Trouble enabling internet sharing on my server

I'm setting up my first server (10.4 on a mac pro).
Under Sharing Prefs, I can't find the tab that I would normally use to enable internet sharing.
I'd like our external internet line to go into Ethernet1 and our network switch to plug into Ethernet2.
Thanks!

I guess he meant to give this link :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c1gs9.html
Also setup DNS in the server and use that for LAN clients or you probably will have to change firewall settings to allow the use of a public DNS to-from LAN.

  • Enabling 'Internet Sharing' disables my internet connection

    Hi all, my desktop computer (iMac 27") is hooked up to the internet via ethernet cable/modem. Very simple configuration. I normally share the internet connection (password protected) that my other devices access via wifi.
    For months this has been working just fine. today I've been having connectivity issues. I worked with my cable company to determine the issue. what finally solved it was disabling wifi, shutting down the modem & computer. Then boot the modem, afterwards boot the computer.
    This worked great, I saw everything working in Network Diagnostics...
    Then, I re-enabled Internet Sharing, with the same settings I've used for months, and I saw the connection disappear immediately in Network Diagnostics (Ethernet & Network Settings were green, all else red).
    Rebooting the router didn't work. Restarting the computer with with wifi enabled didn't work. I had to disable wifi, turn off everything, boot modem, boot computer to get it to work again. Any time afterwards, where I enabled Internet Sharing the connection would break again.
    Please help! Thanks!

  • Unable to establish TCP connection when enabling internet sharing (Phone acting as hotspot)

    I have developed a small .NET Desktop application which hosts a TCP service. In addition, it sends UDP Multicasts to anounce that service.
    Service consumer is a Phone 8.1 app, which listens for these UDP multicasts and when it receives such a multicast, it creates a TCP connection to the service.
    The following snippet shows how the Phone 8.1 app listens for UDP packets and then connects via TCP
    const string UdpPort = "42";
    const string TcpPort = "43";
    const string MultiCastIp = "224.5.6.7";
    const int TimeoutForServerLookup = 10000;
    //-- listen for UDP multicasts
    HostName hostNameOfServer = null;
    var udp = new DatagramSocket();
    var clientFound = false;
    udp.MessageReceived += delegate(DatagramSocket sender, DatagramSocketMessageReceivedEventArgs args)
    try
    hostNameOfServer = args.RemoteAddress;
    catch (Exception ex)
    s_Log.Error("Error in handling UDP packet", ex);
    await udp.BindServiceNameAsync(UdpPort);
    udp.JoinMulticastGroup(new HostName(MultiCastIp));
    var waitedTimeInMs = 0;
    const int delayInMs = 250;
    while (waitedTimeInMs < TimeoutForServerLookup && hostNameOfServer == null)
    waitedTimeInMs += delayInMs;
    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(delayInMs));
    udp.Dispose();
    //-- we now have the adress of the TCP server (hostNameOfServer)
    //-- connect now to the server. this works when being in a "normal" WLAN, does not work when the phone is the hotspot
    var socket = new StreamSocket();
    await socket.ConnectAsync(hostNameOfServer, TcpPort);
    This works well when the Desktop computer and the Windows Phone 8.1 are within the same WLAN. For some customers it is important that this also works when the Windows Phone 8.1 acts as hotspot (by enabling internet sharing on the phone) and the desktop computer
    (or Laptop) connects itself to this WLAN. In this scenario the Phone 8.1 still receives the UDP packets, but when trying to connect via TCP, the connection attempt fails.
    Any ideas how to get rid of this problem?

    Have you tracked down if the phone actually sends the TCP connection to the desktop? I'm feeling that this is a firewall issue that shows itself when the firewall zone changes (public/private/domain).

