GREAT app.

I'm having some speed/throughput issues though, and I'm hoping someone can help. I read the troubleshooting tips in post #3 of this thread, and made sure that 1.) Bluetooth is off and 2.) WiFi is set to Best Performance, but my connection is still painfully slooooow. I have a full HSDPA signal, and when I use regular Internet Sharing over Bluetooth with my pc, the connection is very fast (considering it's a mobile phone). But when I connect via WiFi with this app on the same PC, it's much, much slower.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know which adaptor the P3600 uses?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] firedup:
ok, I think I've found it - TNETW1251

I've tried everything here over the past 5 hours and still cant get the bloody thing to work - I'm almost in tears!!!!

1) with the new WMwifirouter.exe app, how much of the old way of getting it to work do you still need to do?

2) I've done as instructed but when I copy the dll into /windows on the device the WMwifirouter will no longer start. When I try to run internet sharing on its own I get the message @the file IntShrUI cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to restor or reinstall this file' Obviously I've tried this but no luck.

When I remove the TNETW1251 intshr dll the wifirouter app will start and I get a 'Connected' OK message - all looks fine but my eee PC still cannot see the new adhoc network.

Any help pleaseeessssssseeeeee?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
WMWifiRouter does not need _any_ hacked files. You didn't need to copy any DLL's to your windows folder at all. Just put the EXE on the phone and run it. If that doesn't work (which it likely wont now that you mucked with the DLLs) something _else_ is wrong.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] firedup:
OK, I started over and it was working it was just my eee pc needed a kick. Tried it on my Vista and worked OK - now up and running.

You guys on this forum are amazing, thankyou.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Eclectic:
If everything is working correctly, should IE and internet access through the phone still be working when WMWifiRouter is running? I'm having trouble getting this to work on my Apache with Helmi_C's original WM6 release, but I also have a damaged miniUSB connector that may be causing problems. No USB rom upgrades 'till I can fix it. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daanmidd:
is it possible to let it turn to a real AP (acces point), and more laptops can log in and acces the internet?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] voiceofid:
great piece of software! for the longest time, i had no way of connecting to the internet via my powerbook g4 on os-x 10.3, this has fixed that, thank you for the detail instructions!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pflatlyne:
Im an idiot,teaches me not to read. The solution for us sprint users was right there for me to see if I had just bothered reading the instructions. It works absolutely perfect now. Its a must have for every mogul user.

To the person who asked if you could hook it up to an access point to let multiple people use it, Im not sure how it will respond with multiple computers requesting from it. The way I have it set up,it IS connected to my linksys router. Heres how I did it with my sprint mogul.

1) Do the registry hacks in the first post to allow it to connect without the errors.

2) Setup the linksys router (should work with any router actually) to have an address of 192.168.0.2 This is so that it will not conflict with the phone.

3) Setup the wireless to have the address 192.168.0.1 I dont know if this is neccessary but its what I did. According to the thread,it should do this anyway.

4) Set the phone to connect to the linksys routers wireless network.

5) Set the PC to connect to the wireless network,but set a static IP of 192.168.0.50 Set its default gateway to be 192.168.0.1, which is the address of the phone. Any number less than 100 will work here as the wireless router by default uses a pool of DHCP addresses from 100 to 200 to assign to clients. Anything less than 192.168.0.100 will not conflict with anything that DHCP assigns. The problem is,anything assigned by DHCP will have the routers address as the default gateway and will not be able to connect to the internet.

You can now connect to the internet from your computer as well as connect to the internal network. Remember that the linksys routers firewall will not work because the phone is connected INSIDE the firewall! You should have a firewall on your computer and shouldn't have anything sensitive on the internal network thats not protected by its own firewall. The only thing that I have is my pinnacle HDTV to go so Im not really worried,the worst they can do is screw up my recording of my tv shows. I dont know what will happen if you try to connect two computers to it at the same time. There might be a limit,or it might work,since I dont have two computers here,I dont know what will happen.

One option to actually get the router on the correct side of the firewall might be a wireless bridge. I havent actually used one so I dont know the specifics,but if you can find one that will allow you to setup an adhoc network,you could use it perhaps to connect the phone to the internet port on the router. You might also be able to do this with two linksys routers. Connect one router the way I described. Set the second routers address to 10.0.0.1 (or just leave it at the default of 192.168.1.1) Plug the internet port of the second router (the one set for 10.0.0.1) to one of the computer ports on the first router. Now set the 10.0.0.1 routers default wan gateway to 192.168.0.1. I haven't tested this as I don't have two routers,so I don't know if it will work as I don't know if having two nat routers between you and the internet will hose the whole thing.

