[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Ok,

So, I, along with a few others, pay for the Unlimited Mobile HotSpot and want this app to work as other (root) tethering apps only allow Ad-Hoc.

Here's what I did to get it to work on my Windows 7 x64 Computer as of just a few moments ago and I do plan to work on this issue to get this figured out.

I've discovered that the /data/misc/dhcp/udhcpd.conf file is what controls the DHCP addressing for the 4gMobileHotSpot App. Within this app, I discovered (in the Modded ROM (as of now, I have Gingervolt1.1)), that the "Option DNS" addresses were completely wrong. This was apparent from the get go as they were internal IP address starting with 192.168.x.x.

The steps to get this app working on Windows is:

0 - Be Rooted (Sorry, just had to point the obvious out in Step 0)

1 - Use the market and download/install the Text Edit (Paul Mach) App

2 - (TESTed and Working), Use AntTek (root) Explorer and navigate to:

/data/misc

3 - Long Press the udhcpd.conf file and select to open with the Text Edit App

4 - Change the 'option dns' from 192.168.x.x to 66.174.92.14 69.78.96.14 and save/exit

5* - In Windows, set the IPV4 Properties to:

Use Following Address:

IP Address: 192.168.1.5 (or anything in between start and end range in text file)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Use Following DNS server addresses:

Preferred DNS Server: 66.174.92.14

Alternate DNS Server: 69.78.96.14

6 - Start 4gHotSpot App

7 - Tell Windows to Connect and you should be connected.

NOTE: It is late and I know that this will become clearer as time goes on and since I have to work in the morning, this is the best I came up with in a few minutes after figuring out that the hang up was with this file, in which I knew it's been a DHCP issue all along. Why this file is changed with the Modded ROMs is beyond me and I doubt MT changed this, so likely it is something to do with the DE-odex or some other modification of this app and it's initialization. Just deleting the CONFIG file will only cause it to write a new one with the wrong values again.

For those who do use this app, it is known to stop responding at times and I am going to look into that. I'm thinking this is a DNS issue and will try some other DNS Servers (8.8.8.8 I believe is a Google public DNS)..

In the meantime, this is a start for anyone to add to this that has more DHCP/DNS/Network experience. I don't have another android device handy to test the connectivity, so will have to get that figured out.

Key point here is, is that the 4gHotSpot App gets corrupted with the Custom ROMs and for some reason sets up wrong DNS servers in the Config file.

Hope to see some thoughts, additions, fixes, to this problem with this being pointed out, from others. I will continue to work on it throughout this next week after work.

Last Note: The DNS server numbers came from the original Config prior to rooting/modding. Also, I do know that is it redundant to have them in the config file AND the Windows Properties. It's just that setting Windows to 192.168.1.1 (option router in the Config file) didn't work. Again, will work on cleaning this method up and simplifying.
