My ISP allows connecting only two devices. The MAC addresses of both my devices (MacBook Pro laptop and iPad) are registered with them.
The problem is that I do not have a router, and the internet I receive is via ethernet cable. I want to share internet on my laptop with my iPad. But it does not work. ISP returns an error message saying that I am not allowed to do network sharing or using routers with DHCP. It goes on: "you CAN use a router if you switch DHCP off".
This is the ISP guide on setting up the router to work as access point: http://portal.ask4.com/support/wireless-access-point/
I am sure it is doable and I can replicate a "router with DHCP off" by my laptop. I just don't know how!?
Any idea?
P.S. I already tried:
- Network sharing from system preferences,
- Assigning manual two manual IPs for each device in the same range.
None worked :(
