Slow access to local WebServer using Internet Sharing

Hi,
I have a MacPro with a WLAN. Sometimes I use internet sharing to access the internet with my iPhone. When using the "Browse the Web" feature of Goodreader to access some files on my MacPro it took very long until I get a directory listing on the iPad (only a dew files and folder). The other Way aroung (using the Goodreader intergrate WebServer an access this from my desktop is quite fast.
The desktop has an IP Number 192.168.1.2 the iPad someting with 10.xx.xx.xx. Putting the into the same ip number schema (using a wieeless router) works fine in both directions.
Any idea why the server is so slow?

Hi,
I don't know if any of you came up with an answer to this problem, because I have the exact same problem.
I use version 5.0.01.0600 of the VPN Client. Windows Explorer hangs for a couple of seconds and then works fine for a couple of seconds and then hangs for a couple of seconds, etc. When logged on in Windows XP with a user with administrator rights this problem doesn't occur. Only when logged on with a Restricted user (Users Group) does this problem occur.
Hoping you can help,
Jeroen

File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

Using internet sharing in other countries

Hello,
I've bought a HTC 8X unlocked cellphone from Verizon and moved to Brazil since them.
How can I use internet sharing here? The cellphone says it's not allowed, although my internet plan here does allow me to do that.
It seems besides being an unlocked phone, Verizon is still locking the internet sharing option.
Any help is really appreciated,
Cheers,
André

The answer is not really, but sort of.
If you have a US mailing address, a credit card that bills to that address, and a US Social Security Number, you can purchase and activate an iPhone in the US. The problem is that the phone is locked to AT&T as the mobile provider, so when you go to those countries, you will be roaming, which is expensive for calls and outlandishly expensive for data. You will not be able to inset a SIM card from a local mobile provider; it will not work. Also, AT&T may cancel you for roaming too much.
A fair number of people outside the US (and inside as well) appear to have purchased iPhones and hacked them so that they can be used as an iPod and WiFi device but not as a phone. I think those in other countries are hoping that someday they will be able to use the phone features in their country, though it is not certain that will ever be the case.

Can I use internet sharing to give internet to my Apple TV through my Macbook and use Airplay on the same computer at the same time?

So I am using internet sharing from my Macbook to my Apple TV. The router providing internet to my Macbook has an ip address that looks like 192.168.0.x. Since the internet sharing feature assigns an ip address that looks like 192.168.2.x to my Apple TV, the Macbook is unable to see the Apple TV ("different" networks). Is there a way around this so I can share internet and still be able to use Airplay between the two?
BTW I am using a Macbook Pro Retina 15'' (late 2013) on Mavericks 10.9.1 and Apple TV 3.
Thanks.

Why are you tyring to spilt your connection though the MBP? Why don't you just connect them both to the router as they are meant to be setup?

How can I use Internet Sharing with Firewall on ?

Hi,
My PowerMac G5 is connected to the internet via Ethernet. I share the connection to a Powerboog via Airport using internet sharing. Everything is working fine except when I turn the Firewall on. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107653 I tried opening port 443 but it still does'nt work. I'd like to be able to use internet sharing with the firewall on. Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

Hmmm, how curious... I never had to do that in 10.4.7 or 10.4.8... the only ones I ever tried Internet Sharing with.
I'm wondering if turning the Firewall on after the Internet sharing is what's doing it? Just for kicks you might try turning off Internet Sharing, then Firewall on, then turn on Internet Sharing.
If that doesn't work, then I'd personally try trashing...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Then reboot and try the Firewall again.

Not able to use internet sharing on my iMac 8.1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8

Im not able to use internet sharing on my iMac 8.1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8, I tried internet sharing with OS Lion and it works fine. Has anybody else experience this problem and what was the solutions.

If your OS is OS X 10.4.11 then you should be able to install iTunes 8.1 which according to the iTunes page requires 10.4.10 or later (which is a lower version than yours). It also requires QuickTime 7.5.5 so check your version of QuickTime. Version 10.4 is Tiger by the way. Leopard is 10.5 and Panther was 10.3.
Make sure that your OS is at the version you think it is. Connect your MacBook to the internet and from your desktop go to the Apple symbol on the Finder bar at the top of your screen. Choose "About This Mac" and check your OS version. Also from the same menu choose Software Update and see if you are offered any updates for your computer. If it does offer an OS X update, install it and anything else in the list then run software update again to see if any more components are offered for the new version.

How to use internet sharing and airtunes?

