Connect to internet via ethernet to macbook pro

Sat Nov 12, 2016 10:36 pm

Hello,

I have a RPi 3b that I have accessed via terminal using 'ssh pi@raspberrypi.local' so I know it is connected to my computer.

In the network preferences I have the configure IPv4 set to 'using DHCP' and location 'automatic' but when I run any internet commands (ie. 'sudo apt-get update') I always get these failed to fetch and could not resolve errors

Would this be because I am using my University's internet?
