Sharing Internet with iPhone

I am at a hotel and am connected to the internet through ethernet. I have paid for one week and shared this connection with my iPhone over wi-fi. This worked for a while, but now the iPhone can not get the router and DNS fields filled in and cannot access the internet. The Mac seems to do the same when trying to access the same network (The network i created on it through sharing). What could be the reason for this sudden change?

You may need to contact the carrier and make sure the feature is still on the account, otherwise....

  • If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth.  Might be worth a try that way.
    However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.

  • Sharing Internet with xbox 360

    Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
    Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

    If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
    If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

  • Sharing Internet with AirPort

    Hello
    Okay to start my iMac here is connected directly to a DSL modem with no router through Ethernet. I saw that you can share Ethernet connections and use AirPort to create a Computer-to-Computer network and enable internet connection sharing. Would this work properly with a Windows XP computer with a wireless card in? I want to be able to get that computer on the net.

    Yes, but you won't be able to use a password with an XP PC therefore is not recommended.
    I would recommend getting a wireless router.

  • Sharing internet with Windows over AirPort

    My G5 tower is connected to typical home router via ethernet. This gives it flawless internet connectivity.
    To give better wireless access to mobile devices that come to that room for a visit in the far corner of the house where the G5 is located, I got a used AirPort Extreme card for the G5 and installed it, making sure to attach the antenna connector and small t-shaped external antenna (provided with original G5) plugged in the back.
    When I powered the G5 back on, it immediately saw the AE card and told me to review settings and press Apply. Under Network prefs, under "Location: Automatic", I chose "Show: AirPort." An AirPort ID is shown, along with the default setting below: "By default, join 'Automatic.'" I left all other network settings as they are--I am not trying to use AirPort to connect the G5 to the main wireless router, since it already has ethernet.
    I went to the "Sharing" pref and chose the third pane under it, "Internet". I configured it to read: Share your connection from built-in ethernet . . . using (checkbox on) AirPort. I clicked on the AirPort options in this same pane, and typed in a network name: "ABC wi-fi". Channel is Automatic, and--to keep things simple for now--I left encryption off. I pressed OK to close that small dialog, then hit "Start" in the Sharing/Internet pane, which makes its status message change to "Internet sharing on: sharing your built-in ethernet connection." Success! Well, no.
    The AirPort icon in the menu bar was a blank quarter-pie. So I clicked on it, and saw the "open internet sharing" option. A panel appeared where I could turn airport on. I did. The grayed-out Network line of the pane then showed the name of the network I had created back in the Sharing dialog: "ABC wi-fi." And the signal level indicator shows full power, all to the right. All set? Nope! When I go to my Windows laptop and find this new network, I see two new options: One, strangely, is the "Computer Name" shown in the Sharing pref panel, and clicking on it to connect doesn't work. The other option is the network I actually named and shared, "ABC wi-fi," but when I attempt to connect to it, Windows (actually Intel PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi Connection Utility) insists on stepping me through a series of complex security settings, when it would seem that no security should be required since I didn't enable encryption on the AirPort connection.
    Giving up on those security settings, I go back to the Sharing control panel and turn sharing off. I hit the AirPort options button and turn encryption on I leave on WEP 40-bit, which requires me to type in a five character string. I do so. I click OK and restart internet sharing. Again, I am given confirmation of "Internet sharing on: sharing your built-in ethernet connection." I try to connect from Windows again, but am not even presented with the complex security options. It just says "Unable to connect," even though it can clearly see the SSID. I try the same a few more times--no luck. I go get an iPod touch and select the new G5-based network--type in the five characters required for WEP 40-bit, and jump right on. Why can't my Windows 7 laptop connect?

    Good advice from rccharles, do try that, but I'm wondering if it might be related to Digitally sign communications, even though this talks about server & connecting the other way...

  • Home Sharing issues with iPhone 6 Plus

    Hi guys,
    I'm having problems with streaming music and video on my iPhone 6 plus from my Macbook Pro (mid 2010 model) using iTunes' Home Sharing . I am able to stream without any issues using my iPhone 4S and my Apple TV, however.
    I am using iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iOS 8.1.2, and OSX 10.9.5.
    Using my 6 plus, I am able to connect to my iTunes library, both music and video. Album art shows up for music but no cover art for the videos. So, all in all, I am able to see the contents of my library.
    However, when I try to play songs, a couple things may happen. First, nothing plays for about 10 seconds; then a second or two of the song plays followed by silence again, appearing as if it's buffering. Second thing that may happen is that a second or two plays immediately followed by silence. If I press next to play the next song, what usually happens is that nothing plays, although the song title does appear.
    As seen in this video, I don't have any issues with my WIFI connection or internet speed, as demonstrated using the iPhone 4S and Apple TV.
    I have no clue as to why this is happening.
    Hopefully someone could shed some light with this issue. Please feel free to comment. I'm open to and appreciate any suggestions while Apple tries to find a solution. Thanks.

