preferences>Performance and turn off Use Graphics Processor and then restart photoshop cc, does that make a difference?
    If it does then perhaps your graphics card driver needs to be updated from the maker of the card.

  • ISE backup not working while using tftp

    I have configured a repository on ISE admin node to use tftp for taking backups.
    repository master
      url tftp://<IP>
    I initiate backup on demand to use the defined repository and specify Application-only backup. After sometime, I see success on ISE node and "show backup history" also shows success
    ise/admin#    sh backup history
    Thu Sep 27 06:12:43 UTC 2012: backup backup1-120927-060253.tar.gpg to repository master: success
    Thu Sep 27 07:31:56 UTC 2012: backup backup1-120927-072227.tar.gpg to repository master: success
    However, when I check on tftp server, I see nothing. No files with names backup1-120927-060253.tar.gpg or backup1-120927-072227.tar.gpg...Has anybody else seen similar issue? Is there a bug with tftp server backup on ISE nodes?
    Thanks,
    Kashish

    Kashish,
    Can you try moving a small file over to the tftp server? Check the directory of the local disk and issue a a copy disk:/file tftp:/path.
    See if that moves a file over. I havent personally used tftp I always use ftp.
    Thanks,
