Well seems we'll have to figure out what the exact issue is. Can you retry with v0.87? If the problem persists I will release v0.88 with an option to disable the "DHCP Allocator", and we can try with that (if that doesn't work either, it's not DHCP that is the problem - though it seems likely)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thelostsoul:
Ohh...no, if I just run ICS, I have no option under "Network Connections" That's the same before running the patch and after. Also, after the patch, I have the same issue as when I put the wrong dll in there. It says Waiting for connection and my device reports and inability to connect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Interesting! I think I know how to fix that... What language is your ROM ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thelostsoul:
That's good to hear! It's English, WM6 classic.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Hmm well I need somebody else for it who has the right packages. Guess I'll talk to him sometime tomorrow, together we may fix that... hopefully :D

Chainfire,

My ICS was working fine through the USB cable on my PPC-6800, but I went ahead and used your installer and completed the steps posted in the previous thread...

Everything installed fine, and ICS works beautifully through the USB cable.

I had an error with WMWifiRouter that I will make in its own post right after this one.

WMWifiRouter + iPod Touch issue:

I decided to double check and see if it was just my iPod Touch communication to WMWifiRouter and used my laptop to test it out.

The laptop connected just fine to WMWifiRouter v0.87 and I could browse the internet and do other data stuff. I set the laptop aside and left it connected. I turned the iPod Touch 16g on, turned on Wifi on that device and told it to connect to WMWifiRouter (which had appeared in the list of networks to join).

The iPod Touch connected for a split second (displaying brief information of an IP address of 192.168.1.254, DNS and Router settings of 192.168.0.1) then immediately disconnected:

On the PPC-6800, the data connection to Sprint was disconnected, WMWifiRouter attempted to re-initiate the connection and connected fine. I tried to reconnect the iPod Touch with the same results, but this time an error window popped on the PPC-6800 (running WM6) the contents of which can be found at the bottom of this post (typed exactly as appeared in the window). Maybe this can help in some way. Looks like the same issue remofo was talking about with his iPod Touch.

Unfortunately, I need to enter WPA2 key also after soft-reset. In fact, when I try to connect, I first get 'Unable to connect blablabla' dialog box, and then it asks me for a passphrase.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orangegator:
Hey Chainfire. I just sent you a donation for all your great work. I really like this program and use it alot. And I'll add this, this is the first time in years that I've spent money on software. (but I have a lot :D)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Hmm. Probably going to be a while before we figure this one out, though I do have an idea as to why it is (but no idea for a workaround)

xv6800 - no ICS

Still no go with the xv6800 w/o ICS. I followed both posted suggestions to get ICS installed, and the application will _run_, but WMWiFiRouter is unable to bridge the EVDO. This is my guess anyway, since right after I see "Starting ICS" I get a bubble from the Ev icon saying "Cannot connect for an unknown reason...".

Seems the Verizon XV6800 will not be tethered so easily! WMWifiRouter is the last hope! Please let me know if I can help testing in anyway!

Have you tried force closing (task manager) ICS and a reconnect right after you get this message? My P4000 does this and connects on the second attempt in a row.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
First off, thanks to the donators of the past few days :)

WMWifiRouter passed 50 000 downloads today (yay!) and donation are up to a whopping $125 total!

Thank you. To be honest, I didn't know lifehacker was such a big deal. I keep track of mention of my tools though, and the past week has simply been an explosion in being mentioned on blogs, magazine articles, even by Microsoft employees.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thetechguru:
Many thanks for this.

I got it working on Samsung i760 with a little tweaking.

It did not work using the ICSInstall.zip. ICS would not connect. I then downloaded the ICS_non_oem.zip from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1794133&postcount=29

It has manual registry entries rather then an installer. I compared the settings to the settings done from the ICSInstall, and I noticed a few missing items.

I added them, and then tried to use ICS (via USB cable). It started to work, but kept connecting and disconnecting every few seconds.

I recalled that somewhere in this thread it was mentioned that you can't do data on the phone at the same time. I turned off Wireless Sync and the connection stayed up. I was then able to succesfully use WMWiFiRouter and am posting using it now.

