Tried sharing my internet connection to an Asus M5000... the Asus detects the signal, but can't acquire an IP address. Has anyone experienced this? How'd you resolve the problem?
Re: MBP Internet Sharing How come Windows laptop's can't connect to my WiFi connection? My iMac is connected to the internet via ethernet and I share my connection via airport. I my iBook has no problem connecting, but for I can't with Windows. They are able to detect the WiFi signal, but can't connect. How do I resolve this?
Re: MBP Internet Sharing oh, i'm using APE to broadcast the connection. my quick fix was to disable wireless security whenever i have the Asus laptop in my office (which is not very often). with wireless security enabled, how do i add a user to the network (the Asus laptop)?
Re: MBP Internet Sharing You might have to enter the HEX equivalent of your password on the Windows laptop. Use this WEP ASCII-Hex Converter.
Re: MBP Internet Sharing update: entered the HEX values in the Asus and now it works! Patrick, i didn't need to use WEP ASCII-HEX Converter. All I did was got the values found in AP Admin Utility and entered it on the Asus. Thanks!
Re: MBP Internet Sharing mods, i think the title of the thread is misleading (might be more appropriate if "Internet Sharing w/ APE) ... i don't know how to edit the title of the thread...
Re: MBP Internet Sharing Hi waffycasem, Can you both use your internet connection at the same time? I just got my APX and I can't make it work simultaneously (my wired e-mac and my PB15), One has to give. Anyone out there that can help? Tried searching the forum but everything seems Greek to me.
Yeah, I can use it simultaneously with my iBook. My only problem is being able to use it with a Windows machine. Haven't tried it lately though... (wala kase akong WiFi-enabled Windows PC/Laptop)
Hi. Got a question. I've got a Sun Broadband Wireless connected to my Macbook (w/ Mac OS X 10.5). I want to share this connection to laptops using Windows Vista. Here are the steps that I took: 1. connect to Sun Broadband 2. in System Preferences>Sharing, I selected HUAWEI Mobile (source of my internet connection) from the "Share your connection from" 3. ticked the AirPort in the "To computers using" 4. in the AirPort Options dialog box (after pressing the AirPort Options button), I renamed the network name from my computer's name to another name 5. set Channel to automatic 6. Enabled encryption (using WEP 40-bit...also tried the 128-bit) and specified 7. ticked the "Internet Sharing" and the wifi signal indicator turned into an icon w/ an arrow. here are the things that I observed: - the network is visible to the vista laptops, but when connecting to it, they are not prompted for a password...then they eventually fail to connect - so I removed the security...now they are able to connect to the network but are not able to surf the net - i tried changing the network name to my computer's name...they are able to connect to the network, and they are able to surf. So does that mean that I can't change the network name from my computer's name and also have it secured? I'd like to know if it's possible to share an internet connection through a secured AirPort network to PC laptops. TIA.
I can't seem to connect a Vista laptop to my MBP's internet sharing when the encryption is on. When finding a network using the Vista laptop, the os doesn't prompt me to type a password. (Same network name/MBP laptop name)
How do I share my PC's internet connection with my MacBook given the ff: - I don't have a LINKSYS WRT54G WIFI G ROUTER, but I do have an Airport Express - My PC has 2 lan cards The funny thing is before I used to be able to make it work. My wife would be surfing on the PC, and I would be surfing wirelessly through the MacBook. But now I can't seem to get it to work. If I plug in the PLDT myDSL modem straight into the APE, my macbook can dial up a DSL connection though. Any suggestions?
