Who is connected via internet sharing?

How do you view who is connected to your wifi via internet sharing? I had to get rid of the password in order to get internet sharing to work with my other devices.

Jimbo:
One way is to use Network Utility (Applications/Utilities). Click on the Netstat tab then select "Display routing table information." Next click the oval "Netstat" button to run it and down the left column of information you should see the names and MAC addresses of any connected computers.

  • Can't see printer or shares when connected via Internet Sharing

    I recently switched from a 2006 to a 2008 Mac Pro. Rather than do a migration I simply took the hard drives from the old machine and put them in the new one.
    I then upgraded to Mountain Lion.
    I use Internet Sharing to share my Mac Pro's Ethernet connection via wifi, but the other Macs can't see the Mac Pro's printer or shares when connected in this way. They can access the internet. If I connect a machine via the LAN rather than Internet Sharing, the shares and printer are visible.
    This worked fine on Lion on the old machine. Any ideas?

    Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

  • Accessing Server when only connected via Internet Sharing

    Currently, I don't have the ability to directly connect my Mac Pro which I use as a Server to the router as I have no direct access to it via cable and it does not have an Airport card.
    However, I can access the internet on it if I use internet sharing on my iMac which is connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the Mac Pro at all times.
    In order to use any of the services such as Time Machine from another machine, I always need to connect it directly by cable. This leaves me wondering if there is a way to tunnel the Mac Pro through the iMac so it is accessible via Wifi? Is there a setting on either Machine I have to activate / set to make this work?
    It is only thought to be a temporary solution until I move to a new flat where it will be directly connected to an Airport Extreme.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Connecting ipod touch to internet via internet sharing

    My MacPro was connected to the internet. My ipod touch showed that it was connected to the MacPro via internet sharing, but I could not get the ipod to complete the connection to the internet. I selected "Allow all incoming connections" in the MacPro system preferences>security>firewall and the ipod could see the internet. Success.

    If we wanted to open only individual ports (or a range of ports) rather than disabling the whole firewall, which ports would we leave open?
    TIA,

  • Connect via internet NW2004s ABAP Edition

    Hi guys,
    I installed the abap version. It works fine from my local PC, but now I want to connect via internet to my PC at home. I configured a dyndns service and I am also able to reach my PC, but when I try to connect to the SAP system I get an error no 10061, saying "WSAECONNREFUSED connection refused". Am I not allowed to connect because it's a trial version, or do I have to change some settings?
    Kind Regards
    Stefan

    For anyone who's interested I solved this by:
    - Edit the Phone number for the bluetooth Modem and entering *99#
    - For the modem, setting it's Maximum speed to the highest. In my case it was 921600.
    - Go into Control Panel - Phone and Modem Options - Modems - Select Bluetooth Modem - Properties - Advanced tab and enter at+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”internet”
    Dial the connection by going into My Bluetooth Places and double clicking on the icon. When prompted enter a blank userid and password. It should then connect to the Internet via your mobile !

  • Proxy via Internet Sharing

    Hello, Apple Communities.
    I am having some problems with proxy setting.
    I contacted Apple about it, and they couldn't give me any solution,
    So I was wondering is there anyone who can figure it out.
    I am trying to use proxy, via internet sharing.
    Which means, I would like keep the proxy setting universal through out internet sharing.
    For instance, if I use internet on my iPhone through my mac(=internet sharing), I wish my iphone on proxy.
    But apparently the proxy setting,
    actually all sercutiy settings are not shared on internet sharing.
    Is there anyway to fix this?

    My only advice would be to buy a router like the airport extreme.

  • I can't download apps to my iPad via Internet sharing (Lion) anymore

    I always use my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard to share my Internet connection with my iPad 2. However, since I upgraded to Lion, my iPad 2 can't seem to download apps thru Internet Sharing anymore. If I use our office WiFi, the App download works fine. But when I connect using Internet Sharing again, it doesn't download the apps.
    Interestingly, all my other apps (in the iPad) that require internet connectivity works really well. Only the app store can't download, it surfs really fast though when I want to view an app. ONLY the download is not working right.
    Any thoughts?

