Sharing internet while hooked up via ethernet

Hi,
I want to hook two computers (one 10.3 one 10.4) via ethernet to each other. I also want to hook one up to an airport via its airport card then share the internet (the 10.4 one is the one connected to the airport).
How would I go about this? I can't figure out how to allow airport connection via tcpip while I'm using tcpip for the ethernet connection.
I am sure this is posted here somewhere but I can't find anything specific (step by step instructcions).
I have figured out how to network the two computers via ethernet.
Thanks!
Misha

Hi Misha,
The exact thing you want to do is configured via:
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
(Ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh336.html)
In your case you will set this up on the 10.4 machine, where you will share your Aiport connection and allow other computers to connect via the ethernet connection. (ie. airport is set up in Network preferences, and ethernet is set up in Sharing preferences)
Note the advice about turning on Personal Web sharing also. (This should mean your 10.4 firewall will allow pass-thru connections from the 10.3 machine)

  • Internet Sharing - Mobile Broadband to Vista via Ethernet

    Hi,
    I am connected to the web via a USB mobile broadband dongle (HUAWEI). I have an external IP address that I can see via websites, but the USB dongle actually reports via System Preferences a private address (normally 10.5x.x.x). Not a problem so far, the net works and all is good.
    I now wish to share this connection over ethernet with a Windows Vista machine over ethernet, but am having problems. I turn Internet Sharing on set to share connection from "HUAWEI Mobile" to computers using "Ethernet".
    The Windows machine gets an IP address (in the 192.168.2.x range), and can ping me, and I can ping that machine. The Vista machine can even use DNS ok, but it cannot ping any internet IP, nor connect via HTTP or SSH to the outside world.
    If I share the internet via Airport, my iPhone can pick it up and use it to access the internet just fine.
    My Firewall is set to allow all incoming connection. In Network, I have tried ethernet as set to DHCP (it gets a self assigned IP in 169 range, and ifconfig also reports the 192 IP) and turned off, with no difference.
    Any suggestions? Either a solution or some tests I could try to narrow in on the problem.
    On a sidenote - is it normal for Internet Sharing to use two different private address ranges for sharing via different connections? Over Airport it uses the 10.x.x.x range and over ethernet the 192.x.x.x range. Can I change this somewhere?
    Many thanks in advance!

    my iMac unfortunately is running 10.6.8

  • Problems sharing internet- jaguar, leopard, wireless and ethernet

    Hi
    I have a MacBook with Leopard and an old iMac with Jag 10.2 on it my partner uses. We've just moved our house around and the router & airport station is now miles from the imac. The two macs are set up in the same room so I hooked up the imac and macbook with an ethernet cable with the idea that the imac could share the wireless connection via the macbook. I set up sharing on the Macbook to share the airport connection via ethernet but the connections isn't working. Any ideas anyone?

  • Sharing internet connection with Windows via Airport

    Happy New Year, all!
    I have an iMac Intel Core Duo connected to an ADSL modem via ethernet. I'd like to share my internet connection via Airport with a Windows laptop (which is running XP with SP2). I've read that this is possible and I've tried setting it up but the laptop isn't seeing the Airport network at all.
    I've created a network with security off, from the Airport drop-down menu in the iMac menu bar, turned Internet Sharing on (Share from: ethernet - to computers using: Airport). I have Windows Sharing and Personal Web Sharing turned on, and my firewall is off. But the Airport network still doesn't show up on the laptop.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or at least point me in the right direction.
    Many thanks in advance.

    i am having the same problem. i have the mac connected but when i go to windows i can't get the page open that says to connect. when i run the mouse over the icons at the bottom of the page it shows the airport signal being excellent. but i just can't get to a page to enter the "key to connect". it is greyed out and shows that it is limited or not connectivity.
    please someone help!

