[SOLVED]Wifi sharing over ethernet cable doesn't work Gnome 3.16.1

Hi I wanted to share my Wifi from my laptop to another Pc via ethernet cable. On Gnome versions older than 3.14, that was pretty simple. Now I tried this solution and this.
None works. I know my cable works as it worked perfectly on previously installed Arch Linux systems and I tested just now on my Windows 7 system. Just on my Gnome 3.16 system it doesn't.
Any solution for this ?

Someone who uses gnome MAY pop in, but really this is an issue with how gnome works (and when) so you may have to go to them (gnome's official support outlet) to get answers as to why its not working.... I do seem to remember seeing a post very similar to this with gnome, so maybe its some kind of bug right now? Perhaps check their bug reports?
Fortunately, all its likely doing is settings things up for you... And you can do that yourself. Check out the wiki (should be step number one when trying to get ANYTHING to work with arch), https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_sharing

  • Internet not working - wifi connected but internet and server fail, ethernet cable doesn't work either

    All of a sudden the internet on our Macbook Pro does not work.  We connect through an Airport Extreme and other mac works fine.  It shows that wifi is fully connected but when i go to diagnostics, i see the internet and server are failing.  I tried connecting an ethernet cable and it doesn't work that way either.  Have restarted and reset modem and router, nothing is working… help!

    Hi ehamzic1,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand how frustrating it can be when your computer cannot connect to the internet. In your situation, you will need to isolate to find what is causing the issues connecting. I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article. The article should help you troubleshoot and resolve this situation.

  • HT5219 Thunderbolt port devices and ethernet cables doesn't work under Windows 7 or 8 via Boot Camp unless I restart my computer... how are the apple developers so dump to not realize this mistake

    How can you not resolve a problem so essentail related to swapping thunderbolt devices when running bootcamp? Everytime I diconnect a thunderbolt device, I have to restart in bootcamp for the mackbook pro to recognize it. Considering that I apid ~$3K for this laptop when I could have got a dell for half the price, it such a poor technology. How can apple developers be so dump that they didn't design a drive to resolve the issue... and to make it even more dumber, they acknowledge it ... hello any one with brains after steve jobbs passed away there!!!

    I don't have a Thunderbolt machine but according to this article, Windows doesn't support Thunderbolt at all. That means Apple had to add Thunderbolt support in order for it to work even as it does. How would a Dell have solved your problem?

  • Cross over ethernet cables?

    When connecting a G4 power mac to Mac Pro, is a cross over ethernet cable still needed?
    Thanks

    Hi-
    For your MDD?
    No.
    Any G4 tower later than a Sawtooth doesn't need a crossover cable.

  • I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

  • Upgraded to iOS6 and now charging cable doesn't work

    I just upgraded to iOS6 n my iPhone 4, and now my charging cable doesn't work.  No...it's not an "official" Apple charger, but even the usb cable doesn't work when I plug it into my computer.  If I plug my iPad charger into it, it works fine.  How can the new operating system determine what kind of usb charging cable it "wants" to accept?  This charger and cable worked flawlessly before the OS upgrade.

    Same problem here. I use a wall charger and have had success by unplugging the charger from the wall, plugging the adapter into the iPhone, then plugging charger back into wall. Had the same problem with a car charger and got the phone to charge using the same procedure. I'd love to know if this works for you. Good luck!

    Try updating the carrier settings, if that doesn't do it try following along with this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot

  • If my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    if my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    I had a lightning cable, that came with my iPhone 5s, that frayed and broke at the connector.  I took the cable and phone into the Apple Store and they exchanged the cable for a new one with not a question asked.  Good experience.
    I think part of it is that the design of the Apple cables is quite flimsy especially at the connector and I think they see a lot of them fail.

    It's covered under the same warranty as the phone. So long as it's not physically damaged, they should replace it for you.

  • My mini Ipad says I haven't backed it up to iCloud for 2 weeks.  Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locks, and connected to wifi.  The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!!

    The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!!  I have it pluggled into my computer but apparently it isn't backing up since nothing has changed.  it is unuseable!

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

    I have exactly the same issue and it is INFURIATING. I have done several factory resets. reinstalled iTunes, pretty much everything as above. Hours and hours of failed trial and error. I can get one proper sync. ONE. If I'm lucky, by wiping everything. Then will iTunes update reliably? NO. Exactly the above issue. (including huge "other" files from some of the failed syncs.)
    Iphone 6, latest updates. Latest OS X, latest iTunes. This problem started in the last week or so with my iPhone 5 before I upgraded a few weeks ago. It has to be an issue with the new iTunes and its (in)ability to do proper syncing.
