What could possibly be wrong, i have the macbook sharing internet when its running on mac without any issues.

Step 3: Enter the Wi-Fi password you made for the Android hotspot, then click Join. By default, you should see the Wi-Fi icon in menu bar, but if you dont, you can open Network via System Preferences on your Mac and make sure that Show Wi-Fi status in the menu bar is checked. In the ipad, the created network appears under devices, clicking on it brings up a message saying "network name is not connected to the internet" i press join anyway, use the password i setup and it says unable to join the network. If Wi-Fi is off, click the Wi-Fi icon and select Turn Wi-Fi On. You can easily check whether the DNS settings in your Network Preferences are correct or not. Sometimes the DNS settings on your Mac can become messed-up or wrong. Youll find it in the System Preferences window. Restart your Mac and go to the WiFi symbol at the top of the screen and select the network you want to connect to. internet sharing was enabled in the option that the previous step asked for, but i also went to change adapter settings for the local area connection and checked its properties to see that internet connection sharing was turned on and it was. The Wi-Fi hotspot option is part of the Internet Sharing feature in macOS. set up a wireless ad hoc network (computer to computer) network, using wpa2, and the network save box was checked The problem is setting up the computer to make a wireless network for the ipad, the computer is currently connected to an eternet cable. I would like to be able to use the ipad at the same time to read dimensions from its screen. I am using my Macbook with bootcamp on windows 7 at the moment to run a bit of CAD software.
