OS X :: Internet Sharing Between Xbox 360 And MBP
Oct 2, 2009
I've got an LED unibody MBP and for a month or 2. I've been internet sharing my connection from my HSDAP broadband dongle to my Xbox 360 through an ethernet cable. It took me AGES to get going! A while ago I upgraded to Snow Leopard and it broke it. I have no idea why, and i spent hours yesterday trying to get it to work again to no avail! [URL]. That is the guide I am using and for the most part its fine. Long story short, the DNS keeps failing. "Move onto DNS. Enter the IP address of your wireless router (in my case, "192.168.0.1") in both the primary and secondary IP address fields". Thats the part I am having problems with, as I don't use a wireless router, i dont know what to put in.

Since it's possible to use a Mac as a wireless access point. I want to share my Ethernet connection through WiFi (not vice-versa), can I connect my Xbox 360 easily with that network or I have to painfully change the settings?

I have my xbox 360 connected to my macbook through ethernet. On my mac i have internet connection sharing enabled from airport to ethernet. Everything works fine apart from the xbox saying I have a strict NAT.
I made sure the ports were all configured to work with my router, and UPnP is defiantly enabled on my router. I even tested to see if it was something to do with my firewalls, but even with them turned off, I still get this NAT error

How to share my Mac's Internet Connection to my Xbox 360. I have enabled Internet Sharing from my AirPort to the Ethernet, and changed the IP settings on the Xbox 360, but I keep getting "cant connect to your network hardware using a static ip".

Here is my setup, and I have it all configured correctly, and everything works great. I am able to stream stuff off of the iMac with Connect360, and internet works great. I am not having any trouble configuring the ethernet port to share the airport connection. What I am trying to do now is have the 360 connect to the Media Center PC located downstairs hidden out of sight.
Because the 360 is getting it's connection from my iMac, would it still be able to connect to this MCE PC? (the only PC in the house, whose sole purpose is to be a DVR and eventually, serve the 360 up with cool MCE hacks such as a web browser for the 360, and Hulu). I am not about to buy a WiFi adapter from MS for $100, as that is overpriced and the iMac connection works fine.

I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to share my LAN internet to an XBOX 360 using the Apple USB ethernet cable (for the Macbook Air) on my Macbook Pro 13"? I've tried several routers, and all have them have failed me giving me massive timeouts and sudden disconnects. I think this should be a good solution.

I have a macbook (10.5.1), and I am trying to share my internet through Airport -> Macbook -> Ethernet Cable -> Xbox 360 to get onto Xbox Live.
-What do I manually put as my IP?
-Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0 or is it 255.255.255.0
-What do I put as my gateway?
Now, every time that my IP has confirmed, the DNS fails. How do I configure this properly?

For specific reasons, I needed to connect my Synology DS211 NAS to my iMac directly via its ethernet port. I discovered that if I share my wireless internet connection (coming from my cable modem/wireless router) from wireless to ethernet, then the NAS would get the IP stuff it needed to show up. did that, voila, NAS is acting like a glorified external hard drive. BUT, when I did that, I lost all internet connectivity on my iMac. Still have full wireless signal. preferences pane says I'm fully connected to my network with an IP address, but safari always fails to pull up any webpages, saying I'm not connected to the internet.As soon as turn off the ethernet PORT, it all starts working again. And to make it even crazier, I discovered that if I leave sharing my wireless internet via my ethernet port ON, but turn off the ethernet port (in pref pane), I can STILL access the NAS just like before. That makes no sense - I'm sharing my internet via a port I have turned off, but it works? Anyway, why would Iose my airport wireless internet connection when the ethernet port is on - configured manually?

Basically I have a g4 mac mini running 10.5 and I am trying to share from wireless to ethernet. I have that all set up in the internet sharing setup. I've tried many different tutorials online and I just keep running into an error saying it cant resolve the dns servers or whatever.
My router IP is 192.168.2.1
My macs IP is 192.168.2.10
I have the DNS numbers from my ISP
On the xbox I enter the ip of the xbox as 192.168.2.22
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1 (router)
Then my DNS numbers manually set, I've also tried using my macs and routers IP's as DNS and no dice. I just keep getting the same DNS error. i have a bunch of ports for xbox live opened to my xbox IP. It worked for me at one point when i was using tiger but now it wont on leopard.

I'm abroad at university and the school has a pretty wicked proxy that prevents Xbox Live from getting through. I asked an IT guy about it and he said, "Man, I wish we could use it. I just don't know if it's possible." I took that as permission to try. I decided to log on to the school network with my iBook (old school, I know) and share my connection with my Xbox. I followed one of the many, many guides available online and set everything up. When I test my Xbox Live Connection, it connects to the network, accepts my DNS settings and then says, "Xbox can't access the internet." My computer is accessing the internet just fine, but my Xbox can't?

I've been looking around the internet for a solution to this problem. I'm currently in an apartment with a single wired connection running to my Macbook Pro, i haven't got time to buy a switch or router right now and i've been trying to connect my 360 to the internet using Airport. All of the how-to's i've found so far concern connecting the 360 and Macbook via Ethernet rather than Airport, and while i've tried to follow the steps as best as i can i haven't been able to connect to xbox live.

I present to you today a baffling conundrum which has been vexing me for months. Around Christmas my sister got a huge raise and bonus, which resulted in a flurry of new technology rushing into the household. All at the same time we set up a new wireless router, (for our wireless modem) an Xbox 360 and SnowLeopard for my MacBook Pro.
I noticed that late at night, after the Xbox had been turned off, my internet connection started getting strange. without the system acknowledging anything had happened (all 5 bars in the airport symbol, my AIM client still claimed i was connected) i would suddenly be unable to load anything (in any browser) or send or receive any IMs.
I would turn my airport off and immediately on again, then the problem would be solved. then, exactly five minutes later, it would happen again. I've been able to connect this "funky-internet phenomenon" as I like to call it, to the Xbox being OFF. I am a walking detector for when the machine gets powered down. this only happens when Xbox is off, and the second it is turned back on, my internet stops doing this.

