If you are using WMWifiRouter you do not have to do any registry tweaking.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DotStig:
Thanks Chainfire, perhaps I'm doing something wrong....When I run the intshrui.exe I don't have any connections that I can select, it's blank. What all do I have to do to get this to work. I copied the Intshare.dll file into the folder where the ishare_over_wifi is. Am I missing something along the lines here?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
If you are using WMWifiRouter you should do NONE of those things.

- Create you're ad-hoc network in WiFi connections

- Run WMWifiRouter

All there is to it. All those registry hacks and other files are only necessary if you want to do the hack MANUALLY. The only thing you might need is those Sprint specific registry settings, if you are a Sprint customer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
i have used this latest version and also have upgraded the ROM on the sprint mogul to 2.17 and they both play well together. chain's latest version is pretty intuitive and nifty! wow it gets better.... nice job bro!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
My question is, can you put the device on standby while the connection remains now? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
just so im clear, do you mean just shutting the screen off?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Yes - by pressing the power button.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DotStig:
Hey Chainfire, are you using this on the Dash? If so, does the fact that it gets disconnected when my device goes on standy by have anything to do with my home/display screen time settings?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
No I'm on Kaiser (TyTN II). The two don't have anything to do with eachoter though. You could try with the latest WMWifiRouter version (like 4 posts back), which did enable that functionality for the Kaiser.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
Hey Chainfire. I just tried this new version on my Mogul, running the 2.17 ROM and 1.47.01 Radio, and the app works good... until I suspend the device. I hit the power button. The screen goes off. Internet works for about 30 seconds then pages start timing out. I turn the Mogul back on, and try to browse to a website with PIE and it also gives me page not found. I shut all the programs down, and then restart WMWIFIROUTER but it locks up this time, and forces me to soft reset. Any thoughts on this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
So there's definitely no way at all to make the phone appear as a regular wireless network (non ad-hoc), correct? I just got a portable media device with WiFi capabilities but it doesn't recognize ad-hoc networks :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
It's weird that your page only stop working after 30 seconds. I have a few thoughts on why this could be, but I'm not entirely sure.

Can you do this for me:

- (mobile) start WMWifiRouter and connect (if not autoconnect)

- (pc) wait until everything is connected and your internet is working through the mobile device

- (pc) start -> run -> "cmd" -> "ping www.google.com -t"

- (mobile) push the power button for standy

- count the seconds until the ping program says it doesn't work

The number of seconds makes a big difference to me as what are possible causes! Thanks in advance. Also, please tell me which WM version you are running, 5 or 6?

(Meh I wish I had more mobile devices, before my TyTN II I had two Wizards but I gave them both away to friends)

There is CURRENTLY no known way to turn the device into infrastructure mode. So yes, there is currently only ad-hoc. What you are saying is a common problem with different devices though, unfortunately it seems only about half the devices in 'common use' support ad-hoc. I have been, and still am, looking into that, though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
Thanks a lot for your reply. I am running Windows Mobile 6, the newest ROM from just a few days ago.

I ran the ping test you suggested, and came up with an even 15 seconds every time before it would disconnect. I really hope this is something that can be fixed, because my device can't charge as fast as it can drain unfortunately...

I appreciate your help Sir, and the wonderful program is well appreciated ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Hi all,

I just installed this little router, and got it to work exactly once ... very nice app I must say ... now when I try to connect I get arbitrary IP address, and not one in the correct range of 192.168.0.x to be able to use the HSDPA connection
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Hmm well 15 seconds after the screen goes blank sounds suspiciously like a timeout somewhere (if it was really because the power button push you'd expect it to happen after 1 or 2 seconds).

Please check your power settings for screen off, standby mode etc. Do you have one of them set to 15 seconds? It is unlikely but it could have something to do with it. Also, do you have a program or tweak that turns off your data connection after 15 seconds?

Please try the ping test from my earlier post again, but instead of "ping www.google.com -t" do "ping 192.168.0.1 -t". (Note that the ping should be around 150ms or so, not around 10, if that happens you're not pinging the phone). This may tell us which connection is being dropped. It could be that your WiFi connection isnt being dropped, but your data connection is, though WMWifiRouter should reconnect that, I apparently messed up there.