    UPDATE
    So, after working with the guys at Apple, they we were to provide a solution.  Now I have no problems using Home Sharing with my iPhone 6 Plus!!!
    (I should add that I have the Linksys Advanced Dual-Band N Router (E2500))
    The issue was fixed by giving one of the wi-fi channels a different name, thus splitting the channels into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.  Then, I connected my iPhone to one channel (2.4 GHz) and my MacBook Pro to the other channel (5GHz).  In this configuration, I have had no issues streaming my music and video.
    It seems that the problem is some kind of interference between both devices when using the same channel (i.e., when both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel share the same name).

  • Best way to control/play shared library with iPhone

    Hi there,
    My iTunes library syncs with my ATV and I have set up my wife's iPhone (I don't have one yet but will get a Touch once they up the storage) to act as a remote with the Remote app.
    What's the best way to set up/share my wife's music library on the ATV? I know I can set up her library on the ATV and access through 'Shared Music', but it looks as though the Remote app on the iPhone can't search, scroll, display her playlists etc in the same way that it does for the 'main' library that the ATV has stored locally.
    Is the best way to have the iPhone Remote set to control the iTunes library (rather than the ATV) and have iTunes on the Mac set to Apple TV for the speakers?
    I'd prefer to be able to keep all the adjustments to within just the iPhone Remote rather than give my wife a list of instructions across a number of devices (I know I'll get a call in the middle of the night when I'm overseas from my wife asking me why the iMac isn't play her music :))
    Thanks,
    Tom

    As far as I'm aware, and certainly the case when I investigated the system a few months ago, the advantage Sonos has is being able to play different music in different rooms from the same iTunes library and Mac, and also offer streaming Internet radio.
    So with Sonos you can play kiddie's music in the front room, Dad's house in the kitchen and set the radio to wake you up in the bedroom he following morning.
    With iTunes/AirTunes one is rather more restricted to one source playing one song to whichever speakers you have selected. I think.
    True, if you look at it as the only source of content, I was looking at it from a typical set up scenario, you seem to have two itunes libraries and an tv, so you could have different music in three rooms using your iphone as a central control, I have more sources than rooms so a sonos wouldn't do anymore than my present set up can do. If one is starting from scratch the sonos seems quite attractive, however for me it would require an investment of round about $ 5,000 to achieve something I more or less already have

  • Can connect to Wifi but not LAN internet with iphone 6

    Hello from Australia.
    Ever since I brought my iphone 6 home, I have been plagued with Wifi issues.  All of my idevices have lost internet connection, even though they can be connected to WiFi via Airport Express (2nd gen).
    My internet is a LAN ethernet cable, and usually after connnecting to WiFi (on any device), I get a Login Page from my ISP and I can connect to the internet as usual.
    The new iphone 6 has never been able to bring up the Login Page, but is able to connect to my WiFi network.  My old 4S is also unable to connect, as well as my husband's 4S.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Sharing internet with a Dell notebook

    Greetings all,
    I connect my Mac Pro through the ethernet port into the cable modem. My significant other has, unfortunately, a Dell notebook, and would also like to use the internet.
    We recently received a Linksys Wireless-G Access Point as a gift, and I am trying to figure out how to make all this work.
    What options do I have? Going wireless with the Mac Pro and have an airport card installed - would this even work with third party wireless router, such as the one above?
    Bying another router, such as Linksys Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch, and use that as a bridge?
    Forgive my ignorance, this is not my strong side.
    Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
    Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
    H.

    My Mac Pro shares its internet connection with a Dell notebook over wire and an iPhone over WiFi. I can't quite remember the configuration for Tiger but I think it required a tiny bit more effort than with Leopard. I'm sure you could find the Tiger help page here. The Leopard setup is very easy.

  • Sharing Internet with others via AirPort Extreme

    Hello!!
    I really hope that someone can help me with this!
    I have Air Port Extreme in my Mac Pro and I recently set it up so that my girlfriend who has a laptop PC can share my internet connection. My concern is now that anyone in our building can use my connection, right? I've heard something about passwords and things like that. Something about wep passord...
    Can someone tell me how I get a password so that not anybody in our building can use our connection?
    I really hope to get an answer on this one!!
    Cheerz!!
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   With built in Air Port Extreme

    Plug the external hard drive into one of your stationary Macs. On that Mac go to System Preferences-> Sharing preference pane and enable File Sharing.
    Now you should be able to access that drive from any of your other Macs.

  • 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...
