MacBook Bridging Airport to Ethernet Internet Sharing Problem
So I'm using my Snow Leopard MacBook to extend my wireless internet connection into a room that doesn't have reception, by running an Ethernet cable out of my MacBook.
I've gone into System Preferences and enabled share my Internet connection through sharing from wifi to Ethernet.
When I plug my device into the ethernet cable, the device shows it's been assigned IP numbers through DHCP. My MacBook shows an Ethernet assignment through the Network control panel. However, the device connected by Ethernet cannot access the Internet.
As a test, I hooked up my Mavericks MacBook to act as a wireless to Ethernet bridge, and worked perfectly. However, none of the IP information on the device or the mavericks MacBook is substantially different. Both seem to auto populate in a similar manner.
since Mavericks works and Snow Leopard doesn't, I have to assume there's some setting that needs to be tweaked under Snow Leopard to allow the Internet access to tunnel through to the Ethernet.
anybody have any idea where I should start looking?
