Problem in Internet Sharing from Ethernet to wifi

Whenever i go to Preferences > Sharing > Click Internet Sharing > From Ethernet > to wifi and hit start. It actually creates my wifi access point but the problem is that i lose my internet connection from both, my mac from which the connection is being shared and my cellphone which is connected to it. I can not identify what is the problem, but i have tried it many times with or without the WPA2 personal key. Even after stopping the internet sharing, i have to plug out and then in my ethernet cable in order to connect to internet.
This problem was also on OS X mavericks with me last year, but it resolved automatically, i don't know how. But since when i have upgraded to yosemite, i can't make my hotspot connection working . Suggest any quick and effective way please.

Same problem over here...
Additionally: if I unplug Gigabit-Ethernet-Adapter and plug it in again while Internet Sharing is still activated, the internet via ethernet works, but breaks down again about a minute later...

Internet sharing from Ethernet to Airport Wi-Fi (how to turn off broadcast)

I'm using "Internet Sharing" from Preferences / Sharing / Internet Sharing, to share my connection from Ethernet to "computers using" Airport. I'm wondering if there's a way to turn off broadcasting of the wireless name.

Just found this old thread asking the same question, though the question itself was never answered within it.

Is it technically possible to turn off the SSID broadcasting when using Internet Sharing in OS X?

Internet Sharing from Macbook Pro to iPad???

Trying to get my wife's iPad to connect to the internet in a hotel that has wired high speed internet but no wifi.
My MacBook Pro connects just fine. So I turned on Internet Sharing for both Bluetooth and wifi (with WEP password for wifi).
The iPad connects to the Mac by wifi but says it has no internet connection.
With Bluetooth, it pairs OK. The Mac sets it up as serial port sharing (no other choice offered, but within that there is a choice of modem or RS232 protocol). But when I try to connect it connects momentarily then disconnects right away.
Any suggestions on how to let the iPad get at the internet in this situation?

I am still not succeeding.
I just upgraded to a new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. Testing at home, where there are no issues around hotel ISP limitations and I feel pretty safe originating an open wifi network for a few minutes.
Set up Internet Sharing from Ethernet to Wifi. Used the Create Network option for wifi in the menu bar to set up an open unprotected wifi network whose name is the name of my Mac. I can choose any wifi channel from 1 to 11; it makes no difference.
I can see that network from my wife's iPad, and can connect to it no problem. But as in all similar tests since Snow Leopard came out, Safari in the iPad can't open any web sites; it says it is not connected to the internet. I can also connect to the MBP wifi from my iPhone, but if I select it, the 3G symbol still shows at the top of the screen because the phone cannot find an internet connection over that wifi.
Clearly some other people are managing to do what I cannot. Quite possibly some piece of third party software on my Mac is interfering. Little Snitch, for example, though it is currently turned off.

Internet sharing from Wifi to Ethernet is not working after Mountain Lion upgrade

First I was having trouble just connecting these two, now I can't get the Internet sharing to work. Here's what I am trying to do: I want to share my Macbook Pro's internet connection from it's Wifi to another laptop I have connected via ethernet cable. They will ping each other now. The problem now is that the laptop won't pick up the Internet connection from the Macbook Pro, even though I have it configured exactly as I had in Snow Leopard. Nothing has changed on the laptop from before when it worked fine with Snow Leopard. But now that I updated to Mountain Lion, Internet sharing no longer works no matter what I try. I've been trying to find a solution by to no avail. Could anyone here offering some advice or a solution that will fix my problem? I've been over the basic steps over and over again, so please don't ask me to do something stupid like reboot or check the Sharing settings. They're exactly how they are meant to be, but the thing just won't work.

Ran a TCPdump on my Macbook Pro. It is recieving the ping requests, but the laptop still isn't getting replies to its pings. So something is wrong in the Macbook's configuration somewhere. I don't know where, though.

