Share Internet from Mac thru Ethernet to apple tv

Since the apple tv has no browser I can't login to the secure network at a condo. Best answer that makes sense is to use my laptop to connect thru wifi then use Ethernet to give Internet to the apple tv. I can't find the share on the apple laptop. Does any one know where the needle in the haystack to allow the share?

How to share internet from mac to windows

Any one helps me how to share internet from mac to windows? I have created an internet sharing on macbook, a Mac can connect to internet, but windows pc can't connect with this sharing. I don't know why?

I am not a Windows guru. However, in XP there is a Wireless Network icon at the lower right side. Click on that, select the network you want to join, insert the password and that's it. Any issues speak to a Windows guru.

Can't share Internet from Mac to AirPort Extreme via Thunderbolt Ethernet

Hey there!
I'm trying to essentially use a 2013 AirPort Extreme as an AP for the network. It's connected via WAN to a Mac via a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.
I'm having a hard time telling OS X (10.10)/ OS X Server that I want it to take the Internet from "iPhone USB" and share it with "Thunderbolt Ethernet". With or without OS X Server's DHCP/DNS "help". I've been experiencing issues with Internet Sharing for years on OS X, so the fact that I'm having an issue today is no surprise, I'm just hoping someone out there has a solution.
If I go back to Internet Sharing in System Preferences, the "share Internet connection from" combo box is blank, rather than showing "iPhone USB".
Also, I'm unsure as to whether I should be using OS X Server... I know it's not necessary for simple Internet connection sharing, but I'd like to use DHCP and DNS services with this setup at least eventually.... Obviously just getting Internet to the AirPort is first-priority.
Any ideas?

Hello Kevin,
Let me try to get this straight, it seems like you want to bridge the fee-based wifi network and your home wireless network using your MB.
I don't know if you have done the following steps already on your MB:
1) Choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
2) Select Internet Sharing.
3) Choose a network service from the “Share your connection from” pop-up menu, AirPort in your case.
4) Select a networking service to share your Internet connection from the “To computers using” list, ethernet in your case.
Sorry, yes indeed it is straight from Mac Help titled "Sharing your Internet connection." and it sounds like you have done the sharing part already. You wrote about something wrong with your MB. It might be helpful to write what is wrong with your MB, AirPort Extreme, or your "other computers." Preciseness can definably help us help you.
May you solve the problem.

Share internet from Ethernet port on Mac mini

After moving houses, I don't have any land line with internet. I have now got mobile internet from Vodafone connected to my Mac mini. This I share over the ethernet port and feed into my Airport extreme base station (AEBS) WAN port.
Also, my blackbook is connected to the AEBS via ethernet cable. Iphone and Ipad to be connected over WiFi.
Mobile internet > MacMini USB > MacMini shared ethernet > AEBS > Blacbook >> iPhone & iPad.
What is the best way to set up AEBS? To share a public internet address? As a brigde? To distribute a IP range?
And also what IP ranges AEBS would work on as default.
Also: the shared ethernet port on the Mini, should that be configured by DHCP or some other way. Now it says it has a self assigned IP and may not be able to connect.
I have tried a lot, but I am not a network savy person.
Any help and suggestions are welcome.

Share internet from Ethernet 2 to Ethernet 1

Hello,
My Mac Pro is connected to a router by its Ethernet 2 port; I want to connect another computer (Linux) to Ethernet 1 (so the Linux computer can connect to the Internet passing by the Mac Pro). I can easily share the connection from Ethernet 2 to AirPort (e.g. to synchronise my iPhone) using the Sharing pane of System Preferences, but sharing from Ethernet 2 to Ethernet 1 does not work.
I tried several configurations; sometimes I can just ping from the Linux computer to the Mac Pro (Ethernet 1 address only), sometimes I can ping up to my home's router and other times I can't ping at all. With all the configurations I tried, Internet can't be reached, even when I can ping the router.
Searched on various forums, found no help.
How should I go for this?

