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.
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:

Good luck!
I had the same issues and can confirm that virtual router works straight away!

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..

same here, couldnt believe my luck when it worked first time with my HD2 and galaxy.
but like you say, it was a one-hit-wonder and pulled my hair out for next hour trying to re-connect but same "obtaining IP" probs.
anyone throw some light on this???????
I have been trying to connect my epic 4G to my laptop through ad hoc connection. I am on CM9 Beta3 and Windows 7 Ultimate. My Epic can detect the ad hoc connection created, but the connection only last for less than 1 second, then stuck in "obtaining IP Address..." while the laptop fails to gain network access (although already "connected").
Tried the WPA2 and WEP but fails.
Does anyone solved this issue?
I would like to use Splashtop using the ad hoc as the local network...
Nevermind...
I use COnnectify instead. Now I can operate my laptop from my Epic...

make sure you have encryption enabled in your settings. otherwise, someone will piggyback off of your connection.
Hi guys,
I am currently online with my computer wich has a 3G Stick/Modem attached to it. (= No WiFi router around I could use)
What I want to do is to somehow connect my DHD to the computer so I could access the internet via the 3G Stick from my phone while the modem is still pluged in to the computer.
I tried creating an Ad-Hoc network but for some reason, my phone wont connect to it, its always stuck on "Authentication" or "Retrieving IP-Adress".
Is there a way I could manage the whole thing by connecting the Phone via a USB-Cable?
When you plug phone into pc there should be an internet pass through option. I know the inspire can do it and I'm pretty sure the dhd is the same.
i dont know what os you have but i can create a wifi network using my macs ethernet port and connect to it. i know this can be done on linux too
Ad hoc network is probably not authenticating because the phone is not being assigned an ip address... (not a networking expert... just telling you what ive noticed with most devices) creating a network bridge between your usb 3g dongle and your wifi might help... not a surefire thing but its worth a shot.
.. if u are using a stock rom or one with sense then theres the internet pass through option which requires htc sync.
