Sharing internet from macbook pr

I have a sprint wireless card for my internet connected to the express slot in my MBP. Previously, I turned on internet sharing in the system preferences and shared from my express card to ethernet. The ethernet would connect to the wan port on the AEBS. I would set up the base station just like as if it were connected to a modem from an ISP. it was set to share a single ip address. The only thing I would have to do is ignore "double nat". Now, with the time capsule, no matter how I try and configure it, I can not get it to share the connection from my MBP to my pc or apple tvs. I have the new update and still does not work.

When you enable Internet Sharing, the Mac doing the Sharing activates a simple Router in software and provides IP Addresses via DHCP.
It is simple, but elegant, and in typical Apple fashion, "it just works".

  • When sharing internet from macbook air, my phone connects to the internet but my Air cannot.

    When trying to share internet to my phone from my macbook air on 10.9.4, my phone will be able to connect to the internet but my laptop won't be. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Please let me know if I need to provide any more information. Thanks!

    Try resetting your SMC.
    Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: This will not delete any data.
    The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
    Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.

  • TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

    How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
    i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
    the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
    the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
    but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
    And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
    can some one help me please??
    this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

  • HT5922 Volume control Itunes Shared Library from Macbook air played through iPad

    Hi everyone,
    I am using iPad Air to airplay through use of iTunes shared library from Macbook, to Play to my Apple TV using the Remote App from apple on the iPad.
    I noticed that the swipe up control screen volume control does not affect the volume on my speakers of the Denon which is perfectly connected with apple tv. The only thing which controls the volume is the Denon volume control.
    The iTunes  volume control on the Macbook also do not work with Apple TV when airplaying
    I assume this is because of the Denon Reciever, but would like to hear if others who are connecting directly without a multimedia amplifier and speakers are also unable to raise volume using itunes control or not?
    Thans in advance for any feedback given.

    I think this may be a clue to the problem. When you purchased the MBA did you restore any of your personal data from a prior backup? In particular, did you restore any prior data in the Music folder?
    Or, did you simply launch iTunes and enable iTunes Match?

  • Sharing Internet from MBk Pro to MacBook using Verizon Novatel Card to Arpt

    I have a Verizon Broadband Access Card. In the past, I have successfully shared my internet access from my MacBookPro to my MacBook by setting up the sharing preferences - from Novatel Wireless (Pro) card to Airport (MacBook). The problem now is that the MacBook shows that it is connected to the Pro via Airport (full airport bars), but the MacBook internet page won't open - says it's not connected to the internet. Diagnostics, however, says it is connected. Anyone have this problem? Is this something to do with the Verizon card suddenly?

    Duane-
    Firewall is (and has been) off on the Pro. Under Preferences, Sharing pane, are you referring to the Services tab? If so, I have tried the Personal Web Sharing (though I think that's for my own websites) and that doesn't make a difference to the connection. All of the services boxes are unchecked (off). Any other thoughts? I appreciate your help.

I tried a few methods listed online but it did not work.I am using Mountain Lion.

    Using internet sharing I was able to share the connection & my iPad recognizes it & connects to it. I even see the check mark on the left of the connection name with an i button on the right.However safari is unable to connect to the internet on my iPad. Do I need to do something else like a username password? The http proxy is set to off on the iPad.

  • Unable to connect internet from macbooks only (wireless) - macbooks with cable are ok, PCs connect ok wireless, backup also ok to macbooks, time capsule

    Wireless internet connection is down from macbooks only.  When try to connect wirelessly, macbook ask for PPPoE use name and password which I type and nothing happens ... macbook keeps asking for both but cannot connect/
    I am unable to connect wireless with macbooks only but it's ok with an ethernet cable from macbook to timecapsule.  Macbooks also access time capsule for backups wireless without a problem.
    Also  it's ok to connect to the internet wirelessly with windows based notebooks.
    Hardware: 2T Timecapsule, Macbook 15, MacbookAir 11, 2 Sony Vaios.  Both macbooks are running OSx 10.6.8 - All lastest firmware is installed.
    I have turn off and on timpecapsule and modem.  And downloaded lastes firmaware.  Network has been working ok for at leat 30 days since I boiugth time capsule
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.
    Andy

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    Just a hunch. The Sony and iBook may not be able to handle WPA2 Personal Security, which is the default Security setting of the Time Capsule.
    Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Change the setting for Wireless Security to WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Update to save settings
    Any luck?

  • I cant upload any file to internet from MacBook ?

    Hi evreone
    I cant upload any file to internet from mac (safari or firefox)
    I can't upload for example photo to Facebook and attachments file to any web site
    When I open the window to choose which files
    I can not select the files appear transparent

    Hi! So I had the same problem... I don't know if you still have it but here goes a possible solution: When you open the window to select the file, at left side of the folder selector you will see a view option. Select it and choose "None".

  • Sharing internet with Macbook from an XP machine?

    I know on OS X that I can easily turn on internet connection sharing, and take my XP laptop and connect to that Wifi network, but can anyone tell me how to do this the other way around?
    In other words, how do I configure XP to share a connection with an OS X machine? I tried the XP ICS thing, but it apparently will only work with other XP machines.
    I know this is a Mac forum, but not many PC people know how easy internet sharing over wifi is on a Mac

    Lol I just figured it out...

  • Sharing ethernet from Macbook pro to wifi for my iphone.

    Internet sharing has worked completely fine for me for about 3 weeks up until now.  Now, when I try to connect to the network on my iPhone, it connects for about a second, then drops connection. (This connecting and disconnecting happens rapidly if I stay on the Wi-Fi choice tab on my phone.)  The network shows 3 full bars for connectivity, however when I choose it and the flickering between "choose a network" and the actual network being chosen happens, the 3 bars become greyed out.  It jumps from the list of network up to appearing as the chosen network about 5 times than stops (ending up back on the list to choose from).  I'm not sure why this started.  I tried to connect my friend's tablet to the network and the same thing happened so I know it is a problem with my computer and not my phone.  I've restored and reset network settings on both my phone and macbook several times.  I just installed mavericks today in hopes that it might fix something but the same problem occurs.  My macbook is still able to connect to the internet just fine when sharing is turned on which leads me to believe that the ethernet cord I am using and the port on my macbook are perfectly fine.  I haven't seen any problems similar to the one I am having right now so I am trying to explain it the best I can.  Can anyone help me figure out what is going on and what (if anything) can be fixed?  Also, for the sake of providing all helpful information, I am on a college campus in a dorm room so messing with the router or modem or anything like that is not an option.  The reason I share the ethernet from my macbook to wifi for my phone is because the wifi from the college is horrible and I am forced to use up all of my data quickly while I am in my room unless I can get this sharing to start working again.  If anyone has an possible solutions or theories as to what is happening please let me know! Thank you!

    Hi Slickwill since you added Mavericks today its possible it is the problem. Read some helpful tips from OSX Daily

  • Problems sharing internet to macbook over wifi and bluetooth

    I have an iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1.2 and I want to share its internet connection to a Macbook Pro (early 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
    When I share using USB connection, it works fine, but with Wifi and Bluetooth I have some issues:
    - Bluetooth: I have never been able to make this work. I can't pair the iPhone with the Macbook. The iPhone appeared in the list of bluetooth devices in my mac, and I tried to pair it; in the iPhone a dialog asked me to confirm if I wanted to pair with the mac, and I selected Yes. After a few seconds it disconnected. If I try to pair from my iPhone to the mac, I get an error message "Device not compatible".
    - Wifi: this sometimes works but is very buggy. Sometimes the iPhone wifi network is not visible to my mac. Other times, when I select the wifi network in the mac, I get an error message that says it was not possible to connect. I have to turn off/on the wifi and internet sharing in the iPhone several times to make it work.
    This is all very frustrating. Is there a way to fix this?

    Same issue here with WiFi using latest iOS version on iPad Air and latest Macbook Pro. In my opinion, "Personal Hotspot" (or tethering) is totally broken on iOS.
    WiFi tethering works once and then I need to enable/disable hotspot or enable/disable WiFi to make it work again. Bluetooth is so slow it's unusable. Even over USB I have to reset the iPad a couple times a day as the internet connection is displayed as online but just not working any more. Very disappointing. "it just works (not!)".

  • Internet from macbook to PS2 via ethernet port on macbook

    I am currently connected to the internet through the airport thing from a router on my macbook. I have read online that you can share your internet connection to another computer through your ethernet port.
    My question is, can you have the internet connection run from my macbook to my ps2 through an ethernet cable? I tried the internet sharing thing in osx but it didnt work and I dont want to buy an expensive wireless adapter.
    Message was edited by: OldBoyKilla

    Sure, it's been done, but if you use encryption you'll have problems.
    Setup Internet Sharing on the Mac, wait up to 45 minutes for any SMB device to announce itself, (crazy, I know)
    Set the Router on the {S2 to be the IP of the MacBook.

  • Mirroring Internet from MacBook Pro to apple TV

    Im thinking of buying the latest Apple TV, and want to replace cable. Between Itunes, Netflix and HuluPlus, I would have almost everything minus a few shows. If I'm watching something on the Internet on my MacBook Pro (running Lion), can I mirror it to my Apple TV? That was something the older model couldn't do, and if it still can't, I'll just stick with my Roku player.

    Mirroring from your MAc to ATV(2nd, 3rd gen) is coming in the next OS X(10.8) update and should only be $29 bucks. I and numerous other people want this feature. Sadly your going to have to wait until Mid summer for it. I've personally already ditched cable.
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion. Even more innovation comes to the Mac.

  • Sharing internet between Macbook Pro and iPad mini

    My Macbook pro is connected to a wireless internet hotspot which i pay weekly for, called bizportal. I then have this connected to a Wifi Router. Ive recently purchased an Ipad Mini and would like to connect this to the hotspot too. Ive clicked the internet sharing option in system preferences on my Macbook, but then I look on my Ipad and my Macbook Pro doesnt seem to come up in Wifi options, What can I do now?

    You cannot connect the iPad directly to the hotspot? I know nothing about your particular hotspot but I can connect up to 5 devices with the Verizon MIFI2200 that I use. I have connected 3 devices successfully at one time but have never had to try more than that.
