Sharing the Internet Connection of my OSX 10.3.9 G4 Mac Sawtooth

I currently have three computers and one network printer all networked together through a 5 port switch (the Linux machine is networked part of the time; not always, as it is in another room and I don't like having ethernet cable all over the floors here). My G4 Sawtooth uses a dial-up connection to access the Internet. I have no problem there, but the G4 absolutely refuses to share its Internet connection—even with the other Mac in the house. The other computers can both access the Personal Web page on the G4, and the OS9 Mac can log onto and access the hard drives of the G4. The G4 can also access the personal web page and the hard drives of the OS9 Mac. When I have it connected, the Linux machine can access the personal web pages and access the hard drives of both Macs, but neither the OS9 Mac nor the Linux machine can achieve an Internet connection through the G4, even though I have Internet sharing active on the G4. This is, of course while the G4's modem is successfully maintaining an Internet connection.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
G4 Sawtooth Mac OS X (10.3.9) 8963 MB RAM, 400MHz

Woops! Typo there! That would be an awfully powerful Sawtooth!
The actual RAM is as below, of course.

Wh does the internet connection keep dropping on my macbook pro and mac pro

I have a Mac pro, Macbook Pro and iphone. All have problems with the internet connection especially after any short period of in activity. My mac Pro is connected directly with an ethernet cable and the mac pro wireless. I have to go through system preferences network setup all the time to reconect. Soemtimes whn on email choosing take all accounts online does cause a reconnect but only after a minute or so wait.

Done that.. many times... also did a lot of suggestions from other posts.. removing pls files etc.. nothing works and it seems to be something experienced by other.. mysstery is it happens on all 5 computers in the office.. my isp has no suggestions... the pro can loose connection and the macbook wifi is OK and the phone usually works OK but leave my Macpro for 5 minutes and `I need to reconnct using system preferneces...

Monitoring who is sharing the internet connection..

Hi, I just bought a WRT54G v.6 today and it's absolutely fabulous.
But I am quite new with this thingy so I just want to know a few things:
1. When I tried to get a laptop connected to the router wirelessly, there was some kinda IP address conflict, but now it is working. If the same problem happens, what do I need to do?
2. How do I see who is sharing the connection with me?
Wait for replies,
Thanks ahead.

"Advanced Lan Scanner" is quite good software and its a free download, it saves you from having to log onto your router each time you want to look at who is logged on to the network

Sharing problems - internet connection

Hi, I can't share my script. It tells me that I have some problems with my internet connection, but it's impossible.
Help me
Thanks

I'd like to share both. By for now I need to share just a script, not the whole project. I tried to share both, but it's the same, same problem.

Sharing my Internet Connection

I have a MacBook and have a connected a USB modem. I have shared the interject connection via airport. I have then been able connect to the shared Internet using my iPad. When I attempt to connect to the same shared connection using my iMac, I get a "Connection Timeout" and it won't connect.
Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Thanks
Daniel

HI Daniel,
If your iMac is running v10.5.6 as your profile states, you need to update your system software.
Click your Apple Menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Updates.
After you are updated to v10.5.8, repair disk permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
You may also need to change the Airport Channel on the iMac.
Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X.
Select the device you’re setting up, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu. Quit Airport Utility and restart your iMac.

Sharing the Internet

Hello All,
I need some help. I have a Mac Pro that is accessing the internet wirelessly with my neighbors internet connection (don't worry, it's legit). I had to run an external antenna outdoors to pick up the signal because I live in a basement. I also have a Powerbook G4 and the only way I can access the internet with it is to bring it outdoors. My question is, can I configure my Powerbook G4 and my Mac Pro to share the internet connection of the Mac Pro? Please help me as I need to do some work at home and I need a connection on both machines.

If you go to System Preferences > Sharing and enable Internet Sharing, your Powerbook should be able to connect to the internet through your Mac Pro. If you're using Leopard it should look a bit like this.

can you help me get rid of it?
this is a imac g5 power pc. currently running 10.4.7
about to be running 10.4.8
there is no internal modem. only an ethernet port.
there are only the following options in system preferences > network > show >

I'd start by trashing...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Then Reboot and setup again your Network(s).

