[REF] i9000 tethering mac - Galaxy S I9000 General

My partner still uses apple mac's and was using the wireless tethering from her i9000. But this is not as fast as wired tethering as I'm sure we all know.
Problem was I couldn't get it to work just kept discounting on every attempt.
I found the problem was that i had usb tethering clicked.
This must be for windows only.
As long as you have usb debug on it will work.
settings are
telephone number
*99# ( to get a hash on a mac press ALT+3)
user name
user
password
pass
then click on advance
select device as samsung
then next box put gprs/3g
the apn i put in was for t-mobile uk
general.t-mobile.uk
this can be found in the phones apn settings.
click apply and then connect and should work fine.
hope this helps anyone.

U r a f***ing LEGEND!!!! thank you so much. All i was missing was the username, password, not ticking tethering and enabling debugging, genius

WiFi Connecttion

Hi Everybody!
I'm looking for some help with connecting to my home WiFi.
In settings, netwok card, I can see my home network.
I use a netgear router with WEP security.
I just can't seem to connect and I can't seem how to input my WEP acces passkey too?
Thanks for any replies
{>
In settings, wireless lan, advanced it states that I am connected to the network, but I still can't connect when using IE?
the message reads : " U~nable to obtain a server assigned IP address . . . etc"
Do you have DHCP enabled on the wireless router? Have you used the wireless network with another device?
Mmm, very good question!
The answer is "don't know". Will check and let you know Syn.
Will start again.now that I have managed to "flash my rom"
Well this is what I have :
Wireless Network
Name (SSID):
Region: --- Select Region ---AfricaAsiaAustraliaCanadaEuropeFranceIsraelJapanMexicoSouth AmericaUnited States
Channel: 01020304050607080910111213
Wireless Access Point
Enable Wireless Access Point
Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)
Wireless Card Access List
Security Encryption (WEP)
Authentication Type: AutomaticOpen SystemShared Key
Encryption Strength: Disable64bit128bit
I have added the device to my wireless network list with the MAC address
Signal is VERY GOOD!!!
Am I missing out son some settings?
{>
I've tried to set up a new connection as Internet Explorer tells me it cannot connect with the current settings?
What settings do I need?
I have entered the WEP key, and I don't use passwords on my wifi system??
{<
Do I need an IP address?

First things first, forget the PDA for few moments and lets establish what is going on with your AP. The question that [sYn] has asked is very important - do you have DHCP enabled on the AP. The answer you posted is meaningless as it only shows the options and not the current config. Interrogate the AP and look for where the LAN side DCHP option is and make sure it is set to ENABLE or ON or whatever positive indication is used.
Once you are sure this is configured (ideally tested with a PC) then go get your PDA and try connecting again. If it still doesn't work disable all the security and encryption settings and turn off that stupid MAC address authentication which, by the way, is pointless. If needs be do a factory reset on the AP. With no security enabled try conecting the PDA. It more than likely will connect now. Once it does start building up your security one layer at a time making sure you test at each stage. Can I suggest that you forget WAP and MAC authentication and use a WPA Pre-Shared Key instead as this provides bucket loads more security.
Hope this helps.
JT, thanks for all your help!
I use a netgear router. Whilst awaiting a reply here I did a bit of research and took of the security of my router. I then connected my device using a shared key (I have always had this) and then put the security back on.
I had to reconnect my laptop too. I think the reason isthat the router was set for an automatic setting and I chaned this to an open system.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP !!!

