Hello everyone!
I have been trying to find a way to connect my phone to a AdHoc network I created with my Windows Vista laptop, but the phone doesn't seem to fidn the network. I checked for this problem in several threads, but I cannot seem to find an answer for Wildfire. Most answers are for HTC Desire and/or HTC Hero. Has someone found a way to connect the phone to a AdHoc network, without compromising the conectivity to routers or other open networks?
Found the solution:
1. I flashed the nFinity Kernel mc4
2. I flashed this wpa_supplicant patch
3. I created an AdHoc network on my Vista laptop
[ATTENTION: Do NOT use WPA.. Only WEP encryption]
And then my phone was able to share the laptop's internet connection.
Google for "mhotspot.exe".
Share your pc internet to any mobile via WiFi. Rooting is not necessary.

google for "connectify"
Connectify is an easy to use software router for laptops and smart phones. With Connectify, users can wirelessly share any Internet connection: a cable modem, a cellular card, or even another Wi-Fi network. Other Wi-Fi enabled devices can see and join your Connectify hotspot just like any other Wi-Fi access point and are kept safe and secure by password-protected WPA2 Encryption.
Working fine with me
Does this "mhotspot" enables ad hoc or is it silimar to connectify? Cos i use wireless broadband (hspa) modem and both connectify and virtual wifi router does not work with it. Any way to use ad-hoc it self?

Unfortunatelly, I tried Connectify, but it is not an option for my Windows Vista laptop! It is only compatible with Windows 7. Although there is no obvious reason for my staying on Windows Vista, upgrading is not an option right now. Thusly, I'm in search of some solytion other than Conectify.

MHotSpot doesn't seem to work either! Although I can find the network with other wifi devices, the Wildfire doesn't seem to find it in the list of wifi networks...
Connectify is a crappy software, as it completely stops your internet connection. I had to uninstall it to make it work again ( i use fastcable DIAL-up connection )
But you can do it with the CMD.
Open an elevated command prompt (Type “CMD.EXE” in the start menu search bar, then right click the cmd.exe link and select “Run as Administrator”).
In the command window, type: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNet key=MyPassword
Replace “MyNet” with the name you want to use for the wireless network and replace “MyPassword” with your chosen password for accessing it)
Press Enter.
Now type: netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Press Enter.
Open Control Panel and go to Network and Sharing Center.
Click Change Adapter Settings.
Right click your Internet connection and select Properties.
Click the Sharing tab.
Check the box that says “Allow other network users to connect.”
Choose your virtual wi-fi adapter and click OK.
If you want to delete the new created connection type in cmd: netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

I just tried it, but it keeps telling me that there is no command set hostednetwork. And I did everything like you advised me: Run as administrator, etc etc. On what OS did that work for you... I run Windows Vista
Windows 7 but i see no reason for it not to work on vista as well.

well Im using connectify me since it is launched and now using a beta version of itAnd Im telling u it works fine and it has more function that u cant immagine.

The only commands available on my netsh wlan are these:
set file
set machine
set mode
set autoconfig
set blockednetworks
set createalluserprofile
set profileorder
set profileparameter
set tracing
So I suppose it has something to do along with the fact that connectify is only available for Windows 7. Apparently creating a virtual host is not an option for Windows Vista.
So is there a way, by changing something on the phone, to make it identify my adhoc network?
I also tried with add-hoc connection and it didn't work. But what i forgot to do was to share the internet with the new created connection aka share the connection that already has internet to the one created with the ad-hoc method.
Network and Sharing Center> Adapter Settings> Chose your connection that has internet>Properties>Sharing> Allow other network user...>From the List choose the connection created via ad-hoc ( should be Wireless COnnection 2 )
I can't say more as I never used Vista much.

But still this means that your phone is capable of regognizing adhoc networks. My phone doesn't seem to "see" the network. It doesn't appear in the list of available networks, in the wifi section, after I scan for networks.
Does it appear in your list?