The specific missing registry items are:

HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\IpInitializeRouter 00000001 REG_DWORD

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING\3 00000000 REG_DWORD

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING\2 00000001 REG_DWORD

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING\1 IntShrUI.exe REG_SZ

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING\0 MSINTERNET_SHARING REG_SZ

Also, one of these two had the wrong value (can't remember which one now)

HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PublicInterface 1 REG_SZ

HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface 0 REG_SZ

ICS_Non_oem.zip also had registry entries for BlueTooth PAN which were not in my i760 but I skipped those for now.

I must be a complete idiot....

I'd gladly donate if I could get this thing working properly.

I'm running a sprint branded Mogul, stock.

I installed it, and the ICS software, and it worked (I don't even know if I needed the ICS, but I digress) I surfed on my computer and my iTouch - way cool.

Then the nightmare began. my mogul locked and I did a soft reset. Then it wouldn't connect to the internet period. My mogul wouldn't surf (even without your software running). It gave me a provisioning/password error.

OK I called Sprint, and they reset my provisioning there, still no luck. two hours on the phone with tech support. They finally had me do a hard reset. (If i only had all my software to be reinstalled in one place - but again I digress)

So, now with my new, fresly hard reset Mogul, I reinstalled your software (and the ICS stuff).

NOW it loaded just fine, the phone connects (I see the phone as modem dialog box) and I get three green bars (all is well in the world) EXCEPT - while my pc and my iTouch will see it, it won't connect to the internet. The iTouch will connect and drop, the PC will connect, but no more surfing.

I really don't have a clue what to check, what to fix, or where to start.

I really would love to send you some PayPal love. It's a great idea, and I know dozens of people who would gladly pay for such a program, if I could just get it to work.

So, before I spend the several hours re-installing all my old software, finding the passwords, updating the data, I'm going to wait a bit and see if you can make some suggestions on what I'm doing wrong. Please HELP!!!!

Thanks,

Eddie
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orangegator:
Don't Not load ICS on the Mogul! It already has working internet sharing installed with WM6. My Mogul works great with WMWifiRouter 0.89. Sounds like the ICS installer is what's messing things up for you. Sounds like you should do another hard reset and get your phone working again. Then install Just WMWifiRouter 0.89 and NOT ics. GL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sacrilicious:
Thanks to devs/chainfire for monogrammed invite!

Thanks for following up on lifehacker and asking for my input, I haven't been thorough enough to read the posts to this forum regarding my difficulties installing the software, on top of which I haven't been thorough by dusting off the windows machine to use activesync to try an install from the provided zip.

Here's my experience with the MotoQ and Dash:

When I navigate to the jongma download page(over cellular, with WiFi turned on but not connected to any networks), mobile IE can recognize and attempts to let me install the cab once downloaded, asking me where I want to install it. It then fails, saying '"Jorrit Jongma WMWifiRouter" cannot be installed' and asks if I want to try installing to the storage card, which also fails.

Yes, I know it's not known to work on the dash, but

I upgraded my Dash to WM6 not too long ago, and IntShrUI is there and functional(though I haven't tried it on my mac, bluetooth or USB).... so....

thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amo83:
Excellent app! Works perfectly for me (using MDA Vario 3 with default shipped ROM).

How hard would it be to extend the app to allow more than one client to connect to it at once? That'd be amazing and i'd be more than happy to donate to the beer fund if that'd be possible :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dills84:
im not sure? when i get to the backup screen i can see the OK button, but when i press the left softkey nothing happens. it actually still opens things in my start menu?

like if i move my cursor around, and then click the left soft key it'll open another app from the start menu in the background, its like the Wifirouter app just floats in the foreground, and even hitting the cancel button doesnt do anything, i need to soft reset to get it off the screen.

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AstronusX:
I found some issues with My Sprint Mogul after install the .89 v

When I turn on WMWifirouter, it is configure as 192.168.0.1 while the laptop auto detect the gate way as 192.168.1.1. Thus I unable to connec to the phone since the the gate way ip is different. I manually change the phone IP to 192.168.1.1 and it works. For other mogul user out there, have you guys experian same problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregoryx:
Okay, this is REALLY exciting! Thank you, Alan!

Help, if you please: only use the above entries? or use the ones in the readme.txt then add / apply yours after?

Also, can you confirm what you mean by "turned off Wireless Sync"? meaning the Verizon app for OTA sync? or something else? I'm using Exchange, so I suspect I'm not using that.

Last question regarding ActiveSync with USB (I presume you got that working first): did you need to do anything fancy with ActiveSync? or was it just that once you started IntShrUI and hit "connect" via USB it took over ActiveSync and all was well? or was there something you had to do?

Thanks so much!

Tilt probs...

Hey Guys,

I have a Tilt with a slightly modified stock AT&T ROM. All I did to the ROM was change the pagepool & cook in new camera & album & dumped a few bloatware space wasters, but all in all it's a stock ROM & Radio. At one point I had .80 or .81 (Individual .exe) working intemitently. Now since .87 I cannot get past the satrting ICS. It freezes & I have to soft reset. I've tried several of the fixed .exes that have been posted & I have ICS in my ROM, but no matter what I can't get past launching ICS.

I've searched & while I've seen similar problems, I didn't find anybody posting about this problem being fixed through one means or another. Any Tilt owners out there go through this problem & get it working???

THX!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ritterkeks:
wow. amazing.

just stumbled over it on modaco, there found out that it has made huge steps since i first saw a thread here,

downloaded, transferred, installed, executed. no problems on my kaiser. very user friendly.

a bit messy my computer with ubuntu, but got it connected finally.

and it works. very good. and not even slow!

great work, thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thetechguru:
Running the installer from ICSInstall made most of the registry entries. The ones above I got from the read-me in the non_oem version that were missing from my device after running that.

Wireless Sync is the Verizon push email app. I forget how to turn off Exchange sync when connected directly to an exchange server, but you will probably need to do that or the phone will keep breaking your WiFiRouter connection to try and sync email.

Once I started IntShrUI and hit connect, ActiveSync stopped, and the PC recognized an Internet Connection Sharing Device (or some such message). Basically automagic...

Alan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orangegator:
Is ics working via usb cable on your Tilt with the cooked rom? That should be the first thing to check.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GSLEON3:
Yes. ICS works Via Activesync. Just posted via ICS. Tried No Network Version & H/R. Still can't get past Starting ICS.

Do I need to edit anything in ICS Registry. All it shows for connections is BT or USB. Is that right? Do I need to add Wifi to that list somehow?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] orangegator:
As far as I know, you shouldn't need to edit anything. He lists the Tilt as a device that's been confirmed working. My only suggestion would be to try to uninstall WMWifiRouter and check to make sure it was actually removed. Then do a soft reset. Then reinstall via the .cab or the .exe (whichever you didn't use before). Be sure to read all of the instructions in his first three posts. If it still doesn't work, then it's probably something about the cooked rom causing issues. GL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xda-ajr:
FYI I reproduce this exact problem on the Dash. Keys seem to work since the titlebar changes, but the client area just stays painted with the backup screen. A few times I've managed to shake it free by randomly mashing all the keys on the phone. (I owe chainfire a screenshot of the backup screen).

How to i make it so i can use wifi for internet again? I set it up, got it working as a wifi router, but i like using the speed of my home wifi network and it seems to not use it anymore. It connects properly but does not use it, it instead uses #777 anyway even when I am connected.

Was wondering if this is an issue others have had and how to make it use the regular wifi again.

Ok i might sound a little bit like an ignoramous when it comes to this. I am actually running this program on my xv6700 w/ wm6 rom it works amazingly well! I however do not know how to make this a protected connection i don't just want anyone connecting up to my network and going crazy. I'm guessing you just change the settings for the WMWifiRouter to make it a WEP encryption? I read earlier that WPA does not work. Also can anyone clear up the difference between my WIFI icon and Wireless LAN icon in my connection settings? Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Disconnects after about 5 minutes

First of all, I would like to say this is the coolest app for my 8525.

I've successfull installed v0.89 on a WM6 OS. I was able to connect with my laptop for about 5 minutes consistently, then it disappears while I'm using the connection.

I've looked through the thread and found no one else with the timeout issue that I have. Did I miss step somewhere?

:confused:

Problems with charging

First of all, let me say this application is fantastic, and thanks to all who are involved in its development. :)

Ok, I've been using many versions of WMWifiRouter with no connection problems at all.

My phone is an HTC Mogul with Sprint.

The only problem I have is the phone stops charging after using WMWifi for a bit. Basically, I plug in my phone via AC power, and a solid orange LED lights up and the phone says its charging. I open WMWifiRouter, and it is still charging. About ~5-10 minutes into running the app (give or take, it never seems to be consistent) the orange LED starts to flash and the phone stops charging, and the battery obviously dies after some use. Unplugging and plugging the mini-USB cable back in doesn't solve the problem. The only way to get it to start charging is turn the phone off and reboot. This only has happened while running WMWifiRouter. If I'm not using it, everything always charges fine.

On very rare occasions, maybe twice or 3 times in the couple weeks I've been using it, after the LED is flashing (and therefore not charging the phone) it fixes itself and starts charging again (but only for about 10 minutes again, and then it goes back to flashing)

Any idea what the problem might be and how to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Thank you for the information. I'm cooking a Kaiser ROM myself right now without ICS, so I can confirm how to really get it to work.

There is still something odd going on with the installer. Could you try the 'application exe' in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1799415&postcount=138 ? You will have to create the Ad-Hoc network yourself first though. Note that the program itself is a bit annoying to operate on Smartphone, will try to fix this ASAP.

You can already connect multiple devices.

I'll replace the whole thing with a different screen in upcoming version.

The laptop getting the wrong gateway is really weird... Have you doublechecked your IP settings on the laptop itself? This is a first report of this :)

Will add this to FAQ, thanks for the heads up.

Have you tried selecting infrastructure mode and entering the WMWifiRouter network name there? I think someone mentioned that works.

What is #777 ? When you terminate WMWifiRouter it should reset all settings for WiFi. Try using the Crash Cleanup option. Try soft-resetting. It also _may_ be that your security settings for the WiFi network got lost. Another user reported this may happen.

Yes, you can just go into your control panel's WiFi section and add the WEP stuff to the WMWifiRouter Ad-Hoc network manually. Save it, then soft-reset. You should do this while WMWifiRouter is NOT running but you have WLAN turned on.

Try turning off push e-mail if you have that... may help.

Never heard of this problem, really weird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AraqirG:
Yeah, its really annoying

Quiting WMWifiRouter immediately solves the problem and it starts charging again. The same problem happens regardless of if I'm using AC power or USB power. :(

v0.90 released

This is pretty much a maintenance release. Most fixes are for the smartphone users.

Smartphone users that are having problems, try this version, if necessary the "application only" download, if the installers do not work for you (please retry, they are modified). What you could also try if the installer doesn't work, is first run the certificate cab, then run the installer again.

Changelog:

v0.90

Removed backup notification, seems to annoy smartphone users

Added close menu button for about screen, again for smartphone users

Added more log messages to catch more problems

Added some registry tweaks for WMWifiRouter itself

All code is now digitally signed

Installers add digital certicate, together with the code signing this may reduce some more smartphone issues

Installers adjusted - hopefully fixes the "can't install" issue

Added code certificate cab for manual installation

Added "application only" download

Thanks Chainfire for the hint of turning my push e-mail off. I did that and I get mixed results. Sometimes I can keep a connection for 20 minutes and sometimes I can only keep it for 3 minutes before it automatically disconnects. Any other ideas would be more than welcomed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edboston:
Sorry if this was suggested and I missed it, been busy and haven't been able to follow the thread much.

When I first started using this wonderful app, I also had problems with it shutting down. I traced the problem to the screen saver on my phone. I was using S2U2. There is an option on there to go into a power save type mode that turns off the wifi. When I disabled this option, the connection never went down after that. If you are running a custom screen saver like that, might check for a similar option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sanguy888:
Thanks edboston! I boosted my wifi from optimize battery to optimize performance and it never dropped my connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] borealcool:
This should be mentioned in the FAQ. Many devices have the WiFi radio set to "Best Battery" by default and this makes it extremely unstable under normal conditions and even more so with WMWiFiRouter. I have even read some devices revert back to this setting once the connection is terminated.

As a reminder, its: Settings/Connections/Wireless LAN/Power Mode/ = Best Performance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
All noted and relevant stuff added to FAQ.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amo83:
After a bit more playing around with the exceptional app, i've got my PC and Laptop connected to the router both able to access the internet shared from my Vario 3 and what's more - they can each see network shares on each machine! I assume printers will be visible too but i don't have one to test.

Has anyone got their PS3 connected using this software as mine doesn't seem to connect... it keeps coming up with 'Access point was not detected'
