[solved] sharing internet from windows computer with arch laptop

Title is descriptive I think. Stuck on windows on my desktop because I did a thing and don't feel like fixing it yet
I used ICS but the laptop couldn't access the internet and I read someplace that it only works between a windows client and host, and I couldn't find how to do it between a windows host and linux client of any sort.
If it's relevant I'm using a regular yellow ethernet cable (forget which one that one is) and my desktop has a gigabit ethernet card.

If you want make your laptop as access point, then see here
Otherwise, from the Arch side, the wiki is the best place to start from.
Or see this topic is of your interests.
If these are none of your intents, please explain which is the computer and OS connected to internet and which is the computer and OS wants to access the internet.
What are the results of your trials, what steps have you done ?
More details of your doing and targetted answers will be the result.
Modern NICs don't need cross cable, the NIC will detect and self adjust the connection. If one of the two PS is less modern then you need a cross CAT5 cable.

  • MacBook won't print from shared printer on Windows computer

    I've been trying all day to get my MacBook to print through my wireless workgroup network. I've found detailed instructions here http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/sharewinprttig.htm. I have a Canon Pixma MX330 Printer hooked up to my Windows XP Computer. The PC is hooked up to a cable modem and wireless router which I have been successfully able to use for internet for the past 3 years. I have a white MacBook with OS X 10.4.11.
    I have completed all the instructions at the website stated above without any problems. The problem is that when I try printing something, nothing actually prints. My MacBook acknowledges that there is a printing in progress, the job is sent to my PC which signals that there is active data transport throughout the workgroup, AND my printer lights up. BUT the Printer utility on my Mac says the job is completed before anything actually prints. My printer doesn't signal any errors and neither does the PC. It seems as though the job has been completely lost in cyberspace.
    Its been a hassle to print something from my computer for the past 3 years (my old printer wasn't compatible with Macintosh and I just got a new one), having to email it to myself then open it up from the PC to print and today I've decided to put all my effort into solving this problem.
    I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Hello Sarah897 and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you have a Windows computer sharing its USB connection, you cannot use the drivers supplied by some vendors, and Canon is one of those. This is due to the Canon driver software for Mac OS X only being written to work with a direct USB connection. It will not work when shared by a Windows computer. (This is step 13 on page 4/5 of the link you posted. Also, this step is not entirely correct - or up to date - GimpPrint is long be renamed to Gutenprint)
    So you will need to look at using a CUPS-based driver, such as those offered by Gutenprint. And in most cases the Gutenprint driver will work fine, providing your printer model is supported. And that could also be your issue here if you using a Gutenprint driver already. Looking through the list of supported printers with the latest version of Gutenprint, the MX330 is not listed. So you would have to look at using a different model of Canon driver within the Gutenprint list to see if you can get the printing to work - but this could take a lot of time and use a lot of paper and ink.
    I would actually you look at purchasing an Airport Express. With this connected to your wireless network, you could connect the MX330 to the Express's USB port and then use the Canon provided OS X driver - no need to find a compatible driver while the good folks at Gutenprint get around to supporting this new model. The other benefit of having the Express is that you don't need the XP computer to be turned on in order to print from the Mac.

  • Share my WiFi internet (from Windows 10 TP) to Hyper-V

    Hi,
    Since 1 month I'm using Windows 10 Technical Preview on my laptop.
    Before I used Windows 8.1. There I had a Hyper-V. Thank of this blog(http://blog.credera.com/technology-insights/microsoft-solutions/using-your-windows-8-wireless-connection-inside-hyper-v/) I share the Internet of my Laptop to Hyper-V
    I copy the hard disk of VM (with Windows Server) which I create at Windows 8.1 and I'm using it in Windows 10. The VM is working but I can't share the WiFi internet to it. I tried the manual from blog but without success.
    After that I try to create a External Virtual switch. In this way the internet is not working on the Laptop and on the VM.
    --------------------------------------EDIT----------------------------------------
    Here is what I'm doing with all settings:
    1. Enter to "Hyper-V Manager" > Select "Virtual Switch Manager" > "New virtual network switch" > "Internal" >"Create Virtual Switch" > Set name to "My Virtual switch" > Click
    "OK"
    2. Open "Network connection"> Select my Wi-Fi adapter and click on "Properties" > Open "Sharing" tab > Check checkbox "Allow other users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" > Select
    from dropdown list "vEthernet (My Virtual switch)" > click "OK"
    3. Now on my Wi-Fi Adapter I can see "Shared"
    4. In "Network and Sharing Center", I have my Wi-Fi Adapter with "Access type: Internet" and "vEthernet (My Virtual switch)" with "Access type: No network access"
    4.1 In "vEthernet (My Virtual switch)" Properties: "Hyper-V extensible Virtual Switch" and "Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol" are unchecked. The rest are checked.  In "IPv4" is selected "Use
    the following IP address" but they are blank. The same with DNS server addresses
    5. In "Hyper-v Manager" I'm selecting my VM and opening "Settings"
    5.1. "Add Hardware" > "Legacy Network Adapter" > "Add" > In "Virtual Switch" dropdown I select "My Virtual switch" (The "Enable virtual LAN identification" checkbox is unchecked ) > "OK"
    6. Now I'm starting my virtual machine and I don't have access to Internet
    I see that MAC of my  "vEthernet (My Virtual switch)" is different than this of my Adapter in VM
    Do you have some idea how can I share the WiFi Internet from Windows 10 Technical Preview to Hyper-V? It will be brilliant if I can have Internet on both machines?

    I'm using client version of Windows 10.
    Yesterday this question was in Hyper-V. I don't know why it's now in "Windows Server Technical Preview"
    A Hyper-V moderator moved your question and has moved it to the wrong
    forum. Although your question is about Hyper-V the Hyper-V forum is only
    for released versions of Hyper-V. Since you're asking a question about
    Client Hyper-V on Windows 10 then the correct forum to move it to would
    have been one of the client Windows 10 forums.

  • Airplay from windows-computer?

    hello
    is it possible to watch films from my windows-computer with airplay and appletv on the tv-screen?
    regards and thanks
    beat

    Windows computers don't support AirPlay Mirroring, although there are third party alternatives.
    You can however play any film in iTunes on the computer to the Apple TV either via home sharing or by selecting the Apple TV as a monitor/speaker in iTunes.

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The same way you share a non-shared library. If it isn't working check that you have the content checked in iTunes Preferences > general > Show.

    Is there any app that allows me to control the cell phone from the computer with the mouse?

    No this is not possible.
    But you could use the iPhone Simulator of Xcode if you have access to an Mac. Like the name explains, it simulates an iPhone on an Mac, but you cannot use all standard apps

    Thanks for replying. The plan you have it would be an additional charge to add the hotspot feature. It's not free with the Nationwide plan. You would need to add the feature online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon
