Hi, I am currently using the version 1.20 of WMWifiRouter.

My goal is to share internet between my PC and my laptop.

My PC is the one with the main internet connection.

There are several problems though, I've tried tweaking IP address, DHCP, DNS for almost 5 hours but none of them works. Sorry, I am a new newbie.

My PC: Windows Vista Ultimate

My Laptop: Windows XP Professional.

My Phone: Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, R2A ROM.

Problem Analysis:

a)Whenever I try to connect USB to Wifi, a message with the title Pocket PC Networking will come up.

The message is: Cannot obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Netowork settings.

b)When I go to my Network and Sharing Center in my Windows Vista PC, there will be 2 connections.

1. Local Area Connection - The default connection I use to connect to the internet.

2. Local Area Connection 4 - The connection that is from my phone.

Local Area Connection is connected to Local and Internet but Local Area Connection 4 is only connected to Local.

c) After I have connected USB to Wifi in my phone's WMWifiRouter, the USB status is just connected. According to the FAQ in WMWifiRouter's website, there should be an extra word like '**** Internet' Connected.

d) I am able to view and connect to my phone's connection using my laptop. Everything seems normal, I select my phone, enter my WEP key, wait for it to acquire network address, then it is connected. However, I am unable to browse any websites, the error 'Address Not Found' comes up in Mozilla Firefox.

Extra notes:

1) I have ICS intalled, got it from the 2nd post of this thread.

2) Initially I have configured a static IP address of 192.168.1.110 my PC. After trial and errors, I set it back to 'find IP address automatically' and 'find DNS automatically'. Neither worked.

I hope anybody here is able to help me. Your help would be very very greatly appreciated!!!

UpGrade ideas

I really really like this app a lot!! It help solve so many connection issues and gives GREAT flexability and THE BEST interface with great info over any other similar app.

Two sugestions only, that imho would make this app the GREATEST:cool: would have to be:

1- have WiFIRouter auto detect and offer/accept ANY connection in ANY IP range just like regular routers do as well as another app like this one does.

2- also have WiFIRouter auto switch on the WiFI radio in the PPC/SmartPhones automaticaly on startup, and OFF again on shut down.

Besides Device compatibility issues, after these add ons, WiFIRouter would be the most ultamate awesome app out there forever and a day for everyone! What this solves is the ONLY two main problems I have ever had with this app, and what I have seen other strugle with throughout the forums.

1- the IP connection issue, and having to setup and resetup everytime for one or different devices all the time. Tough and a bit of an unneccassary pain for the less techy people who want to use and buy this app. Not everyone knows how to pull up the command promt windo, nevermind the ipconfig;). Also with this setup I find it next to impossible for people with an iTouch to be able to connect with WiFi, as in there settings options, there is no provision to show what IP range it is set at (an Apple blunder I guess), so no easy way to get them connected even though they may see it. Sugestion 1 above solves this and all the rest nicely and is already implemented in a similar app WalkingHotSpot, which I had to buy after yours to help me solve this problem. ANd there is never a need to mess with IP's for connection purposes. BTW- WiFiRouter's interface look, feel, and data transfer info, are LEAPS & bounds better than this other app. As well as you have provided MANY other connection types and profiles which make this a FAR supperior app:cool:!

2- As with #1 I know there is a way to have the WiFI auto turn on and shut off, which WalkingHotSpot has implmented as well. I found that with this method there is no problem or issues with having the WiFi radio turn on & stay on as you need it for WiFiRouter to operate. This is the last thing I found as bothersome in the setup from time to time as I would turn on my GPRS & WiFi, then WiFiRouter, go through all the steps, and just to find I can't connect, and I finaly figured out that sometimes the WiFi auto shuts it's self off durring the startup with WiFiRouter:confused:! This doesn't happen with the other app as it is all auto setting ofr the WiFi radio.

I DON'T want this to come accross as though I do not like this product, I think IT'S the BEST! Just these two features would actually solve most of any problems Joe puplic would have in day to day use of this app! I just needed to say these thing to point you where to look maybe, as well as seeing the changes bring THIS app to the highest best level it could be!!

Thanks

I'm using 1.25

I have ICS installed

I do not use VPN software, my connection does not require proxies

Please someone help me...

Let me restate my problem:

I'm using WMWifirouter 1.25 on my HTC Diamond. Everything goes fine, I set up a 3g to wifi connection. My laptop sees the phone as an access point, both from windows or linux. I try to connect, and it justs hangs like that forever, trying to connect, until I click cancel. Once again, from both windows and linux. Both with WEP enabled or disabled.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Which WMWifiRouter version, device, and ROM are you using? Seems you are asking for things WMWifiRouter has done out-of-the-box before anyone even heard of those WHS copycats.

