Hello. I was searching on google how to connect my android to my PC`s shared Internet over Virtual Router.
I wanted to share this method because as I read there were many problems connecting to Virtual Router (works only on Windows 7 with Hosted network support).
Sorry, cannot post any links to application or sources as I have no access to that option.
Do not know if this will work for you but it worked for me. It is worth a try.
1. So, first step is to verify that your WiFi card is supported (search google - "virtual router supported devices" and at second result you can check that).
2. If you do not have supported device, sorry, can not help you. But if you have, then download Virtual Router manager v0.9 BETA application and run it. If you cannot start Virtual Router follow all next steps. But if you can start it and you can connect with your android device to Virtual Router then go straight to the step no. 10.
3. Open command prompt with Administrator privileges. (Windows button + R)
4. Enter the following command: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Test key=YOUR PASSWORD GOES HERE
Keep CMD window open as you will need it later (This will create a wireless access-point with SSID of “Test” Windows-7-Wifi-Setup)
5. Open the Networks and Sharing Center, then Change adapter settings.
Notice that there is a new "adapter" with labels:
Wireless Network Connection (may have some number at the end)
Test
Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
6. Right mouse click on adapter with what are you using internet on your PC and select Properties.
7. At the Sharing tab tick both boxes and at Home network connection drop-down menu select adapter which you created at step no. 4 (Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter).
8. After you have done these steps, go back at CMD and run this command: netsh wlan start hostednetwork.
This will start Virtual Router as well (if you left it running at step no.2). If you closed it then start Virtual Router and click on Start.
9. Now try to connect with your android device to Virtual Router.
10. Check if you have an internet connection by going on web. If you can connect and have internet connection then you are lucky and that is it for you. But if you can connect to Virtual Router but do not have internet access then follow these last steps.
11. On Windows, the Networks and Sharing Center, then Change adapter settings.
Double click on Microsoft Virtual WiFi Minispot Adapter and click on Details.
From there you will need this information: IPv4 Address and IPv4 Subnet Mask
12. (Note - you have to be connected to Virtual Router because I did that ant that was the way it worked for me) On android device go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press Menu button and go to Advanced.
Note the IP adress which Virtual Router have provided to you.
12.1. Tick Use static IP
12.2. In IP address enter the address which Virtual Router had provided to you.
12.3. In Gateway enter IPv4 Address from step no. 11.
12.4. In Netmask enter digits from IPv4 Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0)
12.5. In DNS 1 enter 8.8.8.8 and in DNS 2 enter 8.8.4.4 (those are Google Public DNS).
12.6. Press Menu button and select Save.
Now you can check if you have a internet connection.
I hope this will work for you as it is working for me.
If this helped you, do not be shy to click on Thanks

Of course, these steps are not just copy-paste, I wrote them going through those steps.
Thanks and your welcome.
I tried but it doesn't create a new adapter called "Test"
SSID will be called "Test". Adapter will be called Wireless Network Connection (may have some number at the end)

Did a search and didn't see a thread on this. Is is possible to set up an ad hoc wifi connection with my 8125 and my laptop then surf the web from the laptop using the phone as a modem? If so, how would I set it up? Thanks in advance...
Configure Cingular 8125 as a dial up modem
Found this on Howard's Forum
"Driver Installation
1) Insert the CD that came with the phone into your drive. Close the window that opens up.
2) Open up Activesync and go to File - Connection Settings. Remove the check from the box next to "allow USB connections"
3) Connect your Cingular 8125 to your Computer via USB
4) On the 8125 go to Start - Programs - Modem Link
5) In Modem Link choose USB under Connection and wap.cingular under Access Point Name.
6) Choose "activate" in modem link
7) Your computer should recognize the device and an "add new hardware" wizard should appear.
8) Choose "No, not this time" and click next
9) Choose "Install from a list or specific location [Advanced]" and click next
10) Choose "Search for the best driver in these locations"
11) Check the box next to "Include this location in the search"
12) Browse to the Following location [CD Drive]:\OEM\APPS\Drivers\USB Modem
13) Click Next
14) A dialog box will pop up, click Continue Anyway
15) Click Finish to complete the driver installation
Connection setup
1) Go to Start - Control Panel - Network Connections
2) Choose "Create a new Connection"
3) Click Next
4) Choose "Connect to the Internet" and click Next
5) Choose "Set up my connection manually" and click Next
6) Choose "Connect using a dial-up modem" and click next
7) Choose any name you want for ISP Name and click Next
8) Type *99# in the Phone number field and click Next
9) User Name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Confirm password: CINGULAR1
Note: the username and password need to be all in caps
10) Click Next
11) Click Finish
That's it, you should have a connection that will dial up to Cingular's GPRS network. If you have Edge service in your area you will get Edge speeds."
The windows mobile software doesn't have the ability to be a host for a ad hoc, i looked into it. The way i do it is using bluetooth, I run linux and have bluetooth on my laptop and connect to my phone that way. It works well, just slow.
Well darn. I was hoping to be able to set up a wireless connection using wifi, but guess not. Thanks Ozoner for the tips on using the usb. I'll just have to haul the usb cable around I guess.

I have played around with this, but could never get it work. Any advice on how to configure?
Hallo,
Does somebody have experience with the "remote desktop access" prog. WM6RDP.cab? See attachement.
Installed it, followed the instructions below but can't get it to work. Anybody suggestions?
Thanx in advance.
**
Here is some instructions to set up desktop and phone to work together:
- right click on 'my computer' (either from desktop or from start menu)
- select 'properties', click box under 'Remote Desktop'
- if your computer is behind a router, go in its settings under 'applications & gaming' or something similiar to that effect to allow certain applications specialized access in the 'port range forward' setting, below is how mine is set:
Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable
remote 3389 3389 Both 192.168.x.x x
- for IP address, be sure you indicate the LOCAL IP address of your host computer
- click on 'save settings' button
- while you're still in your router's configuration window, go under 'Status' and determine the 'IP address' (computer's location address, not 192.168.x.x), write it down
- on your phone, load up the WM6 RD application, under 'Computer' type in the 'IP address' of your computer's location address - again, not the 192.168.x.x
- type in your 'user name', and 'password' of the ACCOUNT you log in your computer, or you use
- then hit 'connect'...that's it.

Define "can't get it to work"....
Does it connect and then disconnect?? Does it not connect at all?? Does it display any sort of error message?? Are you logging in as administrator and if so, is the password non-blank (it has to be non-blank!)???
More clues = more help
Mark.
Hallo,
An message stating that i cannot connect.
On searching through various windows setting i found that on unchecking the allow external computers to access home pc in Windows OneCare did the trick.
I have a connection now. But....
The programm "changes" windows color scheme and thats nog nice.
anybody a suggestions for another program that allows remote access to home pc?
Your cab works fine for me -- I'd say the problem is in your network or firewall config.
i used to have the same problem connecting to my home PC via DynDNs i resolved by typing the address in the Computer name area instead of typing it in the Domain name area. Try this. it may help.
What r v supposed to enter in the tabs "Computer:" "User Name:' "Password:" and "Domain:"? Plz help.
OK, this method was tried with a WVC54GC v1.1 with firmware V1.21.
We will have to see if video stream is same for earlier versions!!
Have TCPMP installed. (latest version)
Connect your WVC54GC cam to your network with open view access in setup (that is NO PASSWORDS) for basic view, not tried peer to peer yet cause its late and kn..tired).
Make a WiFi connection from your phone to the same network.
Open TCPMP, select 'File' 'Open file' and type into the top field http://the.cam.ip.add/img/video.asf where 'the.cam.ip.add' is the network address of the camera (of course )
I saved my links in a directory called Cam Links (as 'whatever.cam instaed of .txt) using Activesync then used Resco explorer to link them to a TCPMP ( IE open these with!!) upload for automatic viewing!
Hope it works but expecting lots of queries...
OH BTW, there is about a 10 second delay on my setup but HEY, who cares cause the vid quality is great?
One other thing...
Make sure you hit the pause button before you shut down TCPMP as it tries to open the camera on next load.
OK, here is a method to connect it peer-to-peer (direct connect with no hub)
Get it up and working as in the first method.
Change your camera wireless settings (New SSID, fixed IP (Ex 192.168.1.115 subnet 255.255.255.0) and Ad-Hoc (peer to peer).
You will have to also edit the security settings for wireless as this camera can only use WEP in Ad hoc.
Select 128bit encryption and enter a 5 character passphrase, hit generate and make a note of this long hex string and select shared key.
On your phone, go to 'Settings' 'Connections' 'WiFi' and on the Network adapters tab, select WiFi and set for 'Use specific IP address and enter something close to your camera (Ex 192.168.1.110 subnet 255.255.255.0) click OK, then under the Wireless Tab 'Networks to access' select 'Only computer to computer' you should then see your camera.
Click connect and enter the hex string you made a note of from the camera encryption, be sure to select 'Shared' and it should connect.
Follow the instructions for TCPMP as in first post and you should have a fully portable WiFi camera (apart from the mains adapter!) to take around with you.
If you need to go back to Standard WiFi use, you only have to re-select 'All available' under Networks to use and under Network adapters re-select 'Use server assigned IP'
Enjoy.
