I apologize for not making it all the way through this whole thread so forgive me if this has been mentioned. I think it would be quite helpful to n00bs if the app went ahead and setup the ad-hoc connection as well. This can be done fairly simply with the following xml. Just a suggestion.

my experience

I just wanted to share my experience as i stumbled across this brilliant piece of application..

I was finally done with all my finals and decided to log on to the forum again and catch up on what i had missed..

I had been watching this thread from the beginning, but had not tried to implement it.. for various reasons..

when i saw the title of the post.. i think i must have said "HOLY $H!T about 5 times...

then when i downloaded it i think i said it about 10 more times..

context

i am at my (girl) friend/coworker's house.. who is not technically inclined, but thinks it's 'adorable' that i am..

/context

When i got the app to connect to MY wifi laptop.. i jumped up and down about 5 times and said HOLY... about 20 more times...

then i freaked out some more as SHE was able to connect to my phone.. I told her to yank her sprint EVDO rev A aircard out of her laptop...

and she still had connectivity.. so while i'm about to crap my pants, she's finally realizing the coolness of it..

yeah.. i had to go smoke a cig then.. .to keep my head from exploding...

I thought it was ridiculous that WM ICS did not include this capability in the first place..

and now.. I am so glad i have a WM phone..

The MOGUL now officially kicks the no-wifi-having touch's ASS!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

(in oklahoma, as i'm sure others have heard, we have had the worst power outage in the state's history due to a terrible freeze last Sunday.. I had Internet at my house for about a day.. as i had an APC backup on my net equipment... but IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN ABOUT THIS THEN!!!! )

Thanks again..

I know this post may not make any sense but i am so incredibly ecstatic right now....

(posting this from the ad-hoc wifi connection on my mogul!!!))

I'm glad you like it. Please consider donating ;)

Not only is it really a word, it's "word of the year 2007"

BTW: I'm only on GPRS speed myself :( 64kpbs (but no data limit... I really need to get a beter data plan =p)

fatal error - rebind: fail message

hi

great idea and great work on this!

I am having problems getting 0.81 to work on a blackjack i600 running WM5......... i get a fatal error message when I run wmwifirouter.

When I check the log there is a rebind: fail message

any thought?

thanks

Tilt me knot

Ok, I'm stumped.

Got a new At&t Tilt. (3 weeks old) Oem Rom (1.27.12.11). Original ICS files. WMWifiRouter v0.81

I can get an adhoc network connection just fine between Tilt and laptop. Can ping the Tilt on 192.168.0.1 from fixed ip on laptop.

When I start WMWifiRouter, it comes up totally normally, and indicates it has Connected. But the laptop then loses the adhoc connection. If I try starting the WMWifiRouter without the laptop in a connected state, it never associates to the Tilt's adhoc even if I force it to try to associate again.

Another WM device running WiFifoFum2 shows my Tilt adhoc until I start WMWifiRouter up. The Tilt's Wifi seems to still be on, as the icon shows it being enabled.

Ok, hammer me...but I'd reaaaally like to figure this out soon. Seems like a few folks here have had success with Tilt's so where I am I screwed up? :)

Can't connect; PC stuck Acquiring Address

:( I have the same problem as "kd4z" (see below): I can't connect, can't surf & I'm stumped too.

I did the adhoc setting on my AT&T 8525.

After starting WMWifiRouter & trying to connect my WinXP notebook PC to my adhoc wireless connection, it gets stuck on "Acquiring Address" and never connects. However, I can connect to my adhoc network when WMWifiRouter is not running.

All seems to be fine on my PDA: WMWifiRouter shows connected.

I also tried to connect with my Vista desktops wireless conection... no go there either.

My Technical Details:

I have a AT&T 8528 (hermes - Model HERM100, pocket PC platform)

Running Windows Mobile 5.0 with the messaging and security feature pack

OS 5.1.478 (build 15706.3.5.2)

ROM Ver: 2.15.502.3

ROM Date: 04/09/07

Connected to my company VPN, running Good-Link messenger

Any Sugestions ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
This means the WLAN chip is not responding to WMWifiRouter saying "hey you, reload all your settings from the registry!". Have you tried this multiple times and does it keep saying it? Or just half the time?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
As for everyone else having trouble, try turning WiFi OFF a few seconds before running WMWifiRouter.