    Close all the apps in the recents tray on your iPad, reboot again, and see if that solves either problem.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Since it will not hurt anything, you could try resetting your router as well. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Can't connect to internet sharing

    Ever since updating to Mountain Lion on my iMac, I can't connect to internet sharing with my iPad 3.    Does anyone know how to get it to work?  I just get the message 'Unable to join the network 'xxxx'.
    I've tried setting up new networks, I've tried it with and without passwords, restarted both machines, and it still won't work. 
    However, my iphone4 connects OK.  Anyone else having this issue with the iPad 3?
    Thanks
    Bob

    It's so simple to setup and you have been using it in the past, but just in case, this is Apple' kb article about Internet sharing with Mountain Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740?viewlocale=en_US
    Have you rebooted your router or cable modem? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and plug it in again.
    You might be better off posting in the Mountain Lion forum if you haven't already done so.

  • Mac pro no longer connects to web via internet sharing

    My Mac Pro does not have an airport card so I have often used a PowerBook G4 or MacBook Pro to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet. A few months ago this method began failing but I was able to share a connection via firewire. Now I am not able to do either.
    I have attempted to use both the mbp and the pbg4 to no avail using both ethernet and firewire for days, employing various troubleshooting methods including zapping PRAM, repairing permissions, and dumping network cache. I've tried static IP addresses and manual setups. The mac pro shows that it is connected to a network and displays all the proper IP information but is unable to load a web page and the diagnostics window shows an ISP, server, and internet failure regardless of any changes I make to network settings on it or the mbp/pbg4. Meanwhile, the laptops are connected to the internet just fine and are able to share a connection with each other.
    What can I do to make my tower susceptible to internet sharing once again?

    Your local LAN runs through your router.
    All your ethernet  ports, and your modem and router, should be behind and filtered from excess current. That means a UPS generally. And run input line thru UPS (coax) first, then run RJ45 back through UPS again (there can still be excess surge or current on the line).
    Modems and routers can be compromised by surge outage or storm. So can ethernet  ports.
    You have two ethernet ports and you tried with both also.
    What you did not do that I would have added is SMC Reset / Reset NVRAM/PRAM.
    This is what I have had for the last year, very nice and stronger  signals thruout the house.

  • Can't connect ipad to Mountain Lion iMac via Internet sharing?

    Hello,
    I've always used Internet Sharing to create a wifi hotspot from my iMac, so that I can get an internet connection on my iPad.  After updating to Mountain Lion this does not seem to work.  Anyone know how?
    The hotspot generated by my iMac's internet sharing has never worked with my Kindle, but I would at least expect it to work with Apple's own products.  Hoepfully someone knows a solution?
    Thanks

  • Connect to internet sharing via nintendo ds

    So I am trying to connect a nintendo DS to my macs internet sharing twhich is coming from ethernet and being shared to computers using wi-fi
    I found these online and followed the steps
    Turn on Internet Sharing:
    Go to System Preferences, click on the Sharing icon, then click on the Internet tab.
    Change the Share your connection from: pop-up to 'Built-in Ethernet.'
    Under the To computers using section, check the AirPort box.
    Click Airport options...Enter an easy name such as nds. Leave all the security options blank -- implementing security is an exercise left to the reader -- then click OK.
    Click Start in the Internet Sharing panel.
    For sharing internet access with other computers, this is usually sufficient. However, the DS doesn't play well with the built-in DHCP server, so we have to manually configure the DS. To do this we, must gather some info...
    Gather Information:
    Open Terminal.app and type ifconfig en1. In the output...
    Look for: inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask ...
    Take note the IP Address (the x's) associated with the first inet (mine was 10.0.2.1; yours may be different).
    Type dig. Near the bottom of this output will be SERVER: followed by an IP address. This will be the DNS server you will use for your DS.
    Configure the DS:
    Edit your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings from within a compatible game.
    Select a connection to edit.
    Choose Manual Setup.
    Enter the following parameters:
    SSID: nds (or whatever you chose in step one)
    Auto-obtain IP Address: No
    IP Address: Take the first IP Address you obtained earlier, and make the last digit bigger. i.e., mine could be 10.0.2.4
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: The first IP Address, unchanged. (e.g. 10.0.2.1)
    Auto-obtain DNS: No
    Primary DNS: your DNS SERVER from the earlier dig output.
    Test your connection at the top of the screen. You should have no problem connecting.
    That's it, now just have fun!
    I followed them exactly and when typing in ifconfig en1 I get this:
    Router:~ connorwillimas$ ifconfig en1
    en1: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
      ether 7c:d1:c3:6b:bc:38
      inet 10.2.31.28 netmask 0xfffff000 broadcast 10.2.31.255
      media: autoselect
      status: active

    I entered all the information correctly into my DS and then I get error code 51300 and when the ds says testing connection there is no signal strength in the top right corner but when i found the connection using the find an access point it shows that there is full signal strength. How can i get the DS to realze there is a signal strength when i do this manually or automatically?

