I've been using Myns excellent Donut Warm Donut rom and it worked fine with regular ap or Wifi routers. But when I try to connect it to a softap that i created with a tplink TL-WN321G usb adaptor, android gets full signals, connects to it fine, and it gets a correct IP and all. But thats as far as it goes. No data is transmitted and there is no internet connectivity. no ping from either side, and i tried to traceroute through the console and it terminated at the phones own ip. The softap works fine with other laptops and computers, and android works fine with a tplink router. Ive tried this on both donut and eclair, with no luck. Anybody got any idea? Please help! Btw I scoured internet forums for days for this, and I found a guy who had this working with the exact same adaptor, but hes on linux. Im on XP sp3.
What Im trying to do: dsl connection>PC>softap>android phone
I just tried connectify.me in windows 7, with the same exact results, even though I've seen many people say they use it to connect their android to their pcs internet. Any help please... I've checked route etc and the gateways correct too... but thats as far as my expertise go.
for what its worth i got the problem fixed by using the adhoc method. I'm surprised noones facing the same problem. Everyones using 2g/3g? or routers? :|
Brother i am also want to tary it to sahre my ptcl Evo on samsung galaxy s will it work with same wifi USB drive as urs ?

We have a 3com wireless router at home. The laptop downstairs connects to it through a PCMCIA wireless adapter. My phone also connects to it fine, no probs at all.
However, we have a pc upstairs with no wireless on it at all. I have been told that I can use the phone to "simulate" a wireless connection to the router through its USB connection. I have tried this using the program Wireless Modem on the phone but to no avail. Windows XP keeps looking for a driver that a dont have and is not supplies on the CD that comes with the phone. Any ideas where I can get this driver from, or am I doing this just completely wrong...... :roll:
Thanks
There seems to be a growing amount of threads regarding the whole WiFi scenario.
I have experienced problems too. I have managed to configure the wifi and it picks up my belkin wireless router but it cant surf.
I am also using XP!
Your problem is slightly different to mine but I will have a go at your problem too.
GOOD LUCK!
Ok. JUst to update, i have found the drivers that install the the phone as a HTC USB Modem but im still having no luck. Im trying to simulate my phone as a wireless card to connect to my router downstairs.
Is this possible???
samething
Ive just got myself in the same situation. I have the XDA2i connected to my WIFI router fine, I can go on the WWW. Im now need to get my laptop into the loft where Im doing some work on an iriver H10 20gb (trying to construct a connection box as they arn't available until Sept!!!) I need the net access to look up pinouts on chips. I don't have a WIFI card for the laptop yet (should be here soon as on back order :evil: )
SO I want to use the PDA as a wifi card for my laptop through the usb port. How do i get the laptop to see the PDA as a network card and configured for this operation??
Cheers
@ all,
it might sound a bit surprising, but I dont get my new artemis ( i now own one with wifi !, my hero didnt!),
working with the wireless of my belkin n1 router!
everytime i enter the mac adress into the router, wlan stops alltogether! ( do i need to enter the mac adress?)
entering the normal wpa-psk passwords into wm6.1 vanilla or b&b5, the connection constantly changes between available, but not connecting, and unavailable... even when sitting right next to the router!
any ideas?
help highly appreciated!

news:
got it working for now-- changed wlan channel in rpouter to channel11, which is preset in wm6.1!
is that how its done?
Update:
most of the times the router just kills the wlan function all in all once i try to connect with the artemis!
Need to reboot router to get it running again!
Where am i going wrong?
p.s. no, i aint a novice
I've got the same roblem mate. Not got a clue what to do ?
Had the same issue with a Belkin N router yesterday. Solution I dumped it went down to Maplins and got a Netgear. Plugin and I was away.
Had flashed the rom serveral times (Win 5, 6, 6.1 some of the cooked roms) nothing worked was thinking it was a hardware failure.
Dont' appear to matter how you set the belkin nothing works.
Thou oddly my Exec connects with it just fine.

Gee, that would for sure make me one unhappy pal!
Anybody around here has another idea!
Possibly some tips on "Must does" ! for connecting via wifi with artemis! Whats with the mac address-thing?!!!
Greetz
To be honest, I've looked at dozens of sites searching for a solution to this issue. Everything from flashing the ROM (Device and router), enter MAC on the router, set a IP address, changing channels, security settings and nothing appear to work with the Belkin N family.
My experience with Belkin has not been good (Tech support has always been first class).
The first router (Cheap 54g) would run for 2 hours then lockup, requiring a reset of both the router and cable modem). Replaced by Belkin after several days talking to tech support.
The second router (Same 54g unit, different Version number) Ran fine until you moved data about, anything downloading above 150k locked the router. Wired connections could do 300k then lock up. Replaced by Belkin.
The third unit (Upgraded to a 2 stick version for free) DOA. Replaced by Belkin
The forth unit (Same 2 stick version) worked data transfers good but would not allow wifi connections other than WEP 64. Firmware update would then WEP 128. Replaced by Belkin.
The Fifth unit (Same 2 stick version, different version) Wifi worked with all settings. However with wifi on all wired connections ran like a 56k modem. Replaced by Belkin.
The sixth unit (Upgraded to the N) Worked fine. Wired connections fine, wifi was a bit hit or miss, two Toshiba laptops connected fine, the Dell laptop never connected. Belkins own N usb dongle also never connected.
My Orbit never connected to any of the Belkins, the Exec did with some and others not.
This issue is not limited to Belkin, if you look about, other makers routers also appear to have this issue.
The cheap Netgear (£35) works just fine for me. Took 5 minutes to setup. Everything in the house connects. I`m happy after 7 months of Belkin issues.
uiuiui,
what a story!
just so we dont get us wrong here: had my n1 now for about 6months, and its running just fine with all my notebooks! - just since trying to connect with my artemis i am running into probs!
A theory of this mornings trials:
any way of changing the preconfigured broadcast channel 11 within the artemis? --- seems to me the channelchanging is causing the hangups!
will try setting the router to channel 11 and see what happens!
greetz
Ive set channel to 6 in the N router, the Art/Orbit will find it and go though the motions of connecting and make it unavailable (our problem with N routers). The Network setting will show its on ch6 (if you can there before it becomes unavailable). Then goes to ch11.
I think the Art/Orbit just runs in sequence though the channels, if it gets a lock it uses that channel. If not it moves on, I think we just see ch11 because its the last ch available in the scan.
Have just played with the Netgear channels and the Art/Orbit connects with every channel, the Network setting page shows the correct channel that the routers broadcasting.
So it don't appear that the channel is hard coded to the Art/Orbit.
Ok stumbled across this thread a little too late. Our Linksys wrt54g was not able to handle the kind of data we were transferring and moved to a Belkin_N1 router, I have an HTC Wizard but same symptoms, if I try to connect to Belkin I can not connect to anything WIFI before a soft-reset, I get prompted for key fine once and during connection something messes up the wifi radio, I am not sure if its a software or hardware issue but got the same issue with an SMC router, while my D-Link at home is working fine. I wasted so much time flashing ROMs and what not. Thanks for everyone who has put info here, somebody can read here and save the pain of hitting the wall with frustration.
ok im new here but have had alot of help from the forums my current problem is that i cant connect my att tilt 2 to my computer and then hook up a router to share the internet.i owned a blackjack 2 that i could connect at dialup speeds just to download stuff for my ps3 and ive litterally done everything ive dumped my ip and renewed it ive set it up manually and nothing works my tilts basically att outta the box i can tether it to my computer(hp mini 10) just not to a router from there without problems or even direct wired from laptop to ps3 it connects and disconnects the router and ps3 over and over again and says timed out on looking for ip and if i can get it to find ip it says internet connection has failed ive been working on this for a few weeks and still havent had any luck im not totally computer illiterate but not savy just wondering if anyone had any suggestions that might help thx
Hey guys, I've activated the Froyo Sense wifi hotspot feature, and while my XP laptop can easily see the network and connect, it can't actually receive any data. I've checked the HSPDA on the phone and it's fine; but trying to view a website on my laptop in Firefox when connected just does work, it just keeps saying 'looking for', e.g. 'looking for google.co.uk'. I'm on T-mobile UK in case that's relevant.
Does anyone else have any issues?
Make sure that you have DHCP enabled and also automatic DNS detection. For me (Vista laptop, phone on Vodafone NL) it works fine.
And it may also be that T-Mob is somehow detecting what you are trying & then blocking it...
In the end I ran Windowx Xp network diag repair and that finally seemed to fix it. Weird, never had any issues with any other hotspots I've tried using! Very strange, although I did notice the IP address Froyo gave my laptop was exactly the same that my normal router serves up, maybe this was the issue and Windows just got a bit confused, poor thing...
Can anyone confirm Ad-hoc support? I know Honeycomb supports ad-hoc connections right out of the box (well at least I know the TF tablet does) so I was hoping that ICS supports connecting to an ad-hoc wifi connection. I'm not talking about tethering a device to the GN, I'm talking about reverse tethering. At work it's a cell black hole. Doesn't matter what provider you have, the signal is crap. I have Cyanogen on my OG Droid and it allows me to connect to the ad-hoc wifi connection I've set up on my laptop to give the droid some form of data connection while I'm at work.
I still want the phone regardless of whether or not it supports ad-hoc as I'm sure in due time it'll be easy enough to implement with a custom rom. It would just be nice to know if it'll support it when ever Verizon gets around to releasing it.
i ve flashed my SGS i9000 with ICS port rom , and i ve notice that there are no ad-joc support, thats really a big pity , i ve tried to find an application in the market to allow me to connect via ad-hoc networks , but i found nothing ... i hope there will be solousion soon time
Yeah, from what it looks like in the bug tracker, I believe the only reason why the Asus TF has Ad-Hoc support is because Asus enabled it themselves, not Google. I wish Google would take their heads out of their you know where and make this simple change. It's not like they need to research how to fix it since all the research has already been done.
Can't answer your question, but if you're running Windows 7, have you tried Connectify to make your laptop a hotspot? It's free and I hear it works pretty well.
Also, maybe there is a ROM out there that support the Bluetooth PAN profile (Android 2.3 doesn't, maybe ICS already does?), so you can just connect the phone to your laptop using that link, no wifi needed, less battery usage since it's bluetooth, and I believe that's what the PAN profile is intended to be used for anyway.
not working here
i tried editing tiwlan but did not find that config file
haven't found any other tutorials concerning adhoc on Android 4.0
btw it is issue number 82 on Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project (not allowed to post outside links for me)
Updated my phone to Android 4.0.2 and still no ad-hoc...
Is there an application that can do it?

I wish we had Win 7 at work. Sadly we're still running XP so connectify is a no go. I've also heard it works pretty well but sadly I can't even test it out.
I haven't tried Bluetooth PAN yet with the GN but I believe the bluetooth stack on my laptop is also crippled. I tried doing the same with my tablet (which I know allows bluetooth PAN) and the laptop wouldn't setup a proper PAN. Seems like we're SOL regarding Ad-hoc until someone releases a hack for it or a ROM comes out.
Any progress?
I've got the same problem... Poor reception at work, and running XP.
(Although, I've also got a Linux machine, and tried sticking an USB wifi adapter in it, but the stock driver doesn't support Master Mode on it. Maybe I should just get myself a new USB wifi adapter that's properly supported by Linux? Any recommendations?)

I haven't heard of anything yet. It doesn't look like any of the ROMs have it yet either.
I'm kinda lucky though, I was recently transferred in my company and I'm now located in a building where I get a decent 4G signal all day. Also my new laptop is Win 7. I did play around with connectify a bit. It works but not extremely well for me. I wind up losing connection quite often. I did read though that it's possibly something to do with AV or Firewall, and knowing my company, that's probably it.

I have Winxp at work also on my laptop and connectify works with my Asus transformer. But for the galaxy nexus it doesn't recognize the adhoc network during wifi scan. Need a new supplicant file installed.
