Using internet from my mac to power other things....

so i have a wireless router downstairs and i dont want to buy a $100 connector for my xbox right next to my macbook... so i want to know if there is some way where i can take ethernet from my xbox and plug it into my macbook and receive internet( since the macbook is wireless) also my friend does this but with a different computer with windows.
any help at all would greatly be appriciated!

I tried this http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/358
it didn't work for me but I think that was because of my faulty ethernet cable but most of the people who used it said it works

How do I change the default folder that opens when uploading a file to the internet from my mac? (at the moment it automatically defaults to 'Downloads' folder)
For example...
I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.

Finder opens and defaults to 'Downloads' folder (it happens with all wesbites)
How do I change this?

You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.

My server is unreachable until I use internet from it

Hello, I have LAMP server on Archlinux.
I installed many power management tools, because I want to have my server power efficient and its almost all the time in idle.
I cant connect to my webpage or SSH until I use internet from the server. When I do for example ping www.google.com, then I can connect to my server.
Can somebody help me to fix it?
And I have another issue.
I dont know, how to add user in vsftpd. I am able only to log in anonymously, which is useless and dangerous.

So, look at the situation from the point of view of the router.
One of its ports has no carrier, so it knows there is nothing attached there.
Without warning, a carrier comes up on that port, but, unbeknownst to the router, the device attached set its own address (that would be your server). The router has no way to know the server's address.
Later, a packet comes for the server, and the router does a NAT to a local address, but it does not see anything attached that has that address, so it drops the packet.
Then, the server comes along and tries to access the internet. Your server sends a packet that has its address. The router takes note of that and adds that IP to its routing tables so that it knows to find your server on the port from which the packet arrived.
Finally, another packet arrives from the Internet, this time, the router knows how to find your server.

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but no hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.

This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.

Cannot connect to the internet from my MAC on WRT160Nv2 - no problems connecting from my PC

Hi,
I have just bought a WRT160Nv2, but I am having problems connecting to the internet from my MAC (a powerbook with OS X) when I connect to the router wirelessly. If I try from my PC the Internet works fine. Also if I connect the MAC directly to the routers LAN port, the Internet works.
When I connect wirelessly from the MAC I do get an IP adress, and I am able to access the routers web configuration page. I can also see that the correct DNS gets assigned, so I am low on suggestions to what could be the problem.
Currently I have the router set up to WPA2 encryption, but I have tried different settings, e.g. no security at all with the same result.
I just tried upgrading to the newest firmware (WRT160Nv2_v2.0.02_008), also with no luck.
Also I should mention that the MAC can connect to other wireless connections without problems, e.g. my previous ZyXel DSL router.
Any ideas to what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Rasmus

Well maybe WPA2 Security is not compatible with Mac so change the Security mode to WEP or WPA and prepare security key of 10 digit password and while connecting to the wireless network on Mac type a $ sign first followed by the 10 digit passoword and it should work.

Well I have a question. Why my New iPad is so hot within 30 minutes.i used internet from wifi and playing game 3d or 2d . It's appear after I upgrade to IOS6. Why?

It's normal for the iPad or any similar device to get warm when it's under heavy load. If it gets too warm, it will shut itself off and show a disabled message.
Take a look at this Apple doc -> Phone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
If you believe it's hotter than normal, make a reservation with a Genius.

My windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

Can I use Airplay from my Mac to AppleTV

i'm interesting in streaming some TV shows to my apple tv from a browser. i can do it from my iphone with no probelm, but can't seem to figure out how to do it from my Mac.
I have a 2.66 Hgz Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro running OS X Version 10.8.4

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

Data transfer using EDI from one SAP system to other SAP system

Dear all,
I understand that i should use normal ale-idoc features to transfer data from one sap to other sap system.
but can i transfer those idocs using EDI from one SAP to other SAP system

Hello,
surely you can do so.
EDI means that you transfer data in standardized EDI-formats. To get the data at the source into that formats you normally use an EDI-Converter, which maps the IDOC-format into the EDI-format. Then you send the data in EDI-format to an EDI-converter at the target. There's the reverse mapping. You map the EDI-Format into IDOC-format and book these IDOCs into SAP.
I think this makes only sense if you cross organizational borders within the business process, e.g., if you define an exchange with many customers, but not all of them have an SAP-system.

Can you get and use internet explorer for mac?

I am wondering If I can obtain and use internet explorer?

No
Safari or Firefox are the optimal choices. At times Safari does not open links with smooth pagination of fonts and lettering / graphics are not clear. So I opt for Firefox. Be aware that you need to close Safari to use Firefox. It has been my experience.that if I forget to close Safari and open Firefox at same time Firefox error message says oops! We need to reset or can't open try again.

How to use value from one data set in other data set SQL select.

Hello all, i have one data set, and i need to get value from that data set into other data set. Something like '?' but without input. I will try to explain it with screenshots:

If both tables come from the same data source, join the two tables in one data set rather than two as shown. If they are from different data sources, use a 'join data set'

I have 2 macbooks using airport. I can send emails from 1 mac to the other but not vice versa. Any ideas why?

When we set up the airport we used to be able to send emails from my macbook to my husband's macbook and vice versa but can't now. We have different email addresses and it was convenient to be able to forward emails etc. Can anyone tell me if it is the airport or the way we have our macs set up. Thank you.

I really don't think it's the router. Most likely, it will have to do with the email client that you are using on each of your Macs. Unless you are running an eMail server on your local network, both of your eMail clients are using mail servers on the Internet.
If you are both using OS X Mail, you may want to post in that forum area as well to see if the Mail experts over there can help.