I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

How to Internet sharing from AirPort throuhg Ethernet

I've not set up a Bluetooth PAN; a Personal Area Network. Modems and keyboards and such, yes.
My usual approach here would be a WiFi USB widget, or an embedded WiFi card or a PCMCIA / PC Card or a CardBus WiFi or wired network adapter, or a wired Ethernet connection for the Windows Vista laptop.
This to connect from the Windows Vista laptop to the AirPort, or into a wireline Ethernet (if there is one). And from there to the Mac Mini server running Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server software.
As for the PAN, I don't know. I don't have Mac OS X Server running on a box with Bluetooth hardware, either.

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 :/

How to setup Internet Sharing from new MacBook Pro to iMac G4?

Hey everyone,
I have a new 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.7) and an iMac G4 running Panther (10.3.9).
The iMac doesn't have an AirPort card and the easiest way to get internet on it seems to be Internet Sharing.
I want to setup Internet Sharing from the MBP's Airport via ethernet to the iMac's ethernet, but am having trouble configuring the IP addresses etc to get the iMac to comply.
Your help and advice is much appreciated

How to prevent internet sharing from turning itself of automatically

There is any way to prevent internet sharing from turning of itself automatically wen the analog modem is disconnected?
At home i have to use an analog modem to connect to the internet (no adsl coverage), under Snow Leopard i was able to create a wi-fi Network to share files and connection between an iMac (connected directly to the internet), an iPhone, a MacBook and a Ps3.
With lion, apple introduced a new feature in the internet sharing tools: in fact the wi-fi connection is turned ON only when the modem (or the selected internet source whatever it is) is connected to the internet, when i disconnect it all the network is turned Of.
So, there is any way to keep alive the network also when the modem is disconnected, like when i was under Snow Leopard?

Problems with internet sharing/network connection/ethernet and XBOX 360

So basically I have a sent my Mac Book Pro 13" (Snow Leopard) away to be fixed, and in return I got a loan Mac Book Pro 15" (Lion). In the two weeks my Mac book was away getting fixed I purchased an XBOX 360, because of my location I am unable to use wireless on my XBOX, so instead I connect the loan Mac Book to the XBOX 360 via network cable.
This worked fine and I could now connect to XBOX Live and be on the Mac Book at the same time.
So today my Mac Book (13") is returned, I connect everything up exactly the same also changing the settings on internet sharing making sure that it can be used to send the connection to other devices via ethernet.
But it just wont connect.
The XBOX doesnt find the connection like it did before, and it also doesnt register on the MAC Book either.
I've tried different cables, the same cable I used where it worked before.
I've tried turning of Virus protection.
Both still at both ends it is not registering a connection, I have used this Mac Book before through a network cable so I dont think there is a problem there, to my knowledge everything is the same as I did on the other Mac Book but this one does work.
Have you any advice or tips on how to get this to work?
Thanks for your time.

What I did to get my network running again (although I still haven't found out why DHCP has stopped working):
1. Open the Control Panel of the computer that's trying to connect to the network (not the computer sharing the internet connection)
2. Go to 'Network' panel, and select the AirPort connection
3. Under the 'TCP/IP' tab, change 'Configure IPv4' pull-down menu from 'Using DHCP' to 'Manually'.
4. Enter an IP address between 10.0.2.2 and 10.0.2.256 (I randomly chose 10.0.2.40), a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and enter 10.0.2.1 in the Router box.
5. Click "Apply now"
The computer should now be connected to the network, and able to access the internet. If not, you may need to manually enter a DNS server - put '4.2.2.1' (or an IP for a DNS server provided by your ISP) into the 'DNS Servers' box.
You need to do that process for each computer you're trying to connect to the shared network, making sure you enter a different IP Address for each.

I have no Internet connection(via ethernet or wifi) since I upgrade it to Yosemite.what is wrong?should I go back to Mavericks?

