Anyone think they can help me with my sharing my nokia n95 connection through my laptop to android devices?

Tethering an n95 via Joikuspot doesn't work on my Galaxy S (Yes i have a data connection on this, but I want to use the unlimited plan on my n95 while at home, swapping the sims is not an option as my folks tether with n95 to their laptop while at home using joikuspot) or Galaxy tab 8.9 both running JB 4.2.1

So I've USB tethered n95 to my laptop, and trying to share the "dial up" (pc suite causes n95 to work like a dial up connection) connection with my android devices, I've successfully set up the wifi network, and all my devices can interact with each other on the internal network, but the dial up connection refuses to "share."

No errors are given, I just can't get internet on my android devices, it's not the IP addresses, otherwise internal LAN sharing wouldn't work either.

Anything else I should try? Or is it just not possible to share an N95 "dial up" connection over wifi?

I have ticked all the boxes I need to, as shown in the SS below

I tried connecting another laptop to the network created using this guide aswell, can network successfully but no internet, I'm sure this guide is great, it's just some settings I've missed or the N95 tethering modem doesn't wanna share.
[Galaxy S II General] bdesja1:
Up and running!

Looks like I finally got mine running. I guess I was a little confused on your step 4 part f section as I incorrectly thought I needed to change the settings on my "Wireless Network Connection 2" instead of the LAN connection. Once I figured that out, I got it all good. THANKS a ton! I hope this stays more reliable than my Connectify connection was which was a huge memory hog and constantly dropped after short periods of use. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I have another approach try this:

1. Tether the N95 Internet via joikuspot (if you are wondering why this is not scanned in Android device, then it is simply because joikuspot uses ad hoc network again which android currently is not capable of scanning natively)

2. In your laptop connect to that particular joikuspot wifi access point. At this point of time your laptop should be accessing Internet of your N95.

3. Now follow the guide of mine and under "Step 4 point f" of the OP guide, choose the actually wifi adapter (not the virtual adapter) and do the sharing.

4. Now connect to the virtual wifi access point in your Android.

Bet this will work.

PS. The USB tethered dialup should have worked, but I'm not in position to test it right now at my home.

Since the Virtual WiFi adapter is integrated under OS level you shouldn't be having any issues with regard to stability.

Also sorry that the particular step was confusing. I'll edit it and make it more pointy.

Can you look at it now and tell me if its understandable? :p
[Galaxy S II General] Aadilnz:
Hi, thanks for your quick reply!

Unfortunately I can't create a virtual wifi while I am connected to a network, I always believed that another wireless network adapter was required for this?

Quick background Story:

I've just moved to Australia and don't know how long I'm going to be staying in this apartment for, therefore I don't want to be put on any long contracts or pay any installation fees. Optus $2 a day ($60/month) unlimited plan works great for me, it however is not permissible to use this in a real wifi hotspot, therefore I have to tether with my phone. The sim was originally in my mums phone, however that was destroyed during the storm that hit QLD a few weeks ago. I can't use the sim in my phone (i9000, wifi hotspot works perfect) because then my folks won't be able to use net while I'm out. The only viable options at this point looks like

A new wifi adaptor for my laptop, to share via Joikuspot

A cheap android phone to dedicate to wifi hotspot

Inb4 someone says I'm a network hog, yes I have an unlimited plan, yes I tether with it, no I don't download huge files with it, and Optus throttles during peak times anyway. (My phone on another prepaid cap works at normal speeds during peak times)

Edit, here are some images could possibly be related to the dial up connection refusing to share? (which adapter is being set to the ip address stated?)

Edit2: I had gotten it working perfectly this morning, I then changed USB slots and it no longer works, tried the previous usb again and still no joy :/

Edit3: Fixed it, reinstalled nokia drivers, restarted computer like 1000 times, restarted internet connection sharing service on windows a couple times, created a dialup connection manually and set it to allow all users to connect (most important I believe)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Good that you fixed yourself.

Also, it not true that you need another wifi adapter when you want to create a Virtual WiFi when connected to actual WiFi connection.

And what you showed in screen shot is actually quite normal.
[Galaxy S II General] Aadilnz:
Yea that screenshot had nothing to do with my problem, it was just the "dial up" connection created by Nokia PC Suite refused to share, a manual one had to be created.

I probably can't use virtual wifi when it's connected to an actual wifi because the "actual wifi" is also an ad-hoc network. I always get one of the error messages that you describe in your original post and re-enabling the wifi adapter doesn't help, anyway it's no big deal, all is working now, thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II General] bdesja1:
Yeah, perhaps a little better. We'll only know if you get no other confusion on that point (but perhaps it was only me, anyway). Thanks!

