I live on campus and I get internet through residence...
I set up connectify on my computer so that I can use Internet on my phone as well.
Has anyone tried this??
On my x10, it says it's connected, but I can't load any pages (Web page not available...says the browser) and when I look at the connectify panel, under Connected Clients - 1, it's got sony logo and says <Connecting...>
I'm not sure if it's because my wifi card doesn't support it? (but it says all do..hmm)
or if it's my phone? My phone's always had problem with wifi 'outside home'.. Like the only wifi I would be able to use would be a secure wifi through my home router. I haven't been able to connect to any 'public wifi' like at cafe or restaurants...
If anyone's used this and knows how to fix the problem it'd be great... thank you!!!
(or it could be that my school's lame and they block any internet connection through personal hotspots )
Same happened with me on my network. I have tried it on my friends laptop and it worked just fine but i wasn't able to connect using my own laptop( on my home connection which got a windows server machin ).
I'm just guessing it was caused by my windows server machin and some firewall setting that i couldn't adjust.
By the way i just the exact same problem as yours, phone keep showing that it's connected and couldn't open anything and Connectify keep saying connecting.
sorry for my bad english.
I had the same issue, it was a firewall thing. I emailed Connectify and was told
"At a minimum, DualServer.exe (ConnectifyNetServices.exe in 2.1 Beta 1) needs to be allowed to access the network, and ports 67 and 68 for DHCP, and port 53 (DNS), as well as 1317, 1318, and 1303 (internally used ports for DHCP and DNS), need to be open. Connectify 2.1 Beta 1 will try to configure Windows firewall to open all necessary ports."
Currently i have just disabled windows firewall and all works fine (I have a hardware firewall between me and WAN).
I had the same problem with my x10. It kept saying connecting. I contacted the developer, they asked me to use beta. I just installed beta and every thing is fine now...

this version didnt work for me but the 2.2 version works for me, My phone is Xperia x10 mini 2.1
Using HP Pavilion DM4, I can use connectify and my X10 gets internet access...not sure what's your problem though.
I use Connectify on my Win7 PC too, sometimes, out of the blue, while I am connected and loading pages, it stops, even though it is still connected.
I find that killing the app and the process on my PC and then opening the app again, fixes the problem.
Connectify is very buggy but incredibly useful when it works right, imho.

I used to be able to tether using my old ROM as well as the "un-official" new ROM versions prior to the recently released ROM update dated 4/09/07.
I use Missing Sync (ver 3.0.2) on OS X, and it would allow me to tether the 8525 using internet sharing set to USB. Now the only way I am able to tether is via the Bluetooth PAN, and even then the connection is spotty at best.
Did the official ROM change the way Internet Sharing works? This is very annoying and any assistance or ideas would be welcome.
I downgraded from the CUSTEL 2.5 WM6 ROM due to Missing sync's inability to sync with it as well as an inability to tether my Mac. Vista using Bootcamp works but Vista isn't my cup of tea...
Soon...
In a couple of weeks time you will have a solution to your problems with Apple OS X and Microsoft Windows Mobile. (Hint: it's not free.)
I am assuming that this would the much anticipated Missing sync update. If only I could shorten the wait... oh well.
Thanks.
Not really. Trade your 8525 for the iPhone!
bluetooth pan
something must be wrong with your phone because I use Bluetooth pan with internet sharing at work, in my car, at home and it works just fine. I even thought about ditching the Internet at home

I do it too. All the time. Is AWESOME from the car, especially in a a 3G area. (Parked, not driving.)
i can't even connect my 8525 to my mac via bluetooth. it worked once and now the phone won't open up the passcode screen to connect.
edit: my rom is version 1.34.502.3. should i update to a newer one?
I think its the location that I am at that may be to blame. I have a really slow connection via Bluetooth PAN. The same isn't true when using Vista and Internet sharing via USB - that connection is much faster (though it too blanks out at times).
As for connecting to OS X: simply start the Bluetooth setup assistant on the mac and search for "any device". Then select the phone and pair the two. At the very end of the process the Mac will list the services that are available via the phone. One of them will be the shared network.

yeah, it stalls after i select it from the device list. the screen where it gives me the passcode to connect it, it seems like my phone doesn't receive it. not sure. but you think i should upgrade the rom? looks like mine is kinda old.
I'm posting with OSX using my phone right now
delete the bluetooth pairing on the osx machine and on the phone
from osx bluetooth assistant and select any device
if it asks about using the phone as a headset disselect that
if the phone once pairs asks about a serial device do not select that
verify if bluetooth still is on on the phone
goto internet sharing
bluetooth pan
connect
make sure its actually connected to the internet
on the osx machine click the bluetooth icon again and select "join network on ___your phones name____ "
thats it!
sometimes give it a second
if it still doesn't work make sure you don't have some kind of crazy firewall setup
using Custel's 2.5 rom (windows mobile6)