  • Can't enable Internet Sharing on my phone

    Hello,
    I have a Nokia Lumia 920 and every time I try to enable Internet Sharing I get the message: "internet sharing isn't currently available". I tried several things for a week now and I can't seem to find a solution. It's really frustrating.
    Here's what I have done:
    Took the SIM card off the phone and placed it on an Android phone.   Enabled HotSpot and tested it with NO problems.   This means my carrier supports tethering or sharing internet connections
    Back on the Lumia 920 I tried lots of things, specially the trick explained in this forum, which is creating a new APN in the "access point" section, activating it, rebooting, and then re-activating the old APN.    Didn't work. 
    I have also searched for an APN inside the CELLULAR section (in order to delete it),  but I found only the Active network and no APNs over there
    I have deleted all APNs inside the "access point" section, rebooted, and found the phone can still connect and navigate the internet even when there are NO APNs created at all!  In this particular scenario I tried to enable Internet Sharing and nothing.
    Please any hint or lead will be greatly appreciated.  It's very frustrating.  
    Thanks.

    McClausky, if your Wi-Fi is enabled and your are not in flight-mode: Please, give us the name of your network operator and that 7-letter code on the label on your phone (product-code). Perhaps it is the combination of both which creates this trouble. Are you connected to another Wi-Fi while starting the Internet sharing feature?

  • Cannot enable Internet Sharing on ATT Lumia 900 du...

    I have a Lumia 900 in the US.  It was only sold by ATT in the US.  I however am not with ATT, I'm with Straight Talk, an MVNO.  When I try to enable Internet Sharing on the phone it pops up a message saying I need to contact ATT.  I have no business relationship with ATT and they cannot help me.  I would like to remove this message so I can get Internet Sharing working on my phone.  The phone is unlocked, but that didn't seem to make the message go away.

    Ok after feeling very positive that this was now going to work I can report that my call 611 ATT notification is now back and the internet sharing does not seem to want to be available.
    Other observations that are worth noting.
    1) You need to configure the internet APN using Nokia Network Setup with the fast.t-mobile.com and the MMS with the epc.t-mobile.com or the internet connection cuts out every time you hit LTE speeds. So thats only three entries required in the config the last being the MMSC address available on the T-mobile site.
    I am enjoying my handset on T-mobile with the internet speeds, I would still like to use the internet sharing so I will continue to drill down and look or a way around the issue.

  • Difficulties enabling internet sharing

    For months I've been having problems enabling internet sharing from my ethernet sharing over airport. Everything appears to be configured correctly, and when I check the "Internet Sharing" box in System Preferences > Sharing, the green dot is displayed next to Internet Sharing: On, but system.log shows:
    Jul 2 09:41:42 Musa com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.InternetSharing[7708]): Exited with exit code: 1
    Jul 2 09:41:42 Musa com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.InternetSharing): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
    A workaround that worked in perhaps 50% of cases was to make sure that Airport was off, and then check Internet Sharing, enable Airport when asked to, and finally click "start" when asked "Are you sure you want to turn on internet sharing?"
    But this works less and less frequently.
    Any advice that could be offered would be appreciated.

    The fix was to erase my hard disk and restore a cloned backup.

  • Internet Sharing 10.8 Server Doesn't Start

    I have upgraded to 10.8 ML + Server from 10.7.
    Wireless internet (4G) is managed using AirCard Watcher on directIP interface (en6).
    Internet Sharing is ON
         Share your connection from direct IP
          To computers using Ethernet
    I am expecting the server to act as a DHCP server.  Articles elsewhere suggest this will happen (eg http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5412)
    But in /etc/bootpd.plist this looks wrong:
    mini:etc charlie$ more bootpd.plist
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict/>
    </plist>
    Where is the rest of it?
    This is basically doing nothing?
    Toggling "Internet Sharing" in the sharing pane makes /etc/bootpd.plist disappear.
    What is going on?!

    DHCP is now in 10.8.2/Server 2.1.0 as an explicit setting.
    When you select 'Internet Sharing' (System Preferences-Sharing) it automatically configures 192.168.2/24 DHCP network.
    But NAT still doesn't seem to be working. 
    Clients are appearing in the client list.  IP addresses seem to be assigned ok looking directly on each device.
    But when you try to access a URL from any of the connected devices it just times out.
    How can you jig about with NAT at command line?
    OR
    How can you tell if NAT is working otherwise?
    Here is the bootpd.plist file contents (which now seem to be created successfully).