WM6 + Wifi - WPA+TKIP

I have a wifi router at my office - Netgear, I am using WPA-TKIP as security options, the problem i am facing is - i have setup a passphrase on the router, but on phone, it just asks for network key, i need a way to enter a pass phrase, are there any updates to wifi for WM6 which can help me to get out of this situation?
I cannot change my existing WIFI settings on router, my other machines and devices are using the same configuration and now if i change it to WEP or something else, i will have to upload all other machines.
I cannot move to an open system as well.
please help
wpa without wpa-psk wont protect your network from being used by other ppl. i suggest u to choose wpa-psk (pre-shared-key). u choose a password and it is easy to setup for the other clients on your wireless lan. just enter password one time on the other clients and they are online. and wpa-psk works with wm6. greetz spaxxi
Where it says Network Key is where you enter the passphrase as used on your router.
On my SPV E650 (vox) I have WPA-PSK with data encryption set to TKIP
Use IEE 802.1x network access control box ticked and EAP type as smart card or certificate.
Also I have set networks to access as All available but on my netgear under wirless settings I have set up enable access list with the mac of the phone (which you can get from connection settings or with wirless on the phone switched on the router should detect the mac from phone broadcast which you can then accept as a trusted station.
This means only my phone can connect to the router even though my ssid is broadcast.
Hope that helps.
MrMond
the sip client you have works
w pa-st k is the best most efficient way to run and your net gear has 3 different ways in but the paraphrase is fine. use the para phrase where it says key go right through it, if i recall the client has ports but ur going direct you dont need it. Your just and to log into your router regular client is for web based app go right at the router use wififofum and then just make sure your sip is on meaning registry is live dont worry about the settings. Let me try to make sense all next ell are voip just an ip i don't care what anyone says. your do not need a web based sip just leave the sip alone but try activating it remember it a phone turn it on but 1 thing give out static ips u will succeed. static wpa-stk intra net ur just taking to the device no need for any barriers. you could hook up computer up slap head phones and a mic in the analog jacks from the 80's and you have no succeeded in ? Voip. all that matters is the router is set right and sees only you for the duration of your call. Most likely wil end up turning that whit wpn8xxx into a access point have fun don't ask. But it only took me 3 hours to realize i left to come back into my office for what a paid for call. And the day wireless is everywhere i will be a lan expert.
ciao good luck don't orry just look at it and you will see what makes sense.

Elfin can't connect to belkin N router

Hello... Got a Touch recently, and doing research found this forum. One of the best findings lately for me: already flashed the phone with a WM6.1 ROM and updated my radio successfully. But I have a problem (even before the flashing):
I can't connect to my wifi. I have a belkin N router. Have tested almost everything: updated the router's ROM, updated the phone's radio, turned off security, assigned manual IP's, etc, but with no success... so I'm running out of ideas. I can connect to another people's wifi's tho.
Anything I have missed? Just an incompatibility? (which means I'm screwed)
Thanks a lot
is t on n only mode?
touch is g/b as u probably know
if not, try with no security to see if it connects
Yeah, it is in a multiband setup (g/b/n).
Also tested with no security. No sucess.
I have the same problem, I'll let you know if I find a solution.
Same thing... I'm trying to figure out a solution, any findings, will post here.
I tried to connect my Touch to my old netgear 802.11b router at home without any success. I did a lot of "googling" on the subject, and only found that many concluded that it wasn't possible to do so.
Also, I have AT&T, and they are offering free hotspot WIFI connectivity to their customers (which is intended for laptops). My touch detects the WIFI signals, but I have yet to find out how to make a connection.
It seems like there should be a way to do it somehow though!
Anyway...
Best Regards!
pl, when you go into your Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi, can you see your wireless network being detected?
The only things that spring to mind at the moment, are the basics for normal connection ...
1. Network type (B/G/N)
2. Authentication (password)
3. MAC Filtering
Here's what I would do ...
1. Reset router (usually has default button at the back).
2. Set it up for DHCP (sometimes cures a lot of problems).
3. Set simple WEP with password.
4. Obviously a network name (make sure it is not hidden, also make sure AP is enabled)
5. Set channel
6. Set mode (Network type) to mixed.
7. Save and reboot.
8. Soft reset Touch
9. Go to Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN
10. Activate Wireless and see if your SSID (network name) pops up. From here you can see signal quality and IP (to make sure you got it from DHCP).
Give it a shot and let us know what happens.
same problem here, really annoying!
Strange, I have never had problems with mine (had it connected to a couple AP's already). In fact, it's easier than connecting my laptop to a WLAN.
You have anything else that can connect to your Router? pc or something.
My Touch can connect to other routers, and I have 2 PCs at home which connect to my Belkin N router, I just can't connect my Touch to it.
I found a solution
Customer Call Details Nov 13 2008 04:37
I have an HTC Touch that can connect to other hotspots, but not to my home Belkin router. Sometimes, if there is another connection available, it can see the router, and says that it is Available, but cannot connect; other times it won't even see it. I have checked for firmware updates, but I have the latest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Belkin Response Nov 14 2008 22:18
Hi Lilburd,
Thank you for contacting Belkin Technical Support.
We understand that the HTC Touch does not connect to the router. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Please follow the steps given below to update the firmware and configure the router:
We recommend that you update the firmware from a computer that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Please download the latest firmware on the router from the link given below. Download the file "3.01.29":
http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=10288&scid=0
and save it to the computer.
- To update the firmware, log on to the router`s web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1 in the address bar of the browser. The computer should be
connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Note: If you have changed your Router’s IP address, use that IP address.
- By default, the password is blank. Click the "Submit" button.
- Click on "Firmware Upgrade" under the option "Utilities".
- Click on “Browse” and select the bin file that you have downloaded.
- Click on “update” and follow the wizard.
- After updating the firmware, restore the router to factory defaults by clicking on "Restore Factory Defaults" under "Utilities".
- Reconfigure the router.
Please follow the steps given below for configuring the router:
- Connect the computer to the "LAN" port on the router and connect the modem to the Internet/"WAN" port, using Ethernet cables.
- Take a paper clip, insert the paper clip in the reset hole of the router and hold it for 15 seconds.
- The power light will flash and then come back "ON" solid, indicating that the router is being restored to factory defaults.
- The corresponding lights on the front of the router should be lit up.
- On the computer, check if you have an IP address in the range of 192.168.2.x.
- If not, specify a static IP address, gateway and "DNS" address by following the steps given in the link-
http://web.belkin.com/support/kb/kb.asp?a=2824
- Log on to the router web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1, in the address bar of your browser.
- By default, the password is blank.
- Click on "Connection Type" in the left hand column under "Internet WAN" heading.
If the connection type is Dynamic (cable):
- Choose "Dynamic" and then click on "Next".
- Type in your “Host Name”, if your Internet Service Provider has provided it. Else, leave it blank.
- Click on "Change WAN MAC Address".
- Click on the button "Clone".
- Click on "Apply Changes".
If the connection type is PPPOE (DSL):
- Choose "PPPOE" and click on "Next".
- Enter the user name and password given by your Internet Service Provider.
- Save the settings.
- Click on the "Home" link at the top of the screen.
Internet Status should show "Connected" on the top right hand corner of the web page.
If the problem persists, please get back to us with the following information:
1. Type of connection provided by your ISP (Is it PPPOE, Dynamic or static).
2. Name of the Internet service provider (ISP).
3. Version number of the router. You would find the version number on the bottom of the device. It would be a number in a series of thousands with a prefix “ver.”.
4. If the internet connection is stable on the computers using the router?
5. If the HTC Touch detects and connects to other networks in the neighborhood?
Lilburd, if you need further assistance please feel free to write back to us and we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
Belkin Technical Support.
That really is strange. The way I see it, WLAN is a standard. It's like BT, any headset should work with any BT phone, as would any wireless device work with any wireless device
Maybe force the router to only broadcast in G (or even B) and see what happens? (I know, I'm reaching now )
Tried everything so far, no success. Even with no security enabled.
same problem here, Very Annoying, tried every thing
HTC Diamond doesnt connect to WiFi!!!!!