1) Not quite sure what you mean here, WMWifiRouter employs DHCP and devices that connect to it should automatically get an IP address in the range configured in WMWifiRouter (192.168.3.x by default). If the "client" device is set to assign an IP automatically there's nothing else that needs doing, normally. No need to muck with IP configuration manually, aside from troubleshooting purposes.

2) WMWifiRouter will turn wifi/bluetooth/etc on whenever it needs them to be on and will turn them off when it no longer needs it by default. The exception being on the Titan/Mogul and a few Asian devices that have a hardware wifi switch. In this case WMWifiRouter defaults to having you do this manually, as doing it through code on these devices can cause massive failures in the wifi subsystem of Windows Mobile (and you will usually have to hard-reset if it happens). You can override this in the configuration, though (not advised). If you do, the chances of something bad happening any time you use it are small, but eventually they will happen.

---

There's something weird with your setup causing these issues, as what you speak of is definitely not how it normally works. WMWifiRouter has hundreds of thousands of users and issues like these have not been reported since the 0.8 era over a year ago (though from your description it seems you are running 1.20 or newer).

I'd advise to do the following things, to completely reset WMWifiRouter:

- Install the very latest WMWifiRouter version (1.25 is latest public, you can PM me for a link to the latest 1.30 build)

- After installation, go into WMWifiRouter and go to Options -> Tools -> Reset all settings.

- Exit WMWifiRouter.

- Soft reset your device

- Make sure all your device settings are exactly how you want them. Power management stuff, network card IP settings (wifi should be dynamic), etc

- Go to (\Storage Card)\Program Files\WMWifiRouter120, and find the registry(.backup) file. Rename it to registry_old or something.

- Start WMWifiRouter... You will have to go through all the configuration again and enter your license code if you have one.

If any weird things still occur, email support @ wmwifirouter . com, and send them the support.txt file created in the installation folder by the Options -> Tools -> Save support info (1.30 and newer) function.

Note again that unless you are using a Titan/Mogul there's no need to turn wifi on/off manually, and as long as your clients are set to dynamically get an IP address there should be no need to change any IP settings manually (ever).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Whether or not you connection requires a proxy doesnt mean one isn't configured. ActiveSync/Exchange have a nasty habit of sometimes just creating a proxy entry. Please try this:

Also try changing your power settings:

Furthermore:

If that still doesn't work, PM me for a link to the current version of 1.30, and if that doesn't "just work", use the Options -> Tools -> Save support info function and send the resulting support.txt file to support @ wmwifirouter.com.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Interesting, you are doing this completely different than how I always do it (or the WMWifiRouter docs state you should). Going to look into this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Please start with upgrading to either 1.25 or 1.30 (PM). There is a bug in 1.20 that often prevents USB<=>Wifi operation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caius112:
Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately, it did not work. PM sent though ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lhuhb:
Many thanks.

Where can i download original version?

v1.30 released

v1.30 is now finally available for download from the WMWifiRouter website. Especially those with Omnia's should really upgrade!

How can I get a new trial key to see if 1.30 works for me. 1.25 did not work on my HTC Touch pro.

Chainfire, just to add to this, I use WMWifiRouter in my vehicle and had only been using Google Earth with Goops lately while getting the 30 degrees. I was using it with my Slingbox yesterday watching the NCAA tourney while waiting on my mom at the doctor's. Since it streams a lot more data with the Slingbox, the temperature got up to about 39 degrees after about 20 mins and stayed there.

This is still much better than with my old rom which would get as high as 45 degrees. This is still on version 1.20 and using 3G to USB and charging through laptop. I have downloaded 1.30 but haven't tried it yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Apota:
Infrastructure..

I can get it to work fine in AdHoc mode with WEP security, but one of my devices doesn't support AdHoc. Is there a way I can use it in Infrastructure mode with WEP security? I can't find any information on how to set it up like this. Thank you for your help and time!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blarneystone:
I just downloaded 1.30. It seems a lot more stable. But I still can't seem to get it to work the way I need it to.

I have a Bluetooth tethered connection from my Dell Axim x51v to my MotoQ cellphone. I can surf internet on the Dell fine.

Using wmwifirouter, everything seems to build just fine. ICS is installed, it creates the ad hoc network - and workstations can see the adhoc network and even connect!

But no ip address is ever sent through DHCP. If I set a static ip, it still won't let a laptop get to the Internet.

Any advice?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Has been handled by support

We're still looking into this, thanks for the update!

There is currently no way to use WMWifiRouter as an infrastructure network without a true wireless router being available as well. For that, see this article:

http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0806019/

I'm a bit confused here, are you using wifi or bluetooth for this? How did you get your MotoQ to connect to the Axim via bluetooth anyways? (DUN?)

