Guest glasse Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I've googled some articles and videos about this but still can't get it to work. Maybe watmm can help? Basically I don't have regular internet right now, so I have been tethering my macbook to android over PDAnet (phone not rooted). I found some instructions on sharing your Mac's internet with Xbox 360, (mostly focused on using it in place of the Xbox wifi receiver but I figured it would be about the same process.) I connected the 360 to the Mac using an ethernet cable, turned on sharing from ethernet en2 (what PDAnet uses) to ethernet. Then I followed the instructions for manually configuring the ip and DNS on both the Mac and 360, even getting a solid network connection on 360 (no internet/xbox live though). I also tried connecting the Mac to my router's WAN port, but again the 360 could not resolve Xbox live. One forum mentioned enabling sharing in PDAnet, but this must be Windows only because my version is just a tray icon, no interface. I read something about PDAnet not assigning DNS or something?? Any ideas or anyone have experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Babar Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 i'm not even sure it would work, and if it does, you may reach your traffic limit. Here, all the unlimited** contracts have a limit. if you pass over it, they start delivering a shitty bandwith. There is also the ping problem.

Guest glasse Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I have a couple more things to try. One is rooting my phone and updating to android 2.2 (I have a cliq which is still on 1.6) so I can tether natively. PDAnet supposedly does a weird thing w DNS which is probably the issue. I also found a tutorial for configuring a Mac as a NAT router, which I think is a step beyond just sharing an internet connection. My 3g signal is actually great though, was just streaming netflix through it last night. Worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest glasse Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Just wanted to share that I was at someone's house with my laptop over the weekend and we decided to watch Netflix. I found his router, which is a fairly recent model Linksys connected to Comcast high speed internet. It took a while to buffer, stopped again to prebuffer shortly thereafter, but froze at 5% of the prebuffer. So I says dahellwitdat and tethered up to my phone. We watched an episode of Married w Children and 2 episodes each of Family Guy and 30 Rock. Only had to stop to prebuffer again once and the initial buffer went really fast.