Utter nonsense...
I just got my Touch Diamond from Sprint and am having the same issue. I have a Belkin N+ Router that is in g/b/n wireless setting.
The phone just simply will not see the SSID even if you put the settings in there manually. What it does see however is the guest SSID my router emits and connected to it without any issues. The guest account is a feature of my router gives friends access to the web but denies access to internal network.
Out of curiosity changed my routers wireless bands to only G/B and all of a sudden my phone can see the network. Unfortunately for me I rely on the N part of my network to connect my laptops and do streaming HD so leaving it on G/B is not acceptable.
I just connect via the guest account, anyways its not like my phone would have been able to see the internal home network anyways.
Just my 2cents
I have the same issue.
Used to use a D_Link G router, but recently upgraded to a belkin N-draft one.
My laptop connects on G, and my desktop on N, so I can't switch N off and just use G.
Anyone found a solution yet? It's bugging the hell out of me!
I posted a fix on page one that should work. You have to update your firmware.
Did u all using any encryption security?
128bit WEP - touch have a problem of connection
64 bit WEP - works
have you enabled easypairing, (WiFi easypairing : Enabled) if so turn it off or press the required button sequence on the router to connect.

Remote desktop

I'm trying to figure out how to set up remote desktop... I'm using Kumars rom... not that that makes a difference i dont think. anyways. I'm running Windows 7 on my computer.
start ->
right click on "My Computer" ->
Properties ->
remote settings (top left hand)
remote tab ->
Allow remote assistance connections to this computer box is checked
allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop (less secure) is checked ->
on to my phone...
i go to remote desktop mobile on it... I've read online that for the Computer dialog box i input my computers IP address... now, is that the IPV4 address that i get from the CMD box after typing IPCONFIG... or is it the address that i get when i browse over to the website www.whatismyipaddress.com ??
what do i put for my user name and password? is it my PC's password and user name? also... my ISP (internet service provider) is Verizon. i currently have their built in wireless modem up and running. i've seen the tutorial on youtube of how to set up remote desktop by going in to my router and port forwarding numbers... but thats also something i am having trouble with.... ive been cracking my head at this for over 3 hours. can someone please help

