I had to search for the answer and found it so I thought I would share for those who haven't figured it out and didn't want to ask. I have not seen the question come up but I'm sure there are some who just figured you cant do it.
U have to open port 5228 in your router configuration page. Instead of setting it for 1 ip unless you have a static ip set on your evo you can trigger port 5228 I had to type it in 4 boxes on the port triggering screen then save settings let router reset and you will be able to download apps from the market over WiFi instead of going thru 3g connection.
I know most probably searched and got the answer but like said it hasn't been brought up recently in the evo forum so I thought I would post to help out.

First: Yes i have a wireless router and no i can't set it up to be always connected to the internet as it is locked by my ISP, i need ppoe authentication on the device that wants to be connected.
Second: no i dont plan to buy another router
So is there any way for me to connect to the internet with my Galaxy 3?
I have been searching for it for a few months and nothing seem to be changing, still no way to conn, at least i think
I guess i should of have asked help i need a new phone to get some answers.
it`s not impossible
What model is your router? who is your ISP?.
Sounds like its in Bridge mode, some routers give no choice as they dont have NAT ability, however, post some info on that router/ISP first, ill get back to you.
I know that this thread will probably be over in approximately 3 posts, but I figured this was the place to ask to get a good answer.
I am part of staff for a site that uses my IP to enable staff functions. These functions are set to the IP I'm on. However, it never works considering my IP constantly changes when I'm on the T-Mobile network, and I do not have access to wifi. Is there any possible way at all, to be able to make this work, either from my N1, or on my PC using my N1 as a 3G hotspot? I'm not all that knowledgeable about networking, but I'm thinking there has to be some possible way to make this work somehow. Maybe I'm wrong and it is one of the impossible things to do on a cell network.
Thanks for any help.
how often does it change ? is the running at home or the pc u are tethering with it ? are you using a 3g network service for a server
Every couple minutes at least. One minute it's for example, something like 208.54.27.50 and in a matter of 5 minutes the last two digits could be changed. I use the 3G hotspot at home and there's no difference from that and using the phone's browser itself. I do not use T-Mobile 3G to operate any servers.
If it is via your provider you have no control over it changing as they assign you a dynamic IP. If you were at home you could set it to a static local IP (Over WiFi) but outside your LAN on T-Mobile's WAN you have no control over DHCP
All I use for internet access on the go and at home is the 3G hotspot that I get from my phone. Would I need an actual Wifi connection from an ISP other than T-Mobile to set it to a static local IP?
looks like that just cant be done.. either ur site changes ur auth to id pw based one(atleast in ur case)
or ..
if its a job of just checking somthing, u can find a friend or family member with a 24/7 online pc(with a a static ip) and just do the job thru a remote desktop connection
All right guys. Thanks. Very much appreciate your thoughts and for not flaming me due to an obvious answer. Thank you again.
This is an embarrassing question for two reasons. First, I’m sure it’s a simple answer that is just getting past me. Second, every search string I try comes up with dozens of pages talking about setting up Internet Sharing, none that I could find addressing my problem. After reading through numerous pages and double checking the terrific collection of FAQs that mmalka put together for the Rhodium Energy ROM, I decided to ask here.
My problem is with connecting to the Internet through a WiFi connection on my TP2 AFTER having used the Internet Sharing app.
I use WiFi at home all the time and I never have any issues setting it up after flashing – this time was no exception. It’s been working flawlessly since flashing the ROM in my signature several days ago. But I needed independent Internet access at work yesterday to test out a VPN/remote desktop connection on a laptop and decided to try the Internet Sharing app on our phones. VERY impressive! A couple of quick buttons pushed and viola’! Worked like a champ!
However, back at home I had trouble getting my phone to connect to my home WiFi router again. I discovered that when I tried turning on the WiFi, it was looking to be used as an Internet Sharing point again. So I deleted that connection (“forgot” it) and it successfully connected to my home WiFi router. However, it will not actually go to the Internet – everything faults out with “Connection is currently unavailable”. Switching to the T-Mo 3G connection, everything works great.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions short of a hard-reset?
Many thanks in advance.
Solved!
Well, judging by the number of looks with no reply, either this was a simple solution that I should have been able to easily figure out or no one else is having the issue to know what to do. But I finally figured it out and just in case anyone else eventually comes across the same issue, I thought I tell you what I found.
