Share Internet with MBP AirPort

How i can share my Internet Connection (PPTP), if I use Time Capsule and rise VPN connection with my MBP over WiFi. I want to share this connection with my other devices =)
iPod Touch -> WiFi -> MBP (VPN) -> WiFi -> TimeCapsule -> Ethernet -> Provider

Assuming you got to the very long thread, there does not seem to be an easy answer, as people have experienced different problems with different set ups, but there is a bug (or several) to do with this.
Try the option of deleting plists, but even before that, I seem to have solved it for the moment by selecting the Join other network from the drop down menu when you click the airport icon on the menu bar at the top of the screen, then enter the details of the wireless network. Why going in this way should work while other slightly different methods don't it beyond me (and Apple it would seem, for the time being).
Good luck.

  • Why my iPhone 3GS can't share internet with another iPod, iPhone or iPad with iOS 6.x?

    Hi.
    I am from Mexico, sorry from my 'english'.
    I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 6.1.3, i can share internet with USB and Bluetooth.
    It's ok, but when want share, my iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 doesn't detect the 3GS, and vice versa.
    When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Fourth Generation with iOS 6.1.5, i can't too, they doesn't detect too.
    When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Fifth Generation with iOS 7.0.4, it works!!
    When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Third Generation with iOS 5.1.1, it works!!
    ¿What can i do? I can't connect with Bluetooth with whatever terminal with iOS 6.x.x

    Your best bet is to switch phones with your carrier and get your 4S on the data account.
    Otherwise, try resoring the iOS in your iPhone 3GS via iTunes.

  • Can I share internet from a airport express via the ethernet port

    I have a older airport express that I am trying to you to share the internet with a Marantz AV receiver. I used to be able to share the internet to a PS2 a few years back.
    I was able to set up another network parallel to my normal wireless network with an older moonbase style airport extreme using WDS.
    I am unsure if this is the limitation that apple has introduced to the unit, or it is a Telstra firewall issue.
    Is it possible using a combination of Airport Etremes or expresses to share the internet to a wired unit?

    I have a new airport extreme that I use all the time. I was using the older airport express for airplay.
    The older airport extreme I just pulled down from the cupboard trying to get the AVR connected.
    Since posting I have able to use the Airport extreme to connect the AVR via the ethernet port.
    Still curious why I cannot connect using the airport express.
    Interestingly the older airport extreme pushed the new airport extreme into WDS mode. Tried to hook up the express and it did not work.

  • Getting bars but no internet with new airport extreme

    HI,
    I purchased a new AEBS for my restaurant. I set it up and it worked great. My Powerbook g4 was connecting and I was getting internet fine. The next time I went to the restaurant and opened my Powerbook I was getting airport bars but was unable to connect. My son has a Powerbook as well and he is connecting just fine. Several customers came in with Macs and they were also unable to connect. I know I'm getting internet from the modem. I've tried unplugging both the modem and AEBS and then reconnecting with no resolution. I've tried to re-set up the AEBS but it says it is not getting the IP address. I'm about to throw out the AEBS and go get a Linksys!
    I've read other posts of folks with this same problem and one of the solutions is to roll back to a previous firmware version. How is that done?
    Powerbook G4 aluminum, 1.25ghz
    Thanks for any help

    I have no problem gettiing the Macbook pro to set itself up on the Airport Network. I can NOT, though, access the internet. I even tried to type in the IP address for the DSL modem while connected to Airport base and can not connect to modem. Does anyone have any advice? Is there a bridging function in the Airport Base that has to be activated?
    Make sure you perform a complete power recycle when switching network components.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL modem & AEBS. (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    If that doesn't resolve the problem, and your DSL ISP requires PPPoE for connectivity, you will need to set that up on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as follows:
    Connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, check these settings:
    Internet tab
    - Connect Using: PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
    - Account Name: <ISP account name>
    - Change password: <ISP password>
    - Always stay connected (checked)
    - WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
    No, the AEBS will no longer be required.

