can sum1 please post step by step instructions on how to connect to another computer on a home wireless network, network is 100% would love to get this working!
thanks
Make sure both wifi adapters are ON (both PC and PDA)
1. On your PDA, go to Start->settings->Connections->Network cards
You should find two tabs "Wireless" & "Network Adapters"
2. Click on Add New (in the wireless tab)
3. Give a convinient name, and select "This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection"
4. Complete it by hitting OK
5. Go to "Network Adapters" tab, and choose "tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet..." adapter
6. Provide a specific IP address (eg. 192.168.1.2) & subnet mask (eg. 255.255.255.0)
7. Press OK to complete it!
8. Now, on your desktop, double click on your wireless connection tray icon, and then click on "Properties" button
9. Double click on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" in the list to get the tcpip properties
10. Select "Use following IP address, and specify an IP (eg. 192.168.1.1) & subnet (eg. 255.255.255.0)
11. Press Ok, and close all dialogs
12. Now, right click on your wireless tray icon and select "View available wireless networks"
13. If you've got all the above steps right, you should find the Adhoc network you created on your PDA (...you should find the name you provided in step 3!)
14. Connect to it, and you have your wifi adhoc connection established!
Now you can do the following -
1. You can browse the contents of your desktop through Resco by setting up a simple Network drive (as long as you have a username and password for a user account on your desktop, it should be pretty straight forward to do it in resco!)
2. You can use Terminal services client
a. Fire up TSC, and type in your computer's name and press connect
(you can find out by right clicking on your "My Computer" icon and then clicking on properties) Eg. "Laptop" (without the quotes)
b. press connect, and you should see a login screen!
c. Enter your username and password that u use on ur desktop, and you should get things rolling Wink
Cheers!

ok, don't want to use adhoc, have a netgear dg834g, are the instructions the same for the adhoc, as in the ip setup?
One point to note, at least on my setup...
If I try TSC and enter my servers name it attempts to connect via GPRS,3G. If however I enter the IP address it connects with Wifi perfectly.
Not sure why but I can live with it...

My bet would be that your wifi might not be giving you DNS services and your GRPS is.
You would think so, but my laptop and all the other PC's in the house happily connect using TSC to my server using its NAME instead of it's IP. I just thought it was some thing to do with the Universal.
Anyone knows how is possible to set a different port of 3389 default?
I try to write 192.168.1.X:XXXXX but it's impossible..it says The server name is invalid.
Thankx
No one?

No way to redirect on the client side but you could redirect on the server side with a port forwarding type app. Kind of defeats the purpose of obscuring port 3389 though.
the problem with wifi gprs umts vpn and tsc all relate to the same issues, namely "." in the addresses.
the full stop and name issues usually relate in some way to the "my work" and "internet" designations of your connection types.
to cut a long story short, if you are having difficulty using IP addresses (I have never got a name to work), then place the IP address you are trying to use in the exceptions section of your connection type.
this way, the OS allows the "." in the addressing.
I think the "." issue is not allowed when you are the "my work" connection type, as this is designed or expects to a name for the connection. this is so even if you are using myserver.mydomain.com as the addressing.
if it detects the fullstop, it assumes you want to use the "internet" connection, disconnects what you are looking for and starts using the "internet" designated connection, and if it cant find one uses the 3g/gprs and auto launches.
what a wonderful system, and I dont really fully understand the need for "my work" versus "internet" but it is at operating system level from microsoft, and occurs on all the WM2005 devices as far as I can establish.
if you search on "my work" vpn gprs or similar through the forums, you will find a detailed outline and explanations.
i encountered the problems when trying to use TSC over a VPN over either WIFI or 3G, it simply kept cutting out after 2 seconds, or couldnt find it.
IP addresses are far better, far faster if you can use them and know them, add these into your exceptions as you will find that they rarely change and it should all start coming together.
hasnt been mentioned and dont know if it is different for the m5000 on WM5 (iam using an m1000 with SDIO WIFI)
If i have the PDA Connected on the Wireless network to enable me to connect through TSC i always have to ensure that my work network is selected for both of the two options in Network Management, (start/settings/connections/connections/advanced/select networks)
The top one 'programs that connect to the internet should connect using' is the key one for me, i have an orange gprs connection i need to ensure this has orange gprs or it will not connect, and vise versa if connecting through wireless it has to be My Work Network
does anyone know how i can find out what the mac address of my cingular 8125 is? I need it to add to my mac filtering address on my router settings.
Turn on wifi. Then goto settings connections. Tap on the wifeless lan icon. Goto the advanced tab and there it will be. You have to have wifi on to view. Took me some time to figure this out myself.

thanks.. funny thing is right when i read ur post, i thought of another way to figure it out. Connect to the network and then go into ur routers dchp settings and look at the client list. It will list ur phone their and its mac address.
i have a MAC address lock on my wifi at home and i dont know where to find the MAC address for my 8525 so i can enter it in the router. anyone know?
.lau
Depends on the OS and ROM, but usually is under "Settings", "Connections", "Wireless LAN", "Advanced".
WiFi must be turned on to see it. It will be listed as just "MAC"
yep, surely that did it... thanks!
Here is a simple guide to share you PC or Laptop internet connection with your phone through wifi.
Download and install connectify on your PC or Laptop. Do a google search, you'll find Connectify-Lite for free.
Fill in the settings panel with your prefered WiFi name, password and internet connection to share.
Click start button to start sharing
On your Wireless Connection Status, click Details to get the network connection information, note the IPV4 Address
Now on your Android Device
Go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi Settings
Open Advance settings menu
Tick the Use static IP option
Enter your desired IP address (ex: 123.456.7.8) into Ip Address field
Enter your IPV4 Address (ex. 192.168.178.1) into Gateway field
Enter 255.255.255.0 into Netmask field
Enter your internet connection’s DNS server (use ipconfig /all command to get DNS info) into DNS 1 and DNS 2. As an alternative, you can use Google Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Connect to Wi-Fi using your password
Disable and Enable Wi-Fi (in case if it won’t connect)
It will start working on your android device.
The reason that you need to do all this is you don't have DHCP server enabled on your windows machine for connectify.
An alternative way is to use "Internet Pass through" USB connection mode. In this case windows will automatically enable a DHCP server.
I have attached the screenshots with the post.
Please ask if you have any further query.

I dont understand, what does this accomplish? If you have wifi just connect to it.

It helps you share your PC internet connection with your phone through wlan if you don't have a wifi connection and your PC is connected to internet via ethernet.
●●[ROOTED][GUIDE]Wifi Reverse teTher-Windows and Ubuntu-Ad hoc Networks●●
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY
I think there is an easier way for windows although I cant test it right now.
In network settingfind option to create new network. Create an ad-hoc network.
In start menu search for "network connection".
In network connections, highlight both the network you just created and the network that your internet comes from.
Right click and select bridge networks.
Shouldn't require doing anything to your phone or even being rooted. As I said I havn't tested this but I don't see why it would not work.
Does anyone know if there is a way to reverse tether over USB?

For USB tethering there are many third party application in play store.
And I have seen in many devices that after creating ad-hoc network also ... the device doesn't gets connected to internet.

Even if the network is bridged to a regular internet network?
I guess you missed attaching the files needed. even though they are included in the link in your signature about the same thread in other forum
