Comment on Configuring Internet Sharing between an iMac running Snow Leopard, a Mac laptop, an Ubuntu netbook, and a Roku by David

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I spent two evenings researching w/ trial & error before I found this! You’re awesome!
I was a little scared at first, since I am not at all familiar w/ terminal commands, and amazingly figured out the typos on my own (didn’t think to read the comments when it didn’t work at first). But after that the Roku works!!! Just like that. Wow!
Thanks again.

Thanks! Still working.

Followed instructions with the Mark August 7, 2011 at 3:26 pm amendments and it worked instantly.

However, no luck double-checking following the instructions:

‘in Terminal, entering more /etc/bootpd.list and looking to see that “reply_threshold_seconds” is still set to “0″.’

This resulted in the message:

‘/etc/bootpd.list: No such file or directory’

I faced Sam’s problem (though with a 93 year old mother). The instructions worked great. Thanks!

Thanks! My hotel provided ethernet and wifi but my brand new Roku2 couldn’t authenticate through the wifi. These instructions helped make my hotel stay a fair bit better after sharing the ethernet connection over wifi.

As a bonus this also let my Kindle 3 connect to the Mac.

Thanks–this worked great!

But, yes, you have some typos–you said “list” instead of “plist” in parts of the instructions (Part Two).

Ronna: this was your problem; TextEdit had the wrong file name
Kiki: you need to enter your Mac admin password; you’re basically over-riding the permissions as admin

Corrected steps:
– step 6: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/bootpd.plist.roku
- step 10: In Terminal: sudo cp /etc/bootpd.plist.roku /etc/bootpd.plist
- step 11: Check the box next to “Internet Sharing” again.
You should now be able to connect your Roku to this new wifi network. You can double-check that your editing worked by, in Terminal, entering more /etc/bootpd.plist and looking to see that “reply_threshold_seconds” is still set to “0″.

in terminal, when it asks for a password, what password does it want? i tried the roku password, tried my macbook admin password, tried the network password. all 3 failed…
