Nokia 520- Internet Sharing Issue After WinPhone 8...

I recently updated my Lumia 520 (AT&T) to WinPhone 8.1 OS. Since the update was installed, I am unable to turn on my internet sharing (mobile hotspot). I receive the following message on the screen, "Connect not shared. To enable tethering on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611." I have spoken with AT&T technical support on several occasions and they do not see an issue with my plan. I also have a second device (another Lumia 520) on my plan that was currently running WinPhone 8.0 and successfully sharing internet as a mobile hotspot. Today, I manually updated the OS on that device to WinPhone 8.1 and as expected, the internet sharing functionality stopped working after the update.
I have looked through various message boards and posts related to similar issues, however I cannot find one that is directly attributed to the WinPhone 8.1 update.
Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Abi99
After I pulled the battery to get the product code, the error message when I try to start ICS changed to: Connection not Shared. Internet sharing isn't currently available
I am still on AT&T. However, I ported the number (not the device) out to T-mob and then back to AT&T 3 weeks later. I used the 520 on WiFi in the interim 3 weeks, and during this time, it received the 8.1 update notification, and I installed 8.1.
Which connection profile is choosen in Lumia » menu » settings » celluar+SIM » SIM settings?
Active network: AT&T
Data Connection: On
Don't Roam
SIM Settings: SIM
No data under APN settings (all fields empty)
add internet APN » APN wap.cingular » save » power off » power on: Does it work?
Tried, doesn't work
add internet APN » APN phone » save » power off » power on: Does it work?
Tried, doesn't work. But after this change, the error messgae goes back to the original one:
Connection not shared. To enabled tethering on this device go to ; http ~ or dila 611

IMac and internet sharing issue

Under System Preferences_Internet & Sharing_Sharing, I have the internet sharing box checked, along with screen sharing. Whenever I turn on my computer, the internet sharing is disabled, although the box is still checked. Once I re-check the box, it starts up again. What gives?

Everyone I found the answer after I posted my own comment re localhost...got me thinking.
I checked /etc/hosts file and in there was a loopback to localhost
127.0.0.1 somewebsite.com
WOW...how the heck did that get entered as I never edited this file??
Now all works fine.
Thanks everyone for your assistance.

Internet Explorer issues after installing Update KB2955163 on Windows 8

Dear,
Since we've installed Windows update KB2955163 on Windows 8, we've been experiencing the following issues:
- After using Internet Explorer for a long while (one hour or longer), some websites won't work properly anymore. For example: list boxes and pop-ups don't appear.
- After using Internet Explorer for a long while (one hour or longer), employees can't access any external webpages. They receive a message saying the webpage isn't available. Reconfiguring the Proxy-settings will temporarily fix this problem.
*The above problems don't appear on all of our computers running Windows 8.
We've found the only fix for these problems, is to uninstall Windows update KB2955163.
All of our affected systems are running Windows 8 Enterprise x64, and come from various manufacturers (Dell / HP etc.).
Is anyone of you guys familiar with these specific issues regarding Windows update KB2955163?
Many thanks in advance,
Thom

Hi,
Did this issue occur on all computers which installed that update?
In generally, it's not most likely be Windows update cause.
Let's narrow down the issue:
Have you tried to reset the Internet Explorer to check the result:
1.Close all Internet Explorer windows that are currently open.
2.Open the desktop, and then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar. Changing your settings will affect both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop.
3.Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click
Internet options.
4.Tap or Click the Advanced tab, and then tap or click
Reset.
5.In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.
6.When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, tap or click
Close, and then tap or click OK. You'll need to restart your PC for these changes to take effect.
If it persists, perform a clean boot to see if it caused by some third-party software:

Nokia Lumia - Internet Sharing

Hello all, I am using a Nokia Lumia 800 with Vodafone India 3G connections. However, i am unable to use the internet sharing feature on my phone. My computer shows a limited access to it. The phone internet is working fine but cant use the same on the laptop. My phone is updated and I have also installed the Network Setup from Nokia Store. However, it does not detect any settings too. Any help will be very highly appreciated. Nitin Kanodia

I have a nokia lumia 635. It was an upgrade from 521. I am running through the straighttalk prepaid service. The 521 worked perfectly with internet sharing and I had no problems. Now I can't connect to the service. When I inquired about this problem with straighttalk they claim that they don't support it.
I'm quite confused how it could work perfectly on an older model and not work within 30 days. If there is any help out there, I could use it!!
I have noticed however that this phone is now LTE instead of 4G. If that is a factor that may be causing the problem, I'd like to know, and maybe see if that can be adjusted in order to allow access to this sharing option.
Thanking you in advance,
Debb

Mavericks 10.9.2 Internet sharing prob after updgrade from 10.6.8, any solutions?

