Recieve and Share Connection through airport

hello,
I staying at a very big house, and the wifi here does not extend to my room. We have 2 iBook G4's and I was wondering if there is a way to recieve the connection on one iBook, and with the same one broadcast it through its airport card. Whenever I try to share the connection it wont let me be connected to the internet. any suggestions of programs or tips that will help me do this?
Thanks
Zack

I stand by what I said: "A laptop with a wired connection can share the Internet through it's wireless card or vice versa." That means they can both:
1. connect wirelessly to the internet via Airport
base station
2. connect via ethernet to other computers on a LAN
and share that airport based internet connection with
the other computers ?
I have not tried to do what you are suggesting but it should work according to this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107484
I have DSL but am considering dumping it as
sharing an airport connection is far cheaper.
You still need an ISP so if not DSL what would the Airport share?
it is possible to have both airport and
ethernet active as far as that goes.
They can both be active but unless you enable Internet Sharing from Airport to Ethernet in the Sharing System Preference it won't happen.

Why use static IPs? If they can't find a DHCP server they will default to being on the same subnet (169.254.x.x). Internet Sharing assumes the clients will be using DHCP.

  • How I Can "chain" 2 HDD and share it through Airport Extreme?

    The question is, I have an Iomega HDD 500 Gb and I want to buy another, but I want to share it through the Airport Extreme USB Share Port. The idea is to see it as a single volume (better) or as a two different HDD (worse). It's possible to chain this two HDD through firewire ports or the USB? It's possible to share more than one disk through the Airport Extreme?
    Thanks

    Only drives I been able to connect successfully and continues are OWC drives on the Airport extreme base thru usb port. I have two drive thru belkin hub connected to two 250GB from OWC drives. To back up large files take for ever. So I have changed or converted to NAS drives.
    I hope this will help you?

  • Problems sharing internet connection through Airport with a PS3

    Does anybody know how to share an internet connection wirelessly with a PS3? I've tried everything including following directions from the tech support people from both Sony and my ISP (Verizon) and nothing works. Last time I've talked to Verizon I've obtained a IP number from them as Sony recommended and that did not work either. Is anybody out there with a PS3 sharing the internet connection through Airport successfully? I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.!!

  • Sharing Ethernet Connection Through Airport

    Is it possible to share your Ethernet connection through airport so that two computers can connect to a single connection without the need of a wireless router? I know that this is possible on XP, but I am somewhat new with OS X and cannot seem to figure it out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Open the Sharing preference, click on the Internet tab, select the connection to share from the drop down menu, then check the ports that will share the connection.
    You will find additional info by selecting Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and searching on the appropriate term.

  • Logging inbound and outbound connections through my Linksys router

    Hi There,
    I have a  Linksys wireless router (WRT54G series) that I use to connect to the internet with my cable modem. I would like to be able to configure my home network to log inbound and outbound connections through my router. 
    My router, which I bought brand new a couple of years ago, provides some very basic logging through its administration interface.  I can view a current log of very recent (within the past couple of minutes) inbound and outbound connections/traffic.  However, I would like to be able to configure my network to log all inbound and outbound traffic for at least 1 or 2 days and have this log saved somewhere so I can retrieve and review it at a more convenient time.  I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with my current Linksys router and would like some help in configuring my system.
    Is it possible for me to configure (perhaps with a firmware upgrade or even by replacing my older Linksys router with a newer one) my router to continuously log a day or more's worth of inbound and outbound connections?  If this is possible, what changes do I need to implement?  Does Linksys offer a wireless router that has more sophisticated logging capabilities?  What is the longest log period that I can create with a Linksys router?
    If it's not possible to create such a log with my router, then what other components would I need to log this information?  I've thought about setting up a Linux server with two network cards installed to act as a gateway between my router and cable modem which will log traffic.  Would this be a good strategy to implement logging?
    Thanks in advance.

    well...the router's in-built log will only provide basic information about the incoming/outgoing log . So, it will be a good idea to install a separate log viewer .....

  • How to connect a EE 4G HUAWEI E5776 to Airport network and share connection

    Help Please!
    We live in a rural area with poor <6MBS down <1MBS Up Broadband. I have purchased a Huawei E5776 on EE in the UK and can get 16MBS down and about 14mps up.
    Now my problem, large house with 1 Aiport Base Station and 3 Express repeaters share the network around the house. Does anybody know how I can get the Huawei on the wireless network so it can be repeated and used throughout the house? PS I also use 3 Apple TV V2 and various other internet devices.
    Many thanks for any help I have tried all I know and guess it might be down to correct use of IP address and router address but as of now Im stuck. Please keep it to the level of advanced amater not IP professional!

    You would need to connect the wireless modem to a Mac equipped with Ethernet and share the WWAN connection over Ethernet.
    OS X Mavericks: Share your Internet connection
    Connect the Ethernet port to the WAN port on the base station. Configure the base station in bridge mode.

