[QUOTE="EliotKami, post: 1309241, member: 218051"] Hello all, having a lot of trouble getting online here in China and would greatly appreciate some help. The place I'm staying has Ethernet, which I can only access by manually entering an IP, Subnet Mask, Router and a single DNS server. I'm getting online without a problem using this, but when I try to share my connection over AirPort things go funny. My Internet Sharing network (which I hilariously titled 'SkyNet', not realising it would have the same malignancy towards humanity as its namesake) only appears sporadically on my iPod Touch. When I go into WLAN networks other networks appear each time, but SkyNet comes and goes. I often have to wait a minute or two for it to appear, and then when I try to connect I get an 'Unable to join the network "SkyNet"' message. I have set up my MacBook Pro and iPod Touch's networks according to the instructions in this article [ [url=http://lightyearsoftware.com/2010/06/how-to-set-up-internet-sharing-on-mac-os-x/]How to Set Up Internet Sharing on Mac OS X — Light Year Software[/url] ], but it still doesn't work. Airport however, shows as being connected to SkyNet and having the static IP which I have assigned it. Also, I have successfully shared my MacBook's ethernet connection with my iPod Touch in other places (without using static IPs, etc) with no problem. Again, this is very frustrating and I would dearly appreciate any help. My network settings are below. MacBook Pro Ethernet IP: 192.168.x.x Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.x.x DNS: 192.168.x.x MacBook Pro Airport IP: 10.0.2.x Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0 Router: (same as above) iPod Touch IP: 10.0.2.(x+1) Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0 Router: (same as AirPort IP) I've also tried giving the AirPort and iPod Touch 192.168.x.x addresses, to no avail [/QUOTE]