If that doesn't help at all, there's obviously something either I am overlooking in the code or you guys are overlooking in setup. As you can understand this is hard to debug if I can't reproduce the problem :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kd4z:
ok, I went thru the steps again and tried a few things. The only thing I found that is weird is that after I close the Router app, the ip address for the IEEE WiFi adapter is wiped out. It is still set for "Use Specific address", but the number is blank.

The ip number is present after the Router app is launched and connected, but the adhoc network is silent (monitored it using netstumbler) It gets wiped out when the Router app is closed.

Before launching the Router app, I can get the adhoc network to connect to the laptop. I even tried manually launching ICS, connect, and then close and the ip number is still ok in the wifi adapter. So it doesn't seem to be ICS that is clearing it.

Two other things I noticed. In the Configure Wireless Networks screen, I have two adhoc networks listed. One I made called tiltadhoc and one I didn't create called megahoc.v24. Where did this one come from? Should I delete it?

Also, when I manually start the WiFi adhoc network outside of using the Router App, Netstumbler shows one adhoc network called tiltadhoc that appears for a few seconds then goes silent, then the megahoc.v24 comes up and it too lasts a few seconds then goes silent, then the tiltadhoc one pops up and stays running. Note that all three announce with different MAC addresses. Weirder yet, every time I cycle the WiFi off and on, I get three new, sequencially assigned MACs-- never the same each time.

But, if I turn off the WiFi, then start the Router App, the Wifi icon does reappear, but Netstumbler doesn't detect any new activity.

Clear as mud right?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
It is strange yeah.. I have no idea where that megahoc.v24 came from, so I cannot advise you to delete it. You could try deleting the new ad-hoc network you made yourself though, and see what happens then.

Question about battery life

Hi,

This solution intrigues me greatly so much so that I'd be considering getting a new phone and HSDPA contract so I can share a connection over WiFi to my new Nokia N810.

One thing eludes me though which is battery life - is this solution even possible to run on battery or only if the phone is plugged into the mains.

If it can be run on battery what kind of times are people getting assuming the phone is not used for much more than just wifi sharing etc. e.g. in "standby mode"

If you can get a decent battery life on this (say 2hr plus on full charge) then a new phone might just be my next purchase!

Oh yeah and does this work for smartphones as well as pocket PC's and if so has anyone tried it with the new HTC S730?

Thanks,

Matthew.

Feature request

[Feature request]

I am using WMWifiRouter v0.8. In my case, WMWifiRouter works fine except wireless-network IP 192.168.0.1.

I try to set the wifi network ip (like 192.168.0.9) but WMWifiRouter modify it back to 192.168.0.1 when it starts so that I have to set it again manually.

Is that possible that WMWifiRouter can add an option of setting wireless-network IP? Thanks~
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ichilton:
Hi,

Will this work on a HP Ipaq (running WM5) which is connected to the internet via Bluetooth to a Nokia mobile phone?

I have unlimited internet on my mobile (currently Nokia N73 but soon to be N95 8GB) and am wanting to get my iPod Touch online when i'm out and about.

I'm thinking I could connect my HP Ipaq to the internet over bluetooth to the mobile (already working) but use this to then share it with the iPod Touch via Wifi.

Will this work?

Thanks

Ian
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brisman:
Hi

Thanks for the reply - it does this everytime! I have tried restoring the device to original settings, etc to make sure there no custom config causing the issues, restarting, etc, etc.

I can get an ad hoc wireless connection working ok, I can get to the web (email and browsers) from the device just cant get WMWIFI to work.

thanks

WMWifiRouter Works with Macbook

A Very Nice Solution - works flawlessly connecting my Intel Macbook to my Cingular 8525 (HTC Hermes)

This is particularly useful as there doesn't seem to be a way to tether with a USB cable to my mac, and bluetooth was throttling the 3G connection on the PAN enough to be annoying.

I've used WMWifiRouter on Edge here in the countryside, can't wait to try it on 3G at work in the big city....

Kudos. I'll be donating to the cause.

For WM5 pre AKU3.5?

Is there any way to enable internet sharing on WM5 pre AKU3.5? I use i730

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pasukin:
If you're referring to \Windows\IntShrUI.exe, then yes, it is installed. It came pre-installed on my AT&T Tilt.

Using v0.81, the phone hangs as soon as WMWIFiRouter says "Starting ICS." It made it past that point just once. I believe it said "Waiting for Connection" but I can't be sure. At that point, as soon as I clicked on Options the phone locked up again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Just a short note, it seems to me that there are one or two 'structural' problems somewhere that are the base for the troubles some of you are having. I just wanted to let you know that my vacation starts in a few days. And yes I will probably be reading and posting here on XDA, but I will not be on my development machine. So these issues will probably not be solved or further analyzed 'til mid-january.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] igacsi:
hi chainfire,

i tried your program with my ipod touch but is very slow to see internet pages... too slow for a 3g connection. I have a Tytn2 with wmwifirouter 0.81.

Can you help me? i have tried to disable bluetooth but nothing

thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
igaci, thats more on your cellular carrier than chains program.

his program can speed up the slow 3G connection...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GrandMstrBud:
I tried this on my HTC S621 running WM6 and it works great. All I had to do was download WMWifiRouter v0.80 and put that on my HTC and then download and install the IP profile Manager CAB file and set the IP address and restart my phone. As soon as it came back on I just ran the WMWifiRouter.exe from my phone and connected up through my laptop perfect. Hopefully I'm not missing anything because I seen some mentions of hacked .dll files but I didn't have to do anything different. Will this work the same on a Mogul, Touch, or Moto Q? Just curious because this will help me decide which sprint phone I will get as my current one is almost 2 years old.

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NetrunnerAT:
Importent Future Request! We need a DHCP Server :-p

I dont like to set up IP Adresses! ICS can act as DHCP Server! Here the Infos via MS! Windows CE 5.0 is the Core System for Windows Mobile 5.0, 6.0 and 6.1!

Next Future Request is a Bluetooth Version or a Version you can switch betwen different Networkcards!

Enabling the DHCP Allocator

Windows Mobile -

Windows Embedded CE

11/15/2007

The following procedures show how to enable and manage the DHCP allocator included with ICS.

To enable the DHCP allocator

Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\EnableDhcpAllocator registry key equal to a non-zero value.

Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface registry key to a list of private interfaces that you want to enable the DHCP allocator on.

If the list contains multiple private interfaces, those interfaces all must have the same subnet value in their IP addresses.

To configure the DHCP allocator

Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\DhcpAllocationStartRange registry key equal to the lowest IP address in a range of addresses that the DHCP Allocator should assign. This value should not contain subnet information. It should contain only the least significant bits in the IP address range.

For more information, see Connection Sharing Registry Settings.

Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\DhcpAllocationEndRange registry key equal to the highest IP address in a specified range that the DHCP Allocator should assign. This value should not contain subnet information. It should contain only the least significant bits in the IP address range.

To change the length of time for which the DHCP allocator assigns addresses

Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\DHCPLeaseTime registry key to the length of time that the allocator will assign addresses.

To keep an address in the address table set permanently

Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\Addresses\IP Address\Expires registry key equal to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.\

To provide additional DHCP options

Set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\<Adapter>\DhcpAllocator\DhcpOptions registry key.

In this registry key, <Adapter> indicates the name of the adapter on which the allocator will send the option. For example, if your device has an NE2000 compatible PCI card, you would type PCI\NE20001.

Set the values for the additional DHCP option.

Note:

You can add additional DHCP options, but you cannot override the values of DHCP allocator standard options.

The registry value name is a decimal number that represents the option. Option data can be any supported registry type. A string value is sent as Unicode. Use hexidecimal, or binary value, for an ANSI string.

The following registry key example shows how to add option 252 that provides information about the automatic configuration file for a web proxy:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PCI\RTL81391\DhcpAllocator\DhcpOptions]

"252"=hex:68,74,74,70,3a,2f,2f,31,39,32,2e,31,36,38,2e,30,2e,31,3a,38,30,38,30,2f,70,72,6f,78,79,2e,70,61,63,00

Charging shuts down

When I use the program, my battery stops charging, no more light. I start with a full charge, green light, and when I enable the program, light goes out and battery discharges. I searched and did not see any others with this problem. I have to soft reset to fix it. Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Nice that it works for you. No, you do not need any of the hacked DLL's. They were used in an older version of doing the hack manually. The point of WMWifiRouter is that you do not have to do those things ;)

Yes, this should work the same on any Windows Mobile device. I don't think the Touch has WiFi though, and I have no idea about the Moto Q. Do note that there are still some issues that prevent this from working for everyone.

They can always detect if they really look, but doesn't your data plan cover this? I mean for $45 you should be allowed to do something :D

It already acts as an DHCP server for me, but you may have just hit the spot on why it doesn't for some people. I will look into this when vacation is over (early January)

Can you give more detail, like what device / windows mobile version, are you connected to computer over USB, etc etc as much detail as possible. I can interpret what you wrote in 11 different ways if I try :)

wicked, nice and easy to set up on my T-Mobile UK Ameo.....

just one question though, has any one worked out a way on the handset to bypass the image proxy that is compressing the pictures? it's been ages since I've used my phone as a modem and I had forgotten how awful the compression is.

thanks heaps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gomus:
Like many here, I have been struggling to get this app to work with a Verizon xv6800. Verizon stripped the ICS from this device to gouge $$ to use their tethering service ($15 per month ON TOP of the $45 unlimited data) Via USB you could use PDANet or USBModem but I have been unable to find something to work with this...until now.

I was bound and determined to get this working and have been playing around with different ROM's for my device. The Alltel ROM has ICS and installing it installs ONLY the OS and leaves the VZW radio alone. I installed the ROM and - PRESTO! - it works.

I've been playing with this for a bit today and all I can say is....Holy Crap!

Thanks for all the work on this!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hunterdg:
you guys ready for this configuration!!

:D:D:D:D

so here's the super fun stuff.. My ISP (Cox Cable) has been down due to crazy power outages for about a week and is not scheduled to be working till after christmas..

at my house we have 2 wifi laptops, and 2 wired boxes.

i was getting sick of letting other people use my wifi laptop to surf the web..(with phone running WMWIFIROUTER) so i decided to play around..

I have a wifi router with infrastructure set up and WPA-PSK (AES) encryption..

instead of doing the whole ad-hoc thing, i set my Mogul to connect to my existing infrastructure wifi, as a client. (as one normally would for wifi connectivity)

i then turned off DHCP on my linksys wifi router..

and then launched WMWIFIROUTER.

all devices on my lan (both wired and wireless) pulled an IP from WMWIFIROUTER's DHCP. (i had to 'ipconfig /renew' the wired ones)

so now my phone sits plugged into it's wall charger as all four computers in my house access the intarweb, fully WPA-PSK AES encrypted!!!. all thanks to chainfire and gang..

i keep finding more and more reason to donate.. i've yet to find a program in any realm that has made me this happy. and the sad thing is, it should've been included with WM from the get-go..

my dream is to simply have an additional option in WM ICS dropdown called "Wifi", as i like to keep things as simple as possible, but I understand that requires crazy hacking knowledge of DLLs and such so I am infinitely satisfied with this little program as is..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jrdejavux:
chainfire I would hope I can do something when im paying 45 dollars for data only, but they also offer tethering for 59.99 so I was wondering if they can tell im using my phone as a modem
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] phupton:
It works a treat on my htc 3600. Thankyou. so much faster than using a usb modem. Dunno why but it is. Another benifit is that the phone redials for me so i dont keep having to reconnect.

got a question though. is there a way to get the backlight to go off to save power? My battery is only lasting 1.5 hours :-(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
I know it's possible yes, but I'm afraid I don't remember how :D

This is good to know, it will end up in the FAQ once I have the time to make one :)

Nice setup you got there :) I'm sorry but what you propose is probably not even possible, even with the hacking of those DLL's. Besides, it is a much cleaner solutions to not use any hacked files.

Well as far as I know, they have not put anything special on the phone to detect this, but it's always detectable on their end if they are really searching for it, by analyzing the network traffic.

Just press the power button :)

I would like to share internet the other way, meaning, I want to share the internet from my laptop. My laptop is connected to wireless network, and I was wondering if I can use internet on the Wing (Herald) [with a Kaiser based ROM] to connect to internet through the laptop...

Please advise.

Thanks!

p.s. The laptop connects much better where it is stationed and then I could use a bigger radius with the Wing...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Subliminal Aura:
:mad: Very angry with this.

This does not turn your phone into an Access Point as hinted - Its a simple ad-hoc connection.

Wifi Access point is a lot more complicated and I doubt if the Kaiser chip supports it.

Oh well back to using bluetooth PAN.

ps No security on the ad-hoc connection ? (edit: retracted you can set this up using the kaisers default wifi interface)
