I am not able to share my own internet.

Hey, I am trying to share my internet from my Mac to my cell phone or other devices and when I go to the “Share” section and then internet and click on information all the drop down options are grayed out, without giving me the option to edit or change who and how I can share internet. I would like to know how I can solve this problem and if it is something of the device or is there something that should be changed?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.7

Are your cell phones or other devices connected to the same LAN as the Mac? If so it would be a very unusual network configuration.


Refer to Share the internet connection on Mac with other network users - Apple Support, the key words being other network users. In other words a Mac connected to the same LAN but over a different interface. For example you could share an Ethernet Internet connection over Wi-Fi or vice versa.
