Sharing 802.1x wifi connection via ethernet (to PS3 for example) - workarounds?

The situation is this: my university network is 802.1x wireless, and I need to share the connection over Ethernet to a device that isn't compatible with 802.1x wireless. When I try to do this, Mavericks comes up with a message saying:
Your Internet connection cannot be shared because it is protected by 802.1X.
Now, the workaround that the IT dept has given me is this:
Open apple script editor and paste everything between the lines below into a new file:
===================================================================
try
do shell script "sudo /usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1" with administrator privileges
do shell script "sudo /usr/sbin/natd -interface en1 -dynamic" with administrator privileges
do shell script "sudo /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via en1" with administrator privileges
end try
===================================================================
Click on the compile button to make sure there are no errors. Then click on File and Export. Change the File Format to Application. Then click save.
Run the file you have just saved by double clicking on it. You will be prompted for your Mac username and password.
It's not working however. Any thoughts? Anything that I could change?

Thanks for the video, definitely helpful. I followed the steps exactly, but I can only get to the "Test Internet" connection section and it fails.
The Xbox passes the Network section of the test, but the test fails after that.

  • Connect via ethernet but wireless for internet

    I don't know why, but my apple tv seems to have forgotten how to connect to the internet and I can't make it remember, lol. Now I will stress, this used to work, and I don't know why it suddenly doesn't work anymore...
    Basically I have wireless set up at home for the internet. However, I connect to my apple tv via direct ethernet cable between my imac and the apple tv itself. I have set up internet sharing in preferences to share my airport connection over ethernet, which my apple tv used to be able to use ok to connect to the itunes store/you tube, etc. However, it now can't. I had some trouble with it this morning where it wouldn't connect to the ethernet network at all, although it now does. However, it no longer uses the iMac as it's router and I can't seem to figure out why. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

  • Help, I cannot connect to the internet via airport with either my Imac or I-Pad.  Connecting via ethernet works okay for Imac.  I can connect wirelesssly with my windows laptop.  I have reset my router, created a new network. It was all okay on Monday

    Normally I have my IMac, I-Pad and Windows Laptop all working on my home network via wi-fi. This week I find that I cannot access the inetrnet on my IMac or I-pad via wi-fi but I can connect to the internet via wi-fi with my windows based laptop.
    The airport diagnostics (reds/yellows) indcate that I am connected
    I can access the internet if I plug my IMac into the router via an ethernet cable
    I have restarted the IMac and the I-Pad, rebooted the router and created a new network.  None of these changes has made a difference.  Does anyone have any ideas please?

  • Can multiple Airport Expresses be connected via ethernet to an Airport Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?

    I am a big fan of both the Airport Extreme and Airport Express.  In my work environment, I need to create a good quality single wireless network around 2 large aircraft hangars and some offices at the perimeters.  We have a good quality wired Cat5e ethernet network extended between the buildings and offices now.  Is this possible and does it seem like a good practical solution?  I think that 4 or 5 Airport expresses would easily provide good wireless coverage in the needed areas. 

    Can multiple AirPort Expresses be connected via ethernet to an AirPort Extreme to extend a single WiFi Network?
    Yes, this will work just fine as long as any individual Ethernet cable run will not exceed much over 330 feet or about 100 meters.

  • HT4356 Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?

    Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?
    or must the printer I want to use also have a wifi connection ?
    I have a home network using ethernet connected devices to a router, also attached to th erouter is a WiFi unit. We are using the WiFi unit to connect to the network and hence to the big wide WWW.  We now want to print from our IPads pereferable to our netowk connected HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a series. (not the wireless model).
    I was using the HP ePrint app to print from the Ipad, but I do not fully understand how this works. It seems that you must use the app to do the printing which is fine for basic email and photos, but I can not access the drawing package I have, and want to print from it. Please what is it that I do not understand.

    You must use an airprint printer directly connected to wifi through it's own wifi card.

  • Connecting via ethernet ports on an AEBS that is extending a wifi network

    I tried to get this out on the subject heading (trust me guys I searched the forums first but I couldn't quite find this issue)...
    I have a Airport Express connected via ethernet to a network. I am trying to use an AEBS to capture that connection and then share it via ethernet ports (LAN?) to a PC that has no wifi card.
    I setup the AEBS to extend the existing airport express wifi and that worked fine and I can connect to it fine via wifi on my laptop. But the pc that is plugged into the AEBS via ethernet is not able to connect.
    Thoughts?

    In order to enable the Ethernet ports on the 4G Extreme for the Mac Pro, both AirPorts need to be configured for an extended network. Please read through the steps provided in the link to see if you may have missed any steps.

  • APE only works when connected via ethernet

    I have a new AirPort Extreme that I am trying to add to my existing network (an older APE base station and 2 Express) and no matter how I try to configure it, I can't get it to work without being connected with an ethernet cable (either to my MacBook Pro or to the other APE base station).
    I also tried setting it up on its own with a new network and that wouldn't work either.
    If it isn't plugged in, and I try to change the configuration, i get this error:
    "AIRPORT UTILITY WAS UNABLE TO FIND YOUR BASE STATION AFTER RESTARTING.
    The settings for this base station have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the base station. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
    The amber light flashes, and it never shows up again. It doesn't matter if i unplug the APE, turn AirPort off and on, restart the utility, restart my mac... it won't ever show up unless I connect via ethernet, but as soon as i connect the ethernet cable, everything works fine.
    Does this mean that there is something wrong with the APE, or is there something I'm doing wrong with my setup (I've tried the assisted setup and manual setup following the instructions in the "Designing Air Port Extreme 802.11n Networks" pdf)?