    The iPhone does not support tethering - at the present time anyway, which means using the iPhone as a modem for internet access with a computer, and the same in reverse - using a computer's internet connection to connect to the internet with the iPhone.

  • How do you access a machine connected to network via internet sharing?

    I have a G5 which shares its airport connection via its ethernet connection with an iMac. Now I'd like to access the iMac from a MacBook Pro which has a wireless connection. Is this at all possible? Right now the G5 and iMac know about each other as do the MacBook and iMac. But the iMac and MacBook don't seem to have a connection. Do I have to do something on the G5 so the iMac and MacBook are known to each other?

    Well it seems I missed the response when it occurred. Need to check my notification settings. Any way, to answer and summarize:
    1. Yes the G5 had a wireless connection to an Airport.
    2. The G5 was connected via an ethernet cable to the iMac
    3. I worded the connections wrong. I meant to say the g5 and macbook know about each other as do the g5 and iMac. But not the macbook and iMac. Know about each other in the sense that they could be references like g5.local or imac.local.
    4. I couldn't get the macbook to find a route to the imac through the g5.
    In the end I decided what I was doing was stupid, and just put the iMac back on the wireless network so it was universally visible.

  • VCN only while connected via internet address?

    I have scoured all the posts here, and searched every phrase I could think of, and read the manual to find the information I am seeking, but I cannot seem to find an answer. I have found similar posts/complaints but no solutions.
    I have ARD 3 on my MacBook Pro, and I use it from my office to assist my wife, who works at home, and my mother, who lives in Canada.
    My wife's PowerBook is correctly configured in the System Preferences > Sharing > Services pane. She is on a fixed 10.x.x.x IP address behind and Apple Airport Extreme, with ports 8283 and 5900 forwarded correctly to her machine.
    My mother has a cable modem (COGECO cable, Canada), fixed IP address, an NO router.
    In both cases, firewalls are disabled on their machines.
    In ARD, I can see both machines by their DNS names in the list. Status says "offline", but if I open either of them, I see their screens and am able to rudimentarily control both machines. What I cannot do is any of the other Management tasks, like System Reports, client Upgrades, etc.
    Is there something inherent in ARD 3 that forces machines connected over the Internt (vs. LAN) to only be controllable in VNC mode? Or am I missing something here?
    One question: in the client computers, should the System Preferences > Sharing > Services > ARD > VNC viewers may control screen with password, be checked or unchecked, and does it matter if I am logging into the machines via an admin account I created on both?
    Thanks in advance for any useful tips!

    Kevin,
    it appears to me ... though I am a *total amateur* and only know what I've gleaned from these boards and the net in order to setup ARD for myself ... that for those using Airport networks (lots of us) it is necessary to manually open ports 3283, 5900 in the Sharing preferences under Firewall. If not, the traffic doesn't pass ... even on a LAN. So, you need to add a New configuration in the Firewall tab. (IOW it is NOT enough to simply select ARD in the "Services" tab).
    This appears to me to be the problem with VNC over the net ... although I'm not sure that it's a problem really.
    I have ARD 3 internet connections working on 3 locations. All of them behind Airport networks. When connected, "VNC On" appears under the "Current Status" tab in ARD 3.
    I'm not sure if I'm connecting via VNC or not. I say this because, VNC has only been initiated remotely via "Change Client Settings" in the Manage Menu. It has NOT been set in the Sharing preferences on the client Mac. So ... is it ON or not??
    Or ... am I getting a VNC connection because port 5900 is available and necessary due to it having been opened to accomodate the Airport network ? IOW ... is ARD 3 simply taking the route of least resistance ?
    My own questions at this point are ...
    1/ Does it matter ?
    2/ Is VNC, in my case, less secure than a 'direct' ARD connection?
    3/ Is VNC faster or slower than a 'direct' ARD commection?
    4/ Are there things that I CANNOT do with VNC that I can do with a 'direct' ARD connection?
    5/ Would Ports 22 and 5988 help? (I've seen these mentioned in archived threads).
    Grant
    (P.S. ... many thanks to those who contribute on this board. I know how frustrating it is trying to communicate this sort of thing to the uninitiated).

