I recently moved and am using someones wifi for a while. I have a laptop that connects fine to it but I am wanting to take it one step further. (Please see image for what I want to do.)Thanks for your time..
In general I just want to receive wifi on my laptop and output that with an ethernet cable to a router that will then supply internet to my 360 and htpc. I have tried both Bridge and ICS and neither have worked. Is this possible?
I don't think you can output wifi from a laptop to just any router. I don't even think you can do that. Best bet would be to buy an wi-fi adapter and router
you need a ethernet crossover cable from your laptop to router(you need it) and just follow this how to, just replace the ps2 with a router

Ya I have tried almost everything but using a crossover cable. Thanks for the reply and your time..
One more question, would i need to disable dhcp on my router and assign the ip manually? Just wondering while im at work because I cant mess with it till tonight.

im not sure, im a noob at network things, but just try it with dhcp and if no go then change it. after that, nothing happens, just come back here maybe someone else can help
My bad I'm a noob. I forgot you can use it as an internet bridge.
i wonder how did it go?
ps. if you cant find a crossover cable just make one. you can just cut a regular ethernet cable and cross the wires
just search for it to see witch ones need to be crossed

1 & 2 (Pair One) and 3 and 6 (Pair Two)
Basically if it is Orange-White, Orange, Green-White, Blue, Blue-White, Green, Brown-White, Brown. On one end the other end needs to be Green-White, Green, Orange-White, Blue, Blue-White, Orange, Brown-White, Brown. Or Vice versa.
Is likely that the problem is the address used (or assygned) from the router.
when you are using the M$ ICS the PC that shares the connection MUST have the 192.168.0.1 address (and not any other address).
So if this is the address already used from the wiwfi router you can't easily share your connection.
So config the router on another address (eg: 10.0.0.1) and then share your connection with the XP machine as usually.
Well for a little update I ended up buying a crossover cable and successfully can connect one device through my laptop. i ended up bridging the connection and its working great. Unfortunately I am still unable to feed internet to the router. I am happy with just connecting one thing at a time but will work on getting the router fixed this weekend. Thanks for all the help guys and ill update if i get the router working.

Solutor,
Thanks I will give that a try this weekend, I have 3 PCs and a 360 so I def. want to get the router working. I tried a different subnet on my router a while ago and that didnt work but then again I wasnt as far as I am now. Thanks again
Success!!!
Ok guys here it is:
My laptop was receiving the ip 192.168.200.252 via dhcp from the neighbors wifi. My router(linksys wrt54g) on the other hand was set as default which is
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
So all I had to do was change the linksys from Dynamic to static ip and add this info:
Internet I.P. Address: 192.168.200.251 (this field was already populated.)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (Also already populated.)
Gateway: 192.168.200.1 (Neighbors wifi Router i.p.)
Static DNS: 192.168.200.1 (Use Neighbors DNS settings?)
Thats It. Thanks again for everyones help and hopefully this can help people with this problem down the road
Ok, well basically my end need is to have my Google Calendar synced to my phone on which I have no service or access to WiFi internet. I'm in Iraq right now, and the only internet I have is via Ethernet.
I am hoping to, at the least, sync my calender over USB. But one thing I'd love to do is share my internet connection to my phone via USB like WinMo does. That way I can mess with new roms and the such while I'm out here. Thing is, it can't have it's own IP address because all IP's are assigned and I have to log in via my browser on my computer once I'm connected. It's a pain in the ass.
But, any help would be great. Thanks!
I am pretty sure there is not a way to do what you are asking. Without wifi or and kind of data signal, there is no way to connect the gmail servers to your phone. I am pretty sure that usb is out of the question, which seems to be your only option.
Sorry my friend.
This might help, all you need is linux. You could virtualize it, but idk if you can do that where you are at right now.
any possibility of getting a usb wifi device and setting up Internet Connection Sharing so your phone would have a local ip like 192.168. and share the connection on your computer with your phone???
I don't know exactly how the IP shiz works with ICS, but the ISP out here uses 192.168 IP's. All I know is that the phone would need to not have an IP, or something along those lines, for it to work. IDFK....
If you're in iraq, it might be hard to get your hands on one of these, BUT, in the interests of completeness,
Use of a regular cheap broadband router with integrated wifi WILL do what you are looking to do...
You might need to clone your computer's MAC address to the router's WAN device, then it'll connect to the DHCP server, then using EITHER the computer OR the phone, go to the browser and authenticate.
Note: I don't think that there is really any way to network the phone to the computer using USB, though bluetooth IS an option... it'll be a console-only operation though.
Final option is to get your hands on a wifi device for the computer (can be a USB device) and run it as a NAT, i.e. use iptables.