Question? how to use internet sharing and airtunes?
OK I have following working separate situations.
1. I can share my internet connection : is a router to ethernet cable into mac. Then over airport built in to my iMac ....... to other wireless computers, iphone etc...works fine.
2. the I have a air port express that is only used for air tunes. I guess i had create a separate network for that. can select that in iTunes. Works.
problem is can not use both at the same time!
OK so Now I would like to combine the two; share the ethernet over airport on mac and send music to air port express....
the main reason for this is cause I now have an iPhone and want to use the internet and the remote app to control iTunes from all over the house.
I have not the first idea where to start.
Any hints or tips will be greatly appreciated.

The airport express is a router. And, only one router can be used to obtain an IP address. So in your airport express configuration set it so it does not obtain an IP address.

Using Internet Sharing on Macbook Pro 17" (intel) with the iPhone

Hi,
i like to use Internet Sharing on my Macbook Pro 17" (intel) with OS X Leopard.
Enabling Internet Sharing on Leopard works just fine. I share my Ethernet Connection with the Airport.
I can connect to the Airport sharing the connection with multiple devices.
It does however not work with the iPhone.
The phone can see the network. It even connects and gets its lease (IP Adress / etc)...
I did open a terminal and did ping the iphone. Doing that i disconnected the iphone from the wifi network and connected again. I found out that immediately after connecting the connection is working (ping reply) for about 2 or 3 seconds and then there is no reply... Sometimes it is working... but 99% of the connections dont work... (working for 2 seconds and then no reply)
This is only with the Internet Sharing on the Macbook Pro (intel) in combination with the iPhone. I did not have any other wifi problems with the iPhone or with Internet Sharing on my Macbook Pro.
Regards,
somi

Hi,
thank you for your posts!
Nathan C: Did you notice this issue occurring when you were using Mac OS X 10.4?
Yes! I did not get it to work with Tiger also.
mucmac: just solved the issue by setting the channel for airport under Airport Options in sys prefs>sharing>internet sharing from Automatic to a specific channel
lazarus: Doesn't work for me.
and not for me
Richard Cartledge: Maybe it is a Leopard issue?
I think its a Macbook Pro / iPhone issue. Because other clients work well also the iPhone works on a Powerbook using Internet-Sharing.
Aaron@SODE: No luck for me! Tried every Channel and every MacBook Pro and MacBook in the company. The only Internet Sharing working is a PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.1. iPhone works with the Powerbook without any problem.
The same applies to me! I really think it is a problem with the iPhone / Macbook Pro.
mucmac: what model of macbook Pro do you use? I cant get it to work on a Macbook Pro 17"

How do you access files FROM a home network TO a CLIENT computer using "internet sharing" from a mac ?

Hi.
I just created a small network: 2 pcs and 1 mac.
2 pcs are using windows XP
1 Mac is using OS X
I would like to know how to access files from my pc1 to pc2 from my network.
Pc2 obviouslys is a client behind the intenet sharing my mac is providing.
I tried looking for the info online but most of the search brigns out "internet sharing" or "file sharing."
Any help would be great.

ITunes isn't showing up in the Devices list when using Internet Sharing.

Due to a neccessary relocation of my router, my two computers upstairs no longer have Internet Access (as neither have wireless capability). I am going to fix this issue soon by wiring in a new network to where the router is, but in the mean time I've simply been using my PowerBook G4 (running Leopard) as a Wireless access point. I simply plugged my two computers (via a hub) into my PB and turned on Internet Sharing.
Now, both of my computers (an iMac G3 running Tiger, and a Windows 7 computer) have Internet access fine. But neither of the two recognise my Apple TV now, which is connected to the router via WiFi. They both used to recognise the ATV and it would show up in devices fine, and the only thing that's changed now is the internet access is coming from the PB's sharing ability, since I did this both computer suddenly stopped seeing the ATV and I can no longer sync/connect. iTunes is up-to-date on all three computers (well except for the iMac which has an older version on it for obvious reasons).
The PowerBook on the other hand, does still see the ATV in iTunes. So I can only assume that for some reason the PowerBook is stopping the Apple Tv from being seen by the other two computers. Is there anyway I can fix this? Until I sort out a new network to my router which will take many months at the moment due to my own time constraints, this is the only way my two computers can connect to the ATV.

That's surprising Roger, because it was showing up in searches on iTunes and feedburner has a title that I inputted under that rss feed. Is there another way for me to add a title that I am missing? I have pasted the feedburner screen that I see when I login:

Detect users when using Internet Sharing?

