Myeah but you are using it by connecting your mobile device to your real wifi router, using infrastructure mode, and providing internet to your other device like that. The point is these things are not supported in ad-hoc mode (that is due to the operating system, though)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hunterdg:
what a bunch of crap. i feel like an idiot for not noticing the obvious difference.. i'd just never set up any sort of encryption on my ad-hoc, never really cared, and so i never ran into the problem. just assumed that what applied to infrastructure was applicable to Ad-Hoc..

assuming...

carry on
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IceCreaMan:
it works on the tilt, i use it quite often. you just gotta follow the install directions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RemE:
It worked really well on my Kaiser, but it blew away my home network settings, and generally mucked things up. After 4 months of flawless use of all features of the phone, never needed anything but an occasional soft reset. After this last test, the QuickGPS was also blown as well, all settings gone, wouldn't connect to HTC. I used KaiserTweak to restore QuickGPS defaults and really don't know why it corrupted, but WiFiRouter did more strange things than any app I've played with so far... I've got everything stable and then pulled WFR for now.

WMWifiRouter freezes-Kaiser

Hello all,

First of all, a big thanks to Crossfire for this!

Finished reading the forum! Found lots of posts, tried everything, still doesn't work.

HTC Kaiser

Dutty's ROM-WM6

ICS works by USB

Wifi on when installing WMwifi (also tried off, etc)

Network Adaptor connects to Work

Wifi connection set to Ad-hoc

Tried various settings and steps:

Turn on 3G, turn on wifi, start WMwifi - freezes

Turn on wifi, start WMwifi - freezes

etc

Help!

Thanks, Jeff

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Exactly where and when does it freeze?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjmorris100:
Ater Rebinding

Sorry, forgot to post. WMwifi opens with no problems, I can change config.

When I click connect, I can't read it, it flashes fast. I do see

"rebinding ...." then

Not connected

Starting ICS

I've tried it with ICS still running and not. Then the phone freezes and I have to soft reset.

Thanks for the help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BlitzK:
I love WMwifiRouter, but I've had this happen to me a few times on my Mogul.

I can replicate it by starting WMwifi and NOT turning the wifi-switch on, and then turning it on while loading. I've also had it happen just at random now too.

When it "breaks" my wifi the only thing I can do is do a hard reset of my device to get it back.

It doesn't happen a lot, but it's obviously a PITA when it does!

Did you get your wifi working again on your tilt?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spambaggs:
Hmm. Its a gmail address, so I wouldn't know why. Is there a registry change you can simply describe for the fix?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Poke_N_PDA:
Sorry if this has been discussed (search didn't turnup much and I'm not reading through 73 pages), but what do you guys think about the old freeware version (.91) is that all you need or is it best to just just pay for the full version? I couldn't even find a price on the site. Thanks for any help you can provide.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BlitzK:
The "full pay version" isn't out yet.

I heard some say that the .88 version was "the best"... Not sure why though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] muyoso:
Does anyone have a fix to make WMwifirouter not EFF your wireless settings after you install it? Whenever I run WMwifirouter, and then close it down, I can NEVER connect to my home network again. It does something to completely FUBAR the settings. The only thing I can do is re-input all of my settings for my home network and hope it connects. Soft reset doesnt fix anything, nor does turning off wifi and then turning it back on, nor does uninstalling WMwifirouter alltogether.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fuzzywuzzyg37:
uninstall wmwifirouter and now my wifi doesn't work at all. I'm connected to my own network but i can't surf the net or do anything else. Help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
If your wifi is screwed up, you uninstalled WMWifiRouter and are on one of these devices:

TNETW12511 WIFI:

-HTC Titan / Sprint Mogul / Verizon XV6800 / P4000

-HTC TyTN II / Kaiser / AT&T Tilt / 8925 / P4550

-Elf / HTC Touch

-HTC Vox

Get the attached CAB file.

- Soft-reset device

- Install CAB

- Soft-reset device

It should reset all your Wifi and ICS settings to 'factory default'. You may still have to fiddle with the wifi network filter (switch from 'access point only' to 'computer to computer (adhoc) only' and back, switch TCP/IP settings for wifi card to static and back to DHCP) but it should work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
This should be fixed in the new version.

You can find v0.97 RC3 here:

http://www.jongma.org/tmp/wmwr.cab

That is a test version, though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
You just need to use the crash cleanup option...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rajah1:
What perplexes me is why we might wish to use WMWR when ICS USB seems considerably faster? Pinging an arbitrary remote IP address, I get consistent WMWR latencies in the range of 320-450ms with one or two lost packets every 15-25 packets, sometimes more frequently, and an occasional very long latency (over 1 second). With USB, latencies are around 150ms, rock solid, losing few or no packets. So unless portability (phones are pretty portable themselves!) and/or multiple client computers are factors, what's the advantage? Moreover, there is real security on a wired USB connection versus wireless Ad Hoc...