For username and password, don't bother with them. You MUST have user logins setup on your PC for this to work. When you eventually do connect to your PC, you'll be presented with the login screen, so you can enter authentication information there instead. Yes, it's your login and password for your PC, but you don't need to worry about that to actually connect.
Without seeing your specific router setup, it's difficult to help with the next part. Go to start, run and type cmd. Type IPCONFIG - this will give you the IP address that your computer has. You need to allow all traffic on port 3389 to go to that IP address. There will be something about port forwarding in your router setup (which I have to assume you know how to access).
If you have trouble, google for the model number of your router and "port forwarding" and you're bound to find a how-to page.
Incidentally, that IP address is your "internal" IP address - the one that your router assigns to your PC so you can communicate with it. When you go to whatismyipaddress it tells you the IP address of your router. You need to connect to that from outside, and the port forwarding says "someone's connecting to me on port 3389 via my external IP address. I've got port forwarding set up to allow traffic on that port to go to an internal IP address." (You may not hear it say that )
this is the screen on my ip router set up
Looks fine. So did you try logging in?
These instructions won't work if you have more than one device in your house using that router and each device will get its own IP from the router, so when a request comes in from the outside network, it won't know which IP to send the request to.
**UNLESS** you're doing it over WIFI from your phone, which would already put you on the inside network so you don't need to worry about that.
Tell us, are you trying to connect using 3G, or are you trying to connect using your in-house WiFi using the router?

Good point - I didn't pick up on the fact that the port forwarding is not asking for an end IP address.
As zdrux says, if you're connecting your HD2 to your wireless network then you can connect to your PC directly, using the internal IP address, as mentioned in the post above.
Nope not working... im getting really irritated. i dont understand why it isnt working. do i need to be connected through my own wifi? or should i disable it?
You don't need to connect via your own wifi, as long as your router is doing it's job properly. It's easier to connect via wifi though, as you can rule out the router completely and at least get it working.
A few questions...
Do you have to log onto windows with a username and password?
Do you have windows firewall on?
What version of Windows 7 is it?

Nobody will help if you can't answer our questions.
- Are you connecting through 3G, or through you WiFi at home? Where do you get your connection on your phone?! This is important.
- Turn off windows fire-wall completely until you solve this so you know its not getting in the way.
- Go to Control Panel > System and Security > System ..and click on "Remote Settings" in the left pane, once a new window opens up, make sure you check the box where it says "Allow assistance from other computers" and also a little lower where it says "Allow other versions of windows to connect to this computer".
- Go to your router and look for an option where you can set a computer as the DMZ, put in the IP of your computer in that box if you have one of those boxes as an option. This is the IP you see when you type "ipconfig" on your computer.
- Go to www.canyouseeme.org to test if your Remote Desktop port is open. Once you get to that webpage, type in port number 3389 and click "Check", this will confirm if it's an issue with your computer or your phone.
- Like the other person said, if this doesn't work, try connecting your computer without a router. Just get the cable running from the modem straight into your network card, unless you have one of those router/modem all-in-one things.
If you are connecting over the home wifi, then you shouldn't need to go near port forwarding, or indeed your router at all.
the target ip is the PC address you get from cmd - ipconfig (192.168.....) and as johnc said, you can leave user and pass blank and log in directly.
If you are wanting to connect over your phones data, then the target ip is found either by visiting whatismyip or in the router, look for the wan ip address. (Example 82.27.19.187)
and in that case you set up in your router a port forward from external port 3389 to internal address (your pc address from ipconfig) on port 3389.
Hello Everyone,
Not to hijack the thread but, I am having problems using remote desktop also. Maybe you can help.
Host Computer: Notebook
OS: Win xp pro
Connectivity: T-Mobile USA PCM/CIA card gprs/edge/3G
User name has Admin Privileges
In Security Center, Firewall. I made exceptions for Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance.
When I goto www.canyouseeme.org on the notebook on the t-mobile wireless card, Error: I could not see your service on on port 3389 Reason: Connection refused
Client: HD2
Connectivity: T-Mobile USA 3G
On the HD2 I put:
Computer: IP address of the host computer
User name: Name of Admin Privileged User
Password: Password that corresponds to the user name
When I goto www.canyouseeme.org on the HD2, Error: I could not see your service on on port 3389 Reason: Connection refused
1) On the host computer, Must all users be logged off and the computer at the login screen or can I be logged in on an Admin User?
2) If users must be logged off, I can go to Task Manager and disconnect user that will be used to login with remote desktop?
3) T-Mobile USA Blocking ports 3389?
If I log out of the user, I go to the login screen but the wireles connection is terminated.
My Goal:
I have a notebook in my work vehicle on the T-mobile air card (Wireless ) and while I am in a building working, I would like to connect to the notebook in the vehicle with my HD2 instead of walking back and forth or having to carry my notebook with me.
If you need more information, I will do my best to give exact details.
Thank you,
Monnie
You left out a step on the PC.
On the Remote screen setup on the PC you have to add the Login IDs that will be allowed to login remotely.
Hello Everyone,
I called T-mobile usa, spoke with their PDA/Smartphone Tech Support, They could not give me an answer that A) They are blocking ports 3389 or B) They are not blocking ports 3389.
The tech continued to asked me over and over again " did that application come on the phone or you installed it" I told him repeatedly " Remote desktop come loaded on the factory T-mobile ROM"
He then said, they are working with their network dept and directly with HTC
Just a heads up
Thank you,
Monnie

You have to connect first before you can even think of logging in. We still didn't get to that part.

This is irrelevant, the website checks to see if the port on your PC is open, this has nothing to do with the phone (yet). If your port 3389 is open and accepting connections, the website should say so, nothing to do with the phone at this time.
This basically means your computer has port 3389 shut off/blocking, figure out what's doing that and then you can connect.

usb dun driver for expo

i was looking through the tools folder and found enable dun. where is the driver so i can use the expo for as a modem for my computer?
I've only ever used Internet Sharing and for that you need the NDIS drivers that are included with ActiveSync (XP). I'm not sure what you would need for Vista/7.

I dont think that you are right about that. I hit enabe dun and plugged in my expo to my xp machine that has active sync and the box popped up asking for the driver.
I never touched EnableDUN. In fact my phone is currently connected as a modem and Enable DUN currently shows Inactive.
Anyway, assuming your carrier is listed as one of the connection types available in the list in Internet Sharing (I had to modify my registry to support my carrier), you just need to hit connect. You should hear ActiveSync disconnect and then it will reconnect as a network connection. Mine is listed as "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device".
when i open internet sharing and hit connect with usb the button goes grey then comes back. it does not connect.
I assume you are using an eXpo based ROM, not IQ based?
AT&T gimped the Internet Sharing app so that they can control who connects to what.
first delete this little piece of nastiness from the Registry...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
"ForceCellConnection"="ATnT ISP GPRS"
after a soft reset, you should now have a drop down list of available connections. Try using the correct connection and see if that works.

thanks for being so helpful. now if i hit connect it connects but says waiting for network then goes back to disconnected.
OK, well lets get a little background info. What network are you on? Did you set up your own connection profile? What ROM are you running?
I am using the standard att rom. i am using tmobile. I did setup my own network acess point. internet works fine.
OK, do you know if your provider or account allows for tethering? I'm not sure if it can be disabled, but it might need to be enabled for some carriers.
Anyway, I happen to be running the stock AT&T ROM right ROM (testing a few things). After a hard reset, here is what I did.....
Go to Proxy Manager and disable proxy
Go to Connections, Advanced, Select Networks, New...,
Typed a name, under modem choose New..., left default connection name,
chose Cellular Line(GPRS, 3G, HSDPA) and next
entered access point (Internet.com for Rogers Wireless)
next, left credentials blank
hit finish and then went to proxy settings and checked "This network connects to the Internet" and ok
under Network Management chose my new connection (called 'My Connection") as the default and ok to close
Started up FDCSoft Taskmanager from my SD card and went to RegEdit
deleted "ForceCellConnection"="ATnT ISP GPRS" from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
soft reset phone
after reset went to Internet Sharing
USB was already selected for PC Connection:
"My Connection" was already selected for Network Connection
Hit connect...
Status showed Waiting for USB connection, then waiting for Network and finally connected.
If that doesn't work for you, perhaps there is some other step for T-Mobile.
thanks, i did not have proxy disabled. also for some reason i had to delete the registry entry twice before it actually deleted. it works now thanks.
No worries.
For anyone interested, Telus did it a little differently on the IQ.
On the IQ, in order to use Internet Sharing with a different carrier, you need to delete the following registry entries....
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\AllowedConnections\TELUS ISP]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\AllowedConnections\TestBed TBT]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\AllowedConnections\VPN]