They don't care what the MAC is, just IP's. I can get a WiFi router if I need to. But, if I turn off DHCP on the router, does it still need it's own IP address? Or does it just act as a switch? All IP configuration is done on the device, there is no DHCP ran by the ISP.

The cheap broadband router has TWO IP addresses. The public IP address assigned by the ISP's DHCP server (or manually if the ISP doesn't have DHCP), and the PRIVATE IP address used to communicate with the other devices that you hook up to it. It uses NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation ) to connect the client machines to the public network. To the public network, it appears that there is ONLY ONE machine connecting -- the NAT box (router) itself.
You will leave the DHCP *SERVER* (LAN SIDE) running on the router, you will disable the DHCP *CLIENT* (WAN SIDE) and configure the WAN IP/NETMASK/DNS/GATEWAY to the specifications required by the ISP. You will use the router's WAN port to connect to your ISP, you will use any LAN port to connect to your computer, and you will use the WiFi to connect to your phone. You will then have private IP addresses assigned to your computer and your phone, and these devices will be able to connect through your ISP's network via the router.
So doing that the ISP will see my router as my computer, then both my phone and computer can connect at the same time because they'll have their own private IP?
How on earth do you find your wifi mac address on this dam thing?
According to HTC there is no way to find the phone's WiFi MAC address from the phone. The only way to do so is to turn off MAC Address Filtering on your WiFi router, allow the HD7 to connect to the router, then look up the HD7's MAC address from the list of WiFi clients on the router.

as the title says, I have a problem with connecting to any wifi network, already spent two days searching different forums, I've tried various CUSTOM ROM (zeus, miui, stock 2.2.2), but without success, currently using ParanoidAndroid V2.52...
i see all wifi network, when it connects just stuck on connecting, then disconnect... router is 100% OK, connects with PS3 or other device OK...
obviously a problem with the MAC address, in advanced wifi is set to always and my MAC address is 74:A7:22:E5:09: DA... but in the etc / wifi / nvram.txt in line macaddr = 00:90:4c:c5:00:34 ??? not same as orginal...
any help is welcomed :good: and sorry on my bad English

Why dont you try to set your MAC adress then? But if it doesnt work with any ROM, what about your wifi device, might it be broken? Did you already try to connect to other wifi networks? Did it work there? What channel does your router use? Maybe change it to another (between 1-10 I would say) one and try again?
Happy answering and testing

thanks for the anwser
I think that wifi device is not broken, bcuz i connect 4-5 time in 2 days... but page from browser not open... maybe 100-200kb download and stuck... then disconnect...
how to rewrite the address in the etc / wifi / nvram.txt ... I tried with root manager and busybox tutorial from this forum but without success
EDIT: i made some progress... in router settings i change to United States (even I am in Europe - Bosnia) and channel 9... connect each time but not open any page in browser ???
The address in nvram.txt is a dummy MAC address and should interfere with the actually MAC address once it's fully powered on.

The mac address in nvram.txt is dummy address. It's only used if it fails to get proper MAC address or haven't got it yet.
Perhaps it's hardware issue.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me please?
I have a rooted xperia sp phone and I don't know how can I change my Mac address:/
I tried Mac Address Ghost, Mac Spoofer and Wireless Mac Address Changer too, but unfortunately after I changed my mac i could not connect to wifi. It says/shows "authentication problem".
I "need" to change it because in our school theres 2 network....one for students (Let's say NetworkA) and one for teachers(NetworkB) and when I arrive school NetworkA is full so i cannot connect to it :/...but there's NetworkB which is nearly empty..and on the other hand it has a wider internet connection. And as you know it is great when you need something from the internet and you have (fast) wifi (that you can connect to).
(Sorry for my english :s )

Hello there , im the owner off Wireless Mac Changer application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wireless.macchanger
In my app i have provided two ways to the change the mac, if you read the description, the simple way will change the mac but you cant connect to any password protected network cuz of the limitation how it changes the mac, you can choose the hard way , this will let you connect to secured network, but this way may not work on all devices , try to disconnect from the network you are connected to , then change the mac using the hard way
Win
Thanks, I did it without spoofing my mac
I got the routers IP so I made a static IP and it works but thank u again