  • Can't use my wifi connection while sharing it to my PC via Ethernet

    I am sharing my WiFi connection to my desktop PC using an Ethernet cable. The internet works great on my desktop, however my MacBook now can't use the connection. It says it's connected to WiFi but nothing will load.
    Anyone know how I can use internet on both devices at the same time?
    It's a MacBook (Mid 2010) running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1

    Lets se if I understand this. Are you doing this because you don't have a router? And you need to create a hot spot? Here in an article on doing this.http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-windows-wifi-hotspot-share-internet-connection /

  • Sharing Internet with another Mac via Bluetooth

    I'm trying to help my wireless-less iMac G5 get online. It sits about two inches away from a MacBook Pro on my desk, which connects to the household wireless network via the in-built AirPort card. I'm hoping I can share that AirPort connection via Bluetooth.
    Both systems are running Leopard, although the G5 is running a vanilla 10.5.0 install since I can't update without an Internet connection. The MacBook Pro is up-to-date and then some.
    On the MacBook Pro, under System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Advanced, I've checked "Share my Internet connection with other Bluetooth devices." Under Sharing, I've turned on Internet Sharing from AirPort to Bluetooth PAN. I've also paired the devices together.
    I'm trying to connect from the iMac G5 to the MacBook Pro with "Connect to Network" in the Bluetooth menu. However, it's grayed out. If I do the same from the gear menu in System Preferences -> Bluetooth, nothing occurs.
    This seems like a pretty complicated process for a technology that's meant to make networking child's play.

    You're making life very complicated for yourself!
    1) Bluetooth is far too slow for sharing an internet connection, unless you like accessing the internet at dial-up speeds or less.
    2) As the computers are so close, just run an Ethernet or Firewire cable between the two to create a network, and share the internet connection over Ethernet or Firewire.
    3) You can easily update the G5 to the latest Leopard by downloading the standalone updater on the internet connected Mac from the Apple web-site, then just copy the Update to the G5 via CD, DVD, USB Disk, Firewire Cable, Ethernet Cable, external hard disk etc...

  • Sharing Internet with windows, connected by ethernet, using mac's airport

    So I have a desktop that doesn't have Wi-Fi and I too cheap to buy anything for it. So I'm trying to use the MacBook's airport to give the Windows internet through the ethernet connecting them both.
    I went to internet sharing and entered "Share connection from: Airport" "To computers using: ethernet." and that's all I got up to so far.

    Now connect the two computers via an Ethernet Cable and you should have internet access on the PC.
    Make sure you set up the PC to use the Ethernet port for network / internet use.

  • 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.

  • Problem with sharing internet connecting with Wii via AirPort

    I have an iMac running the latest updates of 10.0.4. My internet is DSL, so it comes into the modem via the phone, and then the modem connects to the iMac via an Ethernet cable. ie: I don't have a wireless network.
    I just bought a Wii and want to connect it to the internet using the built in AirPort feature of the iMac. After I turn on Internet Sharing in Sharing, the Wii will find the iMac as an Access Point (that's the term in the Wii menu).
    The problem I have is that the Wii will not connect to the internet unless I turn off the firewall in OS X. Obviously, this isn't a great solution to getting the Wii connected.
    Does anyone have any idea of how to allow the Wii through the firewall without turning off the firewall.
    Thanks.

    Though this link talks about blocking them, you should be able to reverse it...

    In the Firewalltab>Advanced, is UDP being blocked? You can also open specific ports.

  • Seeing an external drive via ethernet?

    I have an 80 gb external drive hooked up to an EMac. No problem accessing thru there, but I need to access when my PB G4 is hooked up via ethernet. I can see the drive on the EMac hard drive, but get the message;
    cannot be found, Insert disk/ connect to the server and wait for it to appear on the desktop
    My PB will not see the drive when hooked up directly (USB), power issue?
    I would like to just log in and access. Is this possible?

    In a regular Mac OS X client installation, when connected via Ethernet, your external drive is not shared - therefore it will not be visible to another computer on the network (ie. your PowerBook). Only Mac OS X Server has the extra sharing capabilities.
    However you can still enable sharing of external drives, without having to buy Mac OS X Server, simply by using the donationware utility SharePoints. It will allow you to share just about anything on your Mac.

  • Airport express won't extend network via ethernet but shows GREEN (HELP!!)

