I'm using a mac mini server 10.6.8--no "internet sharing" option on my SystemsPreferences>Sharing panel

There are options for DVD & CD Sharing, REmote Login, Remote Management, Bluetooth Sharing,etc

BUT NO "INTERNET SHARING"

Can anyone help with this I'm trying to resolve a problem to make a website on my server available

on the internet & belive that this might lead to a solution or @ least point me in the right direction.


Thanks for any help

Mac Mini Server typically runs Mac OS X Server, not Mac OS X client. I've requested a moderator move your question to the Server forum.

I have a Mac mini server with Mac osx 10.6.8 installed --- I have a website {UNDER CONSTRUCTION} installed on it with a REGISTERED DOMAIN NAME belizeansworldwide.com -->[DNS service w/GoDaddy] & DSL INTERNET service w/VERIZON --- {My server is the ONLY DEVICE CONNECTED to my VERIZON DSL router/modem}

When I enter my DOMAIN NAME or WAN IP # in my browser(s)--> Chrome OR Safari -- i get my Verizon modem

set-up page-->{this incl the WAN IP# as I expected}----{NORMALLY I WOULD ACCESS MY Actiontec

modem/router via 192.168.1.1} --- While in that webpage there's an option "shared files/folders" & clicking on that option DISPLAYS MY WEBSITE ---> {"PORT FORWARDING DID NOT RESOLVE THAT"}

My next attempt @ a solution was through my Server's SystemPreference>Sharing>Internet Sharing

& this the Original Object of my post ===> "MY SHARING PANEL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE OPTION

FOR 'Internet Sharing' among the others like CD DVD, Remote Login,Remote Management, Bluetooth Sharing, etc.etc ---- Hope this additional info will help to clarify &/or explain my problem

Thanks, & best regards to you & yours

Thats not really a solution-- I do have mac osx server 10.6.8 on my mini preinstalled.

My problem is that my SYSTEMS PREFERENCES>SHARING PANEL does not

include the option for "INTERNET SHARING" as it should.

The only options on the sharing panel are ==> CD DVD Sharing, Remote Login, Rmote Management,

Bluetooth Sharing, etc,etc BUT NO "Internet Sharing" option

Sounds like you should open the Server Admin Utility and turn on the Web Services. This will allow you to publish your website.


To turn Web service on:

1 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.

2 Click Settings, then click Services.

3 Select the Web checkbox.

4 Click Save.

I have the same issue, but the "Web" serveice IS selected and appears to be active. As a matter of fact, I can NOT disable the "web" option. When I try, it re-enables it self, when I hit the save button.


I have found some other web site that tells me enable NAT, and DHCP. I have followed both of these and still no joy.


Here is a link to the other option I found
