hi, I have discovered that USB connection CAN work on G1. So far, in CM-4.2.9.1, built-in tether must be selected in settings. If phone portal is running in the background, wait a little while and a notification will appear and say to enter in the address in your PC browser window. is there anybody that can help in getting this to work without tethering?

Hey so I installed this software and am trying to get tethering running before I get on that wifi-less train tomorrow back home.
It seems to "work" as in it creates the 3G to wifi connection via ad-hoc access point which my macbook can connect to fine - but I cannot access the internet from the laptop.
I tried 3G to usb and it just sits at "waiting for connection". I have synced up my Fuze to the macbook via usb via missing sync so I know the usb connection does "work".
I had it point to both medianet and a new gprs connection I created pointing to nothing (no user/pass/etc) and it connects to both but nada on the macbook end.
I should add I did delete the Forcecellconnection reg entry.
Any ideas?
thx

The reason for this is because AT&T has coded a registry key that only allows the ISP.CINGULAR apn do teathering. I am using another ROM so that has been removed but the registry key that you should remove to enable this is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings\ForceCellConnection
just make sure to reboot the phone once you delete the key.
as stated above, the registry key was removed before the problems.

Sorry, I should have read the complete post before. I have not been able to teather to my mac but i have read that it works with bluetooth although I havent tried it yet.
I've been struggling with it as well and I had the impression that the software doesnt behave properly as a DHCP server. Meaning your laptop is not getting an IP address from your phone.
I also note that after you install this program it uses a fixed IP address for the wireless lan card, which results in not being able to access any other wireless access point when you're done using wmwifirouter. So I gave up and am waiting for a newer version where this might work all a bit more intuitive.
wmwifirouter works perfectly with my macbook/ipod. Did you keep all the default settings? (i did)
yes i did - didnt work.
I loaded up vista on boot camp and i can get internet sharing to work there.. weird.
I am going to try a few custom ROMs and see if that helps at all - will report back.
thx!
welli tried notatreofanand da-gs roms and they both work in vista but still no go for leopard...
i cant figure out why it connects via usb fine in windows but osx doesnt ever want to connect with this or internet sharig?
i know the phone can sync n connect via usb since The Missing Sync can connect and even transfer files and such.
any other ideas?
Hi folks, just got my diamond almost a week ago and I already filled it up with applications, absolutely love it's wide area of functions. I came across a great idea that i could use at work: to connect the phone through activesync(that will give me internet on the phone from the computer) and then to use wifirouter app to further share this internet connection. But I couldn't get this working, because wifirouter accesses my gsm/3g internet on the phone instead of the internet obtained from the computer through activesync. Anyone got an idea how to get this working?
when u connect your phone with usb u can choose : shared internet connection. maybe then it will works dnoo
I don't think you understood, I need internet forwarding from pc to phone firstly, which I managed to do already with activesync, but I also want wifirouter application to recognize the internet being sent from the pc through activesync and not connect to edge/3g.
I think u need to setup your wifi router again this time dont set it to gprs/3g select usb to wifi. That shld work it
The wifirouter application doesnt give me any options, it just initializes and thats it.
can anyone help?
Using the USB to Wifi mode should work in this instance. That is if you're using one of the paid versions as I'm not sure if the free version supported this.
Hey guys so ive tried ever wireless tether app under the sun and none ever seem to work for me.
Im running Cyan's 4.01, PdaNet the wired version works flawlessly for me when i tether it to my computer, however done of the wireless ones EVER work for me, ive tried both aNetshare and the "Wireless Tether for Root" App that is floating around on the forums here, neither have ever worked for me
i have absolutely no problems connecting my computer to my G1 via wifi when using these programs, however the connection is always Peer to Peer and Local only, never internet and it never works
any ideas?
What OS are you trying to tether with?
Ensure your wifi network settings have DHCP set....
ALSO if you're wifi uses a NON-Microsoft Wifi settings software (e.g. Intel's or Broadcom) disable it and use the microsoft stack.
Are you trying to connect via Ad-hoc? Also are you using the WEP encryption? Does it give you any errors or just doesn't seem to connect?