Hi,
Some weeks ago I tryed to use MissingSync for internet sharing with different WM6 versions without success. With official AKU3.3.1 version it works with the USB cable. But battery life is very short with this version.
Regards.
Yes, missing sync does not yet support WM6. Try the "normal" bluetooth pan method described above.
Anyone tried doing OS X tethering with newer versions of the WM6 roms?
I'm currently running vp3G 2.0 (WM6), rom date 5/15/07, radio 1.40.30.00, protocol ver. 32.73.7020.16H
Because I'm working offsite tomorrow, I was hoping to use my phone to tether my laptop to work with VPN on the laptop... and then I can login and out of the timeclock, etc. But trying it from work tonight before I leave, I can't get the bluetooth on my 8525 to connect to the PC.
Followed Neomuzic's instructions to the letter, but Safari isn't getting things working. Any assistance would be appreciated!!!
Nevermind... I'm a dork! Figured out where Internet Sharing was on the phone, and all is well. Having a little trouble connecting to my work proxy server... but messing with that now.

As of August2007, Missing Sync 4 supports WM6.

Hello all,
I usually dont post much since i rarely have anything to contribute, but this time I do. I am running a macbook connected to my cingular 8525 thru the bluetooth pan and have zero problems. I upgraded my rom to the new vp one with all the latest settings and love it. No more looking for a hotspot for me. I dont use safari broswer on my mac, i use firefox. Thanks to everyone on this forum with the knowledge and time for helping the rest of us.
What i do is connect my JasJam to xp running through parallels, start internet sharing and it installs the drivers(first time of connecting it) and then it works perfectly everytime. Only in xp though.
I have installed the latest missing sync but havent tried internet sharing on mac osx but now that u guys say it works thats awesome! Will mess with it later (knowing me i won't attempt to get it to work until i'm off in some foriegn area with no internet connection and will need to download drivers that i'll struggle to get through pie/opera on my jasjam...) i fail to plan ahead with things like this! lol

Tethering 8525 to MACBOOK. HELP.
I tried several different approaches to tether my 8525 to my MACBOOK, with no success.
I have specific scripts from the web installed into the modem scripts folder. No luck with any of them. I believe the scripts aren't the problem but the COM ports are the culprit.
I recieve an error message that says," Failed to open RFCOMM serial channel. Check if authentication needs to be enabled in your device"
This is after pairing the 8525 to the MACBOOK and completing the blue tooth setting in the Network folder in the System Preference folder.
The pairing is successful because I can "send files" to the 8525 via blue tooth icon.
I read somewhere that the MACBOOK should allow me to set and choose COM ports but I haven't found the option.
My question is where do I find the COM port option in the MACBOOK because I believe that is where my problem is.
MACBOOK C2D, OS 10.4.10.
8525 ROM: 2.15.502.3

Hi, I installed the HTC Wifi Tether app on a stock US HD2 Rom, but none of my devices can get an internet signal - sometimes I can see it and it says connected, but web browsing does not work.
I used wifi tether on my G1 for the last year, so I thought this would be as easy - no luck so far.
I also tried the WMWifiTether app, but with the same results.
Any help is appreciated - this is somewhat of a deal breaker for me if I can't get tethering working. Thanks

Uninstall that app. Install "omarket" from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/omarket/
Install "Mobile Wi-Fi Router"
It will be listed under: Settings-->Menu-->All Settings-->Connections-->Wifi Internet Sharing .
This works perfectly on my T-Mobile US HD2. )
p.s. If this does not work, you may have some crap from the HTC wifi app still sticking around. Do a factory reset and install the omarket app.
Wi-Fi Router works fine for me.
T-Mobile UK has Wi-Fi Router as app in start menu.
Works perfect wit my Windows Laptop and my MacBook Air despite T-Mobile saying the HD2 won't "tether" with Apple (and it doesn't).
I ran 3 PC's from just the one phone, amazing, even managed to watch some catchup TV on MacBook using Wi-Fi Router. Just set it up on the phone and then simply look for wireless point... your own WiFi Zone.

I tried that, I tried changing the name o fhte network, and I have soft and hard reset between installing different wifi tether apps. Same thing every time - my pc will see it, connect, but no internet. My other device can sometimes see it, sometimes not. I'm at wit's end, because I can still use the same account with my G1 to tether, and that works flawlessly. This and other problems I am having with the HD2 make me feel like I am in microsoft bug territory now. ugh. With any luck, we'll have either windows phone 7 and / or android soon.
Make sure there's no spaces in the wifi network name and make sure your computer is set up to take a DHCP address on wireless rather than static.
So the situation is I am renting and using the wireless network in the house (Router is upstairs). My laptop connects fine but my phones internet is laggy sometimes because the router is kinda far. So im wondering if I could connect my phone to the internet via my laptop.
Windows 7 and my laptop is connected to internet VIA wifi so I dont thin Ad-Hoc will work...

Yep, Microsoft recently added support for virtual routers

Just install that app, you will be up and running in minutes.

Thanks man, this is great.
BTW, what version are you using? Cause I downloaded the newest version and it wouldn't work so I downloaded an older version v1.2 and it worked. Seems like its a known problem.
Im using 2.0.1
I seem to remember that i had trouble to start with but it was windows firewall misbehaving.
can use that too? i am using windows xp and i have internet from USB stick - can i make a wireless network so my phone can use it too ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
it seems it is for windows 7 only
any other aplication out there that can do this with XP ?
Im afraid its only compatible with vista onwards ...
EDIT: You should be able to set up an adhoc connection with your phone though

Hey everyone,
I've tried all of the tethering apps (usb/wifi) and none seem to give my laptop my legend's 3g data connection. I'm running CM7 (new stable version ) and i've been trying to use the built in hotspot to no avail. I can connect fine, even with WPA2 security, and the laptop connects fine (win7), and even shows full bars on the wifi icon in the bottom right of my taskbar, which says "Internet Access" when my mouse hovers over it.
The problem is, whenever I fire up chrome on my laptop, I get a page that says stuff like "Access denied", "authorization required", "You may need to sign in", and just gives no internet.
At first, I thought that it could be my carrier's fault (SFR France), that they don't want me tethering my phone's connection (I have a contract with unlimited data). The weird thing is, I can actually use gmail on my laptop! Yes, fully load new messages as they come, look through my archived messages, trash, spam, everything. Not even offline messages, it's really connected. So why can I access gmail on my laptop but nothing else? Could it be something to do with https connection to gmail or something like that? My phone's 3g works great, and my laptop has no troubles connecting to my home wifi. I've scoured XDA and google, and never figured it all out.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Michael
Troubleshooting 101:
- first, please try another laptop.
if the other laptop works, then your current laptop has issues.
My bad, I meant to include in my first post that i've gotten the same result with 3 different laptops.
Have you tried pdanet app? That's what I use and it works wonderfully.
Sent from my CM7 EVO using XDA App
yeah man that was one of the first ones i tried. no go for me, same issue (not connection, but internet access).
When I try to open a page, my phone shows that it starts to download data (with the arrows lighting up and the "H" for HSDPA in the status bar). But then stops and my browser says nope.
tried changing DNS, for instance to googles own (8.8.8.8) on the laptop?

How do I change the DNS on my laptop? Don't I need to use cmd for that?
And an interesting new development. Hopefully someone smarter than me understands this:
I've now tried 4 different sites that fully work! The thing is, they're all https sites, which all the other one i tried weren't. Just to let you know, the 4 confirmed funtional sites are:
gmail
google docs
dropbox
android market (in pc browser version, not on my phone)
So its GOT to have something to do with the https...
Any ideas?
Thanks

He meant you should use the built-in WiFi hot spot in CM7, but you said you already did so in the first post...
about your problem, can you browse http (not https) websites in your phone's browser?

Absolutely. I've not run into any problems viewing any webpage on my phone, http or https, both on 3g and wifi (except for flash not really working, but that's beside the point).

Well, I have Windows XP and I don't have experience with Windows 7, but I remember that since Vista the network connections can be set as Home connection or Public (or something like that).
It's a wild guess but maybe the problem with browsing to HTTP websites has something to do with these network settings in Windows 7...
Try to compare the settings in the Home Wifi connection in your laptop vs the Mobile Wifie connection in your laptop, maybe some settings are different between the two.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that doesn't change anything. I definitely know what you're talking about, and everytine I connect to a new wifi network I always select home as the network type, so that my browsing isn't restricted. Hence I did the same here, and even tried the public option, but no effect.

Yep I tried usb tethering, same deal. Windows troubleshooting "couldn't identify the problem". It's gotta be something either on my carrier's side, my phone's side, or my laptops side that is restricting hotspot access to http sites.
Try to use another browser app.
I ever had this problem on chrome, so i use firefox and it's working now.

So I'm trying to connect to my university's Wifi. I have to put in a username and password to get in (WPA-2 Enterprise secured). I can connect fine with Windows 7, but it's not working in Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Also, I tried connecting to my school's public wifi. Windows 8 says it is connected, but every time I open up Internet Explorer it crashes. The only way I can get online is tethering through my phone. Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks

Do you know if your University is using Cisco? I've seen this issue on both Win8DP and CP with Cisco Wireless Networks using the above authentication methods. Don't have a fix yet, however I've got one of our network guys looking into in his spare time (not a high priority being a Beta build)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure its Cisco. Oh well, I'll just be patient. Thanks!