Another question:

On my AT&T Tilt, I can connect to my laptop via ICS BT, and the laptop can see the phone with TCP/IP, but the laptop can't reach the Internet. The laptop doesn't report any available BT services on the phone, and the phone doesn't report any services on the laptop. Is there a Wiki that explains this? Anybody know what I'm doing wrong, or the secret?

Lastly, on the issue of detecting tethering:

ICS is certainly given the MAC address of the tethered client -- it's inherent in connection sharing that the host immediately above a client receives the MAC address of the client. Now, usually that MAC address is discarded by the host (here, the phone) when it, in turn, communicates with it's own host (the provider) -- normally the phone would just report it's own MAC address to the provider. But ICS could certainly be written to pass along client MACs, if any, as well. If WM6.0 ICS doesn't do that (and I assume it doesn't), then it stands to reason that one should stick with the v6.0 version of ICS. My question is, can a provider push a new version of ICS at client phones without the user knowing or pro-acting? Would the WM security paradigm permit that? Satellite TV providers do it all the time, to their Linux-based receivers...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigdog5142:
I'm having the same issue with this program and the "carrier resetting the connection" as WMWifiRouter attempts to connect. I am roaming right now. I will try it on my home network when I get home. I've had a few issues with the error: 67, but they seem to resolve themselves on a soft reset. I am on the Sprint Network and I am running a Sprint Mogul 6800 with the newest ROM installed. WM 6.0 and WMWifiRouter 0.97. Thanks for your help in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] !Kernel Panic!:
what changes are in .97?

there is no update info on the website....

great program I use to jack in my Laptop but when will we be able to have the option of having the phone broadcast wireless B also?....I'd consider buying if I could get my PSP or DS to see my phone as an access point.

Verizon XV6800 Not connecting...

Ok... I downloaded and installed ICS as my phone did not have it initially. I followed all the steps outlined in this forum. When I run WMWifiRouter it stops at "Not Connected, Waiting for Connection"... I also get a pop-up window up top that says "Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To change your connection settings, tap Settings"... I noticed someone else mentioned this error in January on this thread but I have not found a solution other than someone mentioning that the only person who got it working on this phone had a custom ROM. I thought this phone was on the compatibility list? Any thoughts?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angelfirex:
Hi to all!

Ok I'v tried tried and tried again but just cant get it to work...

I have a HP rw6815 phone with WM5 and a GPRS internet connection, I'v installed ICS (2 different versions found in this topic), I installed wmwifirouter v0.97 RC3 found here.

I'v created hoc connection on notebook (hp tx1000 with vista).

The phone connects to internet and works fine, the tx1000 connects with wifi connection to the rw6815 but will not go on internet.

wmwifirouter starts then I get "timeout waiting for ICS", I'v also tried installing TNETW1251-WIFI-ICS-Fix.CAB because the problem seems the same but still get the same error....

Can you help me?

connection to home network router, is this possible..??

i have a tytn, and i cannot seem to make it connect to my home router, which is then wired to my home computer..

has anyone had any luck with this kind of setup?

regards

Tim
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] n7ekg:
That's an easy one! :)

1. Ability to connect more than one laptop/desktop to the internet at the same time.

2. Support for desktops/laptops that don't run Windows and don't easily support a lot of USB devices. Linux and the BSD distros come to mind. This is my personal situation - I've got a laptop that runs FreeBSD, and while I could load the NDIS stuff and rebuild my kernel and all that, why bother when there's a better and more generic solution?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] n7ekg:
Nope. If you don't have good cell service then no software's going to help you. I'd suggest taking a look at satellite - WildBlue comes to mind, their service is fairly affordable, and if you can deal with the latency, the speed isn't bad - a lot better than dialup!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] n7ekg:
I've got an HTC Mogul (Well, Alltel calls it a PPC6800), it's running WM 6.0, I've installed WMWR and run it, made sure DHCP is enabled, but none of the computers I've tried it with are able to lease an IP address. they connect (well, the G cards do, the B cards won't - can this be fixed in WMWR or is this a limitation of the WiFi in the phone?), but timeout trying to lease an IP address.

Can I back down to a previous version of WMWR that will work? Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] n7ekg:
Err, why would you want to use WMWR to connect to your home router? I'm confused...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sphinx88:
WifiRouter seems to cause issues when I go to home and reconnect to my home Wifi. It puts a Wifi Profile in that over rides all of the others... if you delete it, you can connect file..

Go to Setings - Connections - Wifi

Delete thw WMWifiRouer profile.