This method should work for all Linksys cameras and just about any camera if you can identify the jpeg or mjpeg video output stream (ie. http://the.cam.ip.add/img/video.asf in first post)
Anyone tried this yet?
it works for me
It work for me. i use orb too.
I've received my Dream yesterday and the wi-fi is painfully slow. At first it didn't work at all, so I entered all settings by hand, assigned it a static IP address and other stuff. Then it worked, albeit very slowly. So, here's what you need to do if your wi-fi isn't too fast.
Go to Wi-Fi settings, press Menu and select Advanced Settings. On your computer (if you're using an unix based OS, at least - can some Windows guru help me out with this?), get to a terminal emulator and type:
Code:
ifconfig en1
This should give you output like this:
Code:
Wiktoria:~ Nekkoru$ ifconfig en1
en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:1c:b3:bd:b9:cb
inet6 fe80::21c:b3ff:febd:b9cb%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
inet 192.168.55.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.55.255
media: <unknown subtype>
status: active
Wiktoria:~ Nekkoru$ [CODE]
The IP address after inet (192.168.55.102 in my case) is what you're after. On your phone, enter your IP address as the IP adress you got, with the last block changed to anything that's not being used on your network. I assigned 192.168.55.69 to my phone, because it's easy to remember and it's kind of childish.
Now, your "Gateway" should be your router's IP address. Your router's IP should be specified in it's manual - or your system settings. Your subnet mask should always be 255.255.255.0.
We need your DNS settings now - this is where most of us screw up and this is what you need to fix the most. Go back to your computer's terminal and type in
[CODE]dig
Look at the bottom. You're interested in a line that says "SERVER: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx". That's your primary, first DNS. If you give that to your phone, your wi-fi should work way faster. Set it up as the second DNS as well, unless you know a better DNS server than your ISP's (anyone?).
I'm sorry this got so complicated, but that's the best way to set up your G1's internet if it gives you any trouble. I hope I helped somewhat.
hi, Enable Ad Hoc for Jellybean ((without router)) with Infrastructure Wi-Fi windows 7
follow the youube steps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klHzMyYFGeQ
cmd run as admin ,
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=testwifi key="123456789012"
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
But can Nexus actualy see Ad-Hoc networks? I remeber having a problem finding iPhone 3GS Ad-Hoc tethered network on my previous android devices, I had to use hacked wpa-supplicant to enable support for this and it never worked stable enough.
this work for all android ,ios ,this dont need to hack wpa_supplicant ,it will work like router , stable but it need windows 7 , with wifi card built in that support virtual miniport

Still need hacked wpa-supplicant to CREATE ad hoc networks on the Android device.
OP is showing how to create wireless network from the Win7 machine, for the Android to connect to.
This is a new feature in Windows 7 and differs from the normal adhoc networks. It shows on any Android device without problem. The video shows quiet good how you can set it up.
However, you might have to enable "Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" first, and set it to Automatic start. This is done in Computer Management -> Services and Applications -> Services. The Service may have a different (translated) name if your using Windows 7 in another language.
Also I would add keyUsage=persistent to the command line setting up your network.
And finally, since the Network has to be started again if you have restarted your PC or have woken it up from hibernation, a little tip:
- create a folder (doesn't really matter where, I just put it in C), name it, say, "Wifi" or "SoftAP" or whatever you like.
- Create two text documents in there, start.txt and stop.txt. (or on.txt and off.txt, again, doesn't matter)
- type netsh wlan start hostednetwork into start.txt and save
- type netsh wlan stop hostednetwork into stop.txt and save
- change both file's extension to .bat
- right click on taskbar -> Toolbars -> New Toolbar
- browse to the folder created earlier
You now have an on/off switch for your Soft-Access-Point on your taskbar!
You can also add start.bat to the list of services run at system start if you want to.
Been trying to get this to work and now its working. Thanks a lot
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just what I needed.
Works perfectly on my Nexus 4.
Getting Error after running the command
C:\Windows\system32>netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Did the 'set' command work ok?
Did you try opening the cmd window with Admin rights?
What keyUsage=persistent does?
