Rooted for Wifi tether: Trying to obtain IP address - Galaxy Tab General

Hey guys,
I have rooted both my EVO and Galaxy tab so I can wifi tether the Gal Tab,...all is well but the Gal Tab doesn't seem to want to connect it reads :Obtaining IP address from AndroidTether(adhoc)
I'm sure this is something pretty simple,...can someone help me out here?
Thanks

I can connect my tab to my tethering incredible with no problem. I assume the issue lies in your evo's tether app. Have u connected other devices?

Thank you for the response
I've tried WiFi tether and Barnacle both from the marketplace. Wifi tether just gives me the error mentioned above while Barnacle does make a connection with my Galaxy Tab but when I try to access the internet the pages will not load. Any ideas? Thanks again for the help.

Wifi tether is adhoc which the Tab can't connect to. Hotspot apps aren't adhoc which is why you can connect to those.

I've tried the hotspot apps but none of them seem to work. Is there a 'how to' guide here on the forums?

Atrix is awesome - mobile hotspot is divine!

All,
Got my atrix last night and I love it. I rooted it last night succesfully as well and now im on a ski trip with my friends.
Everyone is connected to my hotspot (including myself) and using their laptops as we speak.
The phone is amazing.
does the hotspot works on Adhoc mode(peer to peer) or infrastructure mode( Peer to router)???
via the built in hotspot it recognizes as infrastructure, which is great as my CR-48 would not connect to adhocs. If you use barnacle tether then it will connect as an adhoc network.
Thanks for the info

Wireless tether in AP Mode?

Hello, am wondering if there are anny possibility for Wireless tether in AP Mode
On the DHD?
The htc hospot app is adhoc right? is so i need Wireless Tether for Root on my DHD to be able to share internet with my tablets? but is there a Wireless Tether for Root that workes with DHD?
//Thsnk
Why doesn't the HTC Wi-fi Hotspot app do the job? It makes your DHD into a wireless router by sharing your 3G internet connection via wi-fi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWYIdr41bAo
I agree with the above post. The hotspot feature is painless.

Tethering Tablet to Phone

My phone is rooted, Atrix 4G, and I have tried using barnacle tether and wifi tether and I cannot connect to my TF.
How do I do this?
I understand it uses an AD-Hoc connection the tablet can use so maybe bluetooth or a hack?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093778
The TF will need to be rooted for this method.
I have no problem with wifi tether, its a true infrastructure network. Barnacle uses an ad-hoc network and the TF will not connect to that without the work above.
What kind of problem did you have with wifi tether?
I can easily connect to my rooted Nexus One running CM7. I just run the built in tethering and connect.
What ROM are you running? Try the built in tethering if you have it. I didn't have any luck running the market tethering apps.
I have a rooted Droid and am able to wireless tether via Bluetooth with no problem. I also understand that I can't wireless tether via wifi because the TF won't except ad hoc wifi, which is what Droid creates.
What I would like to know is if I can wire tether. I bought a 2.0 USB to micro USB with a 2.0 female to female adapter and using a wired tether app on my Droid. The TF doesn't see anything, doesn't even recognize it's connected to a USB.
Any thoughts?
I just set my HTC Desire to be a wireless hotspot and my TF connects to that just fine !?

I believe this is because your phone creates an infrastructure wifi whereas the Droid is only capable of creating an ad hoc Wifi. That's why I would like to know if wired tether is possible since it would be much faster than the Bluetooth tether.
Wifi Tether 3.0-pre 14 **Experimental**
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
This was my only solution. I'm using my rooted Cyanogen Nexus S 4g with my unrooted TF
Wondering if BT Tether will work?
I have an original Droid as well, rooted, using wifi tether. It creates an ad-hoc wifi connection. To enable the TF to connect to ad-hoc you have to follow the instructions in the thread I linked to above, this will allow the TF to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection. The TF will need to be rooted to accomplish this.
If your TF is not rooted, you will have to install Wifi Tether 3.0 pre-14 (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) on your rooted phone and enable Bluetooth tether. Then go into your Bluetooth settings on the TF and Pair to your phone.

[SOLVED] KF tether to Samsung Galaxy S2 via wifi

Having some trouble, and I think I've got everything right.
I have Adhoc Switch on the Kindle, everything seems configured correctly. Have Wifi Teather, v. 3.1 beta9 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Kindle is rooted with recovery, but stock ROM. Phone is rooted with recovery, but stock Rogers ROM.
I start the Wifi tether application on the Galaxy S2, and then run the Adhoc Switch on my KF to change from infrastructure to ad hoc, I have the identical SSID on both, no security (WEP etc.), and I can see that the KF tries to log into the phone via wifi, but it just keeps saying "Attempting". The phone has wifi turned on of course.
The problem appears to be on the phone side. I'm wondering if the Samsung Galaxy S2 does not support ad hoc connections. If not, I'm not sure what the wi tether application does.
Any thoughts?
I just realized that the Rogers i727R has mobile hotspots enabled on the Wireless Networks menu, so I don't think I need a third party wireless tethering app on the phone.
So I took off Wifi Tether, and just set it up on the Rogers menus, gave it the same name as on the Kindle using Adhoc Switch, put the KF into Ad Hoc mode, turned on the Samsung Galaxy S2 Hotspot, and the Kindle tries to connect, but same issue. Just says "Attempting to connect".
Doesn't make sense. The Rogers phone is a wireless hotspot, and the KF is set up in AdHoc mode. The KF sees the Samsung's hotspot, and tries to connect. No security used on either side, network is open.

Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried not using the KF in AdHoc mode now that you're using your phone's built in hotspot?
don't know about with phone but with hotspot and computer:
hotspot -> i use kf only (infrastructure mode)
thetering to notebook -> i use zt-180 adhoc switcher to switch to adhoc mode and have ssid and wep key set in the options of adhoc switcher
Boy, do I feel stupid. Worked like a charm.
So what is the purpose of Adhoc Switch on the Kindle? Why would you want to be in Adhoc mode?

Some phones only tether in AdHoc mode, which requires you to jump through all the hoops you did above in order to get the KF to connect. Luckily, you aren't one of them.
and on a laptop you can only actively build an adhoc network
I know changing the DNS to 4.2.2.2 and the alternate DNS to 4.2.2.1 helps out connection issues as well sometimes.

Is it possible, to be connected to a WiFi with your android device, and share it yourself while being connected to it? Because i can only share ADHOC over my laptop, which i can only connect to with my rooted android, and my new android phone cant connect to it... help please.

What exactly are you trying to do? Using something like "Wifi teather for root users" you should be able to set up your phone as a wifi router. Clients (your PC) would get internet access via wifi and your phones cell network connection.

Yep, so tethering will share your mobile internet connection (GPRS, 3G, ...) with other WiFi-capable devices like your notebook. And when tethering is on, you can't connect with your mobile phone to a WiFi network because the WiFi chip can only operate in "client" or tethering mode (as long as I know).
Anyone else think that wifi tether uses way for data than it should?