Hello World!
Here I am going to tell you my woe story which is, I finally decided to upgrade to 10.9.2 from my a little worn 10.6.8, and was very happy with a choice until stumbled upon the complete failure with establishing the Internet sharing for surrounded devices with wi-fi interfaces. Just the way it does just perfectly with 10.6.8!
Actually the network interface appears to be started but connected devices are no longer available to espablish any conection with it.
I never had deleted nothing, or changed a something tricky, I am not ageek at all.
Please help?

Same here from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2 internet sharing using WiFi won't work. I can see the little upper arrow flashing then it seems to be looking to connect over wifi instead of sharing it.

AD HOC Internet Sharing Issues

I was delighted when i found out that my MBP could put out a wireless signal for the touch to use as im not in the location for one in my university halls. However although i can access some websites, the majority being search engines, google, yahoo, wikipedia, etc. i cannot go further than that, for example i can go to google, search IPod, look at the results, but not access any of them. The youtube application never loads videos even though sometimes it will find search results. Also i cant get on to the apple website, one of the default bookmarks. Is this due to the integrity of an ad hoc network? Or is there something odd?
I ask this mainly on the basis that it loads the search engines up in a matter of seconds, but then completely times out on the next step of accessing results.
Help for a noob would be much appreciated.
Tim

To elaborate a bit, a more Mac kinda guy than I am confirmed that internet sharing makes the mini act as a gateway, but not a router, which is obviously what I need. Is there a convenient way to get it to act as a router, or do I need to spend some quality time with ipfw?

Sudden Internet Sharing Issue From Laptop to Tower

I have a laptop ibook G4 running 10.5.7 that is connected successfully to wifi.
Until yesterday, I was sharing successfully with my G5 tower running 10.4.11.
I restarted my laptop last night and it wouldn't connect. I checked my settings under 'network/airport' and light was green and I got an IP address. I also saw 'network/ethernet' showed green and had a different IP address (not sure it is supposed to do that, but I'd assumed it was the IP address for my tower)
Anyway, I unplugged the ethernet going to the tower and my laptop started working.
Now, as soon as I plug the ethernet cable up, the laptop acts like its not connected.
I turned 'network/ethernet' to off and that makes my laptop work again...
Does this sound normal?
My tower's prefs arent identical since its 10.4.
I'd had both set to sharing/internet/ethernet and it's worked for weeks. I'm not sure what the current problem is a result of. Should my laptop 'network' settings be set for airport only? Or do I need to monkey with the 'ethernet' too? Should both computers be set for 'sharing' with built-in ethernet, or just the laptop?

First update your Mac OS. This issue may have been solve in one of the recent updates.
Second, be sure that the router firmware is up-to-date. This sleeping issue was common when Leopard first came out. Many of us had it and it was resolved by updating router firmware, or replacing old routers. I include myself in that group. The problem disappeared after updating both my routers.
I would also ignore WEP encryption. It takes a few minutes for anyone in range to hack it.
If your router does not support WPA2, then it's too old and you should replace it, killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.
Any router sans WPA2 is simply too old for today's OSs, and Leopard is very demanding when it comes to router security.

Odd sharing issue after updating to 10.7.4

Ok, first of all I made the jump from 10.6.8 straight to 10.7.4 on both my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 Quad 3 Ghz and my 2010 MacBookPro
Till this upgrade I was able to file share and mount either computers hard drive(s) on the other coputers desktop as a shared drive. However, what I experience now in Lion is that while using the Mac Pro, I am able to see the MacBookPro, share the screen, and mount the drive on the Mac Pro desktop. However, on the MacBookPro I can see the Mac Pro in my side bar, but when I click on it it says connection failed. I get the following message when I try to connect as:
There was a problem connecting to the server "macpro"
Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.
I can however share the screen just fine. I just can't mount the drive as a shared drive like I was able to under SL. This is getting really frustrating as I have check, rechecked the network and sharing settings and everything looks like it should on both computers. I can't find where I can go to try to "check the server name or IP address" as the message tells me to do, so even if it's wrong somewhere I have no way to find what its pointing to and "fix" it.
The only oddity that I can see is that on the Mac Pro when it's set to connect to the Macbook Pro using an AFP location. However on the Macbook pro trying to connect to the Mac Pro it lists a VPN location? yet I cannot find where this is to change it to an AFP location to see if that solves the issue. I'm pretty stumped here .
The LAN setup I have is a DSL modem/router that is hard connected to my Mac Pro, and my Macbook pro connects to it via wi-fi. This setup hasn't changed since updating to Iion. I'm able to connect to the internet fine. I just don't get why I can't mount my Mac Pro hard drives on my desktop as I used to be able to.

