Are you connected to the Internet via Ethernet or something other than WiFi?

Your Mac would have to have two WiFi devices to both receive and transmit a network.

However, I don't believe it should be disabled like you show. So…


…is your Mac managed by a company or school? They may have disabled the capability.


The Sharing pane doesn't appear to require any Authentication.