The computer im connecting with is running Vista.
Im not using any form of WEP encryption is 100% open, it has no problems connecting peer to peer but the internet is inaccesible via tethering, it connects fine with no errors but it states local only with no internet access
Also as another side note, i use a program called SwiFTP which runs FTP via wifi so i can transfer file to and from my computer and G1 wirelessly , however that system never works, whenever i go to enable it, it says "Error Opening port, check your network connection" and the program does not work, ive tried changing different ports, i used the default port 2121 and it cannot open it, i also tried other random ones like 23 etc and it can never open a port or seem to work
Are you trying to connect via Ad-Hoc?
No, im using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" app downloaded off this forum
I think that is the problem. When you try to connect to the G1 on your computer, you have to set up the computer to connect via Ad-Hoc, not on the G1.
Not sure of the entire setup process, but go to the control panel and click on set up network connections (or something along that line) somewhere in the options of connection types there should be Ad-Hoc. You will have to enter the network name and confiure the WEP encryption, but it is pretty easy.
You should be able to figure it out from there. Let me know if you have any more problems.
access control option
have you checked the access control settings? if this is enabled, you have to manually allow the machines internet connection.
Hey, I had to apk's fo rthis the signed_andtether_1_52-pre2.apk did not work. The file labeled Signed_andtetehr_1_52.apk works everytime.
Firewall?
Sure your Vista Firewall is on? If so FORCE it off and try again...
Hi everyone.. I'm really hoping you can help me with this final issue to get my color nook up and running. I am running a rooted nook (autonooter) with the ad-hoc workaround installed. The machine can find and see the ad-hock network that I setup using my iphone with mywi 4.11.2 (no wpa setup).
The nook attempts to connect to it and gets stuck obtaining the IP address - nothing I have done (reboot, toggle wifi, etc) allows it to connect successfully. I am able to connect other machine (netbook/ipad) to the iphone so I know it is broadcasting/connecting ok... also, I can establish a connection on the nook to other wireless networks.
I'm about at my wits end as this is the final piece I need to get things rolling... any thoughts/ideas, etc?
Thx!!
Never mind... I fixed it by installing the 4.50.6 version of Mywi on the phone.. works like a charm now! Thx!
I'm currently running Firefly 2.7, but I've had a similar issue across a couple roms and several modems. The only successful tethering I've EVER done has been via Firefly here and whatever stock kernel/modem it comes with.
Basically, I'm looking for anyone to explain to me what process they use to tether...
I've never successfully USB tethered. I've hotspotted twice, once it worked GREAT (I was plugged into usb at the time for power), it was fast and flawless. I tried over and over again one day and finally got it to connect, but it repeatedly wanted to time out and error, although it never lost its wifi connection. That time I was NOT plugged in.
These are both using the baked-in tether options in Froyo---USB tether and hotspot, NOT using an external app. I've also used PDANet successfully, but I'd prefer to be able to bounce between systems (I actually use about 5 different laptops regularly) and share the connection on the road.
All my systems are using Win 7, selecting home or work as network type. Any suggestions welcome.
Quick edit: I've noticed that sometimes with this rom my wifi will stop working all together---I don't leave it on normally, but sometimes it won't turn on.
i dont have any wifi issues with Firefly
I have never done USB tether before now. It worked on first try. took me less than a minute to figure out and have working.
however to enable USB tethering.
plug USB into PC
Press Menu button
Press Settings
Press Wireless and Network
Press Tethering
Press CHECK enable.
PC will do the rest by itself. (win 7 64 / other drivers pre-installed)
Yea, that's pretty much exactly what I did. You're successfully hotspotting and usb tethering w/ firefly base rom? Hmm. Anyone else?
tethering AND hot-spotting?...
no i tethered only. ( PC got internet from PHONE via USB )
hot spotting is wifi.. ( aslo know as Mobile AP )
you want to do both? or...?
EDIT: you can also share internet through Bluetooth if your pc has it. mine does.
EDIT EDIT: to get my Mobile AP fully connected (no limited connectivity), i had to have windows "Troubleshoot the connection" . And setup your Mobile AP settings on Phone to use WPA2 with password. your phone # is a good choice for PW.
I just want to do one OR the other successfully each time. Bluetooth isn't a choice currently, really the Mobile AP is the best overall solution. I had just left it open to see if I could connect, but if I can make it work every time I'll certainly secure.
