Im trying to connect my Powermac G4 Mirror Drive to my ibook G4 and get internet to the Powermac. I got the internet on my ibook using Airport but i cant seem to get my Powermac to get the connection to the internet working through the Ibook. I did it with my old powermac but i cant seem to get it with this one.

Sharing an internet connection with Airport express and Time Capsule

Hi, I have been happily using a cable modem and a Time Capsule for my internet connection and wireless network. We recently added solar panels to our roof and the system needs to be connected to the internet so it can be monitored remotely. Calling Comcast is an exercise in frustration, and the solar people don't seem to know exactly how to do it, so I'm trying this.
We bought an Airport Express, thinking if it is connected with an ethernet cable to the solar system, it could somehow share the internet connection with the Time Capsule, or they could talk to each other. When I plug in the Airport Express, the only set-up option seems to be to set up a new network, which I don't think I want to do. Can anyone tell me how to set this up? Thank you!

Hi, Under Water.
You should configure the Express to "Join a wireless network" or to "Extend a wireless network". (Either one will work.)
Connect your computer to your Express via Ethernet and open AirPort Utility. Press "Manual Setup" and authenticate if necessary.
Go to the "Base Station" tab. Give the Express a name and password.
Go to the "Wireless" tab. Set the Wireless mode to "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network." Enter the name of the wireless network created by your Time Capsule (or select it from the list). Check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients" (if you're joining) or "Allow Wireless Clients" (if you're extending).
Provide the appropriate security mode and password for the Time Capsule's network.
Press "Update" and allow your Express to restart.
Then you can plug the solar system into the Express's Ethernet port.

Sharing DSL internet connection with WRT54G

I've recently changed from a cable to a DSL internet connection.
On cable I used a WRT54G router to share the connection to a laptop (via Wireless) and a desktop (via ethernet cable).
After instaling the DSL (modem and software) on the laptop, the conection doesn't work.
The set up for the linksys router was updated (changed to PPPoE, and informing the user id and password the provider gave me), via browser, and it is correct.
Now, I can only access the internet when the ethernet cable is connected straight from the DSL modem to the laptop.
If change the cable from the laptop to the linksys router and try accessing the router, it doesn't work, although the connection is indicated as active, and the laptop gets the ip I defined in the DHCP linksys router (192.168.1.100).
Under this scheme, it seems the laptop can't find, neither the linksys router, nor the DSL modem (modem model is Thomson Speed Touch 510 v6), and hence, the internet.
Due to that when I try accessing the Linksys configuration page (192.168.1.1) I receive a message that this page cannot be accessed offline and it's necessary to connect. I can't connect, cause the modem is not found in the net.
That should not happen, the page should be available offline, cause it's a connection that does not rely on an internet connection (the router is close to the laptop).
The same problem occurs with any web page I try to open/load: a message stated it can be accessed offline, and it's necessary to connect, but, again, I can't connect.
I tried using a cable between the laptop and the linksys router, but did not go any better.
Thx everyone

It is my understanding that the Thompson Speed Touch 510 V6 is an ADSL Gateway modem router. As such, at a minumum, it is probably doing your PPPoE login for you. If this is correct, then your Linksys should not be set to do a PPPoE login. When you used software to install your modem, didn't you have to enter your user id and password and have it loaded into the Thompson? If the Thompson has this info, the Linksys pobably does not need it.
You really need to talk to your DSL provider, or check their web site, to see what they suggest about setting up your system. At a minumum, you will need to know exactly what the Thompson is doing:
Is it doing your PPPoE login?
Is is acting as a DHCP server?
In the mean time, you might just want to try the following:
Try setting the router to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP"
If you are having trouble getting to the router setup page, do the following:
1) power down your modem, router, and computers, and unplug them from the wall.
2) disconnect all wires from the router.
3) connect one computer by wire to port 1 (not the internet port) on the router.
3) power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) power up the computer
5) open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1 This should open the router login window. Enter your user name (if any) and password. This should take you to your router's setup page.
If you get this far, set the router to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP", save the setting, then power down the router and your computer. Then reconnect modem-router-computer and try your setup again.
If any step fails, note the exact error message and the status of the lights on the router. Report back with your results. Also, it might help if we knew your DSL service provider.
Hope this helps.

Sharing internet connection with powerbook and nintendo wii through airport

i have been trying to share my internet connection from my imac to my powerbook and nintendo wii. i've been unable to accomplish neither. i've opened the sharing preferences, chosen "share your connection from built in ethernet" which is how my imac is connected to the internet, and then chosen "to computers using airport". if i then set my airport options to automatic channel, encryption using 40 bit wep and set a 5 character password as it says if you "plan to share your internet connection with non-apple computers", (and then turn internet sharing on) shouldn't i be able to connect either/both my powerbook and my nintendo wii? or is it necessary to have some other piece of hardware or go through some other steps?
thanks in advance for any help.

I got a macbook for college and I had the same problem with connecting my Wii to the macbook's connection. But lo and behold, the internet's a wonderful place! I tried this out (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070514152251515) and it worked! I'm not sure about the powerbook bit though, sorry. Hope it works for you too.

