Hi everyone!
I'm having kind of a special problem.
I'm an electro acoustic musician and finds the Desire a lot of fun.
My new project is to use its accelerometer etc and for that I need to connect it to my Mac running OSX 10.6.5.
The issue I'm having is that my network (campus ish) won't allow me to open any ports. I don't think it's a good idea to hack it, so my next idea is to create a network between my Mac and my Desire. This network won't have access to the internet.
It also has to be via Wifi since the app I'm using only allows communication through wifi and my java skills aren't good enough to edit the apk.
I therefore run Oxygen 1.0 (GREAT rom btw) which is supposed to accept ad-hoc, and my computers own network does show up when i browse it in my phone.
The problem is that it dosn't connect since it isn't given an ip. I imagine there has to be a solution to this and I'm just not seeing it. I'm also thinking it could be an OSX issue and not really a question for this forum, but I'm pretty sure it should be possible to just make the phone not requesting an internet ip.
I've tried to set a static IP but this won't work ether.
Does anyone have a clue on how to do? I'm quite desperate really. Been searching for a solution online for quite some time and I haven't found the right one. Probably because most people using ad-hoc want it's phone to connect to the internet and therefore not having my kind of trouble. Unfortunately I have no way of connecting my computer to the router with wire since the router is about 400 meters away. Once of corse, but i really need a wireless solution in the long run.
Thanks!

hello everybody,
i´ve checked the wikis and searched through the whole forum but did not find anything related to that. my question is:
my notebook is connected via the internet connection sharing - everything is working fine - but i can´t use some services because i need to forward the ident port (113) among a few others for that.
so, any idea how i can do that? (if possible at all).
any help would be greatly appreciated!
I think port forwarding might be a bit hard.
First thing you need to check is what IP your Tytn gets from your ISP. If its in the private IP range
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
then its not going to happen. Your ISP(ie your telco) is NATing you further up the chain and they are the ones who needs to forward the ports for you.
It doesn't really matter what IP he gets from his ISP - the phone is already NAT'ing the connection. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to forward ports with the phone.
Ofcourse it does. If his phone is getting a public ip there im sure there is a way to forward the ports.
But if his ISP is doing the NATing then there is no way.
hmm, so you guys think it´s already time to give up hope?
The same question.
I need port forwarding for utorrent client...
When it was WM5, there was a Modem program, so we can easy create and ue dial-up connection on PC! and PC gets real IP from cellular provider...But now WM6 works as Router and PC gets fake IP from mobile device(mobile gets real ip from cell provider)
And we can't do anything
Dmitry: Just because I'm curious: what network you are using and what is the ip subnet you are provided by the operator? So never seen in even one operator, that would provide me with external IP.
Does this do what you are looking for?
I found this app.

Hey everyone. I'm looking for a way to turn my Hermes into a mobile hotspot. Be rather handy to make my PSP playable online wherever I happen to be sitting, like work for example....
Does anyone know of a way to do this? Internet connect allows me to connect via USB or Bluetooth, but not WiFi, so if there's a workaround or a magical piece of software that will allow this to happen, I'd love to hear about it.
Cheers team
This would be cool.. will also look now for something like this..
from my looking into the same idea it can't be done under windows mobile due to the MS TCP/IP stack.
maybe if linux for the Hermes gets serious then it will work but probably only multi client peer to peer mode rather than ap mode.
please pove me wrong as I think it is a killer app idea for 3G devices like the hermes.
Damn. How does the MS TCP/IP stack prevent it from doing that? I'm not questioning what you say, just wondering what the mechanics are that stop it? I'm realistic about what it could do, in that I'd only be able to connect one device at a time as opposed to it operating as a fully fledged router. I'm surprised this kind of functionality has been overlooked by Microsoft, as I'm sure other people who use WM devices would look for this kind of functionality also, not just people slacking off at work with a PSP or DS
The XDA gurus who figured out the VoIP over 3G or WiFi may have a deeper insight to this.