  • HINT: Turn off Firewall to enable Internet Sharing

    it only took 2 hours of trial and error, but I am finally able to access the internet from my iPhone via my father's iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, purchased in May 2009).
    turn OFF the Firewall!
    setup:
    iPhone 3.1.2
    iMac 10.6.2
    Internet Sharing On: From ethernet, To Airport
    cheers.
    (keywords: iPhone, Internet Sharing, Snow Leopard, Airport, Firewall)

    mmm... I had actually edited my original post but it didn't stick.
    rather than turn off the Firewall (not ideal as the man from Virginia has rightfully pointed out), turn off the "Block all incoming connections" option in Advanced options.
    cheers.

  • Internet Sharing on MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion

    I am having trouble enabling internet sharing on my macbook pro with os x mountain lion, version 10.8.3. My computer is connected to the internet from an ethernet cord, and I want to share the connection with my iphone wirelessly. I have tried going to system preferences > sharing > internet sharing. From here I chose "Ethernet" from the dropdown menu "Share your connection from." I chose "Wi-Fi" from the ports options under "To computers using." (AirPort is NOT an option listed under the ports menu). When I then check the internet sharing box to enable the sharing, a message pops up saying "To share your Internet connection, you must turn on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is turned off." Obviously, I don't have Wi-Fi, so I can't do this. How do I fix this problem?? Please help!!

    No, I don't have Wi-Fi. There is no Wi-Fi in this building. If there were, I wouldn't need to share my internet through the ethernet cord.

  • Weird system log error when internet sharing is enabled

    When I enable internet sharing, my system log starts to fill up with messages like this:

  • OSX 10.6.8 and Internet Sharing to Ethernet

    I am trying to set up Internet Sharing so that I can connect my old MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 via ethernet to another device - I'm trying with xbox360 and Sony Blu Ray (BPD-S185) (for diversity of devices - I used to have it working on my xbox, but really want it working with the blu ray player but the network status feedback is better for problem solving on the xbox!).
    I have my MBP connected to my home network over Airport which has the following details:
    - IP: 192.168.1.5
    - Router IP: 192.168.1.1
    I have then enabled Internet Sharing through System Preferences to share my Airport connection to my Ethernet connection.
    I have the following Ethernet settings:
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP with manual address
    - (Ethernet) IP address: 192.168.2.1
    - Subnet Mask: (blank - not user accessable, changes to 255.255.255.0 when xbox turned on)
    - Router: (blank - not user accessable)
    - DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
    - Search Domains: (left blank)
    On the xbox I've set the network settings to:
    - IP: 192.168.2.2
    - Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    - Gateway: 192.168.2.1
    - Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1
    - Secondary DNS: 192.168.2.1
    When I then select 'Test my Xbox Live Connection'  it takes a while, the Network status shows 'Connected', however The Internet Failed.  I am informed that the 'Test Failed' and 'more information' tells me I have an 'Internet Error' with the following Status codes:
    W: 0000-000B
    X: 0000-000D
    Y: 0000-0000
    Z: 0000-0000
    ID0004-000
    L: 0015-10F1
    Q: 8007-0435
    T: Wired
    A: 192.168.2.2/255.255.255.0
    G: 192.168.2.1
    D: 192.168.1.1/192.168.2.1
    So, it looks as though the problem lies with the MBP and internet sharing on OSX.  I have extra suspicions that this is the problem, as connecting my Blu Ray player to my MBP via ethernet I also get a successful connection to the network, but no internet access.
    Pleeeeease can someone help?!?!  This is driving me nuts - a couple of years ago I had internet sharing working to let my xbox connect to the internet, so what's happened in the last few years to mean this won't work?

    If you want to back it up there, use the Disk Utility to create a disk image of it.
    If you want to import its contents to iMovie, iTunes, or elsewhere, use MPEG Streamclip and Apple's MPEG-2 playback component to convert the VOB files on it to a different format.
