Windows 7 wont let me tether correctly. I cannot get an IP - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

UPDATE: I can tether with the built in Froyo tether function on a macbook pro. Which means the problem is with Windows 7!
EDIT: I realize that my wording may be confusing. well ive tried PDANet and that works, so i can only assume other third party ones will also work.
My problem is that Froyo has this built in, but i cannot get THAT to work.
Ive tried using OpenDesire (many, many different revisions) and Oxygen. Both by AdamG, but i doubt it makes a difference.
I go into the wireless setting and enable USB tehtering. I disconnect my wireless, plug it into my computer, and get no IP so i cannot browse anything.
I go into the wireless setting and enable wireless tehtering. I disconnect my wireless, connect to the newly discovered AP and get no IP so i cannot browse anything.
Am i missing a step

2 different carries too. Ive tried Rogers and ive tried Telus. No change.

When I was using oxygen I just plugged it in, enabled usb tethering and I got connection.

So whta could it be?
hardware problem?
Radio issue?
Am i just doing it wrong?
EDIT: I just plugged it into my desktop, and it didnt work. They're both running windows 7 if it matters..
EDIT2: the programs for tethering in 2.1 and below worked for me when i was on 2.1..
EDIT3: Im posting this while using PDANet...

Alright the problem is with windows 7. My friend used his MBP to tether wirelessly to my phone. No issues

bump
anyone know how to fix it?

bump again...

Not sure if it helps but have you tried installing HTC Sync? I remember vaguely that it is needed for USB tethering for windows.

[Q] No Internet access using wireless tether....

Hi,
I had this working earlier and all of a sudden it has stopped. I am able to connect to my Evo but once connected, I am not given access to the Internet. I have no clue why. Once I go back to my home wireless network, the Internet works just fine.
I am using the newest version of the wireless tether software and am using Fresh-evo-3.2.0.0. I am also using Widows 7 x64. It is set up as my home network to allow access as well. Cannot figure out what is going on. Seems like something is blocking it.
Will be back online in the am to check for replies and to answer any questions if need be so please do not think I am ignoring anyone that may reply to this tonight.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Guess we have no redeye's on this site, lol.
Anyways, I am up and ready to accept any help that can be given on this subject
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem when I first flashed Fresh 3.2. I actually had to uninstall the pre8 wireless tether, and install pre7 wireless tether and it worked just fine.
I have tried pre7, pre8 and pre9 and none of them are giving me Net access. I can connect to all 3 with my laptop but that is as far as it goes. I have rebooted the phone after each uninstall as well. Still stumped...
Thanks for your reply!
Okay, I just tried this on another computer of mine and same thing...in the Network and Sharing Center it shows access type as having No Internet Access yet it is a private network and the computer is connected.
Please help?

[Q] Wifi and USB Tethering issue on Stock 2.2

I have just bought a brand new HTC Desire, I have rooted the phone using the tool on unrevoked dot com
I am able to browse internet on the phone okay, but the built in Wifi tethering doesn't seem to work.
Both of my laptop and ipod touch can connect to it, but no data is transferring through.
The built in USB tethering has the same issue as well, I have installed the latest of HTC Sync on both Win7 and XP. But then again no data is transferring to my laptop and desktop.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I have 2 other Android 2.2 phones (non-HTC), and both of the funcitons work okay. So I think there is something wrong on my HTC Desire.
** I don't think the phone is faulty, if I use the "Wireless Tether for Root Users" app, I am able to use my phone as a hotspot okay. ** It it annoying that the built in functions on Andriod 2.2 doesn't work.

[Q] [CM7] USB Tether not working

So quick set up of my situation
AMOLED DInc
CM7 Protekk build 12
Chad's 3/6/11 Kernel
.7.28 Radio
CWM 3.0.0.8
Windows 7 Professional
So this has been an issue since around official nightly #38
My laptop does not like to consistently hold wifi in certain campus building so I rely on my phone occasionally. However, I also don't always have the best service in these brick buildings. I have tried to use USB tether but to no avail. This is what happens:
Connect USB cable to Dinc
USB storage screen pops up, I tap home to go back to launcherpro
Go to settings
Wireless and Networks->USB and wifi hotspot
Tap to enable USB tethering
It will then flicker the status below the USB tethering option, then uncheck the box and I get the USB mass storage screen again. I used the HTC installer to install the RNDIS drivers.
Can anyone see an issue with my set up? I think Chad left in USB tethering but I could be wrong.
From what ive gathered it just doesnt work for windows 7. Download easy tether and that works fine.
I'm not sure this is related to Windows 7. If it is, correct me, but I don't think so. I've tried both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7.
I'm having the same issue. Wifi tether works fine, but I want USB tether so I don't kill my battery all the time. I have the same issues as original poster.
Yep having same problem and i have easy tether but it has a 300ms lag compared to wireless tethering that has 103ms and when i used to do wired tethering when i had xp it would be even better like 89ms and i would share it with my ps3 and it would be pretty good for online since i have sattalite internet here and thats usually 1700ms which is just terrible... yep. i want to get rid of 20ms to get the optimal online experience O.O, ive tried everything active sync(incompatible) htc sync, windows mobile center, none of those gave me the generic rndis driver >.< im about ready to just go get the alpha of Ubuntu and just do it on there.
not the 10.10 Ubuntu cause it doesn't support my graphics card (atleast not an open source version which is all i use.) sorry im off topic...
So any more ideas on how to get the drivers? My friend uses Ubuntu and the native rndis tethering is faster than easy tether when I use his.

man!!! i have the same issue the only usb tethering that actually work for me was the one with htc sence :/

USB tether, cyanogenmod 7

I apologize if this topic has been brought up before; I do use wireless tethering but the lag is irritating, and when I tether I generally connect my phone to my laptop to avoid draining the battery anyway. So it would just make sense to be able to use USB tether. Yes I have tried installing the VZ access manager driver (not VZAM itself) but no new devices appear, nor do any RNDIS connections appear.
Anyone been able to get it working? How?
Another edit: PDANet or any other third party app is NOT a fix...it's a workaround and unacceptable for me at that.
I was seconds from posting this same question.
i have CM7 RC4 and i wanted to to tether to windows 7, but i have no success.
ive tried pdanet, but i get messages from some longa *ss number everytime my laptop disconnects. its annoying lol.
Bump for justice -_-

[Q] Confirm Ad-hoc support?

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.