Yes. It's possible to do this:
Internet<->RAN(3G)<->Bluetooth<->Laptop,etc
But I think the original poster is asking whether this is possible:
Internet<->RAN(3G)<->Wi-Fi<->Laptop, etc
..or at least that's what I would like to be able to do...
Of course
It's possible. So think about an ad-hoc network. PC-PC and internet sharing gets you out to the web.
Same kind of scenario could apply, but the device doesn't necessarily need to be able to complete the routes. The bluetooth PAN network already does this, and if you have 3G, WiFi isn't usually going to be connected to a network that's much faster.
Only problem the family will be upset when you leave the house, if that's a factor for your setup.
The Internet Sharing feature could be leveraged to provide this functionality, but USB and BT are the only ways to connect with the stock application. That would be an excellent basis for this new application, though.

this has been poss for a long time by using a PC to do the DHCP and roting to share a WAN connection from the phone. The question (at least how I read it) is asking about the phone routing and sharing its WAN connection over wifi to one or more clients that may not even be PCs (game devices etc)
can't be done IMHO
Hey guys,
I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with no phone coverage, a satellite internet link, a laptop without WiFi (ethernet to sat modem), no WiFi routers, and my HTC Desire, and having just flashed my Desire with some sweet, sweet Modaco goodness, I wanted to start reinstalling everything
So, as the only way I could get any sort of link between my Desire and my laptop is via USB, I figured I'd give it a crack. Situation:
- Phone in USB tether mode
- Laptop tethered to phone via USB
- HTC USB tether interface bridged to local area connection on laptop
- Laptop setup as PPTP VPN server (standard WinXP "Incoming connection")
- VPN established from phone back to laptop
End state: I can browse the internet, on the phone, via the laptop, via the satellite
However, this only works through the browser. All other software on the phone is convinced it has no data connection (which by all reports, it doesn't. no GPRS, no 3G, no WiFi), and as such, things like Marketplace, Mail, basically all apps except for the browser don't work.
I'm not after a solution or anything, I'm going back to civilization tomorrow, I just thought you guys might wanna know. I know there have been a few threads of people attempting to achieve this.

Just without having a detailed look into it.
You have to make sure you route absolutely everything throw your VPN connection.
At the moment it looks like you only route port 80 for HTTP.
Android market uses 5228 if my very quick google search is correct.
Never used VPN on Android but the problem you desribed is well known for "wrong" VPN settings.
Hope that helped a bit.
First of all, I would like to thank all the developers on the site for some outstanding work. I have been trying out some of the great ROM's found here and I would just like to thank all you guys for all the hard work put into your Rom's. I am really appreciative of all the great information found here.
I have an issue I have been working on for a bit, and I was wondering if I can get some of you to comment or try to figure this one out.
At my office, we have a RV-120w Cisco firewall/router. We have a small office, and this unit has worked great in securing my server, but allowing some of my Project Manager's to remote in via IPsec. The remote VPN works great from desktop to router. We connect to the router, and then RD to the workstation.
The issue I have, is I cannot get an Android device to connect via IPsec. I can see the unit talking to the router (from the log), but the connection times out stating "Could not find a configuration".
I have tried the Cisco boards and have gotten no where. If any of you have an idea I could try, I would greatly appreacite it.
Hey,
are you making sure everything is registered right on both sides? & it might be a rom glitch to. Try flashing a differnt rom making sure you have all the right info and try again. and If that doesnt do it Idk man Im sorry :/
Stevo
L2PT only with IPsec is supported.
So you should be running IPsec and L2PT with the VPN. Probably should look into the OpenVPN installers for the android phones (i can help with that).
But my experience is that our android phones are finicky with the protocols you use.
Cisco again........
I regualrly visit forums and blogs for some VPN news, what i see the most are people having issues with vpn settings in general and specially cisco, cisco vpn routers have been rocket science to learn and use efficiently,
Is there any way for the fire TV to connect to it? My university uses it, and I was wondering if I could connect, but the access point is not showing up
Can´t look now because I´m not at home but wasn´t there a setting for a manual AP setup where you could enter the SSID by yourself?
Some organizations may keep a second network available for legacy devices like printers, XBoxes, and older machines. You can check with your university's tech support to see how you can add your device to the list of allowed access for that network.
This isn't a guarantee that this network exists for you, but most enterprise and even some residential-grade equipment have this capability.
Otherwise, you might be able to find a router or range extender that can understand and connect to WPA2-Enterprise to work around this. In a pinch, an old laptop with two wifi cards or a wifi Ethernet port should suffice.
Or you may want to scrap wifi and run an Ethernet cable to your dorm's jack or personal switch.

Thanks the responses, but neither of them works well for me. there is a secondary unsecured wifi network, but it is just too slow to use, especially for streaming videos. I sideloaded a wifi APK onto it, and the networks DO show up, but there is no way to enter the login information (you need both a username and password.) Anyone know of an app that can do that?
