Hey Guys,
I just got my amazing desire but I have no router at the moment so I'm using connectify.
My first problem with it though is that it could no obtain an ip address so I set a static one and it now connects instantly.
Which leads me to my second problem. It says I'm connected but I still cant load a webpage. I have enabled sharing on my ethernet port an everything so that devices can go through it.
Anyone experienced any problems like this at all?
Thanks,
Percy
You shouldn't have to enable sharing on your eth port, conectify should do all of this for you.
Do have any other devices you could connect with to test?
My only tw other wireless devices are my DS and my DSi and because Connectify only used WPA, my DS's only support WEP so i cannot test it with them
My desire and Connectify
I have the same problem and I'm waitting for any solution. Connected but no browsing >>> I try another device it's working well with my Connectify but my HTC desire connected but no browsing
Hint : I'm using MIUI rom in my htc desire.

As title, I am considering getting a Macbook, and wondered if it's possible, or anyone has experience using HTC Sync, and using a Desire for tethering?

definatly no htc sync BUT give us a few seconds and i'll try out tethering
can't seem to find the login info and stuff for orange but it doesn't do it automatically you have to type it all in but that should be sorted with wifi tether, lets hope.
It's really tethering I'd be interested in, not fussed whether the HTC Sync works particularly...
Not sure about OSX but USB tethering works out of the box on a Linux (Fedora) machine. Plugged it in with 'Internet Sharing' enabled and it was detected as a usb network interface. Unplugged my ethernet and confirmed it works!
mac kept asking for log in details i will have to try it sometime soon while out of wifi range and just using phone.

That's good to know, would be great if anyone could confirm it working with OSX!
Hello,
has someone managed to get this working without using any third party tool ?
When I set the desire to share network connection, I see an modem available in the network configuration on the MAC but I cannot get it to connect, It keeps on prompting for cnx parameters , where there should be none ...
This is really annoying !
Thanks for your help !
I tried for ages and failed miserably to get it to work. In the end I caved and got PDAnet.
FroYo has the WiFi router capability now so I'm not worried about it.
Legend and Mac Internet Connectivity
Hi
I have been trying this with a Mac running OSX (Tiger) and an HTC Legend.
I got as far as starting system preferences....network
The Mac detected the Phone and I tried setting up the configuration with the Advanced button.
I used the Generic vendor, which then offered me a drop down:
bluetooth LAN access
dialup device
or GPRS (GSM)
I chose the latter - but it also asks for an APN and a CI (default is 1)?
Not sure what these are - or what to enter?
Or is this a red herring?
Many thanks
Just wondering if its possible to share my internet connection from my laptop to HTC Desire.
Like use my laptop as an access point and share wired connection using Laptop Wi-Fi as i've seen thr are apps for iphone for that.
if your laptop is connected via cable and u have windows (perhaps mac or linux work as well, don know) use ICS http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/
I'm affraid that it is only possible with Windows 7. HTC Desire won't find ad-hoc wifi connection.
If you have Windows 7 installed, try connectify.
Works like charm.
Of course you can try with WiFi router as well.
i wonder if its possible over bluetooth? i dont have wifi so its my only option ;D
if you have a mac, you can do it with the sharing-preferences.
Saw this link...
Use HTC Sync
"After you have installed HTC Sync successfully, please connect the handset to the computer via USB cable then drag the status bar down from the top of the screen. Choose Internet pass-through as the connection type. The handset will now be able to access the internet through the computer's connection."
Hope this helps

Nope, this only applies to the new Desire HD.
Can't be found in the FAQs for the standard Desire.
:-(
I'm just also looking for a solution to do that but can't find one.
found solution
dude...mine is galaxy ace...i used "mhotspot" software(noo need to install it) to share internet from my laptop over wifi.
its successfull...
you also have video on youtube about "mhotspot" chk itt
Guys,
I recently came across connectify app and installed it on my Windows 7 laptop. It installed just fine and created a WIFI Hotspot for me.
But when I try to connect to that WIFI Hotspot from my desire , it keeps saying "Obtaining IP Address from Connectify" and never connects. I am not sure what's wrong , something in my Desire or something with Connectify or if I need to fix some settings in my Win7 laptop ?
Can someone please advise.
FYI - Windows 7 is connected to a my workplace LAN and requires a proxy authentication if i need to access internet.
Thanks in advance;
Even I'm facing problems connecting to Connectify.
I suspect that IP address is not getting assigned since there are no DHCP servers running on the PC. That might be the first problem
Second thing is, even if I run a dhcp server (I'm yet to do it...) in my PC, I think the wifi and ethernet might be on the same or different network based on how the dhcp server is configured. But setting Default Gateway and DNS settings are whats getting me confused.
If I can find some Idle time, i can experiment and try it.. If anyone is already using it successfully, they can post on how to do it here.. will be very helpful.
My laptop is connected to my ADSL modem via ethernet cable, and I'm connecting the mobile to my Laptop's wifi (Via connectify which makes the WLAN in laptop appear as an Access point). This connectify should share the wired internet to my mobile via Wlan but i'm have not yet found how to set it up..
old post i know, but i wanted to chime in and let these people know that the latest beta fixes these problems. at least it now works for me on my eris

I have the same problem with Connectify 2.0.1.15550, what version are you using?
I found the 2.1 beta, all working now. Thanks.
I had the same problem with connectify and I sincerely suggest you to try Virtual Router. It's crappy but it works.
You can get it here:
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/releases/view/36035
Good luck!
I had the same issues and can confirm that virtual router works straight away!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Turn off Windows Firewall...
... at least untill you get the IP.
About proxy, that's a whole other story. Still messing with Transproxy, but no success yet.
Hey. I tried Connectify put I got the 'obtaining IP address' problem.
So I tried Virtual Router ... but again I have having problems 'obtaining IP'.
I am trying to connect my Samsung Galaxy S to my Windows 7 Laptop.
Help me...
Thanks guys

Connectify`s main usage is to share the wired broadband to the mobile using wifi in laptop as a hotspot. It should be fairly straightforward but needs to set some settings correctly. It would be great if someone for whom its working to post it setp-by-step. Will be really helpful.
And strangely there are no guides on the net on how to set it up exactly in wondows 7 and connectify homepage does not give any useful info.
I keep getting "obtaining IP address from..." on my Android device...
why is this?
Virtual Router or connectify don't work..
is it because android does not support Ad-Hoc?
I have running Froyo 2.2 though...
Any help?
Thanks
Hi,
I don't know if it's really the same problem here but I also had some issues with Windows 7, connectify and the devices I tried to connect.
After following the steps to create a wifi hotspot, I had to deactivate the windows firewall on the private networks (I specified to windows that the connectify network was a private network).
There should be a way to setup the correct permission in the firewall's permission table to make it work properly... Unfortunatly I haven't find it yet.
So it's a quick fix. Hope it will help you.
This will fix the Galaxy S's inability to connect / locate ad-hoc networks

Hi guys,
Am new to this forum and new to smartphones.
i faced the same problem in connecting my Wildfire to PC with connectify.
finally i got my own way to sort it out
as most of u got till "obtaining IP address" next is
menu>settings>wireless and networks> wifi settings.
in that again menu>Advanced .
fill these settings
1. check on the static IP
2. IP addres = 192.168.2.2
3. Gateway = 192.168.2.1
4. netmask = 255.255.255.0
5. dsn1 = 8.8.8.8
6. dsn2 = 8.8.4.4
now close wifi and restare wifi Hope it will work. It worked for me

You need this file for the Desire - search around XDA. You might have to download version 6 of the file.
When you download it, flash it from recovery.
Meanwhile, create an adhoc network on your laptop or wherever, configure the IP address (192.168.137.1 is the IP of the laptop - Windows, for some reason or another, doesn't like sharing on other IPs, though I haven't tried lately) and set your encryption to WEP.
Share your connection from LAN, and you're good to go. On the phone, the adhoc networks will be represented with an asterisk, like
(*)network
none of them work on win 7 64 bit - on win 7 32 bit I cen get IP, on 64 bit cant, whan assigned static IP by below at previous posts, I can connect, but internet does not work.

i came here from google as well. i had the obtaining ip address issue with connectify on win xp and zte blade with cyanogenmod (N142). thanks to this post, i solved the obtaining ip issue, and my phone managed to connect to connectify. apparently: my phone doesn't appear in clients tab in connectify, and my phone doesn't transfer any data traffic. so from the phone it looks like connected, but from connectify no.
edit: i found out that i succesfully connect to connectify with my smartphone only the first time i try (because it worked the very first time i used connectify and the first time i tried again after a complete reset of my phone). then, if i disconnect/reconnect, i find the "obtaining IP"/"no data traffic" issues. of course, resetting my phone each time i want to use my laptop's wifi isn't very handy..

i know there is something configuration settings that i am missing on both of my phones... as i am an new in android despiting of my previous experience with symbian.
can anybody help me step step method to configure it properly....
thanks in advance....
I've had problems connecting to my Wifi too, although using the default Wifi manager.
I'll press the wifi button on the power control widget and the wifi icon appears stating it's connected but i can't get any internet. I then have to disable and renable it for it to work.
have u get any success by doing this... but i think i m not getting the appropriate configuration settings....
You have to change your router I had the same probs but my wifi worked at a diff router
Hello everyone,
I have a broadband wired connection at home on my laptop (Lenovo GT570) and i tried to use the ad hoc wireless connection to make it a wireless router. But where my nokia N97 device searched and connected to my laptop hotspot, my HTC one x could not search not connect to my laptop.
I used every kind of security key like WPA WEP etc....
Even my phone doesnt connect to some smaller android versions like gingerbread, when tried to connect to their wifi hotspot.
I know that Android would not connect to Joiku Hotspot in my Nokia N97 due to android security issues.
Please Help to find a way to connect to my laptop wifi hotspot as well as to the older android versions.
Thanks in advance