Sharing my internet connection via Airport

I have an Intel MacPro with an Airport card. It is connnected to the internet via one of its ethernet ports. I am trying to share that internet connection via the Airport card with my Windows XP machine. I was able set up the wireless connection using 128-bit encryption, and successully access websites from my Windows XP laptop. However, it seems that neither AIM nor Yahoo Messenger nor MSN IM on my Windows machine can connect via the MacPro internet sharing. I can only use a web browser on the Windows machine successfully. Is there some additional configuration I need to do get the internet connection sharing to handle other kinds of connectsions, rather than just web pages?

I'll admit that I'm merely guessing here. Are you running the firewall on your Mac? It is possible the firewall is blocking the ports that the messaging software is using. If your firewall is on turn it off and try using the Yahoo and/or MSN messaging software. If it now works see if you can determine what ports are being used and edit your firewall to keep those ports open.

The internet connection is currently in use by another computer

I am trying to replace my old linksys router with Airport Express. I can get it connected and and I can access the internet on my MacBook but when I try to use WiFi on my iPad, I get the message "The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer (172.16.1.11)" from Earthlink, my ISP.
I have a Netopia modem from Earthlink. My MacBookPro is running OSX 10.9.4.
I understand that I need to have the AirPort Express look like the only device attached to the Netopia modern, and then the AirPort Express will handle multiple devices' connections correctly (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone). I just can't figure out how to set this up.

There is nothing you can do.. if you want more than one device connected then you must double NAT. This is common practice with Satellite providers.. I am not sure why they cannot afford to buy a block of public IP.. maybe it is deliberate to prevent people using servers.
Just select ignore in the airport utility.. for the double NAT problem.. this is the equivalent to sticking your head in the ground and therefore your problems don't exist. (your opponents cannot see you if you have a bird brain!!) Of course when the opportunity comes up.. move. Go to fibre or 3g/4g with a reliable ISP who hands out public IP. Until then tighten your belt.. short commons are the order of the day.

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

My iMac drops the internet connection but mantains the wi-fi network.

I have a late 2011, 2.7GHz Intel Core i5, 27" iMac with 4GB Ram. When I power up the computer everything goes great, but after 3 or 4 hours (top) the internet connection stops working; and by this I DO NOT MEAN that the network utility turns off, or that it doesn't detect any netwoks. On the contrary, the computer stays connected to the wi-fi network and detects everything, but it simply has no internet connection; it even stops communicating with my iphone through itunes (with the wi-fi sync option), and crashes LAN games when i try to play at home. When this occured for the first times I just turned off and back on the network utility, but the problem continued and I had to keep turning off and on the network (it wouldn't stay connected for more than 5 minutes). I checked with my laptop (the last alluminum macbook ever available, as well as with my mom's black macbook) when the internet stopped working in the iMac (just to check that there were no issues regarding my ISP) and the internet connection just worked great in it, and it didn't drop at all! It also worked perfectly with my dad's windows XP dinosaur laptop.
At the beggining I thought my wi-fi router had gone bad, so I changed it for a brand new wireless-n ready router (it turned out that i wasted 180 dollars, because this wasn't the issue, and I had already trashed my old router). At first, I used the wireless-n feature, but other gadgets stopped working with this type (a play station 3 and a nintendo wii). I then configured it with a mixed mode, and everything has worked perfectly (including both macbooks, an ipad 2, an iphone 4s, 4 blackberries, a play station 3, a nintendo wii, 2 network printers, 1 network scanner, a 3TB network hard disk and 3 led tvs that come network ready, along with their respectives network ready surround soundbars).... EXCEPT FOR MY IMAC! So DEFINETELY MY ROUTER IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
I've been an avid apple user for almost 10 years now, and this is the first time I encounter this type of problem (it's my first iMac), so I'm pretty much out of logical options. I've already moved my router closer to the computer, I moved my wi-fi connection to the top of the list in the network utility.
I even had to re-write this whole message again because i clicked on "Post message" and it had no internet connection, so it displayed a no-internet alert in my browser.............
PLEASE! HELP!!!!
PS: all my apple gadgets are always up to date.