  • Downloaded iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S and cant connect to airport utility.  speakers still work wirelessly from computer so i know it isnt the wiifii connection.  shows everything is connected but when i play a song on itunes the icon doesnt show up for airpor

    I downloaded ios 7 on my iphone 4s and cant play itunes from my iphone to my speakers through airport utility.  it shows im connected thro wifii.  i can play the speakers wirelessly from itunes on my computer so i know its my phone since ios 7 downloaded.  even the icons on the song that turn on the speakers are missing.  what do i have to do to get it back?  Ive deleted airport utility and reinstalled it.  i shutdown my phone and the airport base and wifii and restarted everything.  nothing seems to b helping.

    I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution.  I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

  • ITunes not playing/connecting through Airport Express

    Whenever I try to play a track in iTunes wirelessly through my Airport express iTunes always returns the error: "An error occured while connecting to the remote speaker "AirPort Express" The network connection failed".
    I can't work out what's wrong because the Airport light is green and connected to my router perfectly, there are no errors in the Airport utility and I can print wirelessly to the printer connected to the Airport using the Bonjour setup.
    I have Windows 7 and the latest versions of all software and firmware installed. Turning off Windows firewall makes no difference so it can't be that. I have tried everything I can possibly think of and have gottem nowhere. Please help!

    iTunes does recognize presence of Airport Express (named "Stereo Cabinet").

  • Incredibly slow internet (Connected through airport)

    Hey there!
    I just got myself a new Macbook around 2 months ago and so far I'm very happy with it. I haven't had any problems except for one.
    I'm connected to the internet wireless through Airport and since about a week ago loading web pages is going incredibly slow, whether I use Safari or Firefox. I didn't have this problem before and I didn't change any internet settings. Nothing else changed eigher. I'm still connected to the same network and I didn't install any dodgy programs on my network. Downloading or loading videos doesn't seem to be a problem though. When downloading from a fast server like mac or windows (I know I shouldn't but hey, all my friends use msn ;)) I can easily make the 300 kb/sec. Also waching video's on apple.com/trailers isn't a problem. It's only the loading of web pages or sending e-mails. It sometimes takes up to half a minute to even load google.com. I'm not sure but it might have started after a software update. not at all sure though! Can anybody help me please! Thanks!

    Hi Jop, and Welcome to the discussions!
    Two things to try first...
    Fix Permissions using the Disk Utility, then reboot. or better yet, get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Try putting these in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:
    4.2.2.1
    4.2.2.2
    Might be better ones for you over there, but worth a try.

  • Mac only sees part of external hard drive connected through airport extreme

    I partitioned the Lacie 500gb external drive into a FAT32 portion, and a larger portion for Mac, per instructions so I can use by both Mac and PC. Mac is supposed to 'see' both partitions, but only sees the larger one. If i go through Airport Utility, manual setup, disks..then it does show both partitions. But the smaller partition does not show up on the desktop or in Finder, so I am unable to access it.
    I need the smaller portion to show as well since that is the portion I will use with PC and to share files between PC and Mac. I researched 'mounting' the drive, but nothing there.
    Thanks to anyone who can help...

  • I have replaced my router and cannot connect the airport

  • Triggering and HP3458A connected through GPIB.

    I have two HP3458A connected through GPIB. As them to start simultaneously during one moment of time (for synchronous work)? Whether it is possible to make it with the help TRIGGER?

    Hi,
    There are two standard commands you can use with IEE 488.2 compliant devices. The GET (group execute trigger) multiline message, which is defined in IEEE 488.1. And the *TRG command defined in the IEEE 488.2, which specifies the same behavior as the GET command.
    In both cases you set both instruments as listeners and send the command. Both devices are triggered. There will be delay between the devices caused by the delay in the GPIB bus.
    Notice that the GET command is sent in controller mode (ATN line asserted). For this command you would send byte 0x08 using ibcmd. *TRG, on the other hand, is sent as data. You would send the string "*TRG" using ibwrt.

  • Devices not connecting through Airport extreme wired connection

    Hi
    I just got an Airport extreme to use as an extention of my existing network, and to plug some devices in so that they can connect to the internet for updates (Sony Blu-ray player, dish network receiver, slingbox)...
    my wireless is from a linksys/cisco wireless router (4-port) wrt310n, that is connected to my cable modem. The airport is set and has the green light showing. The blu-ray player and dishnetwork receiver are plugged into two of the ports. The blu-ray player says it can't connect to the internet. The dish network receiver says it is connected, giving ip address/submask, etc.
    If I take my macbook pro and turn off wireless and plug into the airport it will not connect to the internet.
    What have I not done to allow wired connection to the airport extreme to connect to the net?
    thanks
    David

    Thanks for the clarification of your setup.
    Unfortunately, the bottom line here is that this is not going to work.
    The ethernet ports on the Extreme will only be active if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". But, it can only "extend" a wireless network from another Apple router. It's not compatible for this purpose with your Cisco router or any other manufacturer's router.
    If you are unable to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal.
    I should clarify that if you connect the Cisco and AirPort Extreme using ethernet, you would not use the "extend" setting on the AirPort Extreme. This is only used if the device is connecting to another Apple router.