Have you turned on encryption by any chance? If so please turn it off again and test again, there are some issues with it. I assume you mean your PC is getting the wrong IP address? 169.x.x.x? What does your WiFi tray icon say? Connected or no?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Hi Chainfire,

I switched off encryption, and that does seem to work. Yes, the PC gets some 169.x.x.x IP address, and the tray icon shows connected, but with the funny IP. Oh wait, I don't think the encryption is the only culprit ... I did have that off, and had the same hassle. However, under your Network Adapters in the Wi-Fi app, I changed the option of what the adapters connect to (The Internet/Work) to Work, and after that it started working.

On the standby issue, I am also having issues on a WM6 TyTN. When it goes into standby, the connection drops, and the TyTN hangs requiring a soft reset. I will also try to ping test to give you some feedback on that

Thanks for all the effort ... great app!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Ah yes that must be set to "Work", I have noticed that before. May have to put that in the troubleshooting FAQ :) Looking forward to your results!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Yeah, I think the Work setting enforces some sort of DHCP scan, as that is what most offices are set up to use.

With regards to the testing of the connection drop:

The connection stays up when I press the power button, and the device restores to its normal connected state when you press the power button again to get it out of standby. My previous disconnect was on the Automatic Standby timer (which is set to 5 minutes). I am coming up to that 5 minute threshold soon, so ... and there we have it ... it dropped the connection completely, as in my PC is not connected to the Wireless network anymore.

The right hand green light still flashes, but the phone responds to none of the keys. The other thing is, after the soft reset to revive the device, the WLAN is still active.

Ok, so I hope that helps a bit :D

EDIT: I changed the connection again to use encryption, and it is working fine ... so I reckon it is the Work/The Internet setting. Also, I am past the 5 minute ... oops, ok I am not. Even when putting the phone in manual standby mode by pressing the power button, it drops the connection/hangs after the pre-set auto standby period, the 5 minutes in my case
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
That's probably it yeah, good call.

Hmm so if I understand this correctly, you can put the device in standby and it keeps working for 5 minutes and then it stops?

Please try this test version: -url removed, obsolete-

It does. About the WLAN, you may notice it now stays on when you press standby. That is because the tool has not correctly cleaned up after itself with the power tweak. I will fix this in the next release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Well, actually either way. Whether the phone is in "full on" mode or in "forced standby" (pressing the power button), it will disconnect and hang when it reaches the 5 minute auto-off threshold
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Ok, I am trying this, and the phone's been "full on" for quite some time now. Did you change something that it doesn't go into auto-off mode?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Yes. You should try forcing it into standby.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
Here is a pic of the command prompt when pinging with 192.168.0.1...

...Now, if I press the power button while this is logging, it times out immediately upon the button press. I also just reran the google.com ping, and upon pressing the button I get an instant timeout now! *insert scratching head smiley here*

All of the power options are disabled now, so the only way it can kick into standby is by me forcing it there. Aside from that the ROM is pretty well stock. As a general rule I don't change anything in the registry, aside from the Sprint RILPHONE.dll entry to kill the error 67 message.

On a side note - when the timeouts happen now, I can simply press the quit button in WMwifirouter and restart it again to get the connection running. So thats making it easier to test... other than that it seems to be having a bear of a time connecting internet sharing on its own. It seems most often I am forced to open IS and click start myself.

What next boss? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Hmm strange it used to work for 15 seconds and now it doesn't work at all... hmm *scratches head*.

Sorry if it doesn't connect ICS for you, I will see about tweaking that bit again. When you open IS do you task-switch to it or run it through the menu? You should task-switch. May not make a difference though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
Thanks alot for the reply, Chainfire.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
I have rebooted a couple of times and reran all the tests, and now I get reproducible results. Both tests, whether I am pinging www.google.com or 192.168.0.1, immediately timeout as soon as I press the power button.

Also, as if it weren't strange enough, it seems that it is activating Internet sharing rather consistently now. I haven't changed a thing, so I don't know why it's acting like this... Anyway before when Internet sharing was having a hard time turning itself on, I would always task-switch to fire it up. I figure the less steps the better.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this for me, it's really appreciated. You see I drive a semi truck for five to six days every week, and as it stands I currently have a USB headset, a USB WebCam, a USB GPS receiver, and also my Mogul plugged into the USB on my laptop. As you can imagine it's a bit of a spaghetti mass of wires in here. Being able to get maximum throughput via WiFi and also being able to remotely tuck my phone away would be very beneficial to me :)

Thanks again buddy!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Seems to work perfectly for me now. It doesn't go into standby after the 5 minutes, neither does it drop the connection if I forced standby and the 5 minute period has passed.

