I did, thanks, but only with a check mark near the "General Internet". Without a check mark, the inclusion of shared access has not popped up, and it was impossible to include the overall Internet. It is right? Or did I do something wrong? WiFi is heard. (I have a MacBook Pro connected to Ethernet).