Which WM version is running on your Axim?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blarneystone:
Yes! I am running DUN for bluetooth to the Motoq (PDAnet application). And on the Axim I have Lenny's 6.1 ROM.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Puinsai:
I would like to do this too, same issue on my Fuze.

Is there a way to activate the trial for 1.30 even though I used a 1.25 trial? 1.25 didnt work for me so I technically didnt use it.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Puisnai

I just installed WMWifiRouter 1.30 on my Verizon Omnia i910 and for some reason my WiFi no longer works after it installed some kind of driver. The program works fine and I can connect other computers using Verizon's network but the phone now is incapable of connecting to my home or work network... I can see the WiFi settings and it says im connected to the home or work router but when I try to surf the web or do anything internet related on the phone... nothing. I even tried to install the new 1.35 update recently releases but still no good. I read about some "crash cleanup" but I cant seem to find it on my version

Hello,

I have bought a 2 year old HTC-Hermes/TyTn on ebay.

Because the battery is also 2 year old I bought a new battery for the TyTn too.

Because I want to use the TyTn as modem for an notebook which doesn't have bluetooth I discovered the Tool WMWifiRouter which allows to share the UMTS/GPRS-Connection via WLAN.

But I am very disappointed with WMWifiRouter. When I start WMWifiRouter and use it the fully charged battery is emtpy in 20-30 minutes. Is this normal?????

And when I use the charger I have the problem that the TyTn gets very hot (I think the battery) and the device is going off. Is this also normal????

What can I do? Are there other tools like WMWifiRouter for WindowsMobile which don't use so much energy?

What about WalkingHotSpot? Is this an alternative for me?

Because whether WMWifiRouter nor WalkingHotSpot is a free software, are there freeware-Tools which do the same?

Regards

Martin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
To get your trial extended write to support... support @ wmwifirouter . com .

The driver comes directly from Samsung HQ and is needed to fix some issues. Its weird on the i910 though, only works half the time. Seems to work for the GSM variants of the Omnia though.

Some things you may try:

Go to start -> settings -> connections -> wi-fi, make sure the box on the bottom is set to "access points only". If it already is, change it to something different, close the screen, open the same screen again and then set it to this. If that doesn't work you can always manually uninstall Samsung's new driver by going to start -> settings -> system -> remove programs. Its listed as "Samsung 3_1_15".

30 minutes of battery is definitely not normal. You should be able to get at least about 3 hours out of WMWifiRouter with the screen turned off (press power button). Something is definitely wrong here. WHS is not a solution for you either, as WHS uses about double the energy WMWifiRouter does. You can try ICSControl (search XDA) but I would assume you would have the same issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uschipower:
ok, I can t already run WHS on my hermes, perhabs too less memory. it doesn t start. but you say WMwifirouter is better?

What are the advantages of WHS? Is there any point where WHS is better than WMwifiRouter?

Is WMwifirouter the tool with the lowest battery-usage?

Any reason the WMWifiRouter site is offline?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackuuuuu:
Sorry just want to be clear. I want to share my 3G connection (my data plan) on my Trinity. So that my Touch HD (my phone with no data plan) can connect and use my Trinity's 3G connection via wi-fi which in this case using WMWifiRouter.

I hope that explains it well lol

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackuuuuu:
Same here!!! My PDA keep on showing "Connecting" with my Wi-Fi...

Is that your problem too???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] charleskincade:
HI, my problem is that I used to have version 1.25 on my titan/mogul but it recently stopped connecting and it just froze so i removed it from my phone. On ppcgeeks there use to be a cab for this instead of going to the wmwifirouter site itself and the cabs didn't have trials. they just worked. However, I've downloaded the latest 1.35 version and it tells me that the trial key is expired. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times only to have the same thing occur. I downloaded the ics cab and theh ics control but I can't get anything to work for me. Could you please help me out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] charleskincade:
One more thing, is there a way to just buy it off the website without doing the trial because it's worked on my ohone before with previous versions but it always tells me that the trial key has expired.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Please note that the PSP is not compatible with WMWifiRouter, as the PSP is unable to use ad-hoc networks for internet. This is a software issue on the PSP as it is actually quite capable to connect to ad-hoc networks (it is used when playing against other people in the same room).

If you write support @ wmwifirouter.com they can extend your trial period so you can test it properly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
I have version 1.35.

I am pretty sure there is an option on their website to purchase the version outright and skip the trial period.

Well worth the money.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neborkia:
Awesome apps!!

Just a question, i don't know if it has been asked in the past tons of pages!

Today i had to give wifi connection in my office and, at the same time, connect my pc through USB as i'm not equipped with a WiFi card.

