[Problem] Issue to create Ad-Hoc Network for iPad via MacBook

Hello everyone,
I have a white MacBook (2007) and an iPad 2.
I am at a hotel which only has a cable Internet access.
I would like to create an Ad-Hoc Network with my MacBook to use the iPads WiFi.
I was able to create the Ad-Hoc Network via the Internet-Sharing in the MacBook Settings, but as soon as I switch on the Sharing, neither the MacBook Internet nor the iPad Internet are working (I also tried it with my not jailbroken iPhone 3GS, same result). When I switch off the WiFi from my MacBook, at least I can use the Internet via cable.
Is it possible that the Internet is not strong enough to use it with 2 devices. I forgot my MacBook charger, does this maybe a reason that it is not working, because the MacBook doesn't have enough power?
What else can be a reason.
I heard it should be quiet easy to create an Ad-Hoc connection, but now I wonder why it is not working.
I would appreaciate any help.
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

But this doesn't mention at all how to connect iphones, ipods and ipads.
Your original post didn't mention those. But now it sounds like your wireless access point is down. That's a separate issue. Unless you have a specific need for an ad-hoc network, I suggest you fix your WAP and connect all the devices to it.

  • Creating ad-hoc network for iTouch in XP

    Has anyone been able to sucessfully create an ad-hoc network within Windows XP and get there iPod touch online with it? (***** that you can't import certificates on the iTouch yet...)

    Ok, a few points.
    1) I'm not sure if you are using just your laptop and the iPod. If so you will need another computer to keep the network alive. If you don't add another computer the network will stay alive for a short period of time which will allow you to at least use it for a little while.
    2) Do you have Internet connection sharing enabled in windows? Go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Right click your Internet connection -> Click the 'Advanced' Tab up top -> And check the box 'Allow other users to connect through this computer's Internet connection'
    3) If you have done the above or are sure your internet connection is being shared ie. Another device (other than the device directly connected to the Internet) on the network can use the Internet. Ensure that the computer connected directly to the Internet has the IP address 192.168.0.1
    To check this go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Right click your WIRELESS network connection.
    In the area below "This connection uses the following items:" scroll down to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", select it and hit properties.
    Ensure "Obtain an IP address automatically" is NOT checked. Enter the IP address 192.168.0.1 if it is not already entered. Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
    Once you have done this.
    On your iPod Touch go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Whatever your network is called (tap the blue arrow next to this)
    Under IP Address click "Static"
    Enter and IP Address not used on your network. eg. "192.168.0.2" DON'T USE "192.168.0.1" as we just used it for the computer connected to the Internet!
    Subnet mask is "255.255.255.0"
    Router is "192.168.0.1" - Yes I know you don't have a router but the computer connecting to the Internet is acting as one. If you wish you can also enter DNS as "192.168.0.1". I have but it shouldn't really have any impact.
    You're Internet should now work assuming you don't have a proxy enabled, which I seriously doubt you would. If you do then enable HTTP Proxy below where you just entered your IP address and enter your proxy username and password.
    Everything should work now.

  • What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

    Hello..
    "what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
    I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
    But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
    I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
    Thanks and Regards..

    We are all users here.
    There is no one here from Apple.
    In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
    Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
    There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
    It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules.  You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
    No one here is going to be able to help you.
    Good Luck.

    Can you create an ad hoc network between an Apple TV and a MacbookPro to use air play mirroring? It would be useful when there is no available wireless network?

    Hey, thanks for reading my problem!

  • Ad hoc network for ipod touch

    I know there's several posts about this but non are specific to my setup so I though I would create my own thread.
    My setup
    I have a pc running vista 32 bit and I use this as my server. My internet connection goes through this pc and i shared amonst 3 other pcs. This pc has 2 NIC's, 1 for the internet/modem and is shared, the other to connect to my 1gb hub. I do not have a router, I have the net shared through the server pc then on to a hub which the other pcs are connected too. I have assigned static ips to the network computers and all manage to get on the net.
    My laptop (win XP Pro) which is one of the computers connected to this hub also has built in wireless and I would like to know how I can use this wireless feature to get my ipod touch online as well.
    The laptop is on the net using the NIC and everything is fine. For the wireless connection I setup an ad hoc connection and it's showing up in the wireless network connections in XP on the same laptop so that's running correctly. My ipod finds this wifi and does connect, however i can not browse the net using it. It keeps saying Safari can not find the server.
    server pc wired - ip 192.168.0.1
    laptop wired - ip 192.168.0.2
    laptop wireless - ip 192.168.0.3
    I have tried the following settings in my ipod wifi settings.
    ip 192.168.0.4
    subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    router 192.168.0.1
    The wifi symbol shows up in the top left of the ipod but again it just won't connect to the internet. IS my network too complicated or not how things should be setup? I know ad hoc works but perhaps i'm not doing it right.
    Any help would be great. Thanks!

