- Change the port number if Fepper is listening on a different port
If your Mac is connected to the Internet through a wire:
- In the top menu bar, turn Wi-Fi off
- Open System Preferences
- Click Sharing
- In the left pane, select Internet Sharing
- In the right pane, on "Share your connection from:", select the interface which is connected to the Internet
- On "To computers using:", check Wi-Fi
- Click "Wi-Fi Options..."
- This will show your Mac's name as the wireless network name
- Add security if you are in a public space
- Click OK
- Back in the System Preferences main window, in the left pane, check to activate Internet Sharing
- In the dialog that appears, click "Turn Wi-Fi On"
- In the next dialog, click Start
- The Wi-Fi icon in the top menu bar should now be gray with a white up-arrow
- Back in the System Preferences main window, click Network
- In the left pane, select your wired connection
- In the right pane, underneath Status, the IP address will be displayed
