Share Airport connection between 2 iBooks?

Hi there, I'm setting up a little roving trolley of G3 iBooks at school and they all have airport cards except for one. They are runnin OS 9.1 or 9.2
The ones with airport all see the internet/school network/postscript network printer just fine...
Would it be possible to connect the one without Airport to one of the others via an ethernet cable and connect to the internet/printer that way... sharing the Airport connection?
I'm more familiar with OSX so would appreciate any help!
cheers
Steve

As I recall internet sharing is not a feature in OS 9, but there was software that implemented it on those older systems. I used this software quite some time ago - IPNetRouter by Sustainable Software.

Share airport connection via airport

Can I share my airport connection via airport?
I can barely get aiport signal in my hotel room with my macbook, but my iphone cannot find any networks. Can I use my macbook pro as a bridge?
If I cannot do it with leopard sharing, is there a third party application that can allow it?
Thanks a lot!

Yep, looks like you cannot share from Airport to Airport.
See if the hotel can provide a wired Ethernet connection for you or change your room to one with better reception.

New MBP and old PBG4 don't share Airport connection well.

Hi -
My 2 laptops are both on a wireless network via a Snow ABS.
They don't seem to be able to share the signal.
If one computer is downloading a file, the other one won't be able to connect to the internet.
Without knowing exactly what I'm talking about... I'm guessing this is a bandwidth problem?
Shouldn't they be able to share the connection, albeit at a slower transfer rate, rather than just one at a time?
Also, the MBP connection does seem to be a bit sluggish as compared to the PB, although the range is much improved on the MBP.
Any insights, suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dennis

It disables the DHCP server on the AEBS and therefore the AEBS does not create a subnet nor distribute IP addresses. The devices that connect to the AEBS request an IP address from the network that the AEBS is connected to. If the AEBS is connected directly to a DSL/cable modem, your ISP provides one IP address so therefore there is only one AEBS client allowed.

Intermittent connection between iBook and Airport Extreme Base Station

I have a friend with an iBook set up with the Airport Extreme system, they also have a Denon stereo that it is playing through. However, when the music is playing, it keeps cutting out every 5-10 seconds and is intermittent. On other occasions, when the router & base station is left switched on, it plays fine. Does anyone have a reason for this intermittent playing, and a possible solution? Many thanks,

Check out this Apple article to see if it will help.

Share Airport Connection to Ethernet port in BRIDGE mode?

I've been trying to do this for a while now, but I haven't been able.
I have the modem form my ISP hooked to a Airport Express configured in BRIDGE mode, thus creating a wireless network for my home with "live" IPs for all the computers (yes... I know the security risks...).
My G4 (across the room) gets Internet from it's Airport Card and I configured the Share Internet preference pane to "Share the Internet Connection from the Airport to the Ethernet Port", so I can create (...extend, really) a WIRED network from my G4's Ethernet Port.
The thing is that I want this wired network to have also "live" IPs, but the Airport Card always has the "Distribute IP Addresses" (or it's equivalent, from the Airport Admin Setup) activated, so it provides a 192.168.X.X network and I can't find a way to turn that off.
In other words, I want it to acts as a BRIDGE and not as DHCP Server.
Anyone?
TIA

I was trying to use IPNetShareX to configure it, but I didn't find a way. I'll keep looking...

Share GPRS Connection between two phones

Hey.. was just curious if its possible to share a gprs connection from one mobile.. say N73 to some other mobile say N95 via bluetooth .. I know we can share the internet connection of a PC to a mobile over bluetooth but .. is it possible to do so between two mobiles?
It would be great if there's some 3rd party app which actually makes this possible!

Technically it can be done.
But I don't know til now an application which do this.
There is some apps for WiFi but not for GPRS.
May be you have to post your suggestion to some 3rd party companies or may be it's time for you to develop your own application.
You have many choices for programming: C++, Python, Java, ...
Good luck friend

Airport connection between 2 Macs

I have an iMac intel with OS 10.4.11 and a G4 Power Mac with OS 10.4.3 (need to upgrade) and I would like to network with airport. I have tried everything that I can find but with no success. Can anyone tell me in easy to follow steps how to make this work. I use airport on either/both of my Macs to connect to the internet through a router connected to PCs and have no direct connection to that router.

As I recall internet sharing is not a feature in OS 9, but there was software that implemented it on those older systems. I used this software quite some time ago - IPNetRouter by Sustainable Software.