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

Thanks, ggfairy. I set up the wifi already using the original guide and was tired of having to go into the steps to set it up on each reboot (actually my technophobe girlfriend was the one having issues). It seems I can use your GUI in conjunction with the original setup and have it set as an admin straight away. Good solution! :good:

if anyone kindly help me.

whenever i click ok on after sharing the connection i got this pop up window.

i'm using android 4.2.2 while my laptop have two wifi router and the internet is from the usb wifi router.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I guess your setup is as below:

2 wifi router - connected to laptop, out of which 1 is connected to laptop with LAN and another one is connected through USB. You are getting the internet through USB?

And by looking at screen shot all I can say is that you have put a static IP address to your LAN connection which is actually required for internet sharing.

Actually, on which adapter were you trying to share the internet?
[Galaxy S II General] arfasyrf:
ok. i managed to make the ad hoc works. when i try connecting to the wifi from another laptop. the internet works. but on my phone. the internet doesnt works while the wifi is connected.
[Galaxy S II General] BoRiSGz:
Thank you!

Was testing it with my win 7 and s2.

Its working great for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
That's weird because if internet is coming in another device connected through virtual wifi, then even the phone should have the internet. In your phone, go to settings - wifi settings - advanced to check the IP address. It should be similar to 192.168.127.xxx
[Galaxy S II General] arfasyrf:
this is the ip from the virtual wifi.

but when i check on my phone ip address it show 192.168.173.248
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Sorry. In my previous message I typed 127 instead of 137.

So in your phone too it should be similar to 192.168.137.xxx

In phone try setting a static IP to 192.168.137.10

Actually this should have happened auto as dynamic IP. But since you tell another laptop is fine under virtual wifi try the above static IP in phone.
[Galaxy S II General] arfasyrf:
still the same. the wifi is connected but the internet is broken.

edit : my bad. forget to shared the internet. now it is working. thanks a lot!

extra problem

Thank you for this very useful post! I have completed all the above steps. But i am having an extra problem. my phone connects with this virtual network that is giving full signals but the connection speed is too slow to open anything on my phone. i checked the status of this "Virtual Miniport Adapter" which i just created with your help, and it says that "IPv4 connectivity: no internet access / IPv6 connectivity: no internet access". Please guide further how to get actual speed on this network!

Noob :p

My phone stays on Obtaining IP adress and can't connect =/ any tip ?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Share the internet to the adapter properly to fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] Glowing_Potato:
I did exactly as this.

e. Now identify the one which is connected to your LAN network where internet is accessed (this can be LAN adapter, WiFi adapter or even dialup connection in case of tethering)

f. Double click on that connection identified under step (e)

g. Click on "Properties"

h. Click on "Sharing" tab

i. Tick on "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet Connection"

j. Under the drop down list for "Home networking connection" select "Wireless Network Connection 2" [or which ever it is in your case]

k. Click on OK and close all the dialogue boxes

My phone CAN connect but the wireless indicator stays grey and can't access internet.

Getting "The hosted network couldn't be started. The group or resource is"

2 - Insufficient resources error

You might also get an error stating as below when you try the "Step 3":

This can happen if the Virtual WiFi Miniport adapter is not working properly. Try the below steps to resolve it:

a. Under network connections, if you already have a Virtual WiFi Miniport adapter then make sure its not disabled. If yes enable it back by right clicking and selecting enable.

b. OR - if you don't find the WiFi Miniport adapter at all then do as below:

i. Open Run and type "devmgmt.msc" and press enter

ii. Now you will get Device Manager window. Here expand the Network Adapters tab.

iii. Identify the actual WiFi adapter and right click on it and select disable.

iv. Now right click on it again and select enable

After this the adapter settings will have rested and the "Step 3" should be a no problem.

Hi bro,

I getting this "The hosted network couldn't be started.

The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation."

error while after troubleshooting. I don see any virtual wifi adapter in my network and sharing center also in device manager. I used Microsoft

Hotfix to fix this prob bt it in vain. Plz give a solution. I need to upgrade my android 2.3.6 version. I am using win7 and hp dv 1000 laptop.

You saved a lot of lifes here. My padfone 2 has edge connection in US so It was very painful to use it at work.

Anyways,

Some android devices may have automatic IP issue. I have seen that this issue addressed in earlier comments. This happened for I9500 device but worked when I changed to static IP.

It works for Padfone 2 perfectly though.

Thanks again.

Sharing problem

Hey guys!

First post so bear with me!

I'm in spain at a hotel and trying to share my laptops connection (wired) so that I can use my phone(s) and all the other gear.