    Yes. It's just the one APE that is a problem. The rest of the network is fine.
    If I connect the new APE to the older APE with an ethernet cable, I can see it in AirPort utility and use AirPort Disks connected to it, too; but as soon as I unplug the ethernet cable, it can't get back on to the network and it no longer shows up in AirPort utility.

  • Powerbook G4 can't connect via ethernet but connects via airport

    We have a small office network connected to an Efficient Networks DSL router that's managed by our isp. The router has 4 ports and a linksys 8 port switch is connected to one of those ports. Another D-Link wireless router/switch is connected to another port.
    2 i-macs connect without problem via ethernet cable. They are set to DHCP and get 192.xx private addresses. Both run 10.4.5. Another older imac running 9.2.2. also has no problems.
    I recently purchased a powerbook G4 and it will not connect via ethernet to the Efficient networks router. At first it was connected to the linksys, so decided to connect it direct to the Efficient Networks router. With DHCP, it acquires a 169. internet address which is self generated (i.e. no real connection). I tried to give it a static private address (talking to the isp provider). They could see the powerbook but saw all zero's (presumable mac address). By the way the Powerbook works perfectly at home connected via ethernet cable to a D-Link router connected to a cable modem so it's not a physical problem. I even checked the ethernet cable I used in the office with another computer - no problem.
    When I switch to airport in the office, the powerbook connects to the network and the internet. I get some strange warning messages showing the server's and the router's private ip addresses. I click ok, and the powerbook finds an unassigned private ip address. It's the only way it will work, but it causes problems, because I can't connect to one of the network printers. Speed also isn't great.
    Can anyone give me advise how to proceed. I am no expert on this stuff so keep it as simple as possible.
    Tks

    Tim,
    Thanks for your help. Here's what I've done before reading your e-mail. The D-Link DI-524 wireless router is connected to the Effiicent Neworks DSL router as you mentioned. One ethernet port of the EFF.Net. router is connected to the WAN port of the DI-514.
    Because I have a D-Link router at home which works flawlessly with my powerbook, I decided to connect the ethernet cable of the powerbook to the D-Link which has 4 ethernet ports. Lo and behold, the powerbook acquired a private ip address and connected to the LAN and internet!
    When I connected the powerbook direct to the Efficient Networks router, it could not communicate. I believe that there must be some software incompatibility between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router. By connecting to the D-Link, the D-Link assigned an ip address to the powerbook, and it could connect to the server, lan, etc..
    Only problem is that I have a Brother network printer that cannot connect to the powerbook. My powerbook cannot find it on the network. Because there is a linksys switch connected to the efficient networks router's third ethernet port, maybe as you said, going through the D-Link via DHCP (when the Linksys is also acting as a DHCP server, might cause this type of problem. What do you think?
    As a final note, other imac G5's connected to the linksys switch (which then connects to the Efficient Network's router) have no problem connecting to the lan or internet and have no problem connecting to any of the printers. When I put the powerbook on that switch, I could not connect to the internet - i.e. whether connecting via the lynksys switch or direct with the efficient networks router - same results: no internet connection whether manually or via DHCP.
    So the imac G5 has no problem with the efficient networks router but the powerbook G4 hits a brick wall. The G4 likes the D-Link router. I am concerned (and I will have to check this) that if I turn off the dhcp server feature from the D-Link, that whatever software issue crops up between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router, will rise up again, because the D-Link will act like a simple switch (just like my linksys switch), and we'll be back to square zero. In any case, no harm in trying. This may be the cause of the Powerbook not seeing that Brother printer (even though it sees another printer and other macs).
    Having spent hours reading about network problems, I think it's safe to say that macs have problems with certain routers. Why a G5 works and a powerbook G4 doesn't is beyond me, but clearly software must play a role.

    I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.
    Excellent plan.
    Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
    Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
    This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

  • HT2497 I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable.  The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning

    I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable.  The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning great.  The network name I assigned to the TC is also not appearing among available networks.  How do I remedy this, please?

    What OS on the computer you are using to setup the TC?
    Did you turn on ipv6 for wireless to link-local... this is essential for network access now??
    Try power cycling the network.. start up in correct order.. uverse.. 2min wait.. TC.. 2min wait.. computer.
    No luck factory reset and start over. Use ethernet cable as well to the computer to help it.
    No luck I can show you manual method.

  • I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I am trying to get connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer.

    I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I use for my work and I have had this printer for ever and it is one heck of a work horse! I am trying to get it connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer. I have tried to reconfigure the printer using the JetDirect menu giving it a new IP address but still no luck. If anyone could help me through this issue I would appreciate it.

    After step six? Seven?
    After the connection has failed?
    Is this the FInder window that shows the icon of the computer you want to copy the file from?

  • IBook G4 Can't connect via Ethernet?

    While we were away lightning took out several devices. Among them was the Airport Extreme Base Station and the cable modem. The modem has been replaced. I have an iMacG5 and an iBookG4 both running 10.4.11. The iMac can establish a connection via Ethernet (all this happened yesterday so I have yet to replace the Airport). The laptop apparently won't accept an IP address from the router/modem and won't connect to the internet.
    I did see a message saying that my network settings had been changed by another application but don't know if this figures in the mix.
    Anyone have any ideas how I ought to approach getting the iBook back online?

    I think you ran across the security update bug in 10.4.11 the deals with an ethernet connection. Here is the workaround:
