Internet Sharing Question

Guys I have a Mogul and the $15 unlimited plan i called sprint customer care and inquired about tethering...They informed me however that I cannot. I attempted to do it anyway and got a user name and pw error. What can I do and is tethering possible?

Download and install the attached cab. Then open internet sharing on your phone, click conncet, then plug in yer usb cable to your computer. You will tether for free.

I tried this and get a invalid user name/password when trying to connect and it won't connect unless the USB is plugged in. Am I doing something wrong? Just updated to WM 6.1
And ideas?

When you open Internet Sharing program what options u get ? If you only get option using Phone As A Modem u need to edit registry HKLM\comm\internetsharing\settings
edit key 'ForceCellConnection' so it says 'Sprint PCS '

How would this work for Telus? (Canada)

Make sure you dont use PAM...phone as modem...they can tell when you are using this VERSUS using Internet sharing where the data connection is used. It appears that the phone is accessing the net for browsing on their end.

I have a verizon 6800 with DCD 3.1.5 and Internet sharing. I installed the WMModem as posted earlier. When I open Internet Sharing I press the connect, then plug in the usb cable. The computer sees the phone, but I get a message "Limited or No connectivity".
Under network connection Details this is what I get"
Physical Address 80-00-60-0f-E8-00
IP Address 169.254.66.5
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
My internet sharing works if I use WIFIRouter, but don't always want to use this. Any ideas why this does not work? I'm able to follow instructions, but not too smart with the lingo, so please be gentle?

how about alltel
will this work on alltel?

Not to sure about that DCD ROM version but you usually don't have to install that CAB as he includes that in his ROMs. That IP address is bad and that is why you can't connect. I have DCD 3.2.6 and all I do is run Internet Sharing and click on connect and then connect via USB and it works. At least for my XP machine. My Vista machine doesn't like my phone at all. I have even tried bluetooth and Vista is still having problems. Going to reload Vista again some day.
ruff_ryder, what ROM are you on? Did you try the CAB above to see if that works?

Other Setting
Don't you have to enable "Enable advanced networkfuntionality" under Start-Settings-Connections- USb to PC also when tethering?

Mine is checked so I would assume so as my internet sharing works.

Jambrose, thanks. I guess I'll just live with this, until I upgrade to DCD's new rom.

Alltel, Yes

Will this also work got BT tethering? USB is not an option for mac users as no drivers are available
EDIT: Confirmed it works with BT as well. However, the connection doesn't seem to be stable enough for online gaming. It works for a while, then randomly the game will stop receiving data. This might be Sprint trying to curb people from playing WoW on their network.

I think it may be in that case that it may be bluetooth, not sprint that's giving you trouble.

I'm kinda lost....all this started after I updated the ROM now to 6.1 or whatever but when I open internet sharing the only option I have is PC Connection:bluetooth or USB.. b4 I had that plus sprint pcs data package or PAM. What or how do I fix that?

i can't download the cab files
any body getting this page or msg?

App Connectivity Problem! like WebSharing, RemoteSMS.

Hello,
i cant get my apps like WebSharing, RemoteSMS, Remote Notifier to work. My phone says the service is running but i cannot connect to the address on my browser.
But the site works on my phone if i go to the address on my phone. So somehow i cant access the ip that goes to my phone. I can see my phone on my router page, but i cannot ping it.
Im using HTC HD2 with mattc's nexusleo 1.1
does anyone have any solution!?!?

i got the same problem here :/
RemoteSMS not working at the clients on my network
using HTC HD2 with OzDroid WinMo ROM, Radio 2.10.50.28_2 and MDJ_Gingerbread_HD2_v.0.9.1_Stock
but i got the same issue on several other winmob roms, radios and android builds

i have the same problem on my samsung continuum

i got the same problem in some roms
This kinds of app can use in a few Nand Android
I don't know what's going on /_\

I have the same issue with IP Webcam. It's something to do with Android security.
There is a workaround but it's not ideal in most circumstances.
Ping your device continuously; From Windows "ping <DEVICE IP> -t" all attempts will time out (this is normal) leave running...
Open web browser on device and browse to "http://<YOURIP>" You'll notice ping attempts above will start to reply.
you should now be able to connect to service on device.
I would like to see a permanent fix for this also, anyone!?

Please add ping (incoming connection) functionality to HTC Aria.

Hi,
When I try to ping my phone from the PC in a wifi network, it says Destination Host Unreachable.
Looks like this ROM (HTC Aria CM6.1.0 RC2) has disabled ping or incoming connection to the phone.
Is there any way, I can enable incoming connection through some port?
I really need it for applications like wifi keyboard (where i use the PC keyboard to type in the cell phone) to work.
Any help appreciated.

I believe I read somewhere that the Android debugger (ADB) allows you to make remote connects to a phone via an IP connection. Here's a link:
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-quick-app-adb-wireless
BTW, does the stock AT&T Aria ROM allow you to PING the phone via it's WIFI IP address?

