Anyone use barnacle wifi and for it working?

Anyone using barnacle wifi on mytouch and able to actually tether? I know about wifi tether built into the phone or the wireless tether app. Those work fine, I want to use barnacle because of its open NAT. So no critics please. I just need someone that got it to work because my device can see it, but barnacle won't show me its connected or that its a client

I have it installed and configured, but can't get anything to connect to it. The SSID broadcasts, but it shows up as an available "device" vs. a wifi network. I try to connect by with and without WEP (Barnacle says it failed to parse WEP if security enabled), and it appears to connect, but Barnacle shows no client connections and no access from the other device.
Just using the android wifi tether app instead...

Hope it's not a (too) stupid question - with a rooted device, can I use the Wi-Fi Tether bundled app w/o the tethering option in my plan (read: for free)?
Thanks

Hi there
I use Wifi tether for root users, looks and works better than Barnacle
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Which version have are you using?
None of them specify MT4G.

I have a rooted Mytouch 4g running 2.2 and was able to get "Android-wifi-tether" working using the version for the Samsung Fascinate 2.x. Its the last option at the link h4xdaplanet provided.
I cant provide a direct link since I have a new account, sorry.

Thanks
I actually got this one to work a while ago but forgot to update

I am using to built in hot spot with no issues at all, before and after root. Not a stupid question. As long as you have the data plan, afaik, there is no current extra cost for using wired or wireless tethering. Hope this helps.

[Q] Wireless Tether not working (please help)

Okay, im super tired of having to reinstall the rom,apps,lwp, everything...
so every time i try to use the wireless tether app my phone reboots and does not pass the boot logo "acs" circle thing. please help.
I'm running 1.2Ghz syndicate rom 1.1.0 and honeycomb theme.

Same here. Wireless tether corrupted my data after reboot and i had to reinstall. It's probably a known bug...

are u using wifi tether 3.0.0 pres?
if so u cant start wifi tether with 4g on, u have to start in 3g then turn 4g on.
This build is also experimental and can be very touchy if u dont want to deal with it get the stable 2.0.7 build in the market or on the the code google wireless tether site.

I just wanna say thank you for the help bro.

Here my known corrupts I'm on srf 1.1.0 first don't start tether with 4g active.. fail.. second don't let phone die with tether active.. fail.. and the third time I'm unsure cause I've avoided it but it ruined everything when I answered a call while plugged in charging during tethering, when the call ended crashed and rebooted corrupt data. Other that that the 3.0 pre 11 that came on srf has been good

I was having trouble with my, WiFi Tether 3.0-pre11 app as well. It will allow my Window 7 laptop to connect without any issues but my iPad (1st gen) would not connect for some reason.
I searched the forums and found some people were having trouble with the WiFi Tether app and they suggested to try Barnicle WiFi Tether. It is a free app in the Android market place but it requires root access on your phone (Duh).
After installing and running Barnicle WiFi Tether I had no problems connecting my iPad. It may help in your situation as well.
Samsung EPIC 4G
SyndicateROM Frozen v1.1.0
Vision Kernel v1.1

Guys as started this is an experimental app. I use WIRELESS tether from app market, it is free and I can game online, talk on the phone and text all at the same time never having any issues. Check it out

Same here using wireless tether . It comes pre installed with the acs syndicate rom. Never had an issue always workd fine and I'm able too text and sure the web while its runing. Id suggest wiping evrything install acs . The no worries

Also have u tried geting rid of the theme? I'm thinking that could very well be your problem.

Couldn't get it to work.
I tried this but couldn't get it to work for me. What am I doing wrong? I booted into recovery and flashed the patch then rebooted. After the phone came back up I tried Barnacle Wireless Tether and Wireless Tether for Root and with both apps when I started them the Verizon WiFi Hotspot app came up so it was like 2 WiFi hotspot apps were running and conflicted with each other. Both Barnacle and Wireless for Root showed errors saying either the network was unavailable or "DHCP: Could not bind to DHCP port: Address already in use."
Am I confused about how to use this patch? After the patch am I supposed to use the official Verizon WiFi app (and it doesn't charge me extra) instead of the other hotspot apps I mentioned?
[Edit] Nevermind. I figured it out after reading Wug's entire post and seeing that I am supposed to use the beta Wireless Tether that is part of the patch (yellow icon) instead of the released Wireless Tether for Root (green icon) I already had installed. So it works great now.

Wifi tether

Not sure if i post this in right section,
Is it possible to tether my existing connection of wifi that im currently connected with my phone? Cause when i try to open wifi tether it shuts downs my wifi, and the reason is im getting signal at the on side of my house and on the other side which is my desktop+a wifi usb stick cant get the same networks, so i want to tether those networks tha im getting with my phone to my pc.
Tnx in advance.

Depend on the ROM U are using... I think so... With MIUI wifi-tether works

Wifi tether is for making your phone's 3G-connection available to your pc. I don't think it's possible to use the phone as a wlan repeater (correct me if i'm wrong).

[Q] CyanogenMod 10.1 and Wifi hotspots

I got a SGH-I337M (Canadian version of the S4) over the weekend, along with a Nexus 7 2013. On the S4 I installed the latest nightly of CM and everything so far works flawlessly (even the IR blaster!). My only problem is with the Wi-Fi Hotspot - I am trying to set up a hotspot using the S4, so that I can share it's internet connection with my Nexus 7 when on the go.
The wireless hotspot is created, and shows up in the list of wifi networks, and I even get an IP address when connecting to it. However, I get no internet access what-so-ever and I am confused as to what's going on.
Just in case it matters, this phone is from Rogers...
Anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm out of ideas!

Found another thread that advised trying to run:
ISWAT Tether Unlocker Free
I downloaded that from the play market, ran it and now it works! Once you've run it once you can remove the app from your device.
Tethering now works!
