Hi all, I have been trying out various WM6 crossbow ROMs recently but I need the Wireless Modem program .cab file if anybody can kindly upload it.
Wireless Modem is present in PDAVIET's ROMs but I have problem with it using AvantGo 6.2. Midget's WM6 ROM works alright with AvantGo but since it is a vanila build it doesn't have Wireless Modem.
I was told the new Internet Sharing does similar thing to Wireless Modem but I am more familiar with Wireless Modem. Can anyone out there help please? Thanks!
Have you even tried Internet Sharing?
It's really not hard to work out.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know any link on this forum explaining more about Intnernet Sharing? You know with Wireless Modem you put in *99# with a correct APN to initialize a internet connection. How do you do that with Intnernet Sharing?
When I was trying it the "Network Coonection" dropdown list is empty so I suppose I need to make a connection first. Is it the same number *99# to dial do you know?
It's been about a month since I tried it, I seem to recall it didn't matter what I entered on my laptop as it uses the specific connection you have set-up on your device.
Thanks guys!! I have just worked out how to use Internet Sharing through the "help" on the Universal.
For those who may also want to know how it is actually similiar to wireless modem. First create a internet connection and choose GPRS/3G type. Then it gets to the APN which is the same you can use with wireless modem, in my case it is orangeinternet. Job done!!
This connection will now show up on the list of the Internet Sharing connection. If you use USB and the Universal is connected, you will need to disconnect USB cable first, click connect on the Universal and plug the USB cable back. Same as when you have finished the Internet Sharing, otherwise the PC/Laptop won't recognize the Universal.
Who would have thought reading the help file would help

Hello All,
I would like to connect my laptop and my HTC Tytn using the USB Cable and then use the HTC Wifi Adapter to connect my laptop to a hot spot?
Is that possible?
Thanks in advance!
I *think* this is possible but I honestly have no idea as I have never tried it, it is only an idea.
Here is how you would do it (in theory):
1) Connect phone to wifi spot.
2) Turn on Internet Connection Sharing on the phone, selecting USB mode
3) Connect laptop to phone with USB cable.
If all goes well you will have access. I have only done this though with a regular Edge/3G connection, never with a wifi connection, so I can't be sure it will work like that.
Your other answer is to just buy a wireless card for your laptop, they're not that expensive and will be faster wifi then what the Hermes has.
Nope, does not work with the standard internetsharing app.
And as far as i know there is no existing app. that can share the wifi. If there is, i like to know too!
I believe you can but you have to do a registry change that for internet sharing app that changes the input from the cellular modem to the wifi card.

Doesn't work that way - it's rigged to share the 3G/GPRS via wifi, not the other way around.
Have a read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332360 it mentions a few different combinations.
Thank you all guys!

No, that is about creating a wifi-acces point of your WM-device. The question here was to create a wifi-adapter.
But i searched a lot of threads about this, and this confusion is everywhere.
Yes, this is about creating a AP...i'm going to keep looking....

Correct, but a few pages into that thread people ask about different combinations of public/private interface, and the current known possibilities and limitations are discussed.

im trying to do this at the moment too, getting the computer to notice the usb connection as a network card or modem is going to be the trick i think.
i should just spend the $30 and get a wifi dongle from ebay.
Yes st3v3 but that would be easy... LoL

I think we'll need some more info to be able to help, not entirely sure what you're trying to figure out...
Are you wanting to know if your computer will still be able to connect to your router for internet access when your phone is connected to the computer at the same time with the USB cable?

yes, I think that's exactly what I'm asking...do I need to hook my phone directly up to the router with some kind of adapter, or can I just mess with network settings in windows 7 and get it to work?
Thanks
i think he possibly means use his phones internet for the router. so other computers can connect to the phones internet. not sure. need more info
if thats what you want to do you can use ur phone itself as a router

you do know what tethering is right? when you tether you use your phones internet for the computer. so why would you want to tether AND use your internet with the router?
Maybe I'm just asking wrong, just want to be able to use my wireless router like normal, I have my main computer tethered for internet, but I want to use my laptop or xbox to get online like if I had regular internet...

so. to clarify. you dont have regular internet and you want to use your phone just like if you had regular internet? for ALL devices in your house at the same time?
i think it is possible. im not 100% sure. and i dont think you can use your normal router. because your computer would have to act as a dsl/cable modem
i have something that MIGHT work. and i also have win 7. ill try a few things out and see if i can get something to work for you.
ALSO as a side note. i dont recommend using your phone for so many connections because most networks have a 5GB/mo limit. and i dont think it would be best for gaming because of high latency of 3g.
Ok, thanks...I was thinking that about the x-box, that 3g might be too slow, but wanted to try anyway...I do at least want to get my router working though...I did try to call linksys and get support but my router is not covered anymore...
also, what about using that app you recommended...will x-box live recognize that?
ok so i just tried connecting my computer which does not have a wireless card. and my laptop. it can only eeither support multipul wireless connections. or 1 wired connection
the app that i mentioned works well with my laptop it has the same distance as a regular router as far as i can tell.
im not sure if it works with xbox. i see no reason why it shouldnt, but ill try it out.
so basicly you CANT use your router
you can make it all wireless so your laptop xbox any anything else can connect
OR you can have it wired to where only your computer connected
(but i just thought of something you can do that might work so you can use your router. you could possibly bridge your connections imma try it out)
if you figure it out maybe give me some instructions...I really appreciate your help...

ok the thing i thought didnt work. but the xbox works JUST FINE. i havent tested it on any games cus my xbox is banned :X but i dont thinks its to slow. its just say you shoot at someone. a few sec later they get hit. just not instantly
so wireless works fine for all devices. just not your main computer. sorry. i cant find anything that works for your main computer and wireless. and in not sure if theres just an adapter you can buy (if there is that would be awesome)

Kind of clunky but still may work.
Tether to main PC.
Set Ethernet card on main PC to ICS, Internet connection sharing.
Connect Ethernet card to WAN Port on Router.
You may need a cross-over cable.
Point Router Wan connection to IP address of Ethernet card.
Set router IP internal addresses to something other than 192.168.0.xx, such as 10.0.0.1-xxxxxx or other to avoid double NAT.
All the rest inside the router is the regular router stuff.
Other guy may have come up with a Win7 solution already.
This is how I would start with WinXP.

Kind of needing to know where you are with setup now b4 offering any advice.
PM me and maybe we could set up chat/voice connection.
I use Skype.
ok i followed steps on a few sites all tell basically the same thing but when i do that everything works fine EXCEPT my computer dont want to use the phone as the primary device its still trying to use the Ethernet card
( i tired that on my XP comp)
now with windows 7 there is NO luck whatsoever
it wont even recognize the devices if i want to set it up
so i guess the closing answer is use the WIFI sharing app that i posted a link to and just use that as a router
if there is any app or in depth details on how to set it up please tell. to help him out. and for future reference
there possibly is a way just not with my card/OS if you have any luck let me know

Let WinXP computer be the bridging device. It needs to stay on for ICS to work.
Then Xbox, Win7, and others will be on same network for sharing of files.

I have seen a linux variation used as a firewall/router.
If a machine could be crafted to connect to WINMO or other device through USB or other port as an internet modem to the machine which acts as a router, how cool would that be?
Is there anyway I can have my desire use my PC's internet when it is connected via usb?
At this stage I dont have wifi at work and cant use that method.
Essentially I want to reverse the direction of tethering when the phone is connected to my computer.
Thanks, Dean
Unfortunately, reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's Internet connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which is quite annoying. It would be nice if this type of feature, although highly unlikely, could be incorporated an upcoming ROM update for example.
That is annoying, especially since I could do this with my old WM - although thanks for the reply and info.
I wonder if it could be done through an app perhaps.
Cheers, Dean

Yes it's extremely annoying. I had this on my HD and HD2, but i really don't know why HTC could not incorporate this with the Desire. Afterall, it's a desirable (excuse pun) feature.
it has nothing to do with your phone, since it all depends on the host computer. On mac: you can do it easily by sharing your internet connection in system preferences.

If your computer has a wifi card (laptops usually do, desktops don't) you can create a local network and connect your desire to it.
No idea if it's possible over a wire
You don't need to create an ad-hoc network, just download connectify and use it as a hotspot on your laptop, then connect the Desire to the hotspot you just created and that's it.

Ahh that is handy!
Thanks for the tip
I created an adhoc network following this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx
The host laptop itself can see the adhoc network, but desire cannot.
Any ideas?
Maybe I'm wrong but AFAIK Desire can't 'see' ad-hoc networks, only access points. You can get internet from PC, but only using Connectify under Windows 7 or by using advanced magic under Linux.
Am I right or something has changed lately?
BTW: does anybody share internet from Linux? Any suggestions?
As far as i know, you can only see an ad-hoc network if you have the desire rooted and change some files somewhere (can't remember which ones...), either way the next best thing is to use some kind of software that creates an Wifi Access Point.
I don't get it: why would you want to connect to the internet via your PC instead of directly connecting to your WiFi router ?
Maybe when you only have a LAN-connection?
Or Maybe when your in Work and only have a Lan Setup
and want to access / download things on your phone,
Reverse USB tethering would be AMAZING!!!!!

Stupid me, just hadn't realized that still not everyone has a WiFi capable router nowadays...
The problem with ad-hoc internet sharing is that your host PC still needs a WiFi connection. You can't use internet through USB. I've tried it yesterday at work (yes, for the Froyo update ), but no succes.
Having a smartphone in a country with high mobile data costs is like having a Ferrari to do your local grocery shopping Fortunately I'll have unlimited mobile internet next week. So I can finally use my Desire as intended.
Well as the heading suggests. Can you tether your WiFi connection through your phone to you PC. Preferably in the form of an app.

I'm sorry. I'm talking about using your phone as a WiFi receiver not to transfer files. Basically 3G tethering for WiFi.

What exactly do you need, I don't understand this WIFI receiver part, do you want your phone to act as WIFI AP to be able sharing your 3G/WIFI connection to your PC?
If this is the case then it depends on the ROM that you are using, Cynogenmod has this built in. It's called WIFI tethering.

What I mean is instead of tethering 3G you tether the mobile WiFi connection.
And yes I'm running CM7. I'm NOT looking to make a hotspot.
In other word you use your phone to connect to the WiFi and then tether the connection through USB and then the PC is indirectly connected to the WiFi by using the phone
Sorry if this makes no sense.

Ok I get it, and my apologies for being rude.
Every post I read on the subject across various forums implied that this method uses your 3g instead of keeping your wifi connection active, i haven't tried it myself for a while and i know it didn't work for me before on a previous nightly but if you say it keeps wifi connection open and allows your PC to connect then I trust your judgment and would say try that before installing an app to do the same job.

You don't need any client app on your PC. It's quite difficult to identify cause this way. I don't know your set-up, what OS are you using, do you have HTC drivers installed (which version)?
My setup is:

Wildfire S-OFF
CM7 nightly 225
PC:

HTC drivers
If you don't have drivers, you can try these ones.