Hello!
I have a Mac mini and I just installed the Yosemite upgrade system and since then I can't connect to the internet anymore. I was using my computer also as a router for my home, abd after the upgrade my computer can't connect to the internet. It appears as it is connected to ethernet but no page can be load, and it appears the message that: this page cannot be displayed as the computer is offline. Why?? what means is offline?? And I also put the internet cable to my laptop and I share the internet, to see if it sees the wifi and the mac mini connected to the wifi but still can't connect to the internet, showing the same message as above.
So far I didn't see other problems with the new upgrads, I like the new look, but I believe is moving a bit slower and it takes too much to launch after I restart it.
My question is should I go back to Mavericks or anyone can help me with my problem?? I did reinstall 2 times the system
already and I check in disk utility couple of times...same problem, no Internet...or better say, "my computer is offline", as it says in safari window.
I really need help pleeeeeeease as I work from home and all my work is on that Mac Mini!!! And I need to downgrade to Mavericks can u please tell me how
to?!!
Thank you very much!

Hi,
You need to sign in when using Photoshop Elements 12 as it is the method of activation. If you sign out it deactivates that installation.
If you are having problems, see if the following helps.
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
Good luck

Internet Sharing from some other source TO an AirPort base station

I have an unusual setup. My wifi comes in through some obscure USB adapter in my desktop Mac. This cannot be changed. I then connect my desktop Mac to my Mac laptop with an ethernet cable and enable Internet Sharing. This works fine.
What I would like to do is connect the desktop Mac to the AirPort base station instead of directly to my laptop. Then I could use the built-in AirPort in the laptop to connect to the base station. I've tried using the desktop Mac's internal AirPort with internet sharing, which works sporadically. I would rather use this new base station that I got if we could focus on that instead of fixing this other method please.
Is there a special way to set up the base station to do this? It doesn't work automatically. For example, should I use the LAN or WAN port? What settings should I change with AirPort admin utility?

Yes that can work.
Enable internet sharing on the desktop Mac from USB to Ethernet.
Connect the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the desktop Mac. Configure the AEBS to act as a bridge (not sharing a single public IP address).

Internet sharing AirPort - Ethernet

I have a wireless access point. I'm trying to share internet from my PowerBook to Windows laptop which doesn't have WiFi. In 'Sharing' I select 'Internet Sharing' then I am choosing AirPort in 'share from' field and checking 'Ethernet' as a 'share to' destination. When I connect second laptop with ethernet cable it acquires DHCP assigned IP address from my PowerBook but cannot access internet still. At the same time PowerBook loses internet connection, and is unable to reconnect even if I disable internet sharing. It reconnects only after I re-log.
What am I doing wrong? How to share internet to the second laptop?

In Network configuration, is Ethernet above Airport in the list on the left hand side?
This list sets the priority should more than one interface be active.
You need to make sure that the Internet connection is above the ethernet connection.

Internet sharing from MBP to iPod Touch?

I have a MacBook Pro connected to the Internet through my company's ethernet network. Since there is no WiFi connection available here, I am attempting to use "Internet sharing" between my ethernet / Internet connection on the MBP to my iPod Touch. There is no proxy server or special settings I have on my MBP to access the Internet through the ethernet connection so I thought it would be as simply as turning the "Internet Sharing" on, creating an "ad-hoc" wireless network, and connecting to it with my iPod Touch.
I can see and connect to the wireless connection that my MBP has created for Internet Sharing, but I can't access any Internet content from the iPod Touch. I changed the settings on the iPod Touch WiFi connection from DHCP assigned, static IP, and I've even tried using my MBP's wireless IP as well as ethernet IP addresses as the router on the iPod Touch with no luck. I also tried setting the subnet mask on the iPod Touch to 255.255.0.0 and using the MBP's ethernet gateway IP address as the router IP on the iPod Touch (still no luck).
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

If new events added to your Mac do not appear on your calendar on icloud.com when you check from your computer, make sure you are adding the events to calendars that belong to your "iCloud" account and not an "On My Mac" or another non-iCloud account. You can check by clicking Calendars on the top left of the Calendars application.
If you are and they still don't appear on icloud.com, add any missing events from your Mac calendar to your calendar on icloud.com, then go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check Calendars again. Then add a new event on your Mac calendar and see if it appears on icloud.com and your iPod now.