I am unable to connect w/ a 3G connection...if I use WiFi I can make a remote desktop connection from my TyTn to my company server, but if I am on 3G I cannot connect. What am I missing?

make sure the connection is active before attempting to connect... so kick up internet explorer or something that initiates the connection...
I have a connection, I can see it go active then I get an error.
I tried as you suggested, the error just comes up immediatly.
ERROR:
Cannot Connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specific Computer name does not exist
2. A network error occurred while establishing the connection.
Works fine when using WiFi or when connected to PC via USB...wont connect while on 3G

mmm...i think i know your problem...
Click Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks... now what connection is specified in the 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using'
that should be your 'GPRS Connection' you are using to connect to your IP WAN
thanks, I had that set wrong...but still cant connect.
my 3G is setup as ISP (Cingular)...I called it "ISP"
The advanced setting had a preset called "My ISP", so I re-setup my connection and called it "My ISP" and selected it in "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:"
still wont connect.

did you use Custel's cabs to install the Cingular Settings??
no, those always caused problems as I am using ISP not MediaNet.
btw- should have mentioned I am now using Black IV Shadow and Radio 1.43.00
Possible reason: your networkprovider has blocked the port used by remote desktop.
We had to change the gprs connection point/address when we wanted to use vpn to connect to our corporate network.
Try to get hold of at telnet application for your device and connect to port 3389 on you remote desktop server.

I had the same problem till I created two VPN connections. One for internal use (WiFi) and one for extenal use (3G).
The internal one uses the internal IP address of the VPN server and the external one uses the external IP address.
You have to sleect which connection you want to use before starting the connection depending on whether u r using WiFi or 3G.
Hope that makes sense. It works 4 me.
GOT IT!!! Thanks

esseff, pardon my noobness but when you speak of "VPN server" is that referring to the desktop I am trying to remote connect to?
I have an ATT 8525 w/Black Satin Normal WM6 on the ATT network using MediaNet as my GPRS.
I can remote in from almost any open network via my laptop. Could it be that ATT blocks 3389? If so can I alter the port RDM uses to setup a connection?
are you able to remote connect PC to PC? (from outside of your current LAN)
if not ... its not your phone its your firewall... try disabling your firewall w/in your pc os and router.
would explain why you can connect using wifi if its part of your router and its set up as a "home network".
I'd bet if you googled this you'd find EVERYTHING you need to know.
Yes, I can connect just fine PC to PC outside the LAN. I have my custom listen port opened as required. The issue is definitely with the 8525 connection settings or the ATT service. I have trolled google pretty extensively, but have been unsuccessful in finding some quality info.
Well, people , was trying to Share my laptops Broadband connection with my sgs running MIUI 1.7.8 but couldnt get to to work. The phone just used to get stuck at "Obtaining ip address". Using Connectify didnt help me, so i had to manually configure the connections.
Here is a complete tutorial for connecting to the adhoc network to get it working.
Setting up the connection:
1) Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
2) Go to Change Adapter Settings
3) Find the adapter for the default internet connection (it was a PPPOE in my case, it is the connection u use to connect to the internet.)
4) Right click on that -> Cancel as Default Connection
4) Right click -> Properties -> Sharing tab
5) Uncheck "Allow other network users to connect ..." if it is not
6) Right-Click the Correct Wireless Network Connection > Properties > "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" in Windows Vista / Only "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" in Windows 2000 and XP > Properties
7) Choose "Use the following IP address:" and enter the following
IP address : 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Setting Up The Network :
1) Open Network and Sharing Center.
2) Under Change your networking settings, click Set up a new connection or network.
3) Select Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network
4) Enter your Network name, and enter a Security key if wanted (Use WEP over here, WPA doesnt seem to work.)
5) Check the box for Save this network and click Turn on Internet connection sharing on next page.
Configuring the Phone :
1) Now on the android, go to Settings -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Advanced.
2) In IP settings, turn on use static IP.
3) Give The settings as follows :
IP address : 192.168.0.2
Gateway : 192.168.0.1
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
DNS 1 : 192.168.0.1
4) Now turn of Use Static IP. Dont worry, the settings will remain as they are.
5) Now Go back and connect to the adhoc network you created above, give the password and it will try to connect to it.
6)At this point, you will see Obtaining IP address, now go into advanced again and enable use static ip. Voila! you are connected to the network.
Well, if you're using Windows 7, there is no need for ad-hoc networks
Windows 7 has a built-in support for wireless hotspots, but unfortunatly Microsoft didn't implement a control panel for that.
There is a freeware called connectify, it will turn your Windows7 Computer with a wireless card into a real hot spot, no ad hoc needed:
http://www.connectify.me/
I couldnt get connectify to work either. But I found a much better (lightweight and simple) program which worked for me called "virtual router manager". Works a charm every time

Connectify didnt help, and AP mode or adhoc mode is based upon the Wireless network harware you have and not the Operating System...

Not all network cards are supported by virtual router manager.. Mine was not supported.. whereas the above method works for all wifi cards regardless of model...
well, observed thks thing... for connecting to wifi everytime we need to turn of use static ip, then turn on wifi and wait for obtaing ip address message and after it is shown, go to advanced and switch on us sttic ip... this does the trick...
Connectify just keeps giving my system a damn BSOD...