  • IMac creating VPN for ATV 2 via Internet Sharing...

    Apologies for the complex nature of this problem/question. Any guidance you (the great and the good of the Apple eco-system) can offer will be gratefully received.
    First up, most of what I set out below works fine. Or should I say, it all works fine, but intermittently fails on me. And I realise it's possibly a 'home network configuration' issue, but I'd still appreciate someone with the requisite skills checking this over....
    The following feature in my set up, all running latest software versions:
    1. a late 2012 iMac running Mountain Lion.
    2. an Apple TV 2.
    3. a first generation Time Capsule.
    4. a Strong VPN account.
    5. an ADSL modem / router.
    As it stands:
    the Time Capsule is connected to the ADSL modem via Ethernet.
    the ADSL modem / router is configured as DHCP.
    the ADSL modem / router is configured to provide a 802.11g network - SLOWNET
    the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge mode.
    the Time Capsule is configured to provide a 802.11n WiFi network - FASTNET
    the iMac is connected to the Time Capsule via Ethernet.
    the iMac is configured to establish a VPN connection.
    the iMac is configured to create a WiFi network - VPNNET
    the VPN connection is shared using 'Internet Sharing' to users of VPNNET.
    Apple TV connects to VPNNET.
    All works, and all is well. EXCEPT:
    1. regularly ATV loses the connection to VPNNET, usually when it (ATV) hasn't been used for a while, hence VPNNET likely to have been disconnected / reconnected since ATV last accessed it. Having lost the network connection, it can take over one hour to get it back. Sometimes it can't see VPNNET, sometimes it connects but can't see the Internet - and occasionally  I've changed DNS server address in ATV to Google (8.8.8.8) and it kicked it back into life.
    2. Home Sharing on ATV doesn't work when it's connected to VPNNET - I have to connect to FASTNET to get it to work.
    So the questions I have are:
    1. How should DHCP be set up on my network, Time Capsule, modem / router, doesn't matter? What about on the iMac for VPNNET?
    2. Is there a way to configure the above kit, and have the VPN and Home Sharing working at the same time?
    3. Where / How should DNS be configured in my set up?
    As I write this down I'm forced to  acknowledge just how involved it is, and don't hold out much hope of someone coming along with a simple "change these settings and problem over" solution - but I can live in hope!
    Thanks for reading to the end.

  • IPad 2 connection through internet sharing

    This may be answered somewhere else on the discussions, but I would like some assistance in connecting an iPad 2 to the internet through an iMac that is connected through an Alltel wireless card.  In the iMac, I've turned Internet Sharing on, and the airport is also on.  What am I missing ? ? ?   Or is it not possible ? ? ?

    Jack:
    I wrote this on an earlier thread and it seemed to help another user so give it a try. Bold type is specific to you. Ignore anything you already know. I'm not sure if you can share the connection from a wireless connection (you CAN share from ethernet) but these are the steps and it may work.
    OK if you selected Internet Sharing on the Mac you must also select
    Share your Connection from - Ethernet (select ethernet) I think you would choose the Airport option since your are using a wireless card
    To Computers Using - Airport (your iPad is the computer using Airport in this case)
    Then you may have to select the Internet Sharing option again - put a checkmark in the box
    Then go to Security in your preferences and select Firewall - turn off the Firewall to allow incoming connections to your Mac
    Make sure you have Airport enabled on your Mac and go up to the Airport icon at the top of the screen, click on it, and drop down to select - Create Network. A box will come up and it should offer your computer's name as the default network name. You can name the network whatever you like. Then create a password.
    This should be what you need to do to get connected. Once you do all of the steps on the Mac, reboot your iPad, go to Settings>WiFi>Network and select your new network.