Swapping Airport Cards Between iBook G3s

So, I have a 2003 ibook G3 that has no airport card installed and an old ibook G3 that does have an airport card. The old G3 is one of those cool "clam" ibooks, so it's relatively old and running OS 9. The 2003 G3 is running OS X.4.5. I don't use my old ibook anymore, so I'd really like to just swap the airport card from the old G3 and put it in my 2003 ibook. Does that work? Any reason I shouldn't? Cannibalizing parts makes me a little nervous.
Here are the specs on the two computers:
2003 ibook G3 (PowerPC 750) 900 mhz
old ibook G3 300 mhz
Thanks!

iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
You have stumbled onto a veritable gold mine!
Yes. They will work fine in a G3 iBook (any G3 iBook).
If you are looking to run 10.4 on a G3 though, look for one that has had its hard drive upgraded (the bigger, the better). And lots of memory, too. The iBook G3 (Dual UB) can take 640 MB with a 512 MB RAM module added to the 128 MB soldered to the logic board. (Some of the very earliest 500 MHz models had only 64 MB on the logic board, so are only upgradeable to 576 MB of RAM.)
I hope you have nearly as much luck finding a good iBook as you did finding the AirPort cards!

Share database connection between servlets

hello,
i need help to know if the following code works well.
The intention is to share a unique JDBC database connection with all servlets of my application.
//************************ file Conexao.java ***********************
// this class makes a databse connection
import java.sql.*;
public class Conexao
Connection conex;
public void conecta()
try
Class.forName("interbase.interclient.Driver");
conex = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:interbase://localhost/c:\\temp\\Kuala.gdb","SYSDBA","masterkey");
catch(ClassNotFoundException ex) { }
catch(SQLException ex) { }
public void desconecta()
try
{ conex.close(); }
catch(SQLException ex) { }
//****************** file SetConnectionContext ****************
// this class creates an instance of Conexao class and invokes the
// conecta() method. After, obtain the ServletContext object and
// set the attribute "conecta" to the ServletContext
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class SetConnectionContext extends HttpServlet
Conexao connection = null;
public void init()
connection = new Conexao();
connection.conecta();
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
context.setAttribute("conecta", connection);
public void destroy()
{ connection.desconecta(); }
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter saida = response.getWriter();
saida.println("<H1>objeto connection atribuido no contexto</H1>");
//****************** file GetConnectionContext.java ******************
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class GetConnectionContext extends HttpServlet
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter saida = response.getWriter();
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
Conexao con = (Conexao) context.getAttribute("conecta");
try {
Statement comando = con.conex.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = comando.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM kl_campanha");
while( rs.next() )
int codCampanha = rs.getInt("codCampanha");
saida.println("<h3>"+codCampanha+"</h3>");
catch(Exception e) { }

I understand the use of a static variable.
But if i want to share a database connection object (a
instance varible instead of class variable) that is
instantiate once and saved in a ServletContext
attribute,
and afterwards the other servlets can get
the object through the ServletContext attribute and
use it. This will works well? i did tests with the
code and everything apparently works.
How does a new connection (different user) get the old context?

Cannot share airport connection to ethernet

Hello everybody,
I am getting a wifi signal on my BlackBook [OSX10.5.8], I am browsing and sending emails. My partners little 12" PowerBook [OSX10.4.11] can't connect to the signal due to distance and inferior antenna.
1] So I am sharing the incoming wifi signal on my BlackBook over the Ethernet and I don't use the firewall.
2] I connect both computers via a patch cable.
3] Now when I set the PowerBook to automatic location it should work. At least that has been the case at previous ocasions, but now it only shows 3 green dots instead of 5?
4] So I thought going about it the manual way. Looking up the IP address on the BlackBook of the outgoing Ehternet port.
in Terminal [type: dig] I am finding the Router address:
5] On the PowerBook in the Network pane at the Build-in Ethernet tab I set it to manual and fill in the numbers. I understood that for the IP address I had to add one number, I did. I am guessing the DNS Servers to be the same as the Router address:
6] All but the Network Settings are green.
Still not being able to connect the PowerBook to the internet. What am I missing, and why is it so difficult?
Adventurous greetings,
Coen