I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
*PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.

Why do i keep getting the "internet connection timeout" error message?

i have been upgrading a few standard itunes albums to itunes plus versions through my 3g mobile broadband connection, while not exactly a fast process, it was working fine until i started to get a backlog of 3 or 4 albums which were waiting in a queue to be downloaded, now every time i do the "check for downloads" option i get the "internet connection timed out" error message...this has been going on for 2 days! am i right in suspecting the backlog of albums is too much for my 3g mobile broadband connection? this is really doing my head in, if any of you techies could help me, it'd be much appreciated...?

yes i have recently updated to itunes 8.2.1, but i am starting to think its apple's servers (i tried to download at my brothers house...different computer and connection...same connection timeout error), because it will still let me download an album, but not necessarily all of the tracks. when i questioned itunes customer services about the seemingly hit and miss state of affairs with downloading, they told me to wait 3 weeks before trying to download the tracks that were giving me the grief (2 tracks from an arctic monkeys album)...which kinda indicates they know there is a problem and are trying to fix it, why else would they say wait 3 wks??? they gave me 5 free music tracks too, which is handy.

Is there a way to see when the internet connection is active?

I would like to know when my iMac is communicating on the internet connection and have a way to observe that. It's not clear by looking at my DSL modem lights. Does anyone know of a program I can use that will show that clearly? It would be nice to get a freeware or shareware if one is out there...
Thanks

Your mac already has built in utilities for that.
1. Hold down the 'option' key while you click on the wifi icon in the menubar and you'll see the last item in the menulist is 'Open Wifi Diagnostics'.
Click on it. When the app opens, ignore the dialogue and 'Continue' button and instead on your keyboard hit 'Command-N'.
You'll now get a diagnostic panel with various tabs that will give you detailed info about wifi connections.
2. Open Spotlight and type 'Network Utility'. Hit 'return' to open the app. Examine the various tabs for detailed infomation about net stats.
3. Also don't forget that in System Preferences > Network will give you a lot of information. Click the padlock and enter an admin password, then play around with the 'Advanced' and the 'Assist Me...Diagnostics' buttons. The latter is particularly useful to see exactly where your connection is failing (computer, router, ISP).

Setting-up the Internet Connection

Hi All, my systems has the following Linksys products:
modem - ADSL2MUE
wireless router 1 - WRT54GS (1st floor)
wireless router 2 - WRT54G (2nd floor)
switch - SR2024 (for cable connections)
I was able to connect all the PC to the internet. My problem is I could not make all the PC be in same Gateway number in which I could not share the network printers and files to all PCs. Is there any way to solve this problem? Below are settings to each device:
ADSL2MUE - Bridge Mode only
WRT54G - IP Address (192.168.1.1), PPPoE
WRT54GS - IP Adress (192.168.2.1), DHCP
* ADSL2MUE Internet Port is connected to WRT54G Internet port
* WRT54G Ethernet Port 1 is connected to SR2024 Ethernet Port
* WRT54GS Internet Port is connected to SR2024 Ethernet Port
* Printer 1 is connected to SR2024 Ethernet port (2nd floor)
* Printer 2 is connected to WRT54GS Ethernet Port (1st floor)
* All PCs in the 1st floor is using 192.168.2.1 gateway number thru WRT54GS wireless connection.
* All PCs in the 2nd floor is using 192.168.1.1 gateway number thru WRT54G and SR2024.
I need your help on this.
Best rgds, joven

It does not matter how you set the internet connection type on the second router when nothing connects to the internet port. The internet connection type is used for the configure of the connection through the internet port. As nothing is connected in the internet port the setting is basically inoperable and makes no difference whatever you set there. You should not set a static IP address as that may affect the routing tables on the router even if the internet interface is down. Thus, just leave it on Automatic/DHCP and it should be fine.

I was lately downlaoding a 700mb file, but i lost the internet connection and i have the .part file and i cant click resume, is their any way that i can continue dowlaoding the file without the need redownloading from the begining?

I do not know if your file can be recovered. But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease. If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio. However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process. Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support Link http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx
