Alright, here's my problem.
I don't have a wireless router, so I use my notebook to create a WiFi network (On Windows 7).
I have always been able to connect to the network on CM 6/7, but on OpenFire it won't find my network.
Any help?
Try using Connectify-Me. It may help. (Atleast it did for my iPod Touch, which couldnt find the WiFi network creatd using Windows, but, could find using the above said software)
Thanks!
I will try it out!
I just tried Connectify on CyanogenMod 7 and it just says ''Obtaining IP address''.
Then it removes the message, and it appears again as an endless loop.

Hi All,
I wondering if someone can help me out. I rooted my epic and installed the latest android wifi tether and everything seems to be going okay as I am able to start tether and see the normal tether screen displaying Download 0.4kB and Upload of 0.3kB.
However i am not able to see connect correctly on my laptop. In the laptop, under wireless network connections, i see EpicTether (which i choose as the ssid) but the icon (right of the word EpicTether) looks different than the icons from my home wifi router. The EpicTether's icon is three blue boxes in the shape of a triangle where my home wifi shows the normal guage of wifi connectivity strength. I am using windows 7 premium by the way.
I've tried changing the channels on the epic, tried enable access-control under settings to no avail...
can someone please help? thanks.
Android WiFi tether is an Ad-Hoc network (device to device), not an infrastructure network like your home wifi is. That's why the icon is different.
Why it cannot connect could be 1000000 different things. Is the laptop part of a company domain and its possible that policies are preventing connection to an AdHoc type connection?
Thanks for the explanation. so that icon is normal.
My laptop is not a company laptop, it is pretty basic for home surfing use.

"pretty basic" to me translates as "should connect" lol. Not sure where you should go from there. I have heard lots of windows 7 ad hoc issues though. Search around google for "Windows 7 cant connect to ad hoc" and see what kind of fixes you see.
Thanks again.... made some success...
i read that the intel drivers for the internal wireless card may need updated drivers for the ad-hoc....
installed the new drivers and am able to connect now!... but will not provide me internet access.
Restart the computer (usually works most times), and or try releasing and renewing I.P address.
I just got an HD2 (flashed windows 7) and when I try connecting it to my home network, it will say connecting and then after a while it shows "Connection Unsuccessful"
I have a linksys wrt610n router, and i even tried resetting the router but still the problem persists.
First I thought it might be a phone issue, but it was connecting perfectly fine to the local library's hotspot and a starbucks hotspot. So that means, it's definitely something wrong with my house network that it won't let me connect.
All the other devices : ipod touch, laptop, xbox 360, connect fine to the network.
Please help me with this issue, as I am using HD2 without a data plan so without wifi,i cant fully use the functionalities of hd2.
Thanks.
Is your ssid hidden? Wp7 has troubles with that, you could try the wp7 section without sounding cocky, there is a couple of threads mate about it, more help in there.

Yeah, even before flashing the rom the same problem existed. I think it's something wrong with my network, as I am able to connect perfectly fine with at a starbucks hotspot.
And no it's not hidden. The networks visible and the name of the network is with spaces -> cow boy , does that make a difference?
do you have mac filtering or anything turned on liked that in the router setup ??
do you have any crazy characters in the password like %^& ??? that could be a prob not sure also check these out looks like it could be a sd card problem, have you ever had it connect using android or winmo 6.5???

I use my laptop as a wifi hotspot. After install [TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.6.2] my HD2 cannot connect to it. Somebody help ?
Sorry for my english.
Did the Droid find the hotspot?
yes but i cannot connect to it. it not even show "connecting ..." after click on connect to my hot spot
sometimes you must unlock something in your router, or try to change wifi options in advanced, i dont remember how it was named but it was like you were choosing 11,12,13 streams, i think it was in advanced wifi options, but i remember i had the same problem on this rom with wifi, nothing just happens ;/ but now my wifi working fine all the time on coredroid (its not a advertistment )

Use connectify
set up and ad hoc connection, then connect through phone wifi. Open network and sharing in win 7 and set up new connection, choose ad hoc and follow the steps. I forget how in win xp but google is only a tab away

All are so much talked methods but none them worked. Have you tested these process in your phones???
I tried and none of them worked. Connectify didnt worked and AdHoc just reboot the phone while getting IP. In GDX, GingerCruz, GingerXperia and Ginger Cyborg. Hahahaha
Have any new idea?
i also tried to share my laptop internet through wifi with X8, but failed, i was reading a lot about this virtual wifi adapter on win 7 and i tried connectify, Virtual Router, mHotSpot etc ( almost everything possible, command line too) but no good result, but in Connectify i was able to established a wifi connection with laptop, and connectify software showed no errors, but couldn't load any web pages or market, there must be a error in somewhere and till today i couldn't able to find it.
Did anyone got this working successfully, please share it with us....
thanks

I use Kuyadroid and I used to get reboot when screen timed out on ad hoc but with newest version I have very fast and stable connection. I suggest you try it out yourself, it's cwm and xrec so easy install and OC to 691mhz gives smooth games and scrolling plus great battery life.
Set up an unsecured ad hoc network for testing and clear all your remembered wifi settings on x8.

ok, great news. i will try.
For almost any OS other than Windows 7 - you need to root your phone, add ad-hoc network support and create a shared wifi connection in your PC.
For windows 7, you can use virtualrouter to share internet with android -
How to share pc internet with android.
It would have been very easy if android supported ad-hoc. But unfortunately they don't (even iphone supports adhoc) and from various threads, they don't seem to have any plans to support it in future as well.

The best thing you can do is BUY a Wi-Fi router. They're really cheap now, and you can connect many things at them.
lols, did u all shared the lan connection to wireless one? and seem like mine rom also reboot if not active on wifi
Just use connectify ...
Easy set up ...
Im using it ..
Just need a little help, rooted a500 with TegraOwners ICS v164, have made an Ad-Hoc network with my windows 7 laptop, trying to share the 3g dongle i use with the laptop so that i can use the internet on my tablet. Just every time i try to connect to the ad-hoc network (the tab see's it fine) i just get stuck in a look "connecting" -> "Obtaining IP address" -> "Disconnecting" this looks forever..... Any Idea's? I have firewall in 7 turned off, didnt do anything, tried making a static it says its connected but no internet and i cant ping the tablet from the laptop so i guess it isnt really connected...
2, Since i cant get internet on the tab i cant install ES or Astro so i cant install any .apk is there a way to do this that i dont know about, or install them from pc vis USB??
TIA

Why can't you just use the dongle in your tablet? As far as I know, that tegra rom is supposed to work with several different dongles?
Also, do you have the correct wpa-supplicant file on your tab for ad-hoc?
have the e353 and it doesnt work with android i have the wpa file that comes with the tegraowners v164 rom, anyone direct me to the one for the iconia.