Hello Bob,
Thank you for taking time to look into this, I really appreciate it.
So let me start afresh:
- MacBook [10.5.8] recieving wifi from 192.168.2.8 and has got everything working. Firewall turned off.
- Sharing is turned on on the MacBook
- And is giving out the folowing IP:
- I checked in the Activity Monitor and 'bootpd' and 'named' are both running:
Now I go over to the PowerBook [10.4.11] which I can interact with, I see the Desktop on my MacBook.
- I have locations on automatic and I see that it is getting a 192.168.2.45 address:
- this is the Network window showing Ethernets TCP/IP settings:
But still no connection?
Now before I go futrther, I would like to have some feedback. Am I doing something wrong here? This is as I have done it numerous times before and it worked. The only thing I can think of is that in Brazil we were getting wifi from some giant media station and the guys entered some proxies in the Network pane, in my automatic location. But I have cleared all that. Is there a way to make sure everything is clean, like a reset sort of thing? Or is that overkill?
What is my next step into getting closer to a solution?
Adventurous greetings,
Coen

Can I connect my iBook via Airport/Ethernet to share internet?

I have a G5 iSight connected via Airport to the internet. I want to connect my G3 iBook via Ethernet to the G5 and connect to the web. When I opened Sharing on the G5 and started sharing my connection, it warned me that doing so might cause problems. And it was right. I lost the internet connection to the G5 and had to reboot the modem.
Before I rebooted, I opened up Network on the iBook and saw that Ethernet had an active internet address of something like 196.168.... with a "3" on the end -- the same sort of number as my G5 is assigned except that it has a "1" on the end (I think).
Is it possible to share my G5's internet connection with my iBook? How?

Thanks for the response, Camelot. It is still no go. This is what I did. For the G5:
1. +Network > Airport+ (under TCP/IP) gives the IP address as 192.168.1.1, and the router as 192.168.1.254.
2. In +Network > Built in Ethernet > TCP/IP+ I selected manually (for configure IPv4), then typed in 10.0.0.1 and the sub mask you suggested. The router I left blank.
3. I applied the above.
4. Under Sharing, I selected +Share your connection from: Airport+; +To computers using: built in Ethernet+.
5. When I selected Start I got the warning: +If your computer is connected to a network, turning on Internet sharing may affect the network settings of other computers and disrupt the network. Contact your system administrator before turning on Internet sharing.+
6. I booted the iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and opened Network preferences to see what happened when I connected the Ethernet cable. Under +Network Status+ I saw Ethernet come up with a yellow button (and a message), and then a green button with the message: +Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.2.3. You are connected to the internet via built in Ethernet.+
7. When I checked +Built in Ethernet > TCP/IP+ on the iBook it was set to DHCP.
8. The iBook would not connect to the internet, but the G5 would. At least that's an improvement.
Seems a curly one to me.

Is is possible to use a netgear wireless router to share a cable internet connection between an airport express and a Sony BD player?

Hi,
I have a couple of netgear wireless routers (WGR614, WPN824 v3) as well as a Belkin wireless router (F5D8233-4v3) lying around, and was wondering if it is possible to use any of these to share the internet feed from a cable modem to both an airport express and a Sony Blu-Ray Player? I connected the WPN824 router between the cable modem and the airport express but the airport express will only give an orange light then as if it does not have internet access. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Many thanks.

What you are basically attempting to do is extend the Belkin router with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) via a wireless connection between them. This method is known as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, WDS is not a standard and router manufacturers implemented, in most part, to only work with their products ... so it will be very unlikely that you can create a WDS between your Belkin and the AX. There have been a few Belkin model that have been updated by third-party firmware that support WDS, but the models you listed are not any of them.

How to share internet connection from cable modem through built-in airport on imac?

I have a cable modem with ethernet going into imac. How can I share the internet connection using the iMacs built in airport with other computers that have airport cards?
I would love to put an ethernet router between the imac and the modem and share the internet connection using the iMacs built in airport with other computers that have airport cards as well.
Thanks!

The setup I had working is what I have connected to the internet now. A cable modem with one ethernet jack that plugs into the iMac. The airport from the iMac broadcast to my G5 with an airport card in it and received the internet connection. The PC received it the same way from the iMac but to a Netgear wireless adapter.
I messed things up recently adding a wired 4 port ethernet router between the iMac and the modem, so that the modem ethernet plugged into the router, and from the router, plugged into the iMac which then could receive the internet but no more airport connections to my other machines. Haven't been able to get it working since.

Lose connection between computers on network through airport

Our connection between computers on network goes down every day or so. Connection to internet stays ok. We restablished computer connection by cycling airport extreme off and on again. Has been getting more frequent. Any suggestions or help? Faulty unit? Thanks.

As my magic crystal ball is on the shop for oil change, at the moment I'm not able to see your configuration or setup.
