ad hocairportmacoswifi
My Macbook Pro using a Wifi internet connection & I would like to share this connection to other systems in my house. When I tried to configure by myself I don't see the usual "airport" option to create the ad-hoc connection.
How can I do this in lion OS X?
My guess is that the iPhone doesn't consider the connection valid because there's no DHCP service assigning it an IP or perhaps gateway allowing it access to the internet.
Try running a DHCP server on your laptop or enabling network sharing even if the laptop isn't on the net.
It is probably related to resolving the host name.
Try using the IP address of the Mac instead of the name:
