I use the internet connection through system preferences--> sharing--> sharing internet--> connection on the part of wlan to computers via WIFI and give a name and a password for the wifi settings. When I start the connection icon wifi on the the high watch the arrow menu to the top, but it gives an IP address from 169 auto... etc etc and I can't any traffic to my iPhone.

  I tried to configure IPv4 to use DHCP with a manual (instead of automatic DHCP) address and IP I enter the IP address used in the WiFi, wifi says that it is connected to the name of the internet connection in the shared connection, I opened but once again no traffic to the iPhone. Also tried disabling the firewall, once again nothing.

• How to share an internet connection broadband on the Satellite A200-1VG

  Hello
  I am very new in the world of laptops, 3 days old. In fact, I have a desktop computer (the OS is XP Professional) and just bought my self a Satellite A200-1VG (the OS is Vista).
  In my view, is it possible for 2 machines to share a connection high speed, but how I do not know. I must admit to be pretty ignorant when it comes to technology (you have probably gathered that now) and I ask that any given notice will be given in the language too technical.
  Thanks in advance for a novice.

  Hello

  Of course, you can share the internet connection with 2 computers.
  If you have a WLan router, you can connect a computer to the LAN port and the laptop can be connected via Wireless LAN.

  You can also connect two computers to the LAN port. Some routers support two (or more) of LAN ports and assign TCP/IP addresses automatically.
  If your router supports one LAN port you could buy a Hub (or switch) for more LAN ports and connect multiple computers.

  Lastly but not least you can connect to the laptop of desktop PC, but the PC needs to be equipped with min 2 LAN cards.

  I would recommend a little goggling for more details. I m you will find some useful articles.

  Good bye

• How do I share my internet connection?

  I have two laptops that I use to connect to wireless internet. The problem is that I can't get two laptops to connect to the internet simultaneously. My sister and I must take turns to use the internet, even if we use a wireless router. The main reason we got a wireless router has been to share our internet connection!

  I have:
  Virgin Media (or Telewest broadband) modem
  Belkin router wireless
  Two laptop computers (which can connect to the internet - but not at the same time)

  Hello

  If you have the wireless router, I see no problem here. Set your PPPoE connection router (the router supports a dynamic connection type). If wireless option can each laptop connected with or without the password (I don't know if you have one).

  If the WIFI network on the router is set on, if please scan the area and choose View available wireless networks. I'm sure that the same wireless network will be available on two laptops. You just need good settings.

• share my internet connection with another computer using a router

  My question is if I give you my wep key to another computer in my house so that it can access the internet will be my files or no matter what content of my computer stays private, I need to share my internet connection without sharing something else?. Thanks JF

  In general, it is safe to do so - just a person granting access to your network will not give them access to your files on your computer unless you are already sharing files with another computer on your network.  In this case, you want to check your sharing settings to make sure that the shared files are not available for all users of the network.  The thing I'd be worried, is whether or not the person you share with is "don't own"-no virus, malware, etc. on their computer, given that some of these programs can spread via a shared network connection.

• How can I speed up my internet connection?

  How can I speed up my internet connection?

  Hi vatsrajiv,

  If you have problems with your internet connection speed you better communicate with your suppliers of Internet services (ISP) technical support team. Internet high speed is governed by many factors, including your distance from your PBX and the time of day, you use the internet. If you're more than a mile from your phone (I think) Exchange and then speed will be reduced due to degradation of the signal. Yet here in the United Kingdom, resulting speeds are advertised as 8 MB and above (up to 20 or more in some areas), however, in reality, you are lucky to get an average speed of 2.5 to 4 MB on an 8 MB line.

  Another factor is the time of day you access internet. Peak your ISP is likely to "cap" of the connection speed. In other words, more people using your lower ISP connection speed system. Another factor is whether a "router" is declining in some parts of the world where your ISP traffic fell through. Also, this may cause more slow responses of the web pages. Yesterday, I visited a webpage which, under normal conditions, takes about 15 seconds to load. On this occasion, it took more than 70 seconds to load.