I usually have no problems hooking my Xbox up to XBL wirelessly to the interent, but I recently moved and now it wont connect to XBL. It shows the SSID but when put the passphrase in it begins to connect and then it says there is a problem. it says it is "connected" but there is no IP. All the setting as are put to Automatic.
I have tried shutting the router off and my Xbox and I even tried connecting an ethernet cable to my MBP and Xbox. I got an IP when I did this but it still didnt connect. so that's one problem. Another problem is that I dont know how to share my MBP with my Xbox...Like I said, I have the wireless adapter thing but maybe I have been going about all of this wrong.

I'm am currently sharing my Internet via Airport to my MacBook and PC. The only problem is that the PC won't connect unless there is no password protecting the network. Why is this? What am I doing wrong?

I went to sharing and clicked share internet and plugged them into eachother via ethernet, but it didnt work...or i just did it wrong. Is there an easy way to do this?
One weird thing, I clicked on the wireless icon nd clicked create network. i created a network and enabled data sharing...i was able to access all the file on each computer respectively without plugging them into each other....how does this work? If they can share data without being plugged in why cant they share internet!?

Ok... So I set up my MacBook a day or two ago to share my Ethernet internet connection via WiFi for my iPhone. All and dandy. Cue about an hour ago. It just stopped working.
I can access the internet via my Ethernet connection when Internet Sharing is un-ticked. I then proceed to tick it and the Internet connection drops. So I un-tick again and internet is working again. My Airport creates and connects to my iPhone all ok. But, I cannot access the internet.
Also, when Internet Sharing is ticked, Little Snitch tells me that "natd" is trying to talk to 0.0.0.0 via Labrat (DIVERT port 2560).

I tried searching but wasn't able to find anything extremely helpful. But I want to share files to a PC over the web. I have a TC and mobile me as well and not sure if the PC can get to the shared disk. I know my mac can connect to server in finder. I've read things about hamachi and that seems like a viable option. Sharing iTunes would be nice as well. But I imagine my computer would have to be awake for it to work. Would it be best to setup an FTP client or SSH?

I can't seem to get internet sharing working on my mac after installing a new router. I want to share my airport connection with my ethernet port so I can get on the internet with my Windows 7 test desktop that doesn't have wireless capabilities.
I used to have a DLink DI-614+ router and it just broke on me last week. Now I have the Belkin N+ Router model F5D8235-4.
Before, when I turned on internet sharing with the DLink router, everything went smooth and I could automatically connect via ethernet to the internet, but now when I attempt to connect it says that there is no internet access on the Win7 box. I assume this has something to do with the new router that I installed.
One thing to note is that My Ethernet in Network preferences says that it "has a self assigned IP and may not be able to connect." Is a self assigned IP the problem and is there a way to fix it by modifying the network preferences or is there something I have to do to my router to get this to work.

Since I have installed Snow Leopard I can't use the function in internet sharing that allows you to share your connection from ethernet to computers using Airport. Has anyone else had this problem? Anybody have ideas for a fix?

I have my cool new mac here and it's got a great printer connected to it via usb. My mac is accessing internet via an ethernet cable, awesome! I have internet AND can print on my mac. now we got the old family PC in another room and it really wants to print and have internet access. So I try to get my mac to help it out by using the built in airport to give it some wireless, and access to the printer via wireless. well I do that and the PC can connect to the shared network, but uh oh! we might have a few pesky snoopers around so I want to put the WEP on just to be on the safer side. Ouch, turns out PC and mac WEP aren't so compatible so what is my PC gonna do now. Well what it's gonna do is connect to local wi fi for internet, but now it can't print! I wonder if theres a way to SECURELY connect to my macs airpot from my PC or maybe theres a way to print wirelessly from my PC thats on a different network.

I used to be able to use Internet sharing without any issues. I share from ethernet 1 to wifi so my iPad etc can have strong wifi everywhere etc.
Everything is the same, I can set it up but when I check the box and then hit start, the airport icon flashes between a hollow shape and the bars a few times and then nothing happens. When it works the icon has an arrow in it.

I have a Mac Mini connect to my Wireless Router (Gateway 192.168.4.1) I have enabled Internet Sharing on 10.5.8 on Ethernet and have a Cable Running to my Samsung LED 40" HDTV and can happily access the Internet@Tv functions no problem.* My problem is the Mac has assigned the Tv on gateway 192.168.2.1 which is different from my Hardware wireless router of 192.168.4.1.* I have the Samsung Tv IPhone Remote App. My iPhone is connected via the Wireless router on 192.168.4.1 and my Tv is on 192.168.2.1 so they are not picking each other up and not connecting.* How can I change my shared connection to use the hardware routers gateway of 192.168.4.1 to allow my networks media sharing capabilities and connection of other wifi devices on the hardware router?

I'm new to Macs. I live ~200 yards from my Mom's house. I set her up with a b/g/n router. My Imac picks up the "n" signal just fine. My ps3, which only does b/g, gets no signal. I have an old linksys wrt54g wifi router. I tried plugging it into my imac and setting the imac to internet sharing through ethernet, but it didn't work. Stringing an ethernet cable isn't an option. Am I missing a step in the system preferences for internet sharing? Is there another way to get internet to the ps3? I would rather not buy any new equipment, but I'd spend up to $50.