  • Can not create ad-hoc network

    I am trying to create an ad-hoc network on my macbook pro 15.4" 1.5 gb of ram 1.83ghz first-gen and just upgraded to leopard
    I am trying to create a network for internet sharing and I don't have it turned on internet sharing and then It says there is an error setting up a ad-hoc network and I have tried all the channels and nothing works help please thank you

    I might have the answer. I had the same problem. Try changing the default name of the network to something short without an apostrophe. When I did that, I was able to create the network.
    Note: my name is long and that is the name my computer has for me, so the default network name on mine was a mile long and full of punctuation.
    Note: The first 20 or so times I tried to create the network, it wouldn't let me change the name, which I was going to change just for a laugh as opposed to doing it to not get the error message.
    Maybe a coincidence and maybe not. Good Luck.

  • Using Airport Express to set up an ad hoc network for presentations

    I have to give a presentation where I will both need my MacBook Pro and iPad. I may or may not have a wireless network available (will depend on location). Is there a way that I can use an Airport Express to set up an ad hoc network and use an Apple TV for AirPlay from my iPad and laptop?

    Easy to do. Just set up the AirPort Express to "Create a wireless network".
    When you see the "error" message(s) that there is not an Ethernet cable plugged into the WAN port and/or no Internet connection, click "ignore" and you will have a green light on the Express.
    Wireless devices will connect to the network by selecting it and entering the password.

  • How to create a private network for OCFS2 in OVS 2.2.1

    Does anyone know how to create a separate netwok for ocfs2 and leave the regular vm traffic on the main network.
    I have done the following
    - configured 3 vm servers connected fia fibre channel to a SAN
    - Bonded 2 network cards on each server to provide 1 bridge on each. (172 network)
    - Installed a 3rd network card in each server and configured on a 10 network with a separate switch.
    so my servers are called bart, lisa, flanders
    I can communicate between them effectively and the VM manager on a different server can talk to them all.
    I have also configured entries for bart2, lisa2, flanders2
    which are on the 10 network. I can ping and talk between these successfully.
    I can't however configure the cluster.conf to use the bart2, lisa2, flanders2 as it has a problem with the names not matching the local name of the machine.
    Im not sure if changing the server name will affect the VM agent.

    Basically, Oracle VM uses the IP address you specify when adding the Oracle VM server to configure OCFS2 and Live
    Migration. So you should use the private ip when adding the server.
    Then, the "regular" VM guests network traffic will be on the network/bridge/bond the guest itself belongs to.
    Maybe this old thread would be interesting for you to read:

  • Problem with tutorial:Creating a dynamic playlist for streaming flash video

    hi, anyone tried the tutorial: creating a dynamic playlist
    for streaming flash video?
    i follow the instruction exactly as stated in the tutorial
    and test the fla file, it worked perfectly well when i open the swf
    using the macromedia flash 8. Everything look fine. Nothing is
    changed except the url is changed to "rtmp://localhost/videosource"
    in the xml file.
    after i publish the file using the setting: access network
    only, i try to open the swf and html file from the folder, the
    thumbnail did not appear and there is no way i can click on any
    videos. What i see is only the list, and there is no response from
    the flash media server 2. All the files is in the same folder.
    Anyone please help with this problem???? thanks

    ....i debug the movie step by step
    and realised that the xml file is being read by the code...
    Your original problem stated it worked but not when playing
    outside the
    Flash authoring environment by simply loading the swf from
    the hard drive.
    The Flash authoring environment is a trusted environment and
    so you really
    need to test in the actual deployment mode which loading an
    swf from the
    hard drive is not a valid deployment unless an installed
    Flash player is
    available outside the web browser which you would have as you
    have the
    authoring tool and your users will not.
    Use a browser with
    http://yourdomain.com/yourmovie.html
    to do final
    debugging.
    In this regard you may need to debug the movie while running
    in real time
    mode in a web browser with
    http:// A technique to trace I suggested is to
    create a temporary TextField perhaps named out_txt and send
    trace message to
    it such as out_txt.text += "My Trace Expression".