I was having the exact same symptom. In my case 2 other Macs (Air and Macbook Pro) were backing up to a shared drive on my Mac Mini server. After the upgrade to 10.7.4 on the Mac Mini I noticed that backups were completely stopped (unable to mount drive).
I went to the Mac Mini server and ensured AFP was checked and just in case also explicitly added SMB access for the users that would be doing the backups. Here is a screen shot of my settings:
In my case that STILL was not enough. For the machine I had upgraded to 10.7.4 (Air) it failed with some sort of mount error. Ugh! Via another post I learned that 10.7.4 was not going to be happy until it started fresh with a new Time Machine image. So I backed up the Air to a different drive on the Mini, erased the original image and then backed up to the original drive.
At this point I can't say which combo was sufficient to fix my problems... much less yours. Hope this helps.

Bluetooth Network and Internet sharing issue

I'm trying to set up a network through Bluetooth between two computers having the latest Toshiba Stack installed, and to share the Internet connection with the second computer.
On the firs computer I've set the Internet Connection Sharing, and because of this it automatically sets the TCP/IP adresses for the Bluetooth Personal Area network (192.168.0.1).
On the 2nd computer, i've set everything to obtain it automatically. Firewalls (Kaspersky) disabled.
When I connect the 2 Bluetooth devices, everything looks fine, the 2nd automatically obtains the IP adress, I can ping both computers, and the Internet also works on the 2nd computer, for a few seconds! After that, it appears like the 2nd computer is disconnected from the network... what could be the problem?
In the event viewer under the System tab, I've found Informations like these:
2nd comp:
The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{E44D18EB-91F5-4... was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter.
The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{E44D18EB-... because a master browser was stopped.
and at 1st comp also appeares this:
The system detected that network adapter Bluetooth...Area Network - Packet Scheduler Miniport was disconnected from the network, and the adapter's network configuration has been released. If the network adapter was not disconnected, this may indicate that it has malfunctioned. Please contact your vendor for updated drivers.

Is anyone having Web Sharing issues after switching from 10.6 to Mountain Lion?

I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) but I wanted to see if anyone is experiencing any issues with their Web Sharing after making the switch. I use Web Sharing daily to build and test web sites for my clients and when I made the switch to 10.6 none of my database driven sites worked. Ultimately I had to install a new version of PHP 5 because 10.6 came with and older version. And I had to reinstall SQL for my databases along with some other related items. It wasn't a major problem but it took a couple of days to track down the issue. Anyone seen any weirdness like that with Mountain Lion?

Web sharing is absent in Mountain Lion. Apple removed the feature. There're some unofficial hacks to bring it back, search the forums.

SMB/Windows Sharing Issues after 10.4.4 Update?

After upgrading to 10.4.4, I'm finding that I'm now unable to connect via my Windows XP Workstation. I've been using the combination of Windows Sharing and SharePoints to share out some directories to my XP box, which has been working great until this update.
I've double checked that Windows Sharing is still enabled (and have turned it off and back on), rebooted, checked my SharePoints configuration, fixed permissions, etc.
Is anyone else out there having problems with Windows Sharing after this update?

Please ignore this post. I realized that I had installed new firewall software on my Windows XP Workstation that was causing the issue.

Nokia 701 Belle FP1 issues after Hard Reset

Hi Nokia Community,
It is very unfortunate that i am facing so much problems that i have to write a post here, even though i know, no one of you would be able to sort out these disturbing issues.
I was using 701 updated to FP1, working ok besides some usual store crashes, recently it stopped opening some games like angry birds, spiderman, h.a.w.k.s etc it stayed blacked out when clicked on a game. So i thought about resetting it to factory settings.
Which turned out to be the worst mistake i ever made with this phone, let me list the issues i am facing mention below:
1. It is unable to connect to mobile internet connection at all, even though settings entered both automatic and manual way. (The only solution to this problem i have discovered is to leave the phone resetted, if i tried to back up my old settings and apps,its causing it to not connect to the internet)
2. Nokia store, Angry Birds NFC, Asphalt, Microsoft Apps, Maps are vanished, and nothing makes them appear back.
3. I have tried tirelessly to reinstall the 413MB frimware with latest version of Nokia Suite it says successful but it seems to fail because nothing changes/fixes on my phone not even a single icon.
4. Unstable WiFi connection, frequent web browser crashes.
Some other people having similar issues, fixed their internet problem by deleting kaspersky antivirus, but i don't have any such app installed on my phone but still something is causing my phone not to access the data connection when i try to restore the backup.
I know i can manage by not doing backup and start over again, but what about the factory installed apps, store client, maps, crashes, WiFi?
I am so done with nokia, why do they release buggy and unstable frimware updates? Kindly provide an immediate fix to this issue.
Regards,
Geek0Belle.

Nokia care is the solution.
Please backup important data before going to Nokia care.
Hope this helps.