    I have the following routers setup up the same network and are working.
    10.0.1.1 Airport Extreme (connected to hardline from IP)
    10.0.1.2 Time Capsule 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to computer via ethernet)
    10.0.1.3 Time Capsule 2 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox1)
    10.0.1.4 Airport Express 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox2)
    Not working correctly
    10.0.1.43 Airport Express 2 (wanting to set this router up to extend network to plug into desktop)
    The router seems to join the network fine and will show GREEN but doesn't show a similar IP address as the rest of the routers. It also doesn't provide any internet connection via ethernet to any computer, the network pref page says that it shows RED and that nothing is connected to the computer for internet but airport shows GREEN.
    Reset the router multiple times, tried every which way of setting it up and no go. I also tried assigning it a IP and not using DHCP and gave it a 10.0.1.5 and still the same outcome.
    Right now just at complete loss as to what to try next.

    Sorry, the older version of the Express does not have the option to  "extend a wireless network", which is the setting on the new Express that provides more wireless coverage and also enables the Ethernet port.
    What you want to do can be done with a different setting..."participate in a WDS network" on both the Time Capsule and Express, but I am not recommending that you do this because WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode. Your Time Capsule would lose most of its performance in this setting and the network would slow down tremendously...defintely not what you want for gaming.
    You'll have the best performance if you connect the PS3 directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable. If it is not possible to run the cable, the next best performance option would be to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC wiring in your home.

  • Connecting via Ethernet - backing up wirelessly

    Hi
    I have placed an order for Time Capsule but I have been wandering....
    Is it possible to connect to the Time Capsule via Ethernet for the Internet Connection, whilst the back up takes place over wireless? Or does it mean if I connect via Ethernet, the back up and Internet connection will be via Ethernet? What I am concerned with it Lag on the network (same applies too for Wireless) and would like wireless back up whilst connecting via Ethernet to the Net.

    Or does it mean if I connect via Ethernet, the back up and Internet connection will be via Ethernet?
    Yes

  • New iMac can't find the old iMac via Ethernet

    I just bought a new 27" iMac and I am trying to migrate data from my old iMac.
    I have the two machines hooked together via Ethernet and have Etherenet turned on in the source iMac but the new iMac can't find the old iMac. The pinwheel keeps spinning with no success. What should I do here?

    Gramps wrote:
    What FireWire?
    There is no FireWire port on the new machine so this is a non-starter.
    Unfortunately you didn't read my post very thoroughly. You are correct, the new iMacs do not include FW however your old Mac probably does. For just that reason and more Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter which you can use if you opt to use FW Target Disk Mode. You can find the adapter by going to your Apple online store or Amazon carries it to. Here is the Amazon link:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-Adapter/dp/B008RXYOKY/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366831510&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+to+firewire+cable
    However as I mentioned use TM or a bootable clone with Migration Assistant. If your old Mac was using any verison of OS X from Leopard (10.5.x) on at the very least you should have a  Time Machine backup!
    Also use Pondiini's guide as AnaMusic suggests, it's THE GUIDE for using Migration Assistant and Setup Assistant. He has also created excellent guides for Time Machine too.

  • Cannot connect to iMac (OS9) via ethernet while connected to internet

    I readily connect my eMac (OS X) to my iMac (OS 9) via ethernet using TCP/IP except when my internal modem is connected to the internet. In Network Port Configurations, I have ethernet at the top of the list, followed by fire wire and then the modem. It appears to search the internet.
    Any suggestions?

    On the iMac, the AppleTalk Control Panel (CP) is set to connect via ethernet. The TCP/IP CP is set to connect via Ethernet, Configure manually with an IP and Router address of 192.168.168.1 and a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 The IP address shows up in the File Sharing CP which is set to use TCP/IP.
    On the eMac, PPPoE is disabled and Appletalk is active. Connecting from eMac to iMac works fine when the eMac's internal modem is idle but not when it is connected to the internet.
    When I try to connect from iMac to eMac while eMac is connected to internet, I see the eMac in the Chooser and can attempt to connect as either registered user or guest but then immediately get "The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken". If the eMac is not connected to the internet, I can connect as a guest and see items in my Public folder.
    I tried creating a new Location and immediately lost my internet connection.
    The IP address of the iMac never changes. I do enter the IP address of the eMac's ethernet into the chooser dialogue on the iMac when attempting to connect from iMac.

  • Sharing Mac internet with XP via Ethernet