Thanks Chainfire!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
ok so that file chain asked you to try or "test".. is that working correctly for sprint-mogul-new-rom users? i have not been able to test anything but reading the results here....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
I haven't tried the file he posted as the test yet as I am not so sure that it was directed towards my problem specifically. I will say though, that I am game to try just about anything at this point. :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Not sure if that was to sort out your problem, but it might be related. I am on a HTC TyTN (Hermes) here in South Africa.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
It might help you out somewhat, as the power management seems to differ in that test one ... then again, I wasn't having your problem on my TyTN when pressing the Power button, so I can be wrong
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
yeah i was having the issue that when i turned the phone off, the connection would drop. now i use my mogul for the ipod touch, not a pc ( i have a sprint air card for that). i would turn the phone on and the WLAN icon up top would stay on even after the hardware switch was turned off for the wifi... i thought in an above post that the test program solved the issue about the phone losing connection when the screen is turned of...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
It could be a timing issue, I have adjusted the timings a bit for you.

-url removed, obsolete-

EDIT: Try it a couple of times and wait a few seconds after the connection is established.

EDIT #2: And please guys, be so kind as to put the type of device you have in your signature, that really helps :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
Just tried the new version. The actual activation of IS works flawlessly now, and I don't need to intervene with any button presses. This is nice...

Here is a screenshot of CMD prompt again, running a bit longer...

http://www.krayziepop.com/random/cmdprompt1.jpg

...notice the random timeouts? Not sure whats causing those - but it still dies immediately and completely upon pressing power.

I blame Sprint... :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Hmm OK so current status is:

- TyTN II: works

- TyTN: works

- Mogul: doesn't work

We need some more mogul users to test :D

The random timeouts, yeah I have that too, try "ping <address> -t -w 10000" that should help. BTW I see again you are pinging google, does 192.168.0.1 also immediately drop when you press the power button?

EDIT: Never mind, you said so earlier :D Still strange that it USED to work for 15 seconds for you... *scratches head 'til he's bald*
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
I just dropped a post over at PPCGeeks to try and spur some Mogul users over here for testing. Hopefully they will join the party! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
v0.73 (maintenance release)

Ok let's just release this as v0.73, maintenance release

changes since v0.70

- Adjustments in power tweak

- Adjustments in timings

- Added registry tweaks for Sprint users

- Put the configurable options in a menu

- Added some code that cleans up your registry if the program crashed or you needed to soft-reset

- Code cleaned up

Guess that's it 'til we hear from more people how the standby functionality works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
ok. im going to try your latest update and start form scratch. ill run the app, then make sure the ipod itouch is connected.. wait a few seconds then turn off the screen. FYI i dont have my phone set to turn off ever. it just dims the screen but is still on. just fyi.. im going to test now

i have a sprint mogul with the 2.17 latest ROM. no reg edits other than deleting the 67 issue and also i set those other three entries to 0...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
also, i am downloading it from your site... OR do i need to download it from the link you posted here earlier?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Yes, use the one my site. You don't have to do those registry edits anymore, the latest version does these for you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
yeah i got it from the site and i saw it said .73 at the start..

ok.. connected fine...

waited 30 seconds...

turned screen off.

was ok for a few seconds then ipod would not go to any sites.

the ipod touch still showed it was connected to the adhoc network but..

looked at the ip and it now says 169.254.168.40

mogul has screen off.

turned screen on, hit "renew lease" on ipod touch..nothing

turn wifi off and back on on the touch...

look at ip on ipod touch and its the same as above

hit "renew lease" and same IP.

so i quit chains app but leave the WLAN hardware switch on...

ipod touch still sees the adhoc connection i made, even after switching the wifi off and on on the ipod touch (chains program is not running but the WLAN switch is on on the mogul)

restart chains program and the ipod grabs a working ip ending in .0.2

again im running sprint mogul with latest 2.17 ROM no registry edits other than what chain recommends in his tutorial at first post...

what i DO notice is the program does clean up after itself nicely and the WLAN icon goes away at the top of the moguls screen as it should. previous program would keep the icon up top even though the WLAN hardware switch was set to off. so app is much cleaner and leaner... only issue is mogul users cant turn the screen off when this is going on... for now.. :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] remofo:
Thanks Chainfire

I've been using this constantly since you released the first version & it keeps getting better. This is the only way I know to get high speed mobile connectivity on the iPot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
OT....

is "ipot" shorthand for ipod touch? ive seen that on a couple of ipod forums... curious :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] remofo:
Yes, I think it is analogous to 'Crackberry'.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Thanks! Please let me know if the standby functionality works for you and on what device you are running it! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 944LT1:
Confused??

