Lumia 920 Internet Sharing not working with Window...

I am unable to get Internet Sharing to work from a nokia Lumia 920 to Dell XPS running Windows 8 with Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030. Help !!
Things I have tried:
+ Checked the phone was actually working with Internet sharing: Different laptop running Winows XP connected fine, everything worked
+ Checked the Dell XPS could connect to inernet sharing using an HTC One as the hot spot: everything worked fine.
+ Tried turning on FIPS: made no difference:
+ Tried updating/different drivers: made no difference
+ Tried turning of N, and only using g: made no difference
+ Tried different access point settigns on the phone: made no difference
This is one of those things I expect to just work, like it does when the phoen is used with a different laptop, or when a different phone is used with this laptop.
I've run out of ideas. Any help appreciated.

Finally fixed it. First I tried using the latest Intel drivers, but to no avail. So I did a driver rollback, and that seems to be working. Driver version now at 14.2.1.3, Microsoft release.
So problem is a compaitibility issue with the drivers on the windows laptop. All I can advise others having similar problems is keep trying different drivers (newest not necessarily the best)

Mountain Lion DVD Player not working

When I insert a DVD movie into my MacBook Pro, with Mountain Lion, it can not read the disk and ejects it. DVDs played correctly until installing OSX Mountain Lion...what changed and how to resolve

Yep, me too. Not sure if it is just coincidence and my drive was about to fail? I have a 13" Macbook Pro Mid 2010.
To be honest I installed Mountain Lion as soon as it came out and have only just tried the DVD player today....
In my System Profiler I get the attached - it says Powered Off: Yes.
I have tried Repair Disc Permisions/PRAM/SMC/Removed Drive and cleaned - no joy.
Any other people out there with this?

Internet sharing not working in lion. Bug?

Hi guys - Internet sharing of my office ethernet connection is gone. It just doesn't work anymore. I hope that if we insist flagging this, they will fix it. It was really useful at work to share my connection with mobile devices.

Seems like there is no fix yet. Whenever I turn on internet sharing, the wifi will get a self assigned ip of 169.X.X.X and no wifi devices like iphone can get an ip by connecting to this network. It was working fine prior to Lion.

Screen Sharing between Mountain Lion and Tiger not working

rMBP running 10.8.2 ML and a G3 iMac running 10.4.11 Tiger.
When I try and use Screen Sharing on the MBP to connect to the G3 it prompts for both a username and password. I enter a valid user and pw but it fails with
Authenication failed to "Ruby".
Please verify you have entered the correct name and password.
Third-party VNC clients, e.g. JollysFastVNC on my MBP and Remoter on my iPhone, can connect fine, but they only request a password.
Any ideas?

I've been using Screen Share on my home network for a very long time. My most used computer, MacBook Pro (2011) was just upgraded to ML, my desktop still has Lion on it - and can't be upgraded because it is an early MacPro. I was having intermittant problems getting the MBPro to connect to the MPro screen, and resetting the PRAM was correcting it (but it could have been the rebooting process alone - I don't know). Now I can share the MPro disks on my network but not the screen. Now, to me, that's wierd. I've tried doing all kinds of setting checks, preference removal, etc. No luck. I can, however (as someone above mentioned) connect from my MPro (Lion) to my MBPro (ML) screen. I've checked my Intego VirusBarrier X6 settings, i.e. blocked addresses (in the past that has happened and blocked) and I've even entered my MBPro address into the approved address section. I've checked/rechecked the Sharing Preferences, turned them on/off, etc. All to no avail.
Is this a Mountain Lion / Lion issue, a Mountain Lion issue, or something somewhere corrupt? I used to have Remote Desktop on the MPro, but for my needs Screen Share & Disk Share suit my needs on my home network. I have LogMeInIgnition, which when the last time I tried to connect to the MBPro it showed it offline - and it isn't. I feel there's something in ML blocking things.
I'm open to suggestions, and a fix if needed. This is frustrating. Not that I can't use the exercise to walk to the room where the MPro is - not the point.

Mountain lion wifi is not working properly

After installing the Mountain Lion in my imac late 2011 model, 27", it started to show wifi errors. I tried to restart the system to see if the wifi connects back or not. It shows as connected but not possible to browse the net.
I then turned-off & turned-on the wifi alone and I found it got connected and was able to browse. Few minutes after the browsing the wifi connection went off and was not able to browse.
I repeated the same rectification method and was able to get back to the web browsing. Several times since mt. Lion is installed I experienced and it is now three days.
Any one experienced the same errors and found a permanent solution please share the method.
Thanks

