Q: Airport Extreme not working after downloading 10.8.3 on Mac Mini Late 2009

I downloaded latest upgrade OS X 10.8.3.  This is onto a Mac Mini (late 2009).  The Mini is hooked up to Cable Ethernet.  I use the Mini's Airport Extreme to use as a Hub for other Apple devices to get onto the internet.  I was enabling this through internet sharing through the sharing tab on system preferences.  it has worked for years.  I have restarted and tried several times.  I do not know what to do .  The names of the computers have not changed.  I am a user not a whiz bang programmer type, it is very frustrating.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Mac Mini, MacBook, iPhone 5, OS X

    Hi, might try this...

     

    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

     

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712

     

    10.7 & 10.8…

     

    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

     

    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...

     

    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.

     

    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

     

    Try setting up Internet Sharing in the new location.