Grant Bennet-Alder wrote:
Your use of Ethernet 1 to be shared, and Ethernet 2 to connect your Mac to the Internet makes me crazy.
But they SHOULD be interchangeable, so you should be able to use either one for either function.
This evening, I got an “amusing” surprise, which tends to mean it makes me crazy as well. Another computer on my network, which is pluged into the main router, could not connect to the Internet. I then tried to go to 192.168.2.1 (my router's IP), to look at its state, and instead Safari showed the HTML page of my web sharing of my Mac Pro. My Mac Pro had been temporarily my DHCP server instead of the usual one because I confused Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2… Tired of trying too much, I guess.
So, well, I'll definitively use Ethernet 1 to connect to the Internet and Ethernet 2 to share it, so it's clearer.
When I think about WHY it might make me crazy, it reminds me of a fundamnetal rule: Your Mac will send packets bound for the Internet to the TOPMOST working interface listed in System preferences > Network. If you have not already demoted the port you intend to Share to the end of that list, you should do so now. Use the gear Icon.
In that list, Ethernet 2 seems to be the first one (unless it starts at end?). I have this, as it appears in the list of services:
Bluetooth PAN
DUN Bluetooth
AirPort
Ethernet 2
Ethernet 1
Firewire
I don't know what these Bluetooth have as differences, because I never used them. But it looks like Ethernet 2 is before Ethernet 1. Do you think I should put Ethernet 1 at the very top of the list (I don't recall why I put it in this order in the first place)?
If Ethernet 1 is the port being shared to the Linux machine, you do not configure it AT ALL. If you have changed its settings, set it back to DHCP.
Anything you change Manually will mess up Sharing. You may even want to delete that port and Restart your Mac to get all pre-conceived notions removed.
Ok, very nice to know, thank you!
So, now Ethernet 1 is connected to my home's Router and Ethernet 2 to the Linux computer. I did first set Ethernet 2 to DHCP, following your suggestion, but it assigned the 169 range of IP address; then I configured it as “DHCP with a manual address” (remember, I translate to English) and put 192.168.100.1 as the IP adress. From Linux (still using DHCP), I couldn't even ping 192.168.100.1.
Then, I chose to set 192.168.2.28 as Ethernet 2's IP (trying to put it in the same subnet as Ethernet 1). At that point, from the Linux box, I could connect to 192.168.2.28, 192.168.2.222 and even to my router (192.168.2.1), but pinging beyond the router (on the Internet) still fails and, of course, browsing doesn't work. But it's better.
I'd like to avoid restarting my Mac for now (I've a lot of applications open, in use). Is there anything else I should do now?
Thank you for your replies so far!

[Solved] Share internet from (laptop) wifi to (RaspberryPi) ethernet

Hi,
I've been attempting to share the internet from my laptop wifi connection to a raspberry pi (with arch) connected via an ethernet port.
For some reason, the Rpi doesn't connect. I've closely followed the instructions at:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_sharing
Yet the following script doesn't seem to work. The Rpi recognizes the the Ethernet connection but dhcpcd isn't dishing out an IP address. When I plug the Rpi into an ethernet port on my router it connects fine so as far as i'm understanding it should 'just work'.
#!/bin/bash
DEVICE="enp0s25"
ip link set $DEVICE down
ip link set $DEVICE up
ip addr add 192.168.123.1/24 dev $DEVICE
sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o internet0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i $DEVICE -o internet0 -j ACCEPT
dhcpcd $DEVICE
Any tips for getting to the bottom of the issue?
Tom

Success!! I'd mistakenly thought that dhcpcd acted as both client and server so that's where I went wrong. The following script now works using dhcpd. As a reference for others, here's my setup:
#!/bin/bash
DEVICE="enp0s25"
ROUTERIP=139.96.30.1 # 192.168.123.1
ip link set $DEVICE down
ip link set $DEVICE up
ip addr add $ROUTERIP/24 dev $DEVICE # arbitrary address
sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o internet0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i $DEVICE -o internet0 -j ACCEPT
#Config file: /etc/dhcpd.conf
#Database file: /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases # cat this to see if a device has been asigned a lease
#PID file: /var/run/dhcpd.pid
dhcpd $DEVICE
And /etc/dhcpd.conf contains:
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 139.96.30.100;
subnet 139.96.30.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 139.96.30.150 139.96.30.250;
Then to find out the IP address assigned to the Rpi, simply
cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
Thanks for the help

Cannot go to the Internet from Mac OSX, and Fedora Core 5

All Windows users (XP, 2000, Vista Beta) can connect to the Internet no problem on WRT54G with Firmware v4.20.6 (may 26, 2005). But odd enough, though getting the right DHCP assigned IP addresses and DNS server address, MacBook Pro (OS 10.4.1) and Fedora Core 5 cannot go to the internet at all using Safari and firefox browsers: the message keeps saying that your computer is not connected to the internet. Tested with BOTH wired and wireless connections, no luck to the internet. So, it's not about the wireless settings and setup. It doesn't work even if I directly connect the CAT5 cable to the router port.
Tested at wireless hotspots, at work where we have Cisco access points, and at a friend's place where there is netgear wireless router, MacBookPro is just working fine connected to the internet.
Any suggestions? Linksys doesn't support Mac and Linux PCs at all?