  You also don't say if you are using broadband or dial-up connection services. While we always assume that everyone has broadband is not always the case. Remote connections are still alive and well in many parts of the countryside, especially those. A dial is notoriously slow compared to broadband by default.

  You can check your ISP website and check their "State of the line" to see if they have problems. If all goes well, it might be useful to contact your ISP and get them to check your phone line, just in case where there is a problem with your telephone line or even your router if you are on broadband.

  Hi all

  I'm stumped on this one. I'm working on my network of fathers, and he lives in a rural area. Unfourantely, there are not a lot of internet service here. It uses a printed card that connect locally to a windos vista home pc. From there on, the connection is shared and that the pc is connected to a linksys router. The router, then hosts a wireless network and hard line connections. About three weeks ago, the Internet stopped working except the computer, map of sprint is hung directly. I tried the following options below to solve the problem.

  1. I can plug the card sprint to any computer and it works.

  2. I replaced the network adapter on the host computer

  3. I have tried the card sprint on other computers and tried to share from there. Same result

  4. replace the router

  5 opportunity anotehr card Sprint which has been known to work

  6. replace the network cable between pc and router

  7. I tried removing the router from the equation and ran a network of host pc card form for directly to another computer

  8. the host and also renovated of other computers reformated

  9. do you have an ipconfig/release and renew

  10 tried sharing all NICs on the host PC

  When sharing the connection, I can see all the computers on the network. They arise, there is simply not an internet connection.

  The only mistake that I seem to get is not able to find the DNS. I put everything on dhcp.

  Any ideas that anyone can come would be most appreciated. Thank you

• Connect a Vista PC (host) with an XP PC in LAN and share the internet connection.

  I connect to internet using 3 different notebooks with Windows Vista with a wireless connection to a router and the DSL modem. I have a desktop PC XP computer in a secluded spot in my house, who does not have a wireless card. When I want to use the internet in Office XP, I connect it to a laptop using a LAN cable.

  I was able to do that with 2 of my notebooks (set up the network and share the internet), but with the third Vista notebook, desktop XP can't get the internet connection established. I was not able to detect which is the problem.

  First question: clues to debug this problem?

  Second question: I would like to start over again and configure everything again with this third book. How should I proceed?

  Turn on Internet connection sharing on the Vista wireless network connection.  If asked what to use for the home network connection, tell him to use the connection to the Local network. Then check the State of TCP/IP on both computers:

  1. On the Vista computer, right-click on the connection to the Local network, and then click on status > details . It must show:
     • IP address: 192.168.0.1
     • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
     • Default gateway: no
     • Server DNS = none
  2. On the XP computer, right-click on the connection to the Local network, and then click on status > support > details . It must show:
     • IP address: 192.168.0.x (1<>
     • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
     • Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
     • = 192.168.0.1 DNS server

• Share an internet connection.

  I just changed my router and cannot allow internet sharing.  I could with the old router but now I said because I don't have that one ICS network tab is not available.  How do I set up another network connection so that sharing is available?  Can I share a connection?

  In a typical home network, there is no need to enable Internet connection sharing on all computers.  A broadband router connects to a modem cable or DSL and Internet access to all computers that connect to it, using a wired Ethernet connection or a wireless connection.

  You have a configuration where this is not possible?  If so, please give details. Boulder computer Maven

• I can use my laptop with internet connection by cable, but cannot configure the wireless connection.

  Wireless Internet

  can use my laptop with internet cable is plugged in, but I am unable to set up a Wi - Fi connection, even though two other laptops in the House are Wi - Fi. Tried the convenience store who said there is a button on the front of the laptop that I push to turn on wireless on, tried that, but nothing is. I have an Acer Travelmate 2410, can someone help me?

  Hi Karldawkins,

  What operating system is installed on the computer?

  As the error message clearly indicates that the wireless switch is disabled on the computer. I suggest you consult the manual of the laptop and try to turn on the wireless switch.

  If you still experience the problem, then I suggest you to contact Acer support to enable the wireless switch.