  • IMac can not share internet with new MBP

    I just purchased a 13" MBP(10.5.7)and wanted to update software, register, etc. I'm trying to share the internet from my G5 iMac(10.5.7). With airport turned on,I've turned on internet sharing from ethernet to airport on the imac but the Radar icon does not display the "arrow" to show that the iMac is acting like a base station. The firewall setting in the security pref. is set to allow all incoming connections. i keep trying different combinations of settings but the only change is a light gray "monitor" icon on the airport radar in the tool bar. ( and I can't seem to repeat that)The new MBP sees the iMac in the airport drop down menue but does not connect, it says it needs a password but none was established on the imac. When opening safari is says not connected to internet. I've read many post regarding sharing but I must admit I'm confused. I thought this was supposed to be simple.
    Thanks for any responses

    I have done those things. I tried the same with an older ibook and three clicks and the airport icon showed an arrow (signaling it now is a base station) no problem but not on either of the leopard machines. is there a problem with sharing using leopard?
    When I set the imac to share the ethernet connection and choose by airport the red Button changes to green. the preference window says "sharing your ethernet connection" but no change at the icon on the upper right menu bar. (I've always thought it changes to an arrow over the "radar" icon) if I close the sharing window and then reopen it or turn the airport on/off the internet sharing box becomes unchecked and sharing is turned off. I can't seem to get the radar icon to change and the sharing settings to stay "set".

  • Can't share internet with iPhone4 via Airport with MacBook Pro on Ethernet

    I'm in Iraq being abused by a criminal ISP offering 256K (yes, kilobytes per second!) connectivity via a cat IV ethernet cable to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.9). I have a first-gen iPhone4 (16G, version 4.2.1), it will not connect to the internet via airport to my MacBook.  I'm getting a good wi-fi symbol on my iPhone, the Airport is correctly finding my MacBook's network, and it properly demands/accepts my WEP password.  But I cannot get mail, go on line or use any apps. 
    Under the DHCP tab on my MacBook's network on the iPhone's Settings/Wi-Fi page...I have a good IP Address and Subnet Mask.  Previously I've also had numbers show up on the Router and DNS lines as well...but they are now blank.  I have never had numbers on the Search Domains or Client ID lines.
    Can anyone tell me what's missing to get my internet sharing working?
    Thanks!

    OK, on your iPhone you have four fields that need to completed for any type of WiFi networking to operate.  The fields are (in order) the IP address of your device, the subnet mask for your network, the "router" IP address, and finally the DNS addresses.
    I'm not sure what these numbers look like on an ad hoc network, but a typical router based network would look like: 
    Device IP:  192.168.1.x with x being between 2 and 255
    Subnet mask:  255.255.255.0
    "Router IP":  192.168.1.1
    DNS:  usually a pair of IP address separated by a comma.  Sometimes this is supplied by the network you are conneccted to, other times you specify an address (like OpenDNS or Google's DNS service)
    If your phone has an IP address of 169.x.x.x, it means that your ad hoc network is not supplying it with an IP address.  Make sure that the DHCP box is checked (the ad hoc network will assign an IP address) or manually assign IP address.
    To be honest with you, I'd go out and buy a basic N router (about $40 US), plug it in to your ethernet connection, and connect your devices to that.  You get far better security as the router has a firewall and you can use WPA2-AES encryption on the wireless side - and it is easier to set up.

  • Issues Connecting to internet with new Airport Express

    Running a Macbook pro 15" - 10.4.11
    I just bought a brand new Airport Express a few days ago. I just recently got my internet service through Comcast restored and am eager to get a wireless network up so I can play Xbox Live again.
    So issue is this: I plug the ethernet cable from the Cable modem into the airport, the light goes green. The computer is registering a strong signal, Network preferences says Airport is connected to my network. However, Safari keeps saying its not connected to the internet. When i run system diagnostics, I get a green light on Airport, Network settings, system settings, and ISP. But the light on Internet and Server stay red, and Diagnostics says it can't fix the problem and I need to contact my ISP. Comcast said they couldn't help, my connection was fine and they even refreshed it to no avail. When I plug my Ethernet cable directly into my Macbook pro, I get on the 'net no problem. I'm dumbfounded.
    I'd appreciate any sage wisdom offered. Thanks!
    p.s: Also, when I run a connection test on Xbox 360, it picks up my network, connects quickly, ISP confirms, but ultimately fails at DNS Server. Hmm.

    bl4ckr4bbit, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Most cable modems require that you power them off when you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. Until you reset the modem it will not communicate with the new device. When the modem is powered on it detects the new device and starts talking to it.
    Some cable modems have a reset button on the back for this reset.
    Some cable modems have a small internal battery which must be removed for this reset to occur.
    Sometimes the cable modems must be unplugged several hours or even overnight to allow equipment back at the ISP to reset.
    Did you power off the cable modem when switching the Ethernet connection?

