Hello folks,
I have an wildfire and don't have 3G data access.
I only have a hotspot account from some carrier that offers plenty of hotspot in the city. It's convenient enough.
So I have Wifi account and is it possible to share it? So some other phones and my laptops could access the internet through my wildfire wirelessly?
So, in short, I have wifi access to the internet and would like to share it. I guess tethering is not doing this. Do you guys have any idea?
Best,
Matt
Google Pdanet
should make it possible to share wifi through bt or usb.
haven't tried it though
Godspeed

Thanks for the reply. Should try.
Meanwhile, for the tethering available on google code, will this support sharing Wifi connection?
Or anything else does?
Matt

Please Help, I am not IT, but here is my situation and problem, I HAVE: ATT Tilt, Linksys wireless router, Bluetooth, USB internet sharing, I WANT: have no idea how to set up my system to give my Wii internet access. I live in the country so I have no options for wired internet. ATT MediaNet is my only choice. I have unlimited data 3G through my Tilt
So your aim is to give your Wii access to the internet via your Tilt, do I understand correctly?
If so probably the easiest way is by using WMWifiRouter? I guess that should do it and it makes configuration very easy - Google it.
Failing that I think there might be some stuff in the Kaiser pages of the Wiki about sharing internet over Wifi - as above though, I don't think the Wii needs anything special that WMWifiRouter couldn't sort out, and configuration is very simple using that app. I might be wrong and perhaps there is something it can't do which the Wii would need, but helpfully enough there's a trial version available that would let you test...
Regards,
Rob.
First thing that comes to my mind is installing the software called "WMWifi Router" on your Tilt and trying to connect your Wii wirelessly (if i'm right it comes with Nintendo Wi-Fi connection).
goodluck
Caution: You are going to use your Tilt as a modem. You may be entering into the TETHERING world. If you upload/download too much stuff to the Wii via the Tilt, AT&T may wack you some hefty charges.
Google tethering on this site to become aware of the possible consequences. You may need to buy a tethering plan from ATT.
wmwifirouter doesn't support some things and it may not support the Wii. If that doesn't work just use internet connection sharing to your computer and then run ethernet or use adhoc wireless to share the internet to the wii from the computer. Use google or help to figure that all out. It's not hard to do.
Hello.
I'm trying to connect two wireless devices (HTC hero with a WM device or PSP for example) and I want to do that without an AP.
As far as I know that's possible with AD-HOC network, but wireless tether on android seems to only share internet and not just create a wireless network and since I don't have data-plan it doesn't let me tether.
I'm basically trying to create a walkie-talkie or a messenger app
So... is it possible to create and AD-HOC connection on my phone (not for the internet)?
Thanks in advance.
couldn't you just call (walkie talkie) or sms (messenger) the other wireless device?
Sorry but that was a really dumb reply.
The purpose is to make free calls and send free messages if you haven't figured that out already and even though I'm not going to be actually using this, it's interesting to try and I could also finally put some use to my PSP.
Also it has to be *specifically* wifi.
As far as I know the Nintendo-DS supports something like this. Is that true?
I thought of this aswell.
Could be very usefull!
Folks at XDA, for so long now I have been in awe of your expertise and today I must pick your brains....
I have HTC Portal on my Hero, and as I am getting a little sick of the tiny keyboard for texting etc, was wondering if it were possible to:
Create an Ad-Hoc network on the phone, connect my iPad to it, and use HTC Portal to send messages etc without removing the phone from my bag.
I have wireless tether for when i want to share my Data connection with the Pad, but what about the other way around?
When it was connected like this, i wouldnt be interested in any internet transfer, just a link....
any ideas? ive had a google about but with no joy
not sure if this would work but try this
thats the software that ive got, but i want to create an adhoc network so i can tether the phone to the ipad and control it without a router..... it seems there isnt a way to create an ad-hoc network with the phone
Hey guys,
Anyone know how to configure port forwarding for torrents when using tethering? I'm on froyo if that matters. I get a nice 200-300kB/sec down and 100/kB up for regular data transmission, but my utorrent is crap.
And no, I will not be abusing my tethering. I just want to have a good working setup.
Thanks
Check your router settings
umm...really? I'm tethering...that means no router. I'd be on 3G.
You can tether to a router/local network... you never specified. You can't forward ports from the phone, it's not connecting to a physical modem you have access to.

I very much doubt your network operator allows the port range required for torrents on the apn you're connecting to... you could try a port check to find out (but they probably drop that traffic too).
Can you set up an SSL torrent on port 80 to test?
Hi, I've searched for an answer but I didn't find anything relevant, so my questions is, can I create an wifi lan connection between two phones but without sharing the mobile data connection?

you mean then exchanging files through wireless, where the wireless LAN is established and maintained by the two phones and not by a 3rd device (router) ?
Exactly. But not only file exchange, I want rather to host a web-server on one phone and other phones can access it without having an internet connection.

I might be less informed than you, but then what is tethering about?
With tethering, the phone with WAN access (the tetherer) can share the internet to the phone without internet access (the tetheree)
It also shares the mobile data connection which I don't want. Maybe there is a way to start Wi-fi thetering without sharing the data connection?
Wi-Fi direct is what you are looking for, the bad news is that the sgs doesn't support it (to my knowledge).
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Why not simply disable 'data' for mobile connection on server side?
Maybe you can control the corresponding traffic (port 80) with Droidwall.
I think this may be exactly what you want. It creates a local web server using the WiFi hotspot library so people can download files from your phone with a very to use QR system.

there are roms with wi-fi direct support. I was able using it with CM10
Thanks guys, I've solved it with the wi-fi hotspot option from cm10 & disabling the data connection.
And by the way, as a web-server I used Paw Server. It also supports PHP.