Sharing internet connection with a PC

Hi, I have a macbook with the latest OS X. I want to know if it is possible to share my PC's internet connection with my laptop, either through wifi, bluetooth, or firewire. I am running XP on the PC. I will not have a wireless network up, and I would like to have internet on both my mac and my pc. Is there a device that i can hook into my PC to broadcast a wifi network. It doesnt have to have a large range, I'll be using my laptop close to my desktop.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Really cool feature alert. Under System Preferences-->Sharing you can have your Mac share to any computer connected via Wi-fi, Firewire, or Ethernet. Whichever adapters are not used for the Internet connection are available.
It saved me lots of grief setting up some stubborn Windows boxen that only loaded the firewire driver as the OS was setup.

Sharing internet connection with xbox-Strict NAT

Im currently sharing my internet connection from my macbook to my xbox 360 via ethernet but for some reason my NAT is set to strict.
I have set up port forwarding on my router, but apparently have to set it up on the macbook too?
can anyone help me out with this?

Sharing internet connection with a Windows laptop

I'm using an older, 802.11b Airport (I think it is Snow) and have no problem connecting my MacBook Pro or my iMac. I've just bought a Gateway laptop running Windows Vista. I cannot connect to the internet on the new machine. I've turned off WEP through Airport Admin Utility. The Vista machine shows as connecting to the network but only with Local Access and is not able to connect to the internet. I took it to a local public hotspot and had no trouble connecting. What do I need to do to be able to share my internet connection with the new machine? Thanks for any help.
Michael

It's working. The problem was that windows left the field "gateway" on the wireless device properties blank. I just had to put 192.168.0.1 there to get it to work. Thanks for your help, tomk.

Sharing my internet connection TO an airport extreme? How can I do this..

Hi,
My Mac Pro is connected directly to my modem on Ethernet port 1 (Eth-1).
The connection is solid and my Mac Pro can browse the internet.
What I am now trying to accomplish is to share my internet connection with my family who is using an Airport Extreme Base Station.
My setup is as follows:
Modem --> Mac Pro on Ethernet 01.
Inet Sharing on Mac Pro via build-in airport card == Wifi, works.
Inet Sharing on Mac Pro via Ethernet 02 --> AEBS WAN Port == Wifi & cabled connections do not work.
How can I get my AEBS to accept this shared connection, using this shared connection as the source for the internet that is being shared from the AEBS to both, Wifi and Cable, connected clients?
The reason for this setup is that normally my family has their own modem & isp which connects to the AEBS but the modem has broken and it will be a week until the replacement arrives so I need to share my connection with them until then.
The distance between my shared wifi and their AEBS is too far, which is why only having the working wifi is not good enough.
Any help would be much appreciated as I have spend the last 2 hours trying all kinds of configurations to no avail.
Thanks for reading,
Jannis

Hi,
I currenly have a DSL modem that is a router as well and is WiFi able.
This gives me one LAN with no subnets as there is no other routing device.
Previously I had DSL modem that did DHCP (Issued IPs) but did not do WiFi so I had a Wifi Router, which also did DHCP by default. This is two overlapping subnets (modem > Router > Computers(s) AND Router > Computer)
Because the WiFi router is effectively fairly dumb it passes on any routing info from the modem.
This means the computer(s) get two IPs although System Preferences > Network can only show one.
What I did was set the DSL Modem to not do DHCP.
The Router then needs the IP of the Modem (Gateway), the DNS servers, the Subnet Mask entered in the boxes that usually appear for Static Routing. You also need to tell the Router to use on IP that is in the range the Modem is using.
This stops the overlapping subnets and makes the LAN more Linear.
Modem > router followed by Router to Computers(s)
Now your Mac Pro is taking the place of a Router and arguably a WiFi Base Station.
Re 1)
If Internet Sharing is set to do Ethernet (from Modem to Mac Pro) to Wifi I can't see that it can be set to do Ethernet (1 as you call it) to Ethernet (2) to get to the Airport Base Station.
I take it the Airport Base Station cannot "See" the Mac Pro's Wifi ?
Ideally it should be set to Bridge (Off) Mode - Not doing DHCP) so that it extends the range of the Mac Pro's WiFi network.
Re 2)
If the Base Station was in Bridge Mode then all the other house's computers would get IPs from the Mac Pro's subnet.
If it is Sharing an IP then they get their own Subnet from the Base Station.
Depending on what range the Mac Pro Uses and the Base Station is set to, you may get conflicting IP addresses.
To a certain extent Subnets can be useful as long as they are separated properly and Linear.
Consider it this way.
The Postal Service uses House numbers and street names in overlapping subnets to deliver mail.
The White House (as computer) is in Washington (router) which is in the USA
Now think of a house on a corner plot. Before city planners or postal service gets their hands on it it possibly could be considered to be house 30 Main Street as well as house 1 Side Avenue. Technically a letter could be addressed to either 1, Side Ave or 30, Main Street, Imaginary Little Town.
On the other hand the upstairs of you house is part of that house (in the same LAN) However it can only be accessed by the stairs (Separate, linear Subnet).
Certain apps can deal with/ignore overlapping subnets but others need the set up to be more linear. (iChat and other IM apps are one sort)
I hope this helps some more.

