I am not able to share my wired Internet connection to my Mac via the internal wifi card.
Here is my setup:
Intel iMac
SBC DSL modem plugged into my iMac via Ethernet
What I would like to do is to have the iMac share this wired, Ethernet connection via wifi.
What I did:
-Firewall turned off
-personal internet sharing turned on
-share internet connection tab has SBC DSL as the sharing source (there is no option for Ethernet) (this changed when I installed the SBC software on my mac to configure my modem)
-share internet connection tab has airport as what it will be shared through
-airport options (currently) has a network name, channel set to auto, and no security options (as in, no wep password)
-I push start sharing on the share internet connection tab
What happens:
-On my XP laptop (and on my wifi-enabled phone), it sees the network I created on my mac
-When I try to connect to it (both on my phone and XP), it "tries" but then gives up
Any suggestions?