Actually wireless AP mode was implemented in Windows 7 and therefore programs like connectify won't work on Vista or Xp.
Adhoc has been supported for much longer, but it is a completely different thing than wireless AP mode.
If you are running Windows 7, you should be able to use wireless AP mode. If programs like connectify somehow fail, you can always try enabling it manually.
If everything fails, upgrade your hardware.

Ad-hoc networking
Ok, noob warning! Forgive me if this ain't the right place for this.
I'd like to set up an ad-hoc network between my HTC One S and my Macbook Pro. I have enabled the network on the Mac, but the phone does not seem to see it. Any chance of that happening without rooting? I'm too much of a noob to try that.
The purpose is to use my phone to browse my computer when a wifi network is unavailable. I'm not trying to tether for data.
Thanks!
good one
That's nice but the problem is that my galaxy young cannot detect the connection I've made in my laptop so what can I do now ??

nd i am a noob to root....**
sgy can't connect to adhoc networks.
:s
Thanks.
In some cases ISPs have mac address filtering which could lead to connecting, but not being able to dl/up. Worse part is if you're not with a router but for example a dongle, they might not be able to detect the address or atleast those are the lies my ISP has been telling me.

Any else update to Windows 8.1 yet? I did on Thursday and just tried using Wi-Fi tether from my HTC One to this computer for the first time since updating and the computer doesn't see the SSID. It also won't connect if I try setting up a manual connection.
All of my other computers see the hot spot fine- it's just the Win 8.1 that is not seeing it
I have tried a few wifi tether clients and all are behaving the same.
In case it matters, I am running stock with root access.
Anyone else on 8.1 with any different experience?
I'm having this problem... I can't believe there aren't more responses here
Did it start for you after upgrading to 8.1 also ?

Had you connected before the 8.1 update?
If so, completely delete all information about that connection and try connecting like it's a new connection.
If that doesn't get it-
What settings are you using on the tethering?
WPA/WPA2/None for security?
If you're using "None" Windows has gotten cranky since Win7 SP1 about open networks.
If you're using WPA or WPA2, try switching it.
If all else fails, format and install Win7 and get your start menu back =)
Here is a fix that will work until MSFT hopefully fixes in SP1

It turns out that Windows 8.1 doesn't show ad-hoc networks and it's by design. Not sure what on earth made them add this change.
Anyway, after a lot of digging, I was finally able to force it to connect. I compiled a small howto.
Note, this is NOT about how to create an ad-hoc network to share your Internet connection with another device! It's about how to connect your Windows 8.1 PC to an existing ad-hoc network created on another device.
How to connect to an ad-hoc WiFi network in Windows 8.1.
Because the wireless network picker in Windows 8.1 doesn't show ad-hoc networks, connecting must be done by hand.
To see all networks in range, including ad-hoc, run this command in command shell (cmd.exe):
> netsh wlan show networks
SETUP
This must be done once per network.
* go to "Network and Sharing Center"
* click "Set up a new connection or network"
* double click "Manually connect to a wireless network"
* enter the SSID of the ad-hoc network (as shown by "netsh wlan show networks") into the "Network name" field
* configure security settings accordingly
* uncheck "Start this connection automatically" (important)
* click "Next", then "Close"
Run this command (important):
> netsh wlan set profileparameter <ssid> connectiontype=ibss
Replace <ssid> with the SSID of your network.
CONNECT
After setting up, run this command whenever you want to connect:
> netsh wlan connect <ssid>
Replace <ssid> with the SSID of your network.
Hovering over WiFi icon in system tray will show the name of the network that you are currently connected to, even if it's an ad-hoc network (the network picker will not show it if it's ad-hoc). The name is also visible in "Network and Sharing Center" window.
DISCONNECT
To disconnect from the ad-hoc network: connect to a different network, turn off wifi, or run this command:
> netsh wlan disconnect
CLEANUP
To remove the network profile from Windows, run this command:
> netsh wlan delete profile <ssid>
Replace <ssid> with the SSID of your network.
Are you using an app for WiFi Tether or are you using the built-in stock WiFi tether function? I use Android-WiFi-Tether because I'm rooted and I've never had this problem. Even on a Windows 8.1 computer.
I'm rooted too, and have tried every app known to man. It seems that others on win8.1 have trouble getting their computer to see an WiFi hotspots and ad-hoc networks, so I think it's a problem on the comput side (all of my non 8.1 computers see the hotspot fine).
But that's really interesting that you aren't having this issue. Which ROM are you using?