How to share internet connection with KDE networkmanager applet

I mainly use wireless around my house and like to use one computer to share it's wireless to another when installing Arch, until I can get KDE and networkmanager installed so I can easily connect to the wireless. I've always been able to easily share internet connections with Ubuntu, but when I try it with Arch, with Gnome OR KDE (and their respective applets), It just doesn't work.
Is there some library or backend I need to install to make ICS work?
Thanks!
Last edited by MetaMan (2011-09-10 22:12:26)

If this helps at all, here is what I am currently trying: I open up the network settings KDE Control Module, select "Wired", select the device (eth0) and click edit, and under the "IPv4 Address" tab selecting "Shared" from the "Method" drop-down.
Also, to make it clearer, I am trying to share wlan0(on device 1) through eth0 to eth0 on device 2. Also, device 2 is running the Arch setup and I am telling it to connect to eth0 via DHCP after I select the remote mirror to use. I have managed to do this before when device 1 ran Ubuntu.
I've searched Google, the forums, read the wiki pages for KDE and networkmanager, and can't seem to find a mention of internet connection sharing (pertaining to my usage case; the forums have some posts of people trying to use their computer to broadcast eth0, I'm trying to do the opposite) anywhere on them. In fact, I'll gladly write the section myself if I figure this problem out.
Hope this extra information helps!

Sharing Airport Internet connection Over Ethernet

Hi
I've read various things about this on the forums here, but none of them seem to make a considerable amount of sense seeing as the person just magically works out the problem. So I'll attempt to describe my problem.
I'm trying to share my Intel iMac's Airport connection to another mac running 10.4.6 over ethernet. I'm using crossover cable, and so far I've got the two computers to recognise each other in Network tab of the Finder, so I can mount the other's HD on my desktop if i wanted. BUT, I am having no luck with sharing my internet connection, I have the 'Share my Airport connection over Ethernet' settings ticked in System Preferences on the iMac with airport, but the "light" on the network overview page is orange on both computers, and the one connected with ethernet does not connect to the internet.
Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks a lot
Mo

You are sharing one connection from the main unit to a secondary unit. The secondary unit only has access through the main unit, so the system doesn't see a personal web connection, just a web connection. In order to share that connection, it must be seen as a "personal" or directly connected form of network. This is so that somebody can't just steal your connection and then filter it to a billion computers and hack you and really mess up your system. If you want to share that connection, I suggest you invest in a wireless router. Then you can share all peripherals from the main unit and other units in any configuration you wish, and then use your secondary(wireless) unit to share directly to the third unit(crossover cable) without having to set a bunch of manual controls and troubleshoot. Printers, some scanners, and sometimes even dvd burners can be shared across a router. And because the system reads two connections(comp-to-comp and comp-to-web) through the router, you can actually fully network all peripherals to work across each unit, so long as they all run the same versions of OS and software. Just remember, you get what you pay for with routers. $100-$200 should get you something decent and a USB speed-booster card wouldn't hurt if you can get it as part of the whole router package. I've used the same type of configuration and it has saved me days, even weeks of trying to move data onto cds and dvds to move between computers for using with different programs and tasks.
good luck

I want to share my internet connection with my iPhone via the usb cable. I have a Macbook pro. What do you think? Is this possible? And if yes, then how? Thanks!

If not why option available
Thanks!

What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
Best of luck.

I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

My 2007 mac pro has a slow internet connection with lion

Hi:
I've been dealing with a severely slow internet connection with my 2007 mac pro - dual quad core. I have os 10.7.3. I use wifi.
Typically, I'll experience difficulty loading websites completely. Certain sites have a 90% failure rate to load most elements. Other sites operate quickly from time to time. Often, a site will simply fail to load at all. My cable company cannot find anything wrong with my connection and other, newer devices don't have a problem loading sites. It seems the issue is most likely related to my computer.
Interestingly, I can usually "jump-start" the connection by turning my wifi connection off and on and this will (temporarily) allow me to get an image or video to download.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time.

Using time capsule to share internet connection with a pc via ethernet

Hi,
I've recently acquired a time capsule and was wondering if i could use it to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet to my non-wireless (windows 7) pc?
My current situation is that i have a wireless modem/router that shares my internet connection wirelessly with my mac mini.
I have a pc without a wireless card that i want to connect to the wireless network so i was wondering if it was possible to attach the pc and the time capsule with an ethernet cable, then connect the time capsule to the wireless network and share the internet connection with the pc.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so how?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussion area!
IF...your wireless network is now being created by another Apple "n" router like an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule, it would be possible to do what you want to do.
But the Time Capsule would not be compatible for what you want if your wireless is created by another manufacturer's router. The Time Capsule could "join" this wireless network so that backups would occur over wireless. However, when the Time Capsule is configured this way, the ethernet ports on the device are not active, so this would not help with the ethernet connection that your computer needs.
A new AirPort Express 802.11n would do what you want. It has the capability of joining virtually any wireless network and the ethernet port can be enabled using the ProxySTA feature, so it would work for your purpose.