You also can't even ping the device's 3G connection IP address to the outside world.
They need to open this up to the user's discretion imo.

Yes, I found a solution to ping HTC Aria from a computer using same wifi.
All you have to do is ping the HTC Aria from your computer infinitely (ie. ping -t <ipaddress>. Example is Below). At the same time, ping the computer from the Andriod Terminal in your HTC ARIA. You have to do this only one time. After the first time, your Andriod phone recognizes your computer and allows to ping.
2 Easy Steps:
1. Ping HTC Aria (in my case 192.168.2.2) using Windows. (Xp, Vista or 7)
ping -t 192.168.2.2
2. Ping computer's IP (in my case 192.168.2.4) from Andriod Terminal
ping 192.168.2.4
That's all in 2 steps.

Is it an extra security created by CM6 Developers or a BUG?
If it is, it is nothing but trouble to users.

yeep this was posted by someone on cm forums, then by me here...it's only a temporary fix though which is the annoying part...and any time you ask anyone why it's like that you never get an answer, the question just gets overlooked...really annoying to be honest...i typically use swiftp/filezilla to transfer files to and fro my aria and i have to do this everytime i want to do that...

Yeah, realized that later. I downloaded a ping app that keeps pinging, sort of a keep-alive way. Couple that with samba or websharing and the connection works. Slow as WiFi is. And then wakelock kept my phone awake even shutting samba down *facepalm*
What a pain in the arse this wifi sync/exploring is

Can't connect to HD2 through wifi from pc

Hi, I am trying to use some apps so I can connect to my HD2 through home wifi then use my PC keyboard to send sms etc. But no matter how hard I try it just doesn't work.
The phone says it is on 192.168.1.137 but I just can't connect to it in any way. I've tried EasySMS and now Myphoneexplorer (they are the only ones I can remember at this time)
Using the MDJ CyanogenMod 7 v2.6. connecting it it from a Windows 7 x64 machine.
Any help?

I have the same issue. So anybody can help ?

are you making sure you are putting the port number after the ip address? so it is : http://192.168.1.137:2511

Yes, tried both ways, with MyPhoneExplorer it even uses an app on my phone and the app on the pc to do it automatically but still doesn't work. I just want to be able to SMS with my keyboard!!

i installed that app this morning and it worked first time without any issues, are you sure there isnt something being blocked on the router end?

Or perhaps you have a firewall in place on your pc?

disabling firewall doesn't help.
What could be blocking it on the router? I'm not exactly a router expert, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be blocking anything internally, only stuff coming from the outside in?

Sorry for Double post, I just really want to get this sorted. But I had a look at my router and there doesn't seem to be any blocks in place. Is there anything I should be looking out for?

can you ping the phone? from the PC, in a dos window, type ping and then the ip address of the phone.
what is the result?
also try it from the phone to the PC (use the PC address, and you can use a terminal app to try).

I cannot ping my phone via network, so I cannot connect with any share-app also.
What's the problem ?

[Q] Upgraded MS2 Froyo to Gingerbread, now Mobile Hotspot doesn't work any more?

Has anyone got Mobile Hotspot to work on their MS2 after the upgrade to Gingerbread?
I've been having problems - Tte MS2 properly assigns an IP address to PCs that try to connect to it over WiFi, but the connection doesn't seem to go past my MS2 to the Internet. Same thing whether USB or WiFi.
I'm on T-mobile on the USA - could that have something to do with it, some kind of authentication is being performed now (that wasn't being performed on Froyo?)

I had this problem too.
Now I use the app "barnacle wifi tether" and it works fine.
I'm from Brazil...
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App

Thanks for the suggestion. If I root my phone I'll consider that option. Has anyone found any other fixes? I tried playing with the APN settings as suggested by some online, but it doesn't seem to help.

Usb sharing is f*d up - dnsmasq does not launches properly and phone gives no IP in response to dhcp req from pc. I don't remember, if setting an IP and gw manually solves the problem.
However launching _both_ sharing method at once helped. DHCP worked fine. Maybe launching wifi hotspot alone generates similar problem?

Did a factory reset and now Mobile Hotspot works!
Haven't tried USB tethering yet, will report back when I do.

Great! I also had this problem and this tip helped me.

Mobile Hotspot works but haven't got USB tethering to work properly yet. The computer can get an IP address from the phone, but no connection through to the Internet. This is after the factory reset.

Same with me here.. Already did FR but still no go..

Old thread I know but anyone sorted this yet, as its doing my head in, I even changed to a tethering plan in case i was being blocked.
Barnacle Tether doesn't work either same symptoms also says DHCP:Could not bind to DHCP port Address already in use

Could it be your carrier blocking 3G tethering?

Hi
3G tethering is not blocked by carrier as I am on a tethering plan and have spent a long time on the phone to an Indian call centre to sort it.
But joy of joys after trying everything I could think of including re-flashing and wiping all data etc. I have managed to get it working using wifi tether for root user
