Wifi Tether - Droid X General

I just rooted my phone and installed the Wifi Tether app thats so popular, off the market. Unfortunately, when I run it, and enable tethering, I can't find it on my laptop,or my other phone. Any ideas? Anyone else having issues?

Would love some help.

Even barnacle doesn't work for me!

So it seems that the droid x is just picky with what can connect to it. Fitting as I have issues with my droid staying connected to my wifi when saturating the bandwidth on the wifi (downloading from another computer on the lan). Anyway, its working fine right now between the dx and my hp netbook.

Just a heads up guys... it seems that after rebooting my phone, I'm able to tether again... I also noted that I havent ended any apps or anything. I also haven't enabled my wifi yet.

Exact same problem, Barnacle works sometimes, Android Wifi tether doesn't show up in Windows.
Works fine from my MT3G but not from my DroidX.
Barnacle is actually working pretty good right now. 1900Kb/s down just now with a solid connection for the past 10 minutes.

Wifi tethering to iPad?

I've tried both Barnacle and Android wifi tether, but neither seem to work with my iPad. Has anyone found a way to get either application working?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Tethering is not yet functional on this phone. It apparently is going to require a customized kernel.
Barnacle with the correct settings works for the most part on my ipad on 3g speeds. But still not able to get youtube or netflix.
So what settings are you using? I was only able to get non-3g.
Use channel 6 and make sure Skip wpa_supplicant is checked. Works mostly fine for my iPad. Can't really stream anything but I get decent page downloads and can do e-mail.
I'm using Barnacle after rooting and it works with both my macbook pro and the ipad. Using the specs in the Barnacle thread
Barnacle and iPad (iOS 3.2.1) wi-fi only. Works great.

Barnacle Legacy works. Why can't we get WiFi tether working yet or Mobile AP?
Alright, thanks for replying. I'm still having trouble with Barnacle, so I think I'll try the legacy version.

No version of Barnacle is working for me after updating today.

Wireless Tether

Hey guys,
I previously owned an htc hero and had a fantastic wireless tether app on the phone. I can't seem to find the app in the market and am wondering if i can find it somewhere on xda. I've tried everything i can find on the market but nothing seems to help. Barnacle Legacy tether works but then gives me a NAT error.
Thanks for your help.
You need to be rooted.

Has anyone tried this on froyo? I was hoping we'd finally get infrastructure mode but I still show up as ad hoc to my laptop.

It won't be infrastructure...for it to be infrastructure it has to be configured for it by the author specifically for each device. There are plenty asking for it from Droid X to etc so we are in a long line...just wait for Official Froyo so we can get MobileAP..

Z4root + wifi tethering not working right...

I'm kind of a noob to all this stuff so please go easy on me. Anyways, my phone wouldn't root on my laptop because the laptop wouldn't recognize it even after installing drivers and trying a million times so I couldn't root through that. So I turned to z4root which was a one click app root on the market...since then everythings worked good like superuser titanium backup etc. But for some reason my wifi tetherin won't work...any ideas?
It comes up as a network on my computer with good strength but when I go to connect it never does...
Thanks

No actually I have 2 laptops...one is running windows vista 64 bit which I was thinking might be a reason...and my other one is the Google chrome os cr-48 notebook...neither can connect :/...any other ideas?
Could it be a sucky root or something?
Thanks again...

Really? I haven't had any trouble connecting Windows 7 to my wifi tether.
To the OP, do you have access control on? If so, you may have to grant the computer access. Press menu, access control and select your computer on that screen, then apply changes. Hope this helps.

Why.don't u try mobileap? What wifi tether are you using? It wouldn't be your root. That has nothing to do with it. Your either rooted or your not.

Im not home right now but I definitely will when I get a chance...ive tried barnacle wifi and wireless tether...but that's what I figured "either rooted or not" :/
Anyways heres a few screenshots of what's happening...

Wireless tether 4 root and Xbox live

Just wondering if anyone else is using the wireless tether app for their 360? I didn't think it would work since it doesn't work for wii but I just tried to connect and it worked, been playing multiplayer halo reach on it all week!
*disclaimer need the new xboxes I think, but maybe old one with the wifi adapter thing
I don't have a wifi xbox, but when My internet was down once I used my phone as wifi for my laptop, then shared my laptop's interent via cable... worked fairly well.
actually, wireless tether 2.06 should work for xbox or wii... it's in infrastructure mode on these phones. On older phones (like I came from a hero) it could only do ad hoc
I've used it for my 360...mostly black ops..but it works

what am i doing wrong
i was hoping some one could help me out, or at least point me in the right direction here. I'm trying to connect through my droid x. It's rooted and i have wireless tether for root users. I've watched videos and read forums and followed them step by step. I've also tried pdanet and internet sharing through my computer and cannot get that to work either. Like i said i've watched videos and followed them exactly so i will take any help i can get. Thank you.

Are you picking up the adhoc network on the xbox?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
i can pick up my droid x's wireless network, or atleast it shows up when i scan for wireless networks. and when i try and connect it cannot connect to "androidtether" because it cannot find the IP addresses. so as for the ad hoc networks i'm not entierly sure. I'm kinda new at this type of stuff so you'll have to fogive me. But under configure connections it shows up as "infrastructure" as other forums has said it should.

Wifi tether

I tried to tether with my evo using hot spot and wireless tether with no success. It works on my laptop but not on the zoom. Has anyone got it to work on zoom using evo? If so what settings?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
A friend of mine tethered off his stock evo just fine, no issues. Dont know his settings though, but since you can only select the security type, cant be much.
Works fine for me running xoom and evo unrooted. The xoom can't tell the economy from any other wifi but my second settings are just a standard named wpa2 set hotspot. Dhcp on, always in. Everyone in a while the xoom freaks out when the evo swaps between 3g and 4g but at worst in disable and re enable wifi and I'm fine. My second switches often since we don't officially have 4g in Columbus Ohio even though I have had signals most of the time since like last August.

Mine works perfectly tethered to my Evo running CM7.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Not sure if this was resolved, but I tether off of my EVO regularly, running CM7 stock.
OP, what setup are running on your EVO?
Swyped from my EVO
From what I gather, CM7 on the Evo has infrastructure mode wifi tether by default so Android devices shouldn't have any problems seeng the SSID (as opposed to Adhoc).
Also, the latest wifi tether version (direct from the code.google.com website) now does infrastructure mode, so you shouldn't have any issues as well.

I am running my 2.2 rls5 and I cannot get it to work. It seems to be a issue with the ad hoc network. I have tried several wireless heather apps including barnacle and others. Nothing works. May have to take zoom back if I cannot tether.
I tethered my XOOM to my EVO running CM7 RC4 just fine and dandy. No problems here, move along.
Im not using the Evo but the Samsung Epic.....WAY better phone, screen is 312x better, no HDMI out but the qwerty more than makes up for it.
The biggest downside I am finding is that using the FREE wifi apps, rather than the paid ones, i find it difficult to connect to my Sprint data network on the Epic with my Xoom. I am able to connect with my Epic to the Xooms network, but it only has 1gb and it costs money to go over. I have unlimited on the Epic, but I can only tether with Mac and Windows, and some odd distros of Linux that use older wifi network managers that were compatible with ad hoc networks......No luck getting the Xoom to connect the Ad Hoc only wifi hotspot that I am able to get using free third party apps.
Using the paid app works fine, but not with the app called Wifi-Tether, or Wireless Tether.

Are you using a paid tethering app, the official included tethering app, or a third party free app that requires rooting? Are you specifically using "Wireless Tether"?
If not, then its not really relevant to the OP.