Mine connects then disconnects giving me Error 67..something of my vision name and password incorrect?

Eh?..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
i have to admit i am now seeing this error crop up also. i noticed it in .6 update. i have deleted the key in the registry way back in the beginning stages of this app. any updates taly/chainfire?

sprint mogul 6800 and yes the WLAN switch is on..:-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Im on a sprint mogul, and it was working perfect when i had wm6, but i recently changed to a wm5 rom (WAAAAY BETTER)... does anyone have this running on wm5? when i start the new app it just opens, brings up a screen with a bunch of connection specs and such, then starts to connect and closes...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AL_CAPONE_X3:
thank you so much for this post. i had found the link to this thread somewhere else and am happy i found it. its an great application. i love it. and i got i 2 work and im glad i did.

but i have a few questions about it. . .

i was just wondering do you know how i can make my wireless connection like password protected so only me or who ever else i want to be able to access my internet from my phone can. because i dont want it where like everyone in my neighborhood can access it you know? just only the

computers i want.

also one more question. is this going charge me an arm an a leg. can sprint detect that im using my internet thats meant to be for my phone now on my computer? im not planning to like download anything really at all. just use my phone as my internet source for my computer when i go out town where i will have no wifi or internet access besides from my phone. ill probably be using the internet to check mail. surf the web. be on myspace. writing people back and forth through messages and comments. visit the forums. look up game codes. and possibly i hope watch movies off the internet. (NOT DOWNLOAD THEM) just go to the site and click play and the movie starts right up kinda like with the youtube website you click play it buffers than plays. im asking all of this because i just read that if you use your internet from your phone on your computer through usb that sprint can detect it if you dont have like an certain program like pdanet or some other type of program similar. n thse also cost money. only trial versions. so i was just wondering if the same was here with this WiFi hack or no its not detectable by sprint and i wont have a supriseingly really high bill at the end up the month. i would really like to know before i start to use it alot more than i have already started 2. so i really hope i can get my ?z answered and thank you in advance for hopefully the answers to my questions.

Fantastic programme

I know people have managed to connect up an ipod touch but I cannot do this

The touch sees the network but "safari can't open the page because it can't find the server"

is this a DNS issue?

Please can someone put me out of my misery and tell me what ip sddresses to put in the settings screen on the touch?

ie

ip address?

subnet mask

router

dns?

please!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maiux:
Fine.

It would be greater if it will redial/reconnect upon remote network disconnect.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] odyseus:
I'm not having much luck on my Kaiser !??

I've set up the add hoc network ans specfified the IP address for the network card, BUT in the configure Wireless Networks section - it just says Available , connecting but it never actually connects???

Any chance some Kaiser user can give me a rund down on what they did to get the Wi-Fi sharing working??

(I'm hoping to be able to connect my Archos 605 to the internet via the Kaiser)

Cheers

Anyone else getting this?

Running a Sprint Mogul - PPC-6800 - HTC TITAN

Sampsons WM5 Rom

Anyone else get this screen when running the WifiShare app?

The app opens, This screen Appears and then it and internetsharing both close.... any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
OK. my issue was that i had hard reset my device just to clean it out and when i loaded up everything, i FORGOT...FORGOT to setup the wifi connection AND delete the key needed to keep the 67 error from popping up.. so i missed that step which is why i had the issues. this app is solid and im back up and running.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 3d Nirvana:
wow! this is a great application! I got it to work flawlessly! Its much better than the hacks for usb modem etc. I dont have to deal with activesync or adding a modem on my laptop or anything like that.... just turn on wifi, and connect to the network! its simple! I also love that i can use it with any computer without having to configure anything or install anything.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tbobaggins:
I finally got it working with my laptop..but it seems that when i turn the screen off on my mogul it disconnects it? Kinda a bummer because id like to lock the mogul and put it in my pocket..Now the true question is whether or not this will show up on my bill because i have yet to find that answer....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
do you have your mogul set to shut off when you turn off the screen? does it automatically shut off on its own? whats your power settings set to?

if you are using your phone as the connection to the internet then yes you are using sprints data network and you are being charged unless you have an unlimited plan.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tbobaggins:
Its only set to turn off the screen when i hit the button i believe. And currently i'm on the sprint ultimate vision pack 25$ a month..Is this being recognized by sprint as using hte phone as a modem or just as data access? Rather..am I being charged or no?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
well if you use this program all day then sprint would probably catch on but if you use it sparingly they wont even care. you wont be charged anymore data unless you go over your monthly allotment. if you have unlimited data then your fine, if you have some sort of capped plan then as long as you dont go over your data limit/month then your fine. nothing extra will be charged to you..