Hello you all,
I also had the problem of a disconnecting wifi while my imac was sleeping. I did not have the reconnecting issue after sleep, but the lost connection issue during sleep which made it impossible to reach my imac for things like homesharing, apple tv or remote desktop. I have a late 2012 iMac with a clean ML 10.8.2 on it and wirelessly connected to an apple time capsule (same as an airport extreme). My partner has a mid 2007 iMac, also with an ML 10.8.2 on it.
I tried every single solution I could find on the internet, such as changing the router's security from wpa2 to wpa, changing the MTU from automatic to manual 1453, router reboots, re-installations, re-configurations, keychain clean-ups, everything.
Eventually I solved my problem with these steps and now it works as a charm. I can still find the iMac with the remote app, even after 12 hours of sleep:
My time capsule router is set on automatic MTU and encrypted with WPA2 and I use the 5Ghz network!
1. Cleaned all the wifi passwords in keychain on my iMac
2. Created a new network location in system preferences
3. In this location I deleted the bluetooth pan and bluetooth dun connection.
4. In this location I changed the preferred connection-order to wifi on #1 and ethernet on #2.
5. Restarted my iMac.
Now I still have a connection when it sleeps and I can wake it to low profile using the remote app (homesharing) and everything works fine.
Hope more people wille be helped by this.

Mountain Lion feature preferences not working

Ever since Mountain Lion was released some of the new features preference panes wont open for me. Every time I try to open one, my Settings app just freezes and I have to force quit it. Things that wont open: Security & Privacy and adding Twitter and Facebook accounts. My Messages app doesnt even work, I can send and recieve but nothing shows up in the app. I've been looking online and trying many different things (removing preferneces, adding preferences from another account where they work) and I have a test account where everything works. Any other things I could try?
EDIT: I forgot to add that my AppStore freezes everytime I open it too. I can view the Updates Tab but if I click anything else it freezes.

Hi,
IF you have another computer you can transfer things like an whole Users account to your Mac or in some cases you can transfer the whole thing, Applications, And Users normally.
There can be issues with this as some Applications may not work in a newer OS
Some Preferences (what is kept in the .plists in the User's Library/Preferences) may not work properly with newer version of the apps they go with.
For example iChat in Lion has been replaced by Messages and iChat 6 should not be installed /Transfered/Migrated to Mountain Lion
Repair Permissions is done with the Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder.
I am not sure the Disk Utility is accessible on a Restore Boot (CMD+ R)
This could be really simple such as the Contacts app > My Card (Head And Shoulders icon) not being set to your details and App like Messages that make use of the info can't read it.
On the other hand it could be a lot deeper than than and you may need to Restore the whole OS (CMD + R on Start up)

Mountain Lion Mail Searching not working (entire search)

Hello,
I already searched the web and the topics in this forum, but found no help.
Since my update from 10.7 to 10.8 (with a clean install and a transition of my user data) the search 'Entire Message' oder 'any' does not work anymore. It shows no results.
This is very strange since Spotlight is still able to find content inside Mail messages.
There are some posts for similiar questions suggesting to rebuild either the whole spotlight index or just rebuild the mail index.
Others suggest to rebuild the mail database by either deleting the files inside the folder of the library or use the menu command in Mail.
Others suggest to check the rights of the mail folder and its content inside the user's library folder.
I tried all of this. Nothing helped yet.
Thanks for help
carl

I really tried everything but nothing helped.
But finally I solved the problem.
I made a timemachine backup (just for safety reasons).
Then I installed Mountain Lion again over the existing installation.
(I used a USB Stick with Mountain Lion to do that.)
Now everything works great.

Internet Sharing not working since 10.6.6 upgrade

Hi all. Hopefully someone can help me as I've been racking my brains on this one.
I originally had Internet Sharing setup from ethernet cable to airport and working perfectly. I could then access the internet wirelessly using my iphone and mac book.
Since upgrading to 10.6.6 (at least I think so) it has stopped working.
Internet is working perfectly on mac mini and other devices can access the internet through working wireless modem downstairs. I need to turn on Internet sharing through the mac mini so that we have internet on the 3rd floor of our townhouse.
I've tried switching off Internet Sharing, then restarting the computer, turning it on again and switching on internet sharing with a different network name, password, channel etc. Nothing seems to get it working again.
I've emptied the trash (200,000 files which is a bit of a worry) and repaired permissions.
Any suggestions would be a great help.
Cheers

No solution here; I'm having the same problem.
In a hotel with wired Ethernet to my MacBook Pro. Once I enable Internet Sharing, the Pro's Internet connectivity goes down. Looks like I get two "default" routes. I can connect my iPhone4 fine to the WiFi created, with WEP enabled; that's not my problem.
Destination        Gateway            Flags        Refs      Use   Netif Expire

Mountain Lion Internet Sharing has no DNS

I enabled Internet Sharing on My iMac..
Connected via WiFi with my MBA.
The MBA was dynamically assgined an IP address 192.168.2.4.
But the nating for the DNS from the iMac to the MBA is non existant. I set the DNS manually to the IP of the iMac but it made no difference.
Anyone have any clue how to nat the DNS from the host to the client??
Worked perfectly in lion. Upgraded to Moutain Lion and the whole thing went to ****!!
ideas?

On this MBA,
with the standard DHCP address allocation (I mean no manual fix to start with),
could you first validate that your Wireless network is usable?
For example, open a Terminal and run:
ping -c 100 192.168.2.1
Wich will test your connectivity with your iMac.
How many packet do you lose?

