Strange internet sharing problem

    I'm trying to share my 3 modem connection to my Xbox. Easy I thought... I had done it with the o2 modem, so why should this be any different.

    I went into Internet Sharing, but the tick box to enable was grey out. It says there are no ports available over which you can share your connection.

    I go into network, I see that when I use the app to connect my 3 modem, it changes the location to "3 connect" which has disabled the built in ethernet, airport and bluetooth.

    Anyways I can get around that? I've tried poking around, but I've no idea how to re-enable any of them. When I click on the airport along the side, it just says "status: inactive" and the option to turn it on is grey out? Had shared connection to xboxs, pcs fine before. I'm not sure why on earth they get disabled when I connect my 3 modem.

    Edit: up an running now... small cog underneath the list of ports. Select the port, click the cog, make service active. Share the connection as normal then. Took me long enough to spot. No idea why they were disabled.
