As a wifier with a pda2k , how does one know if he has been discovered by the network owner and in addition , where he has gone , not to mention the pda's security . My files can't be looked at can they? I need serious security assistance . My personal data may have allready been compromised! Damn .
Thank you.
(I'll just wait here on a secure network till I can secure my 'lil unit
Treat your PPC as if it were a portable computer running on celeron. As of the moment I can only recall maybe 4 known viri for Windows Mobile. If you are an avid WiFi'er as I am, try to browse your unit from your desptop pc without activesync activated. You might want to port scan the PPC as well. I run an FTP and web server on my unit (for my own purposes), and I have never had any files compromised unless I allow it. If you are really that peranoid, encrypt the files you don't want read without your permission.
Well I'm a Mac guy so browsing on a desktop won't happen. I just need to be able to surf annomously and not have the network owner view me or my files.
The netwqork admin will always know you are using the router because the wifi router assigns you an IP address. No getting around that. But it will be highly unlikely that he can access your unit resources unless you have a backdoor trojan running on your unit. If you don't know, google up "antivirus scanner for pocket pc", and install it.
Hey MACGUY have you seen PocketMAC? It could be useful!
SORRY i didnt mean to hijack your thread!
NOMADMAN - you said your are a wifi junky - How do I surf the net from my MDA3 using WIFI. Is appears that I can connect to my belkin wireless router but when I open IE - No page can be displayed and then it asks me to check my settings but then all the new connection settings doesnt include wifi connectivity? HELP!

Thanks . I installed the viri scanner and found nothing. It maybe that the open AP is being tapped by someone else as well as me , explaining the third MAC address. Can this be possible? It's a ff.ff.ff.ff.ff
Windows Mobile 6 devices offer Internet Sharing feature for Bluetooth and USB. It works in this way that you start Internet Sharing application inside of your Windows Mobile phone and then other devices can share the Internet connection. What if you could fool Windows Mobile phone and instead of Bluetooth use WiFi? Would it be possible? Yes, it is:
how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes the Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
I got this from a different website.

Edward!! you rock! this has got to be the sweetest thing, since wm6..for me atleast, Im actually posting from my old hacked OSX x86, I really cant believe this worked, but it did.
Thanks a ton for sharing the info.
Edward, Can you plse explain why you set the wifi adaptor to a fixed IP?
The 192.168.1.1 is as far as I know only valid if the router has the 192.168.1 range. For me it should be 192.168.123. ...
Thx for an explanation.
a cab would be perfect!
Yes! A very nice feature; could this be put in as a cab?
Or better, in the comm manager.....
Anyone?

I tried the steps to the letter however, I am unable to connect. I tried on one device running Schaps 3.54c & the other vp3G. I get confused after I complete the step "select wireless tab then add new." The new wireless network shows unavailable on my device" I think I'm unsure how to configure the connection on the PC side. I'm unable to get the wireless configurator to allow me to input a specific IP address. I'm using Windows XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, I have been resisting, but why would you do this.
If you are using wifi to access the Internet, and the phone and PC both have wifi (in order to use wifi sharing), why not just access the wifi directly from the PC? Sorry to be thick, but I don't see why you would want this?

THANK YOU
I have tried this out and it apprears to work pretty well- thank you so much, I had hoped this would be figured out. i had the idea to do this but not the technical know how.
This is awesome
but you know what would be also interesting?
to be able to share the wifi connection over Bluetooth or usb instead of the cellular.
Basically using the phone as a wifi adapter.
What say you?
titan 6800
Has any one gotten this to work with the 6800? The registry key for bluetooth is different.
Thanks

Actually, it came from this site - we've been discussing it for days in the Development and Hacking forum! It was in this post by Fluxist who'd discovered it in the first place, and the other sites have been following suit... we're working on a more elegant way to do it now. And you directly quoted his post!
I'm going to be trying to write a full-on NAT router for it I think, although we're seeing if we can do a basic version for now.
man, i cannot belive this..
that is amazing

I was thinking the same thing. I frequently stay in foreign hotels in which are "unwired." I'd love to use my phone as the registered device when buying wifi so that I could make VOIP calls and check my e-mails on ground and tether it to my notebook back in the roam. In Dubai, you can get hooked for $30 a day for wifi.

Heh, it's cool dude - PPCGeeks got it from us - but check your research ;-) No point having duplicate threads.
I have been flashing a few 2.03 ROMs in the last few days and in all of them I find the same malfunction. I first tried with a few cooked ROMs and finally also with the stock one, same result.
Problem is with setting a static IP in WIFI. At first, it works all fine. However, soon after disconetting WIFI, you get the surprise of being unable to use the data connection over GPRS. I have trying everything (dunno how many soft- and hard-resets, even changing radio's), the only solution I have been able to find was simply that of deleting all parameters referring to the WIFI connection (including hence the static ip). By doing that, all gets back to normal. Simple solution but kind of annoying if everytime I want to use WIFI and static-IP (quite often in my case) I have to set all parameters again and again. I am now back to a 2.00 ROM which has not this problem.
Any chance someone can suggest a more elegant and stable solution?
cheers, much appreciated
Same problem here.
best regards
Got the same problem
Got the same problem here: running Dutty's V4 ROM I can't connect if I have a static ip address listed for my WIFI connection. I did have the same issue once before on a 1.93 ROM which was fixed by a hard reset, but no joy with that this time.
bump! so many new good roms flying around... i wonder whether this bug with WiFi/staticIP has been fixed. ???
thanx

well u can use wi-fi profiles, to make profiles for each ESSID with the static ip and wep key if any, i have 4 profiles each with different statics ip's and keys. and when using gprs, i just click on dhcp only and voila. altho i didnt had the problem with static + gprs data, i'm not using gprs so much, but still i think this is a good solution, will upload cab tomorow here ( i found it on this forum somewhere cant remember exactly) cheers

today I've tried to make a rom with new wm build and eom and drivers from 2.00 (which don't have this problem) but gprs doesn't work with static ip... so i think it is caused from last wm build... damn microsoft
I'm having a similar problem - I have a static IP and can not connect to wi-fi unless connected to activesync...
Can the wifi profiles program help? If so what do I have to do on it? Do I have to change any values?
Any other ideas?
His!…
the same problem with Touch PRO from the update of ROM.
Installing the old ROM it even follows the problem.
Greetings
I have the same problem as well. I can connect to wifi at home with or without activesync , but sometime I can't connect free wifi at Mcdonald or car wash. Can someone help pointing out problem? or setting I need to do. Many thanks
I'm having the same problem with wm 6.1 build 21043, this sucks so much. I thought it was a problem with the hardware in the Diamond at first, but so many other people are having it that it's more than likely a problem with Windows Mobile.
Any fixes?

Turn on DHCP server on, that means AP will gives you automatically IP, and you can use wireless connection...
In options in "select networks" , select "my work" or something similarly, don't use ISP!
I don't have problem with active DHCP server on my HTC diamond, and i can use everywhere wireless connection...
I use Cloudy1.1 rom

@all,
just havin sold my iphone i am missing synching my mails with my pda over wireless, since my belkin n1 wireless router simply doesnt allow my artemis to connect
so, mind you telling me how you connect successfully?!
- which hardware / wlan access do you use?
greetz
Any wireless router will help you connect with artemis. I have used Dlink, netgear and also linksys routers to connect.
TO connect sucessfully, you need to activate wireless on the router. Then enable wireless in your arte using the comm manager. Once the wireless is activitated, try searching for networks.
Regards,
Kailash
thanx,
but i really aint a novice!
I have tried the belkin n1 now for time and time again...it searches, finds the network, asks for the pin...and returns wireless as unavailable again...
this repeats regardless of security settings or anything else i tried
i remember there having been a lengthy discussion on this...just cant find it..
so back to my question:
which hardware does work?
ideally quote your settings as well, please
greetz
have you checked that both the router and artemis are using the same authentication type? WPA/WEP etc
it might be worth checking that your router isnt set to N-Only for connection speed too....cant remember what speeds the artemis supports but B or G are most likely and maybe your router would reject the connection if it's the wrong type...IIRC the 'N' spec is still in-progress so not widely supported yet
Try a D Link DIR-655

You are not alone!!! I bought a Belkin N1 Vision in December to replace an ageing 3Com router and no matter what I tried I couldn't get my artemis to work. Even without any security. Finally sent the Belkin back and got a D-Link DIR-655. It works like a dream. Connected with no problems at all.
Darn, that confirms what i thought for quite some time - anybody intrested in owning an N1Belkin!
Just doublechecked with an old netgear--and it connects right away...
thanx for ur help!
now could we widen the length of compatible routers, pls.?!
greetz
I use a sitecom 300N router and my artemis connects with it without any problem.
Phill
Netgear
Hi, I use a Netgear WNR834B. No problems using WiFi with Artemis.
Setup; WiFi up to 270 MbPs, region Europe, channel 6 broadcasting and the strongest encryption for security.
With all of the ROMs i have used, there were no WiFi issues.
Regards
This may be stating the obvious, and I apologize if it sounds stupid, but has anyone checked for the "wireless mode" on the router ?
Just ensure the router is on "mixed mode", i.e. it supports b/g/n connections...
Hope this helps...
hmm I also have problems with SMC (SMCWBR14S-N2), mixed mode, but not connect with Artemis.. my notebook connect without any problems.
had the same problem with n1. tried and tried last night with luck, removed all settings on artemis dissapointed. gave it another go this evening after booting system up and connected okay after putting in password.
just double check all the router wireless settings and any security settings you have. save any changes and restart the router.
hope this helps

Well done getting it to work. I thought I tried everything! Perhaps it was the restart that did it. Too late for me to confirm. My Belkin went back to be replaced with the DLink 655. Good router but does slow down with time and needs a reboot every now and then.
Hi there. Have got this issue with sharing internet on my Note 2 when I switch on the WiFi hotspot. I can switch on the Hotspot, and I can get other devices (phones, my laptop) to connect to it as well. But none of the devices can access the internet.
I have been using my other phone, an HTC Incredible S, without any issues. But the same does not seem to work with my Note 2. It worked fine when I used it a few weeks ago, though. And I don't remember making any changes. It is stock, and I have added an extra SD card which is about the only new thing in the phone.
EDIT: Ok, here is an update: Bluetooth tethering does not work either. However, I have noticed that I can share the internet if it is not 3G. I don't seem to have any problems sharing a net connection I get from another wifi source.. Makes sense?
Thanks folks!
Hi , i have the same problem
i want to connect my Note II to my laptop so i can use the internet connection of my laptop
i get the internet by a dongle (truemove 3G+ Thailand 15kb/sec ! )
i can acces my laptop, however i can only do this with a static ip adress.
i use the program " virtual router " wich works fine
but after th econnection has been made i still cannot acces the internet
as far as i know i opened everything in my system that i can think of to make it possible for my Note to acces the internet
it still not work
after this i tried the progran Pdanet.
same story , connection with the laptop but no internet
i am starting to believe that maybe my windows7 is blocking somewhere ?
btw. firewall is offline , no virus program installed

Hello there!
I think you have a different issue here In fact, quite the opposite! I was unable to share my 3G connection with bluetooth/wifi tethering options. I did a factory reset, and it is all fine now.