I'm trying to set this up on Verizon XV6800 and just have a question....Do I need to install ishare or is wmwifirouter all that is needed.

Thanks,

Robert
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
All you need to do is set up an ad-hoc connection (once) and run WMWifiRouter.exe (as often as you like).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Man it's mindboggling. I need a Mogul I can play with :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
v0.74 maintenance release

changes since v0.73

- Changed the way ICS is launched and forced to connect (hopefully this will end the manual-connect issue once and for all)

- Added code to prevent multiple instances

- Added an icon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
hey chain, you are really doing a great job. it fascinates me how you guys can do this stuff.. working with code and such... its .. well... mindboggling! (couldnt resist).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
LOL, thank you :) It's a craft that takes lots of time to learn and then lots and lots of time to do. Somebody donate me a life! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
the icon was a nice add. now i can put a shortcut on my screen a link right to it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
aye you know whats cute... when chains app opens up the ics screen. you see the connect button highlight as if a ghost is tapping on the screen for you... haa thats a cute little touch... lol im easy like sunday morning to please i guess...:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] borealcool:
I beg to disagree. You don't need a Mogul because then you would be coding for one of the sloppiest Qualcomm 7x based devices HTC has put to market. You're doing just fine :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dkramarc:
Verizon Samsun SCH-i760

Anyone have luck running this on a Verizon Samsung SCH-i760?

I am using WiFiRouter .074, setup a shared connection (IP: 192.168.0.1), and made my own hacked intshare.dll for WLAN device: SWLD25SP1

I start WiFiRouter, hit Connect, then if the WiFi is on it turns it off (if it's off same problem),

then when it gets to "Waiting for connection", a bubble dialog comes up with the following:

Cannot Connect: Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. [Settings/Dismiss]

The WiFi state seems to not turn back on, as I don't see the WiFi icon on the top windows title bar. And if I go to the Wireless Manager

on the device the WiFi option is no longer there (Just Phone and Bluetooth). To get the WiFi option back on I need to soft-reset the

device.

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Do NOT use hacked DLL's, just use the originals! Try again that way. If the problem persists, ask again :)

I think you misunderstand the opening post: you EITHER use WMWifiRouter OR do all those registry tweaks and hacked files. You do not use them in combination! The only thing you have to do is create the ad-hoc connection in your wifi settings and start WMWifiRouter.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Park82:
Standby mode

On my TYTN the wifi connection still gets turned off when going on standby...

WM6

ROM v 3.54.255.3

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Are you using the latest release for the WiFiRouter? When you say going on standby, do you mean by pressing the power button, or the auto off timer?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] remofo:
Hey Chainfire

The standby function doesn't work for me...I tried it a few times by hitting the power button. I'm using an HTC P3600i.

The standby function will make this a truly great app...can't wait.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LandyMan:
Quick update in the TyTN:

I am running 0.74 now ... it stays connected when the phone is "on", ie no forced standby. When I force standy, it still kills the connection after the 5 minute preset
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dustinyang:
hi, i want use wifi phone as a USB-WLAN-Adapter, so if i went outside and i don't need bring any USB-WLAN-Adapter more then wifi phone. how could i do it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Meh, I am going slightly insane here! I need a break :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
i really disagree. the mogul is just as good or better as the previous models (67,66 and hitachi). i have zero issues with my version of the mogul, so ill take your opinion as form your experience....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Park82:
Yes I am running the latest release, happens when I perss the power button.

By the way, do you know where I can set the auto off timer interval?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Well you can't do this with WMWifiRouter, but nevertheless it may be possible. This thread is about hacking the "Private Interface" of internet sharing, you want to change the "Public Interface". It would require some research to get it to work though.