I've followed the steps as best I could however am unable to obtain IPs. I am VERY sure this is because I have not shared the connection correctly however when ticking the share this connection on Ethernet1 I am not given a dropdown box to select the virtual tunnel but instead I get a text box with my wireless adapters name in it. I am unable to type in the text box so cannot share it. Am I missing something? Sorry to be such a pain!

Hello,

first of all thank you for this guide. It worked for me but since a few days it does not work anymore and I'm sure I didn't change anything.

I can still connect my android device but I have no internet access. So I checked the properties of my Local Area Connection. I clicked on the tab "Shareing" and there's the problem. There is no drop down menu. "Wireless network connection" is selected and I can't change it. But the virtual WIFI miniport adapter is called "Wireless network connection 2" so I have to change it to that but I can't.

Any help would be much appreciated.

For those non-Windows Users

There is this neat tool called AP-Hotspot from webupd8, it works flawlessly if you follow all the instructions, it should work on any major architecture (Aside Ubuntu 14.04 and Raspberry pi which need some changes)

http://www.webupd8.org/2013/06/how-to-set-up-wireless-hotspot-access.html

it basically does the same as the windows counterparts (just with linux gives alot more fine-tuning if you can fiddle around a bit)

No Internet Connection

Hello everyone,

so.. I followed every step of the guide and I could connect my Samsung Galaxy S3 with the Wifi i created.

But however.. I don't have a internet connection on my S3.

I double checked the shared connection of my local adapter, and it's fine. I share it with my Wireless Adapter 2.

Any1 knows why I don't have a internet connection on my S3, even if the wifi works fine?

Got static ip set.

Hope I was clear enough :D

Something to make setup a bit easier

I've written a program that automates most of this setup for you (everything but ICS configuration). It also installs a small Windows service that automatically starts the hotspot on system startup, and after resuming from sleep.

If this project gets enough attention, I'll consider trying to automate ICS configuration, and maybe even build a GUI. Hope it helps! Enjoy!

Problem

Hi,

I did set it up according to the guide and I managed to see the new network on my phone Lumia (which I could not before), although it did not have the SSID name that I gave but my computer name (I can live with that).

The phone shows that it is connected to the wifi but cannot connect go on line. No internet, no mails.

Any ideas?

[short update]

Although it was referring to this error I tried the disable/enable "real" wireless adapter tip of the troubleshooting. This made that the SSID name was actually what I gave, but the problem persists.

Also my wired connection has a proxy server. I tried to make the same proxy server on the phone connection too but without success.

Thanks, N

Solved the "Obtaining IP address" problem

I was one of those that made it work and, after a few days, could not get IP again.

Ok, this worked for me:

Firstly, I disabled and re-enabled hosted network (I don't know if this makes any change, but since I did it, I tell you just in case).

Open a new command prompt as admin and write

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow

Create the hosted network again, as explained.

Voilà.

Hi Guys,

I've been reading how to unlock my ICS Sola but so far I have not been able to do it. I tried to post my question in the development forum but I am new here so I could not post there. I am following this thread by B4nary: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460&page=73

I've already unlocked the bootloader without trouble.

But I can not root the phone :(

This is what I do. I enable USB debugging, I start the script and then I select Normal. (i tried the special setting without success either)

It tells me to connect my phone via USB, so I do it. It displays that the daemon is not running. Then it displays that the deamon in starting on port 5037.And then it displays that the daemon has started successfully.

And that's it. It never displays anything else. The cursos just keeps blinking no matter how long the shell runs for. Why is that ?

I use Windows 7 , I turn off AVG completely.

If it makes any difference I do not have PC companion installed on my computer.

I have not had the chance to do any updates via SUS yet. I can not answer that question either. Sorry. PC Companion says only that I have the latest software updates and that's it. However I was able to use all PC companion apps with my rooted Sola (back up and restore, file manager, etc).

I have been using a custom ROM for more than 4 months now,

However I am not sure if custom ROMs have weaker wireless strength than stock ROMs?

While using custom ROMs (Sense/Senseless/Viper/ARHD &etc) my wireless signal from my room is very weak, but I have also forgotten that if the stock ROM was as weak as these ROM.

ps. I am not questioning the custom ROM listed, but a general comparison of Custom ROM vs Stock ROM wireless strength.
[HTC One X] iang265:
I've recently switched from stock to custom. First ARHD and then CM10. Neither has caused a noticeable change in signal strength for me.

I have heard that on Jelly Bean roms, the wireless has improved considerabely. I cannot say this for sure as I cannot yet install it. If you are lucky enough and happy to upgrade I would go try it out.