Thank you very much All (devildance, and Frank).
Seems like it is working fine now...
I reset the router as factory default, and reconfig the wireless setting(disable broadcasting SSID, configure TKIP PSK, and MAC filtering). Directly connected CAT5 cable from the router to my MacBookPro Windows XP. Working fine. Switched to Mac OSX, working fine. But, when I disconnected the LAN, and attempted to connect wireless, I couldn't go to the Internet using Safari and Firefox: keeps saying that your computer is not connected to the Internet.
Still could ping to 4.2.2.2 and 207.232.22.25, but getting errors "could not resolve the host name" when I pinged with the hostname bearshare.com.
Connected the wired CAT5. Working fine. Unplugged and used the wireless, could not get to the internet.
Checked the NICs settings on both LAN ethernet and wireless airport. All seems the same and correct: IP address, subnetmask and gateway address, and NO DNS entry. The same settings, but works on LAN cat5, and not works with wireless. So, for the sake of it, just manually added the DNS server IP addresses and domain names on wireless NIC. And Wala...it is working fine with wireless. Still strange the fact that Ethernet LAN NIC still doesn't have any DNS entries and working fine, but required DNS entries on wireless NIC.
For Fedora Core, could ping and resolve names without changing any settings. But when going to the Internet, got the error saying "comcast doesn't support this platform/OS" and another error "Welcome to Comcast High speed Internet....registration currently unavailable" when attempting to go any websites. Notieced that we pinging cnn.com, bearshare.com, or any websites, got ping reply from the same IP address which appears to be one of the comcast DNS server IP, 68.87.64.132.
So, I think it is a comcast issue not supporting Linux or something else which I would need to call to Comcast about...
But, thanks...looks like I can go to the Internet on Mac OSX, and Fedora core now with Linksys WRT54G. Thanks so much guys for all the suggestions....

[Solved] Share internet from Wlan0 to other computers

Is it possible to share internet connection from my laptop which is connected to internet through wlan0 interface (wireless) to other PCs on the LAN with my eth0 interface and lan cable?
(Like, Internet >> wireless Access-point >> laptop (wlan0) >> bridge to eth0 (lan card on this laptop) >> switch (through wired connection) >> other PCs)
and where can I find how?
Thanks

Can also be done with networkmanager if you don't want to get your hands dirty (and if you're using it anyway).
In summary:
Make sure dnsmasq and iptables are installed
Connect nm to wireless
Connect ethernet cable between computers
in nm-connection-editor, edit wired connection
Under ipv4 settings, choose method, shared to other computers
Disclaimer: This was when I was using fedora, but I have a hotspot the other way round on arch so I presume it will work.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139653
Actually I did that one first, saw that post, but couldn't succeed and then tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_Share and succeeded. So I needed to enable ipv4 forwards and also to install iptables (which should be running as a daemon). Can't judge what was wrong in your steps for sure but at least, as I said arch wiki gives a right direction to go.
Thanks all anyway.

TC to receive internet from Mac !

My Mac Mini is connected to the Internet through USB SIM Card router.
How can I configre the TC AirPort to do the following:
1) The TC to receive Internet via an Ethernet Cable from the Mac Mini?
2) Backup my Mac Mini via Ethernet Cable on the TC?
3) The TC to provide Internet Connection via an Ethernet Cable to my DVR?
Nothing seems to work as I keep getting all types of errors that I had to reset my TC to factory settings and delete my backups
I'd be very grateful if one can guide me through to accomplish all the above.
Thank you all in advance.
PS I don't have the latest vertical TC, I have the previous model.

what OS are you running on the Mac Mini??
Did your 1. work??
I would say that is the key to this. ICS for mac OSX will perhaps depend a bit on the version.
Just google for it.. but be warned it is not 100% and it fails fairly often.
http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/05/enable-internet-sharing-mac-os-x/
Once you actually get ICS (internet connection sharing) working on the Mac then you set up the TC in bridge mode.. remember the mini is now the main router of the network and the TC will be a dumb AP, switch and backup disk.
The TC should be able to connect to the DVR.. but it is the mini that does the routing.
It is hugely easier, better, superior, without doubt buy a proper wireless router. Do not use your mac as a router. It might do for the occasional desperate need but never use it for dedicated use that a $50 box can manage as it was designed to do.
You can then plug the TC into the computer and use it for backup or whatever.. wireless routers seldom come with ethernet but if you can find one then buy it.
You can also btw buy a router with USB and get a third party firmware to support it.. sometimes.
Anything but use the Mac.

Share Internet through Firewire to Ethernet?

Got a little problem for the 'collective'.
I have an 2011, 27" iMac, an Airport Extreme, and 2 Apple TVs. Upon moving to Italy I can no longer use Netflix through my wireless because "it's not available where I live" (Netfilx does not have a license to broadcast in Italy/Europe?).
What I want to do is use a VPN service (i.e. Hide My ***) to spoof Netflix into thinking I am stateside.
Can I run my internet off the back of my DSL Modem, through my iMac (and VPN) and then route the internet from the iMac firewire port (convert it to an ethernet connection) and into the Airport Extreme. I figure in this way I can spoof my wi-fi connection throughout my house and watch Netflix wherever I desire.
I'm thinking I will probably lose bandwidth routing my internet through the iMac, but I don't think it would be detrimental. Until Apple comes down on their prices to rent TV Shows and Movies this is the only logical way I can see around it.
Thanks!

What OSX version is it?
I've not been able to get Internet sharing working in 10.7 past 10.7.3, works fine in 10.8.2.
