How can I share my Ethernet connection over Wi-Fi on OS X?

Question

I am trying to share my Mac mini's ethernet connection over my wireless adapter (internal), with no success.

I know about sharing in settings but if I try to share connection with sharing below Mac Settings, it said that I can't because the Internet connection I use is protected by 802.1x and it suggests that I choose another network.

What can I do to resolve this?

Solution

I managed to share 802.1X wireless connection by creating a VPN connection on my Mac, then shared internet access from this VPN connection. I think that is the only solution that you can fid for this.

@GordonDavisson I know, what you say is right. But this don't work even with my WEP at home (I try for experiment) and the network is my university network, where I access with my credentials, so if I compromise the network, even if I don't think is possible, the admin know who has been. But the problem is that: in my room, at university, there is not Wi-Fi conn. and my mobile can't call without because my mobile can't have 2G/3G/hsdpa signal :/ this is my purpose.

Can you ellaborate more on this solution? How do we set this up? There are several different types of VPN on Mac OS X and all have different settings. Which one should we use?
