sblus74 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 hi, my iBook is connected to internet through a airport extreme and I receive a signal from a building in front of me. I'd like to share this connection to my desktop G5 through firewire but it doesn't work. I use DHCP to both sides, I start internet sharing on the iBook "from Airport to computers using Firewire", then I start document sharing and web sharing but nothing happens. anyone knows how to do this? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37714-internet-sharing-airport-firewire/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK.Xscape Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 yea this is the one thing i have trouble with in osx. in windows i could just active internet connection sharing(ICS) and then i would be set but when i tried it with osx i failed miserably. i would try a static ip and see how that works. i guess windows is easier is some places.

consolation Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 go to system prefs->network, in the show bob select Network Port Configurations. Make sure that the FW is ticked and activated on both machines. Now your computer will try to connect to the network in the order on the list, so on your client drag the FW to the top of the list/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37714-internet-sharing-airport-firewire/#findComment-269244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

consolation Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 try disabling the Firewall on the host, I find that it interferes with access to some sites. If you are behind a router make sure that you opened the required ports of the Xbox. I really have no idea how things work with xboxes...