  • Can't connect to wireless internet with my airport extreme card.

    hello, i need some help connecting to our wireless router. i do not have an airport base station, i am trying to connect to a third-party, secure wireless network. anyway, i've called apple, i've called linksys (the router company), and i am still using hardwire connected to the router. whenever i click the airport icon on the top taskbar, no networks show up. i have had my pc laptop in the same room as my iMac G5, and the laptop can autmatically connect to the network, but my iMac cannot. i am running out of options. i connect with a secure, wireless internet. its wep, whatever that means, and i've tried my user name and passcode numerous times, but to no avail. what do i do????

    thanks for your help, but sadly this did not work. even when i click the wireless airport icon on the top taskbar, no networks show up on the pull down menu. the only option i have is 'other.' shouldn't my secured network at least show up in the pull down menu, to which i provide the password?
    is there any way to get this extreme card to work? has anyone else had this same problem with their iMac G5? this is ridiculous, thanks.

  • Share internet with a neighbour (2 wireless routers with switch?)

    Hi All,
    I want to ask for your help, if there are better options for sharing Internet:
    Today:
    The Internet is today shared like this: cable->modem->1. WRT320N router-> 2. WRT320N router (LAN port to LAN port).
    It is working pretty OK but as the first router (connected to the Internet) is not in my house I can not restart it if needed (my neighbour is not always at home...)
    Preferred solution
    I want to connect both routers to the internet separately, means both routers are connected direct to the Internet and not thru each other.
    Solution?
    My idea is to connect the Internet to a switch and connect the two routers directly to the switch. In this case I guess the routers are directly connected to the Internet, or?
    Should I use the LAN to LAN ports in this case as well or LAN to WAN?
    The routers should also in this case have 2 different IP adresses?
    Can DHCP be enabled on both routers?
    Can I use ALL functions on both routers?
    Thanks if you share your ideas.
    Regs,
    ZZs

    Whether this works or not depends on your ISP. Most ISP only allow you to have a single active internet connection through a single modem/line. Thus, before you try this I would check with your ISP how many devices you are allowed to connect directly to the internet connection. If it's only one then you have to buy another internet contract for the second connection.
    If you ISP allows this the basic setup would be:
    1. modem connects to ethernet switch.
    2. WAN ports of both routers connect to the ethernet switch.
    Each router will have a different public IP address and are configured the same on the internet connection (i.e. probably DHCP). You enable the DHCP server on both routers. You can use all internet related functions on both routers (e.g. access restrictions, ddns, etc.).

  • Trying to share internet connection using Airport Express

    I have an internet connection via a Verizon Wireless broadband card in the Express Card slot in my MacBookPro. I share this connection to my iMac via Airport and I have an Airport Express card connected to a printer & stereo. However, when I establish the Airport internet connection (internet sharing in System prefrences) it establishes a wireless network in the MacBook (I think) as evedinced by the Airport signal (fan) logo changing to a vertical arrow. This precludes connecting to the Airport Express (the Airport Express network is not shown in the Airport pull down menu, only the MacBook network). My question is: can I somehow share the internet connection using the Airport Express network???

    ejagnut, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network created by your MacBook Pro. The directions can be found in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Unabl eto share Internet connection through Airport

    I have a new Samsung wave S8500. I'm trying to access the internet connection shared by my mac on the airport, everytime i try to connect to my mac through the Wi-Fi on my phone, it doesn't connect. I put a 40 bit WEP Key length on the sharing options. The airport can connect to my other phone which is a Nokia N97, the Samsung is able to connect directly to my friends Router(wi fi) and I'm able to use the net. I'm unable to pin point where the issue is.

    First, before I get into too much detail: Is it even possible to set up a WPA2 network directly from the iMac without a separate router?
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Despite the fact that WPA2 encryption has existed for years, Apple hasn't seen fit to include that option in its "Internet sharing" feature.

  • Can my iMac share Internet with access for Apple Mail client?

    I'm sharing my internet connection from my iMac over the Airport card to my MacBook. The iMac is connected via ethernet to my cable modem. Everything works great, except my MacBook cannot access my .mac mail from Apple Mail (Safari web access works great). Are there additional services I need to open on my iMac for this to work?
    Thanks for any assistance!

    In the Sharing pane of System Preferences, open ports 25 and 110 for outbound and inbound mail access respectively. If it still doesn't work, open port 443 as well. To open a port, click on the Firewall tab, followed by the New button. Choose Other from the drop-down menu at the top, enter the numbers 25 and 110 in the TCP port text field, and click OK.