My wireless died months ago, so I've gone back to a wired ethernet connection for my TiBook. When my friends come to visit, I turn on my AirPort card and activate Internet Sharing. This all works well and good, with no tweaking necessary. Thank God for Apple, Inc.
The problem is, I would like to monitor who is using the internet connection. If my neighbors (I live in a condo) are leeching my access or, worse yet, attempting to hack my laptop, I would like to know about it. I can't find any app included in the OS to monitor such connections (which, btw, seems really insane, since this sharing functionality can be flipped on by clicking a single button). Any ideas on what software I should be using?
Thanks.

Nice try, but fails if they simply assign themselves a different network address, or if they get one from DHCP. No, since his laptop is now effectively the wireless access point and NAT routing device, the thing to do is check the arp cache. I'll bet there are third-party programs to do this, but being a homebrew kinda guy, I'd write a script like:
<pre>
#!/bin/bash -l
currarp=`arp -a`
if [ -f /tmp/arpcache ]
then
anychange=`echo "$currarp"|diff -q - /tmp/arpcache`
if [ "$anychange" ]
then
change=`echo "$currarp"|diff - /tmp/arpcache`
echo "someone new is on the network $change"|wall
echo "$change"|syslog -s
echo "$currarp" > /tmp/arpcache
fi
else
echo "$currarp" > /tmp/arpcache
fi
exit 0
</pre>
And then make it execute every minute with cron:
$crontab -e
(add a line to file with $EDITOR:)
* * * * * /path/to/script
And then as long as I've got a Terminal or xterm or other cli window up, I'll get a notification if there's any change on my network. Since my laptop is the access point, anybody connecting to the network is going to be in my arp cache, so we can examine that for any change.
It's not a pretty script, just whipped it up, but it should prove the concept.

Monitor/mange users when using 'Internet Sharing'

Good day,
I use a HUAWEI USB key modem to connect to the internet with my MBA when in class. Since one of our lecture rooms is not covered on the campus wifi network I often turn on Internet Sharing in class and bridge my HSDPA connection to my classmates (Small class, I know them all).
Anyways today I wanting to monitor each user's usage as I caught one of my classmates downloading a 2GB file (I'm on an unlimited plan (soft cap of 40GB) so its not quota that I'm worried about, it just slowed the rest of us for the better part of an hour). Instead of being confrontational in class, and instead of booting everyone off the network I was wondering if anyone knew of a user management tool I could use to monitor those using the shared connection my notebook is broadcasting.
Many thanks!
Sam

I guess this question is bound for the depths of the apple discussion forum with all other thousands of unanswered questions.
Thanks for looking though

How do I use internet sharing from my MacBook Pro (static IP, only one DNS server) to my iPod Touch?

Hey,
   I'm connecting to the net using an Ethernet cable to my MacBook with the following network settings.
IP Address: 192.168.y.{0-250}
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.y.x (where 'y' is the same number as in the IP address)
DNS Server: 192.168.99.3
Apologies if I'm being unclear; not sure how much information it's OK to share publicly.
   I then turn on Airport and Internet Sharing, and look for my wireless network with my 4th generation iPod Touch. However, the network appears erratically. I sometimes have to wait for a minute or two and keep refreshing before it appears on my iTouch. When I try to connect it just says 'Failed to connect to the network'.
   I've followed all the steps in this article with several variations to no avail.
http://lightyearsoftware.com/2010/06/how-to-set-up-internet-sharing-on-mac-os-x/
   Can anyone suggest a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been banging my head against this for days.

On the advice of a friend I installed and ran a program on my MacBook called 'IPSecuritas'. This has stopped my wireless network from appearing and disappearing, but I still can't connect. Would really appreciate some help with this.

3g drops every time i access an app that uses internet

I have a verizon iphone 4, every time i access e-mail, safari browser, twitter, pretty much any app that uses internet 3g seems to just cut out. It comes back pretty much as soon as i quit whatever app i try to use but i cant get anything requireing internet to work unless i connect to wifi, any help would be much appreciated.

sorry, I misunderstood your question somehow. I thought you were asking about the confirmation screen (not requiring a password) that you get when you first run an application that you got off internet.
You can't get rid of the password prompts when you install things that require system changes. and that's a very good thing IMO. But you should be able to install most apps without a password if you are using an admin account. only apps that use installers and change some system files require passwords. apps installed by a drag and drop into /Applications don't.
