WMWifiRouter

Being out of town in a hotel that has a flickering connection with a wireless (more spiritless than wireless....) I thought of giving my installed WMWifiRouter a try. I had it installed some time in January and never used it. Despite the successful connection between the Kaiser and the network, the laptop recognized the WMWifiRouter only twice, for very short time, and it never connected. I searched for instructions in the forum and the only available stated that WMWifiRouter 8 had everything packaged in the cab, no extra hacking needed. It also all referred to a website which apparently has been taken down. Has anybody made it work successfully? Are there any changes that need to be done to the phone other than installing and running the WMWifiRouter? Does the Internet Sharing Kaiser program need to be specially configured? Finally, does the Laptop need to be set up in any special way?
Thanks for any help!

you need to make an adhoc wifi connection between your laptop and phone before running the app...

At some point you had made an adhoc connection to your phone, if it was there previously then you didnt have to do that first step. But if you never set up an adhoc connection to the other device then its necessary to do so before running the app.

How do you make an ad hoc Wifi connection between the phone and the laptop? I am not sure I understand what that means.Could you please explain in simple steps?

I could be wrong. But I believed the latest WmWifirouter package will handle everything on the PDA side include the adhoc SSID. Otherwise:
1. Start > Settings > Connections > "Wi-fi" > "Add New ..."
2. "wifirouter" for Netowork Name, "Connects to:" = "The Internet", Check "This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection"
3. In Wmwifirouter, make sure to check "Use DHCP Allocator" so that Kaiser will acted as a DHCP server and assign IP to yr laptop, click "connect"
4. From yr laptop, search for "wifirouter" as SSID and connect to it.

The final version of the program does not allow for DHCP allocations etc., seems to do it all by itself. The ironic thing is that it connected somehow, after about 10 attempts, and I am usiing it to write this one.
Thanks for all your help and patience!

Thanks, Bren

The files had to be removed at the authors request. Keep checking his site for details!

Web-Based Authentication - Help Plz

I took my G1 to school today and tried to connect to the WiFi there. It is an open network, but it requires you to login using your school account via a website. Usually, when I connect with my laptop and open my browser, I get automatically redirected to the login page.
With my G1, the browser can't load a single page. It says connected to the network, but I have no actual internet access, and can't get to that login page.
Any idea how I can get around this?
Thanks

I have the same issue at my work. I have a captive portal that does not seem to redirect properly on the G1. Other phones seem to like it just fine. My work around is to add my mac to the auth bypass, but this only works because I am the actual admin for the wireless network.

try finding the address your laptop connects to and bookmarking it on the G1 and see if it lets you pull it up that way.

As I am pretty certain entering the redirect URL won't work (though I am trying it tonight) is there ANYTHING else anyone can think of changing or looking at? I had the same issue on my old Nokia N80, but only recently.

As predicted, the URL method did not work. Tried many variations and still no luck. Any further thought on this, or if the G1 will ever support Enterprise authentication?

Reverse-Tethering on a Vogue with Android (Share Windows PC's Internet with phone)

I have done the NAND install method on my Vogue with Myn's Warm Donut RLS3 from 2010-02-20. Since I do not have a data plan, and have the XV6900, which comes without WiFi, I cannot just connect to a local network to get internet access, so how do I get access over the USB cable or via Bluetooth? This would basically be like "Reverse-tethering", that you can do in Windows via ActiveSync (when you are hooked up you can use the desktop PC's internet connection)
So, how do we do this now on Android?
Thanks,
-C

Short version: we don't. Do you want details?

Well, without looking very hard... I know this is possible, since you can do almost anything on Linux. Here's a brief description of how this is done, although it may need some modification for our builds:

We certainly could if it was supported in our kernel, but our only USB drivers are adb and mass storage. I believe dzo and mssmison are working on some other. cdc, ethernet, rndis, etc. aren't currently supported.

Hmm bummer. Most people with cell service are STILL not paying for data plans, and only about 50% of people with smartphones have data plans yet. Heck...I got a data plan and then got rid of it after 6 months...that alone was $180 worth that was totally wasted for what...the convenience of checking email on my lunch break....yeah that's worth it. At least ATT is only $10 a month now if you are on a shared plan with your family for unlimited data. To bad I an on VZW, lol...
So anyway, it seems like this would almost be a must. I would gladly pay a developer here $50 if he came up with a widget to do it. He'd make a lot more than that on the market too if he developed that.

'Real' android phones can do it, our kernel can't. Plus, you can't download from market or use youtube, etc, over bluetooth tethering (I've tried) or via usb from what I've read. Only the cellular data connection and wifi are considered 'valid' by Android. So the dev would have to fix that, too, to make it worthwhile.

I would be happy just to have WiFi, but the XV6900 (Verizon Touch) doesnt even have WiFi at all. I am considering getting the Nexus when it comes to Verizon in a few months.

I want the Bluetooth PAN on Android!
It does not make any sense that Google would know I'm connecting via Bluetooth PAN vs. WiFi to my PC since this occurs behind my Router??? The IP is set at the Router level, my phone should not be visible.
edit... misread post above.
I guess Android itself would know, but that seems odd. But Odd rules sometimes.

Any updates on possibilities yet ??? or there is still no way to use internet on Vogue Andriod without having data plan ?

Not yet... the reasons posted above are still true.

Are there any plans to add this feature to future ROMS? The only reason I haven't switched to android from windows mobile is because of this.

I don't think so. It's a kernel thing, not a rom thing, and it requires a lot of driver work. But even if it did work, android wouldn't recognize it as a valid connection.

rfcomm + pppd to tether both ways?
I am new to android, but I have networking experience with Linux. I am running Myn's latest Warm Donut on my Sprint Touch. And it seems that hciconfig/hcitool are working to associate the phone with another bluetooth interface. Also, rfcomm seems to be working. And lastly, pppd is installed and (indeed) necessary for the 3g/edge connection as evidenced by the ppp0 in ifconfig. Also, reviewing dmesg, I see L2CAP and BNEP are compiled into the kernel. And pand is also compiled and running. I am not familiar with these, but it seems to offer another route for maybe getting a bluetooth IP link established.
So, my question is simply this. Can we not use the hci commands to associate the phone to another bluetooth adapter on, say, a networked Linux system? Then use rfcomm to build a bluetooth serial connection between the two systems, and finally establish a ppp interface on each end of that serial link? Once that is done, the two systems will share a point-to-point IP link over BT over which they can communicate. Then it is simply a matter of establishing gateways, proxies, iptables NAT, DNS, and routes to make either forwarded or reversed tethered connections. I am reasonably confident I can do that. With a Class 1 bluetooth interface on the Linux server side, the range could be extended for reverse tethering...perhaps making it useful as a moderate range wifi replacement. Other webpages discuss similar approaches using bluetooth rfcomm/pppd. It might require experimentation to find reasonable baud rates for the serial link, etc., but nothing seems obviously impossible. And bluetooth can provide a 1 Mbps+ speeds...again, not great, but better than Edge or dodgy EVDO.
Likewise, we may be able to build a proper PAN connection. I am not familiar with pand and bnep interfaces, but I could probably figure it out.
As I said, I am new to Android, and I am just starting to test this on my phone. Is there something that I am missing with regard to existing hci/rfcomm/pand functionality? Dmesg reports all of these compiled in and hcitool scan seems to do something...it blinks the blue light and find my laptop. I guess I am just asking if someone can shoot holes in my idea before I waste too much time pursuing it.
Thanks.

That's all correct, and I've done it before. But the issue is that Android only acknowledges TWO kinds of data connections: cellular and wifi. When I setup a pan and iptable'd my way to the internet, I was able to get google maps, but not market. I haven't tried Opera but the android browser didn't work. Etc., etc. So I think the usefulness of pan is limited. The real challenge here is for someone to dig through the source and find out how to ADD bt and USB as 'valid' data interfaces. I've never looked into that.

Cellular connection is ppp0. Have you tried running pppd over rfcomm? Or assign an identical IP address to the pan/pppd interface and set it's metric a notch lower so it is preferred over the ppp0 one? Also, will Android route over a VPN? Setup pan and VPN over it. VPN seems to "own" Internet traffic when it is configured according to this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4205
Also, I've seen posts indicating that the default browser can be configured to use a proxy.
Just ideas and I'd like to know what you've tried so I don't waste my time. Thanks for your input.

Nope, didn't try any fancy-pants stuff. When I did all this, I was a total n00b to linux (only a partial n00b now) and it didn't take too long, so I say - give it a try! That's the spirit around here.

Great. That is encouraging. The link that I edited into my previous post seems to indicate that ALL traffic gets routed over the VPN when it is established. That would fix any security concerns I'd have about using a high-powered BT adapter. I think I will give it a spin.

USB Ethernet
In my kernel hacking trying to get Debian to run, I managed to enable USB Ethernet (the function driver; USB gadget crashes the phone) working, and I've been using it to SSH into my phone. I've used it to apt-get update without any problems. I believe it's just a kernel config option (although I might have done some code modifications), so the problem isn't the driver, it's with Android's userspace.

So you enabled USB ether in the kernel config and it's working for you? Against a linux host or Windows? that would be nice, I haven't tried that in ages.
Edit: yes, the 'valid' connection check is definitely in Android userspace. But I either forgot or didn't know that our usb ether func driver worked when enabled.

hotspot gives increasingly higher numbers

I am running frf91 and my hotspot is working. Every time I turn on the hotspot function of my phone and connect my computer, my computer sees it remembers the SSID and password but reports a higher number than the time before. For example my SSID shows 'androidap (5)'. Five is the number of times I have turned the feature on my phone and then connected my computer. I don't know if the problem is my phone or computer. I am using a dell latitude 6400 with win7 64bit.

It has something to do with your computer, more specifically - with bloatware that is most probably installed as WiFi control application. Nothing to do with Nexus. SSID doesn't change, otherwise you wouldn't be able to connect to it.

Thanks for your input Jack. My computer is recently formatted and I am only using the windows software to manage my wireless networks. I am not using any third party software. What kind of bloatware were you thinking? I am using Microsoft security essentials for antivirus but otherwise I try to keep things very clean. Maybe it's a driver issue? Any other thoughts?

Usually laptops come preinstalled with management SW from their manufacturer - including WiFi management apps that are bundled with the WiFi driver (Intel, Dell, etc). If you didn't install it and you're using the default Win7 networking - then my answer above isn't applicable.
Any chance of a screenshot showing this number?
Also, you could try changing the SSID, registering the laptop on the new network and checking if you're getting the same number increase as before.

'bleedin Windoze again then !!

I have a Lenovo laptop with a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional. No other WiFi management software.
I have this same issue. Everytime I WiFi tether, I get a new network connection with an increasingly higher number. It's not the SSID that changes, though. That's always the same. Just the connection name changes.
I prefer to just tether with USB, anyway. That way my phone gets a charge a the same time. I mostly use my WiFi tether for my iPad.

I have Win7 at home, I'll test it later.

Thanks again. I have tried changing the ssid and I am getting the same results. I have found that if I keep tether running on the phone and connect multiple times from the computer, the number doesn't climb. But when I toggle tether on the phone and connect it creates a new, higher number. Of course my mac friend can't reproduce this error with his ipad, all is fine there. I have reproduced this error on two win7 64 machines and an XP profession 32 machine.
The screenshot you requested is attached

I noticed this too even with USB tether. I am fairly certain that this is because your computer counts each connection as a different network because your phone uses dynamic ip addresses and that creates a different default gateway for your hotspot each time it is connected.

Ok, looks like it's creating a new "public network" each time you're connected to tethering.
I couldn't replicate it on XP, since XP doesn't create network profiles for connections.

This is a stock Android issue, right? Not something screwed up in just custom ROMs?
Can someone point me in the direction of the bug report on the Issues tracker? Or isn't there one?

It's because it is in a different IP range all the time.
You're worrying about nothing. It's simply a trivial number, nothing to even concern yourself with.

Wrong. Windows 7 takes 5 minutes to connect to the network when this happens, as opposed to the usual 10 seconds or so.

Should also note that to use the 64 bit version of the windows software you must be running 64 bit java.

Now this is just awesome.
However it needs a fair bit of setting up in Windows as the balloon notifications are ugly.
Maybe I'll try Growl for windows!

I have had this for about 2 weeks now. The latest update is becoming annoying because it gives me a battery notification every 5 minutes. Maybe its the rom im using.

I cant seem to get this working. I would assume that since my desktop is connected to the network via Wired Connection, and my phone via wifi, but my pc wont see any of the services.
[edit] turns out i had to set it to sent to my custom IP and it works

I just saw this and downloaded it... It's perfect for me!
It worked perfectly first time, no configuration needed... just start the app and start the .exe on my PC and it works great.
One question I do have though is, what is Growl and how do I get it?

ya, i set up custom ip, which i assume would be the ip address of my desktop? and no go for some reason. too bad, i could actually use this. any suggestions would help but if not, Ill try and email the dev..vista with a wired connection to my router, if that makes a difference

Try double checking your IP address?
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center (If you're on Windows)
1. Click on "Local Area Connection" (If you're on Wired Connection)
2. Click on "Details..."
3. Look for your IP address at "IPv4 Address"
However, if the IP address of your desktop is not static. I’m afraid it will vary whenever you reboot your router/modem.
Alternatively, you may set the Target IP address to “Global broadcast address” on your phone.

Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System (OS)?
Did you download the 32-bit or 64-bit client for Android Notifier Desktop onto your desktop?
If you're on 64-bit OS and downloaded the 64-bit client for Android Notifier Desktop, you also need 64-bit Java.
Additionally, is the Target IP address set to “Global broadcast address” or "Custom IP or host" on your phone?
If it is on "Custom IP or host" you need to manually add the IP address of your desktop to it.

Android-notifier and DHCP networks
Does anyone have any clever ideas on how to get the following to work:
DynDNS hostname used on home network.
Router set to forward packets on the proper port.
I'd like it if I could forward to the broadcast address rather than a fixed IP. I.E., it doesn't matter WHICH computer receives the broadcast after it gets to my home network, just that SOMETHING does.
(I can't guarantee which computer I'll be using)
Ideally, I'd also like to be able to use this on my laptop, regardless of where I am: home or elsewhere, tethered or not.
make sense?

I can't keep a constant wireless connection on my nexus one but it works as long as the wireless doesn't hang which never happens...
so I tried to get Bluetooth working, I fainally got able to pair with my PC (Windows 7 64bit.) And it says paired but not connected on the phone. I try to send the test notification from the phone, but never got anything on the PC.
Can this work over the internet?
