Same problem here. I can share over my airport wifi network but it is dirt slow. Trying to copy a 300 meg file from one computer's desktop to another and the progress bar is saying 45 minutes and is just crawling.


I'm sure an update is coming but this is frustrating.


Safari and internet in general is much slower/laggish compared to my desktop which is still on Snow Leopard.

Lion broke my internet sharing as well. Had it working perfectly with Snow Leopard. Have gotten another Mac running Snow Leopard to work perfectly using the same exact settings.


I originally had it sharing Airport > Ethernet. Based on internet suggestions, I also tried WiFi > Ethernet. Did not help.


I have Applecare, and when I called they said that they "do not support Internet Sharing". What ********. I could see them not wanting to support the many many possible devices out there that people are trying to share their internet with, but if something is clearly broken they should help to troubleshoot it.