After digging around, I found that the Internet Sharing application changes the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter to a local IP address. So all I had to do was change it to “Use server-assigned IP address” and everything worked. (Settings tab, Wireless Controls, WiFi - Connect to WiFi Network, Advanced, Adapters and Networks, Network Adapters, edit Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter, Use server-assigned IP address.)
I have no idea whether going back to a standard wireless connection should automatically switch it back, but it doesn’t in my case. If anyone has a simpler way of address this, I’d love to hear about it.
Regardless, I hope this help someone.
Thanks

OK, so I stumbled into another revelation. It seems that if you remain in the WiFi Router application (or simply go back to it) and use the "Stop" command to discontinue the service, the Broadcomm Network Adapter does get reset to "Use server assigned IP address". The few times I used Internet Sharing, I was in other apps when I finished and simply turned off WiFi.
Oh well, live and learn.
I had a similar issue recently.
my new router was connecting fine to another mobile, but not my EnergyRom mobile.Thought it was my new routers band G/N compatibilty issue. however your post help remind me that i had used internet sharing on my HD2 for my laptop a few days earlier..Checked out my settings and well broadcom adapter was set to static at 192.168.1.1...switched it back to server assigned Ip and voila wireless is connected now
Really appreciate your post..Thanks so much for posting the solution, Gregb882
Hey guys,
Hopeing someone has some usefully information. I've been looking online and the forums for any help but haven't been able to find any answers that I'm looking for in reguards to the built in Wi-fi hotpsot for andriod 2.2.1 stock release. I use my hotspot at work a lot and was wondering if anyone knows of any ways to disconnected or premanently block someone off of my network. The hotspot doesn't seem to have any way of booting someone off of of my network outside of setting it to onle 1 connection available and hoping some **** doesn't beat me to the connection while my computer connects. Theres someone in the office that has their phone to just simply connect to any network I'm guessing and he continues to latch on to my hotspot even though its WPA encrypted. If anyone has any useful info or can recommend a program to use with an un-rooted phone I would be very thankful.
Thanks guys!
Does anyone have any info that can help me?
If your hotspot is encrypted, he can't use it. He can try to connect to it, but he won't get his network working.
And you can use the "Manage users" feature of the hotspot in Sense, and enable MAC address confirmation for each user - so he won't even get allowed to connect.
Well thats the thing, I've been looking through the manage users option and it only gives me the Mac address of the **** trying to connect to my network. It doesn't give me the option to do anything except "hers their mac and their ip" and most of the time it just shows "ip: not available" THere are only 2 options that I see and thats "Allowed users only" and "Max. Connections" Where in sense would my MAC filter option be available?
usb tether?
Before turning on the hot spot, go to portable wifi hotspot settings. There you can set it to where you need a password to connect to your network.
I use wep security. You can put whatever password you want.
hi everyone, some days ago I installed the virtuous 1.6, than replaced with a rooted stock 3.1. Since then, when I disconnect from my wifi for a while, getting far away from my router, it happens that coming back into the wifi field the tablet tries to reconnect but after 4 or 5 times it stops trying and tells me the connection is disabled. I see the dhcp service bouncing, no ip assigned. The only solution I've found googlin' around is to rename/delete the file dhcpcd-wlan0.lease in /data/misc/dhcp. It worked. but the issue got back again and again. I wanted to find out the cause and solve the problem once and forever, if possible. It's a pain in the... you know
Here is my topic. There is also one solution to it apart from the one you've found in google (which was probably my topic anyway ).
You're right, it'was your post. I've read it againg but I can't find out which could be the alternatrive solution. Keep in mind that when I got this wrong behaviour the first time obviously I invesitgated the possible causes, and I discovered the inability to retrieve a dhcp IP address either with my wifi router, with my wifi access point 3g and with a tethered connection via Iphone (all of them I normally use when I'm not at office). None of these would work until the uplisted file deletion). Would you be so kind as to suggest me, if you can, the possible solution in more detail (apart from performing a global reset that would be as annoying than deleting the file)
In any case, many tnx for your answer
Currently the common solution is to abandon the leaked 3.1 rom or put up with the bug.
Manually setting DHCP also works but it's usefull only if you'll use the tablet on one wifi. Else it's just a big pain in the arse.
I have same issue with the stock 3.1 rom.
At the end what I did was manually assign IP address for my iPhone's MyWi connection.
It seems mine has no trouble to connect to my home wi-fi network as well as work...
I also get that problem. But now, seems to have fixed it. I have done the followings:
- delete the dhcp lease file
- change the channel of my wifi router to 9 or below
- download the ad-hoc supported wpa_supplicant
Please try if above help you
