The MacBook Air's internet connection can be shared with other wireless computers.


On the MacBook Air, open System Preferences, select sharing, start Internet Sharing.


If the MacBook Air gets its internet from Wifi, you share over Ethernet

As you want to share wirelessly (over Wifi) your MacBook Air must have an Internet connection via Ethernet.



PS : A MacBook Air does not have an Ethernet connector so you'll have to buy an Ethernet-to-USB adaptor. ex: from Apple at the store : http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC704ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDEyMQ&mco=MTk0MjUyODE


Kind regards,

Greetings,


I have tried multiple tutorials on how to accomplish this task. Even though it seem very straight forward configuration, I can't seem to get it to work. This simple setup work flawlessly on my MBP, but not my MBA. While I'm trying to share my Airport via MBA USB ethernet to my iPhone and iPad, everytime I try, it breaks my USB ethernet connection. As soon as I disable connection sharing, it returns back to normal.


Does anyone, have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?


Thanks in advance.