I've connect my colleagues pc through wmwifirouter and to connect my pc i've used the internet connaction sharing.

Is it possible to do (if not, it will be possible soon?) this "double connection" in wmwifiwouter or i've to do always this "workaround"?

Thanks!

Samsung i760 to iPod Touch.

Hello, I am trying to share my cellular internet over wifi with my iPod Touch. I am using the trial version 1.35 of WMWifiRouter. My iPod Touch is a 2nd gen with software version 2.2.1. My iPod can see the network but when I click to join it says "Unable to join the network "WMWifiRouter"". After dismissing the error my Ipod requires a reset before it will connect to any wifi. I know my Samsung i760 is sharing because I can connect my laptop and get online. Does anyone have any ideas about this problem connecting my iPod Touch? Thank you in advance. Norm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xcen_xda:
Hello. I am having a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 WM6.1 Device. Recently, I've tried using WMWifiRouter but it doesn't seem to work. My idea is to use my phone as a Wireless Router so that my laptop is able to have internet via WiFi from my ADSL connection which is from my main PC.

When I switch on WMWifi's 'USB to WiFi', my Windows Vista Internet Sharing Center will have 2 networks displayed. (1 is from my main internet connection, 1 more from my phone.)

According to Windows Vista Internet Sharing Center, my phone's network access is 'Local only' as apposed to my normal LAN connection which is 'Local and Internet'.

I've searched for a solution and I came to this link but it still does not work.

I found a rather interesting message whenever I connect the 'USB to WiFi' mode. A pop up box with the tile 'Pocket PC Networking' will say ' cannot obtain a server assigned ip address. try again later or enter an ip address in network settings'.

Can anyone share with me the proper IP address for WMWifiRouter on my PC and on my WM device?

Anyway, just to describe the problem I'm facing when I'm using WMWifiRouter.

1. I connect 'USB to WiFi', everything seems to work fine, the status is ready.

2. I can see my own network name on my laptop.

3. I click on it, and the message shows connected.

4. Tried to access the internet but it won't work.

So, the main problem now is...

1. There's something wrong with Vista causing any device that wants Internet Sharing to only connect to 'Local'

2. There's something wrong with my IP configuration.

Thank you all very, very much in advance for helping me out.

Trouble w/ HP PDA connecting to WMWifi

Just purchased and installed latest version of WMWifirouter.

I have WMWifirouter running on my Samsung i760 WM6.1, set to No Encryption. I also installed and am running ICS (I'm assuming I still need to do this).

I'm trying to get my HP4700 PDA (WM 6.1) to connect to the router running on the i760. The WMwifi router shows up as available, but will not properly connect. Every time I try this, 1 of 2 things happens.....either the HP just endlessly tries to connect w/ no luck -- OR -- it connects but no routing occurs and thus no data is being transmitted (IE won't load any pages).

I have been able to connect my Windows 7 laptop to WMWifi on my phone, however only if I start the wifi router using non-encrypted (unsecured) connection. If I try using WEP I'm only able to get a Local connection w/ no Internet access (on the laptop).

Anybody have any suggestions? TIA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I'm not entirely understanding how you set it up exactly, however, this double connection is unfortunately unreliable. We have tried to make this happen directly from WMWifiRouter but it simply does not work on 9 out of 10 devices we tried this on. Exactly why it works on some devices and not others is as of yet unclear.

All I can comment on this is try a different firmware. The iPod Touch is really sensitive about it's Wi-Fi it seems. See the reply below for more on Samsung devices.

Unfortunately there are serious issues with Samsung's Wi-Fi drivers, although they do seem to be getting better. The i6xx, i7xx and i9xx series are all affected by this. Some of these devices have serious issues connecting at all, while others merely have trouble connecting with WEP enabled. We are working with Samsung to see how these issues can be resolved, and we have resolved them for most of the GSM Omnia's and a large part of the CDMA Omnia's by way of new Wi-Fi drivers. However, I'm afraid many of the older Samsung devices will never see a fix (if there is a newer official Samsung ROM available than the one you have, I suggest you get it!)

Restarting the connection a couple of times sometimes helps, but it remains tricky to get some of these devices to connect properly - especially if the other device is not a PC with an A-brand Wi-Fi card. The only help we can offer you is trying to reconnect, disabling all Wi-Fi power saving features (search through your settings) and completely disabling encryption.

And BTW, yes you do need to have ICS installed, however we strongly advise against having it running while also running WMWifiRouter.

Again, it is unclear exactly how you are trying connect:

Internet-->ADSL-->Computer-->USB-->WMWifiRouter-->Wi-Fi-->Laptop ?

If the situation is as above, this WMWifiRouter documentation article may be of help:
