Hi,
I'm a student of Politecnico of Milan (Italy) and his wifi network is hidden, so with my HTC 7 Mozart with WP7 i can't connect.
is there a way to connect WP7 with hidden wifi network?
Or is there any app that allows to connect WP7 with hidden wifi network?
Thanks
Unless ya talk to your IT department so they can unhide it, there is no way to connect.

I just purchased a MDA III and would like to use IE through the WiFI, but the option is not available on the connection list. Is this possible? If so how do you do it? I am able to connect to the wireless network.
Thanks,
Just launch the wifi and start surffing....of course you have to get ip from the wifi network first.
This may help!

Hi Everyone,
I know there are already a lot of posts out there on this but I have tried them all to no avail. I have an unlocked HTC S620 (not Dash) upgraded to WM6 that I use with AT&T. I have the Smartphone Connect Unlimited plan and would like to tether it to my Vista Business laptop. I am able to connect it via bluetooth and the network center recognizes an established connection, but it says it's 'Local Only' and has not access to the internet. Same thing happens when I tether via USB. I have already tried completely disabling the firewall and that does not help either. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,
J.
I'm assuming you're using Windows Mobile Device Center? If so, under
Open Windows Mobile Device Center
Goto Mobile Device Settings --> Connection Settings
Allow Data Connections on Device when connected to PC
I checked and the option is already checked. The connection occurs and it does show that I am connected to a network but it just says that it's only a local connection, not internet.
Figured out what my problem was. I just had to change the naming convention of my connection on the phone.
Has anyone else tried to connect via WiFi to another phone over WiFi shared internet successfully?
I got my HTC HD7 WP7 today for development, so no plan. I was upset to find out the inability to connect to the hidden WiFi at my work is a known/"by design" issue; however, I quickly went to my fallback plan of using my HTC TP2's (Touch Pro 2) WiFi Internet Sharing/Tethering (CM Internet Sharing). However, this did not detect either! This is not a hidden network, and uses WEP protection. The WP7 phone did successfully find and connect to other networks, so it's not the phone.
Has anyone else tried this or can anyone else confirm this? This phone would be a whole lot more useful to me if I could have a connection on-the-go, as I planned!
Thank you!
I am posting without a lot of technical expertise/knowledge, however if WP7 is at all similar to the Operating System that the Zune HD has (I believe it is quite alike), and the TP2 is at all similar to the HTC HD2, then I guess I might have an answer.
The HTC HD2 creates a Wifi Network, which the Zune HD cannot see. The reason is the network is created as a "computer to computer" network on Windows Mobile 6, and for some reason the Zune HD cannot see Computer to Computer networks. You have a way of knowing wether your TP2 is doing the same as my HD2, by turning on the wireless connection sharing on the TP2, and then using your laptop or notebook PC, and looking at the available wireless networks and their properties. If you are using Vista or Windows 7, Computer to Computer networks have an icon right next to them showing two small computer monitors.
Let me know what you find.
Great point! You are correct, and that explains it and makes sense. I guess if WP7 doesn't even support "hidden" networks yet, there's very slim hope for computer-to-computer networks in the near future. Disappointing.
i have a cdma htc desire from cell south, it is rooted with enrevoked3, i was attempting to use the wireless tether app from the market but when the computer connects it has limited conectivity and no internet...when using the internet share function from htc it disables my network on phone... does anyone know a way to share wireless network, via bluetooth, wireless or usb???
so no one knows how to share network on this phone?
You used the built in settings in wireless and networks?
Hello,
I want to use portable Wi-Fi hotspot on my phone to connect to my laptop in places where public wi-fi is not available, or to connect to two computers to each other. And it seems to be working.
But I have a problem. I do not want to use mobile network to access Internet for those computers. I want only to exchange data between phone and computer, or between computers themselves.
But every time I switch on hotspot, 3G connection switches on automatically, even if it is switched off on purpose. I know this is intended use of hotspot, but I have a question:
Is there a way to prevent phone switching 3G network on in wi-fi hotspot mode, or just preventing data traffic over 3G?
Or I am missing the point completely?
The application is not intended for such usage; all it does is route traffic between connected wlan-clients and the carrier's apn. The phone itself has the ip-address 192.168.1.1 during this setup, but it is not listening on any ports that would be useful for your setup (ie 'cifs/samba').

I do not know if I do understand you but here are the facts:
I connect two dell laptops to portable wi-fi hotspot on my wildfire s:
one is : 192.168.1.135
other : 192.168.1.185
I can ping one from another. If I share a folder in one (.135) and go to others(.185) "Search for computers or people" I see all files in shared folder and can do all the usual operations over them (edit, move...)
Also if I install Remote Web Desktop from Market on my phone I can access phone through web interface.
In a word, I can do all things as on "normal" wi-fi network ( and I promise it is the only network around here ) except all the time I have 3G switched on. And I do not want to do that because I see my network data traffic going up.
So, as I see things, my only problem is unwanted 3G traffic.
Help?
Ah, but you did not mention that you had installed a seperate application to open up a port for the webinterface.
This however does not change the intended usage for the mobile wifi hotspot application!
hey...you can try this:
1. go to your mobile network settings
2. create a new APN, a dummy one
3. set the new APN as default
4. launch your wifihotspot
I did not test it with 2 pcs but, when u launch wifihotspot, 3g no longer comes on and my pc still connected to the wireless network without any problems.
Let us know your results
Cheers,
Hey,
I ran more test on this issue. The previous posted solution works like a charm.
I was able to use the wifihotspot as a wireless access point:
1. 2 or more PCs can communicate with each other (browse folders)
2. If one of the PCs has internet access, it shares to the rest of the PCs
3. If one of the PCs has an ethernet connection to a server, all other PCs also get connection to the server
For 3. to work, you will need to brigde the local area connection with the wireless connection on the PC that has cabled ethernet connection. Also browsing folders will work only if you use \\server ip (\\servername does not work).
I will try getting DNS access via the hotspot later.
Hope this helps
