Hi there
Hope somebody can help me with this...
I ve set up an wireless ad hoc connection between my laptop, which is connected to a wired broadband connection, and my Xperia. When I look for the network, my Xperia finds the ad hoc network and I can connect to it no problem what so ever.
however, the problem then is that I cannot do much more once I m connected to my computer. I cannot find the folders which I specifically made available for network access nor can I surf the internet over the laptops' connection (which I normally should be able to do with an ad hoc connection)
anybody who has tried the same thing and succeeded? help would be appreciated
thanks

I have not done it with my xperia but had this problem with a WM6 device before. The problem is that windows mobile will not get a server assigned ip address and dns server address. You must specify a static ip and dns server, then it will work. And next time you want to connect to another network you must remove the static settings. Pretty annoying.

hi, im not able to connect to the net with my wizard.
i dont have a wireless router so am connecting directly to my laptop, the ad hoc connection i have made works fine for file tranfers, but not for activesync or connecting to the web in either PIE or minimo.
i know activesync isnt possible but surely i should be able to use the broaband from my laptop?
any pointers would be greatly appreciated. software? settings?
its a t-mobile uk vario with qtek test rom.
also anyone know of a remote control utility, i use logmein but would like something a little more menu/macro based for control of media.
cheers

Try turning on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on your laptop; that'll make your laptop act a bit more like a router, providing NAT services to the Wizard.
yeah i've tried that, and i've just tried bridging connections (dont really know much about that) but that hasnt worked either.

My configuration
Me too, I use ADHOC connection for my WLAN.
PC configuration:
ADSL connection shared
Adress IP:192.168.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
PocketPC configuration:
Adress IP:192.168.1.55 Mask:255.255.255.0 Gateway:192.168.1.1
DNS:80.10.246.2 for Wanadoo
Your problem is certainly the DNS.
You can put 192.168.1.1 too.
so it is possible? cool!.......but im still having problems.
i cant figure out how to enter these settings, not to sure where to put them,
iv tried puttin the DNS in the -> connections -> vpn
and -> network cards -> networks adapters -> SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter
sorry to be a pain, but could you point me to where to get each address and where to put them?
also is there anything particular you did to set up the adhoc network? i just used the Windows XP wizard and then ticket the AdHoc option after.
my laptop is conected to the router and the router is connected to aol adsl.
the ip address of my laptop is showing as a simple 10.0.0. number on the LAN but "Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.235.147" for the WLAN
none of my setup has a static ip address, could this be causing the problems?
thanks

It's more hazardous without static adress but it's can work.
My PC has directly access to the Internet with a ADSL modem.
It's here (network cards -> networks adapters -> SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter )
Apparently, it's ok for your PC and the Ad-Hoc mode.
Maybe, you should have your adress IP WLAN on the same network adress of your router.
I GOT IT WORKING!!!
I started again from scratch.
set a new WLAN. added new setup to the vario, added the DNS etc to the vario.
the problem i was having was the way i was sharing the internet connection, i was trying to shared the internet from the wireless to the lan rather than the internet from the lan to the wireless (if that makes sense to anyone!!!). i also ticked all the connection sharing services to allow them, just need to go through them and see which i dont need now.
thanks for the help guys

(its showing my transfer rate as 11Mbps, although i think iv done the G tweak and my laptop says its got a G card. what speeds should i be getting?)
I know that one can create a ad hoc network to share the desktops files and stuff without network computer.So can't i share internet?(off course i can).But i want this internet on my ppc,via wlan.Please help me!!!!
I do not want to use any router,usb,and active sync doesn't works in vista
Using vista home premium,
netgear wlan card
ppc i mat jasjam,a.k.a dopood 838pro.or tytn I.
Netgear Wlan card? What does it do? Is it a WiFi enabled modem/router through which you connect your PC to access the net? If yes, then connect your PPC directly to it!
Else, if netgear is a WLAN card, learn how you can make it act like an hotspot and then connect your PPC.
Get me?

Carty..

I'd love to know how this can be done as well...
Solution
I had internet over NIC one,and wireless network to connect my PPC to desktop. Now to pass internet to Wireless NIC just "bridge connection" from control panel-network and sharing centre-manage network connection....Right click on NIC1-add to bridge....right click NiC2-add to bridge
N.I.C-----Network interface card or lan card.If you don't have a switch, router then its a good idea to bridge all your networks so they are interconnected. A true web of networks. Any questions...message me.
One more thing, you cannot use a wireless card(net gear Belkin etc) as a gateway cuz one simple reason that it is not a router its just a connection point. I had a talk with Microsoft regarding this they say they might provide software to do this thing in the next windows. You can Google for software which can force your wifi card(wireless) card to become a gateway(hot spot) but chances of finding stable software are rare.
Hi ppl!
I have problem with connecting to the internet with my i900. I'm pretty new to WM so I'm pretty confused about lacking of standard options that I'm used on XP...
But let me explain whats the problem:
I have adsl router and need to dial pppoe connection to get out to the net. My ISP has locked routers default capabilities, which had setting up pppoe connection in the router so every thing that connets to the router could have easy exit to the internet (yeah, stupid ISP...).
So I've searched for the pppoe on the WM and found on this forum (i cant post the link?) app that can make pppoe connection on wm. Problem is that it doesn't work on my phone and feedback on it is pretty low.
So I've came up with another solution which needs a gateway function on my WM: I can dial a pppoe connection on my PC, share it, and then use my PC as a gateway to the internet by setting my PC's IP as a gateway on my WM phone. My PC is connected to the router by wire and hasn't got wireless adapter on it. Only thing wireless is a router... and a phone
I have found gateway option: (settings->wifi->network adapters->SyChip Jaguar->Use specific IP adress
BUT it doesn't work. I cant connect to the internet!
because I'm new to all this, is there something I'm missing?
I can ping my phones IP from my PC and my PC's IP with vxUtil and I've disabled firewall on my PC. In opera I've tryed all of connection tipes but I get "network problem". Also, I've configured my wireless conenctios as "my work network" and checked box under "This network connects to the internet"
Help?
PS
cracking a IPS's router isn't the option
Hi All,
I need some help with WIFI. I've set up my pc (connected via ethernet) to share internet via an Ad Hoc WIFI connection. The connection works but I have to manually connect to it every time. How do I make Android treat Ad Hoc networks same as Router based WIFI?
Thanks
I can't answer your question but I can, however, provide you with a possible workaround.
If you're using Windows 7, download and install a free software called Connectify. It turns your PC into a full blown access point. Just used it during a trip to share a hotel ethernet connection and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for replying. I heard about connectify but I use XP.
Hello guys.
Im having a problem regarding my SGSII connected on the internet via ad hoc.
My phone picks up the ad hoc connection and is able to connect to it. I am able to browse my folders via wifi file explorer but when I try use the browser on my phone nothing loads.
Things I have noticed is the Wireless network connection's IP address is not the same as my internet connection's ip address. I selected the "obtain ip address automatically option"
Internet sharing is turned on.
My internet connection is through a HSPA USB stick.
I have installed Lite'ning Rom 6.1 and the wpa_supplicant to enable my phone pick up an ad hoc network.
