Internet sharing problems; XP and Mac OS X
Just got a used Powerbook Mac OS X with a 3rd-party wireless network card. I
have a desktop running Windows XP Home Edition that shares its internet connection with the other PCs on the network. I can get the Mac to ping the router and the host computer, (and even to share files), but the Mac can't access the Internet or ping public internet sites (e.g. yahoo.com or google.com). Any advice? |

Check the TCP/IP configuration on the Mac. It should show: IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1x255) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS Server = 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