Internet sharing not working anymore

Hi all,
since I've installed Snow Leopard i can't anymore share my internet connection with other devices / computers. Everything worked perfectly on Leopard, but now when i turn on internet sharing via airport, other devices (macBook Pro and ipod touch / iphone) CAN connect to network but CAN'T connect to the internet. (document share not working to...)
Also if I create a simple airport network (no internet sharing) computers can't connect to each others and share documents.
Please help as everything was working greatly with Snow Leopard, but this is such a big problem that I would have to go back (great pain and job interruption) to leopard...
Tried deleting / recreating positions, and to cancel pref files but same problem....

I have a first gen iPhone and just got mine working today by following these steps.
The following procedure is confirmed to work as written.
Start Internet Sharing if it's not already running.
In Terminal, type cp /etc/bootpd.plist /tmp/bootpd.plist
Stop Internet Sharing.
Open "open -e /tmp/bootpd.plist" for editing using TextEdit or whatever.
Locate this section of the file, near the end:
<key>replythresholdseconds</key>
<integer>4</integer>
Change the value 4 to 0.
In Terminal, type sudo cp /tmp/bootpd.plist /etc
Start Internet Sharing.
If you want to, check that your change to /etc/bootpd.plist hasn't been reverted.
Then i just restarted my phone and everything seems to working for the past few hours.

OS X Mountain lion code does NOT work - Please help

I bought my 2012 Macbook pro June 21 2012. I qualify for the free OS X Mountain lion upgrade. I got my emails, one with the PDF file, one with the password to it. I open up the red PDF file, enter my password and it does NOT work. I took my password to the Mac App store, clicked Quick Link, Redeem, placed my code in and it STILL DOES NOT work. PLEASE HELP!!! I need the new OS, plus Im supposed to get it for free! Its not fair how they sent me a bad code / improper instructions on how to redeem it.

suggestion - call apple.....since we're all users here, it's hard to give you the right suggestion/answer regarding your issue...

Internet Sharing not working in 10.5.8

I'm running a Mac mini (PowerPC) with Leopard.
My situation is a little different from most. My Mac mini is connected to my network via AirPort. I use it in my home office, which is located some distance from where my Internet connection comes into the house.
I have a Nortel IP phone for working remotely from my main office. In the past, i have successfully used it with my Mac mini via Internet sharing. By turning on Internet sharing and connecting the IP phone to the Mac mini via Ethernet, it finds its server and connects without issue. I do get occasional dropouts due to the wireless bandwidth, but nothing too severe.
A few weeks ago, i updated the Mac mini to Leopard, and applied all the updates to bring it up to the most recent version available, 10.5.8. My Internet sharing no longer works.
I have tried reinstalling the 10.5.8 combo updater. I have tried the workarounds where a kext from 10.5.7 is swapped out for the more recent one. I've tried rebooting. I've tried manually setting the DHCP address on the Ethernet connection. Nothing works.
Apple, please issue a fix for this issue. My only other option at this point seems to be an archive-and-install of Leopard, then applying the 10.5.7 Combo Updater and freezing my machine there.
Are there any other fixes or workarounds that can get Internet Sharing working again? It works fine on my Snow Leopard machine.
This bug is a huge pain in the butt.

I'm having this problem but it was after I installed security update 2010-003, that put my at OS X 10.6.3.
My internet sharing isn't working but moreover, my Ethernet port isn't working at all. I can't find anything on this issue. I just updated this morning and I usually use the internet sharing to share the airport connection through the Ethernet port and have never experienced a problem until now. Now matter what I do, after restart, putting it in sleep and everything I can think of, it still says Ethernet cable is unplugged.
did you ever find a fix?

Mountain Lion iMac spotlight not working

Hello,
My iMac's (Mountain Lion) spotlight and finder windows cannot find any of my files or applications. For example, when I open spotlight and start typing an application I want to open, all that shows up are websearches. Also in finder when I "click all my files" on the sidebar nothing shows up. Similarly, if I look for a file through the Finder's search bar the search results show nothing. It seems as though my mac can't tell me where any of my files are.
Others have suggested I go to the Privacy section in the Spotlight Preference pane and add my hard drive to the list, then remove it. However, when I click the plus sign at the bottom and try to add ANY file, not just the hard drive, an error window pops up reading: Privacy List Error The item couldn't be added or removed because of an unknown error.
I have also tried restoring my mac using time machine, but that left me in the exact same position. If any one could offer me any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

Hi Carolyn, thanks for helping out! Right I have an imac (mid 2007) 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
My mac was running Lion and it crashed and I had to reboot....I erased the harddrive and started from scratch.
The imac was running Lion and I purchased Mountain lion from apple amd recieved a redemption code via email (no discs) logged into my apple account and put in the redeem code.
All good so far.
When promted to put in my apple id and password I get an error message saying something like ; this apple ID has not purchased mountain lion' even though I have??
so I can't install and stuck in recovery mode.
I can't install maverick without an active operative system.