Or Even better, if your PDA has an external antenna option, purchase an external antenna and attach it to your phone. This should improve your reception/transmission.

WMWifi router v0.97 showing fatal error

Hi I have an XV6800 from Verizonwireless and i have the unlimited data plan

I downloaded the WMWifi router and installed it on my device

following all steps explained via youtube, once i got to the final step

which was turning on my wifi switch and then tapping connect

nothing happended it didnt even attemp to connect. All it showed was a fatal error message for some reason.:eek: Any thoughts or ideas why this may be.

So i deleted the program from my phone, did a soft reset and re-installed the program and still got the same results.:eek:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] getoden:
i have the same problem :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] !Kernel Panic!:
unfortunately this program only allows you to broadcast in 'G' only...not a bad thing but I would also like the option for the program to broadcast in 'B' mode allowing me to jack in my PSP/DS as well....that would be shhhweet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
You can get around this by doing the following:

- Make sure WMWifiRouter is NOT running

- Make sure Wifi is OFF (might have to be ON for devices with hardware wifi switch, but I recommend OFF for all others)

- Go to Settings - Connections - Wifi

- There is a select box on this screen somewhere with the text "Networks to connect to" above it. Set this box to "Access points only"

(next steps are not necessary but seem to make it more definite)

- Turn wifi ON

- Connect to your home router

- Turn wifi OFF

If you have done this, WMWifiRouter itself will still use the ad-hoc network (if you have the 'force ad-hoc' option turned on), but if you quit WMWifiRouter that network will no longer interfere and your device will connect to access points only.

In a future version this will be set automatically for you.

I gather you want to use WMWifiRouter to provide internet to your home wireless router, which in turn provides internet to your computer?

Yes this is possible, but exactly how depends on your router. A few beta testers have it running in this setup, this is how they did it:

- Make the wifi network on your phone with the settings to connect to your access point

- If you have made a WMWifiRouter network, remove it

- Make sure the 'force ad-hoc' option in WMWifiRouter is turned OFF

- Turn off DHCP on your router (how to do this depends on the router)

- Run WMWifiRouter and connect. It should now connect to your home router.

- On your computers connected to your home router through either wireless or wires, renew the IP address ( start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig /renew )

- If all went will, you should not receive internet from your device through your home router

This is a bit tricky to set up, but as stated above several people are using it like this.

Yes, that is a test version of 0.97. The 0.97 trial available on the site is a newer version.

Which fatal error did it show? Internet connection sharing not found? This means you are missing a Windows Mobile component that is necessary for WMWifiRouter to operate. You need to install ICSInstall.cab (search for it), that may fix the problem.

Unfortunately a limitation in the driver system prevent us from making this happen. I'm NOT saying it is not technically possible, but the way to do this is complicated and we haven't managed to do it yet. Even if we get this to work, it will probably be on a device-by-device bases. (ie, we might fix it for the Kaisers first, but that probably wont work on any other device). We're always working on this, but it seems still a while off to getting this to work.

By the way, there does seem to be a way to connect the PSP, but it's really complicated and we haven't tried this out ourselves yet - as our PSP has gone missing. DS and Wii really seems impossible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TraderStav:
I just received a brand new Mogul and flashed the latest No2Chem nueROM and only installed the WMWifiRouter .91. My windows XP laptop connects just fine and sometimes for several hours have a good connection. Then randomly the Mogul freezes and I have to do a soft reset.

Is this an issue with the Rom? Should I try another one? This phone is only going to be used as a broadband connection so the simplest, cleanest and most stable rom is what I need.

What else could be causing this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gameross:
I would start by re-installing your original ROM.and see if the problem persists. If you have Sprint, they just released a new ROM for the 6800 a couple weeks ago with EVDO Rev A and GPS enabled.

Those other ROMs are often kludged together from parts unknown.

Re: WMWifi router

Ok so I took your advice and looked up IC's install cab file

and installed it to my XV6800 through verizonwireless. Then I

uninstalled WMWifi router cab file and then re-installed it just to be safe

followed the simple instructions and:D it really works. I will be testing it out every day and i will post what I find if you like. Thank you for all your help

I'll tell you what I've noticed so far. While connected I can receive and make calls and it will temporarily disconnect but soon as I hang up it connects right back and i can continue surfing just as if I was tethered thats great. I can text and surf @ the same time and it wont disconnect as well as watch video

stored on my phone.

If he wants to sell it he can.

Its his original work.

He compensates the beta testers/contributors with free upgrades, so everybody whining is just a freeloader.

But this thread should be moved to some zone for commercial products, free advertising only for free software!

Also a rule should be introduced that every beta on this forum has to be under GPL!

The way the coreplayer/tcpmp guys handled the switch from freeware to commercial product was cool, the way Chainfire handles it is outright LAME.