Port question for Mogul 6800

First of all...i have read this entire thread...solid work. I appreciate you all getting this together for everyone.

My question...I have connected through a Bit Torrent client, which port should I open for the Mogul 6800 to maximize my connection speed? Let me know if I am making sense.

By the way, I performed a test on my speed using your app...no complaints here...:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CrashX:
I tried WMWifiRouter on my AT&T Tilt but the device just hangs when I launch it. I just started to read the 20+ pages in this thread so I don't know if anyone else has experienced this yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Machina2o2:
When exactly does it hang? during the launch or while the program is starting up and its running down the checklist?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
Doesn't hang on my ATT Tilt... so it should work. I just get slow data speeds. Could be something else though, not sure.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sfld:
Ok, i want to understand something before i try using this app.

I do these settings first

Setting up an Ad Hoc WiFi connection on your mobile device

Make sure your WiFi radio is on.

Go to Start->Settings->"Connections" tab.

Select "Wi-Fi" applet.

On the "Wireless" tab, select "Add New...".

Pic

Type any network name you would like for your Ad Hoc network (eg. WMobileAdHoc)

Make sure the "This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection" option is checked.

Pic

Select the "Next" button.

On the "Configure Network Authentication" screen, select "Open" for the Authentication type, and "Disabled" for Data Encryption. For the purposes of testing, lets verify the connection works without encryption, if it does, you can modify your Ad Hoc connection properties later to enable the encryption mode of your choice.

Pic

Select the "Next" button.

Select "Finish" on the final screen.

Configuring a static IP address on your WiFi device

Go to Start->Settings->"Connections" tab.

Select the "Wi-Fi" applet.

On the "Network Adapters" tab, select your WiFi device (for the HTC Mogul this is the item listed as "IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter").

Pic

On the "IP Address" tab, select the "Use specific IP address" radio button. For the IP address enter the value "192.168.0.9" with a Subnet mask of "255.255.255.0".

OK the dialog.

Then i run the wifiprogram on the mobile device.... then what do i do on the computer? is there anything else to do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kc135jtemech:
To TalynOne and Chainfire....... This is one of the best reutilization of resources I have yet to see on this forum.... This makes the tilt worth every penny paid for it. Lets see the iphone do this one... NOT!!!! I am getting speeds close to 2mbs down on laptop. Now that is WOW!! Anyone tried multiple devices connecting yet? Going to see how the xbox works over it. Sure it will be laggy but can you play xbox @ work... now I can!! I know these are just words but will hit paypal as soon as I can. Thanks for the good work and ingenuity.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Machina2o2:
I dont get how any of you are getting this to work. I got myself and 2 other friends who all own moguls to read over the instructions carefully. We did the registry edits since were all SERO mogul owners. Running the app does all its fancy magic up until we create an Ad-Hoc network where our phones are all perpetually in a state of "Connecting" but never connects. Since I dont know anyone else who owns a WM5/6 Device with Wifi we cant test outside the Moguls. I noticed a few other users with Kaisers and comparable devices with the same exact issue gone unanswered. If we close the Wifiapp then the mogul connects to our phantom ad-hoc network but not when the app is active. Were all doing this with our Moguls + PC whether its Vista or XP.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Just tested it (0.6, no settings at all, just deploying and running the EXE) between my Universal and N95; works flawlessly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superchinq:
hey im getting a similar error with the sampson rom wm5 rom. But before closing I get a little notifcation at the upper right hand corner saying Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To change your connection settings, Tap Settings blah blah
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hamstarz:
it seems to me like you're missing a step, or doing things out of order. i use a mogul and it works flawlessly. by what you're describing above, you're running the app and then trying to create an ad hoc network, which isn't what you're supposed to do.

the correct steps are:

1. set up the ad hoc network. once you set this up once, you don't have to set it up ever again. you only go through this step once.

2. turn on the wifi switch

3. run wmwifirouter

that's it. and in the future, all you have to do is turn on the wifi switch and run wmwifirouter, and as long as your wifi settings is set to search for only "computer-to-computer" networks it should find your ad hoc network automatically.

the only way i can imagine that this doesnt work for you is if you somehow mess up the step of setting up an ad hoc network.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] saecrow:
this setup rocks! after getting this to work on my sprint apache w/ my dell axim x50 and my laptop (at the same time) I just purchased the ipod touch, so now I have the cool features of the ipod touch (and data connectivity wherever I have sprint coverage) without having to "downgrade" to the iphone or adding a 2 yr contract! I have since locked down the adhoc connection with WEP to keep out the busy-bodies and it still works flawlessly. This forum, the apache and the ipod touch is one kick @ss combination! u guys rock. . . keep up the good fight!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Machina2o2:
We've tried that way as well still constantly in the state of "Connecting" At one point my notebook sees the network but when it connects the Mogul disconnects ICS. I can reproduce the results on all 3 moguls and 3 seperate devices.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] falconetti:
I'm in the UK. Can I buy ANY 3G mobile phone with WM5 or 6 and wifi to use with my ipod touch? e.g.:

Do i need to set a static ip for the wireless on my mogul if im using sprint?

and if so which one should i use.... the .9 or the .1?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KanosWRX:
I got it to work just fine, I did follow these instructions posted by someone else here. I got it to work by just running the exe but it was hit or miss. Once I did this it has worked every time.

Installed, well that is not really the term, added my ADHOC the started the program. WOW!!

I really needed something like this too. I work inside plants and need the internet to VPN into our work servers in another state. This is one neat program. I will be sharing this with others!

can you confirm that you did change your wifi set to computer to computer network and NOT infrasrtucture mode? make sure you double check that, easy step to miss
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
Okay, I just have to ask... Why does my mogul die when using this program even when plugged into the wall?? Its almost as if the AC adaptor cannot supply power to the device faster its being consumed... I disable Bluetooth... dim the screen to the minimum... yet after using the connection for a few hours the device powers down with a completely depleted battery. Am I the ONLY person having this issue??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Machina2o2:
Yep first thing I checked and still having the issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
For those that are having connection issues:

Please keep your WiFi adapter TCP/IP settings on your mobile device to the defaults, e.g., "use server assigned IP address" and nothing in the nameserver boxes. Do not set them to static, this should not be necessary.

As for the power usage, yes, it drains a lot of power, but at least my TyTNII seems to charge faster than it uses. I'm still working on conserving power, but I'm running into some issues. As soon as I solve this, there will be an update.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marctronixx:
any of you guys/gals who have a sprint mogul, have you upgraded to the 2.17 ROM just released a day or so ago and tried this app with it? i value this program over that new ROM (my phone works just fine as is)....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] benoldcrap:
Machina2o2, it sounds like we may be having similar issues.

When I would run the app, as soon as my network connection would establish, my internet connection would get disconnected for some reason...saying, "the remote party has ended this connection."

All I had to do though, was go back to the ics program screen and hit connect again. It would work fine after that without disconnecting again.

The only problem I'm having now is that the internet is not shared on my mogul like it would be normally. Ideally, I'd like to be able to watch SprintTV while sharing an internet connection to my computer :). I'm not sure if that's supposed to be able to work like that or not tho.

WMWifiRouter v0.7 - More Powerrrrr!

Here is another version of WMWifiRouter. Installation/upgrade is the same as before.

Changes:

- Added a power tweak

- Made start sharing on start configurable (handy for troubleshooting)

- Made quit when ICS quits configurable (handy for troubleshooting)

- Added option to reconnect data connection when it drops

The power tweak:

This replaces the old screen toggle. This should tell your device to not turn WiFi off when it goes into standby mode. On my Kaiser (TyTN II) this allows me to put the device into standby mode using the power button while the connection keeps being shared. Obviously this consumes a lot less power. I do not know if this will work on all devices, or even if it will work on WM5 (I use WM6). Please let me know. Also note that while it usually works for me, it doesn't _always_ work, so try a few times. Wait for the connections to be established before putting the device into standby.

Have fun!
