Hello,
I am on an HP Folio 13-1020us running the Windows 8 Consumer Preview 64 Bit. The Wifi can see the networks but it cannot connect to the schools network. I can connect off campus just fine, and I can connect without any trouble in Windows 7
This is very inconvenient for me, but its more difficult to handle considering my friends old Sony laptop has been able to successfully connect through wifi, so I know that it is not because "its just beta"
I am at Western Oregon University, where we use a WEP2 network. I have been to our IT guy and he patched me through as an exception, so theres no problem on the network end.
So far I think I have honestly read every single forum and answer to this, on campuses or not. Please if anyone has any ideas that would be great! But please don't list "Try uninstalling then reinstalling drivers, or updating them" I have the absolute latest drivers to all the components so far.
I have also tried to try the disable Mini Virtual Wifi Port, or whatever it is named, but it does not show up in my networking list.
Thank you very much!
Does your campus have an unsecured guest network? try that if it does.

No it does not but I tried at a Starbucks. No problem whatsoever. and tried with my phone. Also working but not reliable enough on the phone end to use full time
Double-check with your college's IT department and see if they blacklist/whitelist operating systems. Could be Windows 8 CP is getting blocked by the internet security.

Thats what I thought as well, but my friends laptop works on wifi on windows 8
Did you ever figure this out? I'm considering upgrading to Windows 8 here at BYU but we use Cisco and if my WiFi isn't going to work I can't upgrade.

Hello guys,
I want to see how secure my wireless network is for someone who is using a PPC, so I have been searching for any software that will allow me to crack my encryption but so far I have not managed to find anything. I have found a few software that crack encryptions both on Windows and Linux, but none on Windows Mobile.
Any of you know any software?
Thank you.

What a bizarre request If you've got a wireless network, set the router encryption to the strongest setting your PC's/PPC's will support and use the cracking tools on a Windows PC to test it. If you've got security and MAC filtering on the router, you're doing about the best you can anyway.
Trying to crack wireless security on a PPC is gonna be slow as - the Hermes only has a 400MHz processor, so it'll probably take four or five times (or more) longer to crack the security as it would if you did it on a desktop PC. The only software I know of that might work is MiniStumbler - kinda like the baby brother of NetStumbler, from http://www.netstumbler.org
My advice is this , give it up as a bad job, or make sure your PPC is permanently on charge coz the battery life will be crap with the WiFi on and packet capture/cracking tools running
Cheers,
Mark.
Great Mark I will try and see what happens with the software you told me as soon as I get a chance. Thank you.
Anyone else who knows a different way.. is welcome to say
Download the backtrack ISO LiveCD and run it on a laptop or PC which has a supported wireless device. That LiveCD comes with a suite of wifi cracking apps which you can use to penetration test your wireless network if you thusly desire.
Doesn't work with many Acer laptops though due to something stupid with the Acer motherboard design (and guess what laptop I have! haha)
I know this is a very long shot but I can access the internet through my router on my laptop and phone but my desktop can't seem to find it (it is quite old). I was just wondering if I could use my phone as a repeater for the signal?
Thanks

I'd say no chance to... Windows Seven (desktop) installs a software "miniport" which is a virtual wifi pendrive to do exactly that with your desktop. AFAIK there's nothing like it for Windows Mobile, and obviously while you're hooked on your wifi network with your hd2, you cannot use it for another purpose as well

Is there a way to make the Internet Sharing function use a wifi network rather than the mobile web?
WMWifirouter can do it, it has lots of different modes, including one that effectively turns your phone into an USB wifi adapter, so you can access wifi on your computer with it via usb.

That program works really well, thanks for your help!
fqrouter2 is the solution
Use fqrouter2 for rooted Android devices and you have a perfectly working WiFi Repeater (available free in Google Play Store)
So the situation is I am renting and using the wireless network in the house (Router is upstairs). My laptop connects fine but my phones internet is laggy sometimes because the router is kinda far. So im wondering if I could connect my phone to the internet via my laptop.
Windows 7 and my laptop is connected to internet VIA wifi so I dont thin Ad-Hoc will work...

Yep, Microsoft recently added support for virtual routers
http://www.connectify.me/
Just install that app, you will be up and running in minutes.

Thanks man, this is great.
BTW, what version are you using? Cause I downloaded the newest version and it wouldn't work so I downloaded an older version v1.2 and it worked. Seems like its a known problem.
Im using 2.0.1
I seem to remember that i had trouble to start with but it was windows firewall misbehaving.
can use that too? i am using windows xp and i have internet from USB stick - can i make a wireless network so my phone can use it too ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
it seems it is for windows 7 only
any other aplication out there that can do this with XP ?
Im afraid its only compatible with vista onwards ...
EDIT: You should be able to set up an adhoc connection with your phone though

I want to set up my Windows 7 system as an access point (ad hoc, I suppose) so that I can connect my tablet via wifi and use the Window system's network access.
I used the ad hoc network wizard, but the tablet could not see it, and could not be force it to hook up.
Has anyone been successful at this?

i dun know but i hope u will have the way to do this
I was just working on this the other night, so I'll answer your question and pose a second.
Go grab the 'Connectify' program. That'll make the setup a snap.
Here's the problem, though.... Hoping some of the keen XDA minds might be able to help. The 'SoftAP' that windows 7 has built in will ONLY set itself up with WPA2 security. This makes it teasingly close to allowing Nintendo DS and PSP connections since it's setting itself up as an Infrastructure Access point, but only with security too strong for those platforms.
Does anyone here have an Idea of how to force/hack Win7 to use a lower form of security like WPA or WEP?
Would love to get an answer to above users question

Once i was blind, now i can see !
Thank you for this, i had problems with 3g at my work, now i have wifi!
After some additional research, I found out that this WPA2 'lock' is actually a part of the Win7 certification for a given WiFi device.
This would seem to indicate that it would be either part of the driver or hard-coded into the device itself.
A driver seems like it could be something that'd be edited to be more pliable with regards to Wifi protection, but if it's hard-coded, we're likely screwed.
Any info pertaining to using Windows XP Pro with any of this. I run on Revol Wireless with my Hero200,I flashed the phone to their network so I dont have full network access. Anyways...I'm trying to reverse tether at home to use the net on my phone where my network is connected through my desktop pc. I'm running a Dell Dimension 4600 with XP Pro strictly as my DEV computer. This comp only gets Android crap on it all the time. A few windows things here and there but I need the windows programs for the android stuff so...Any help is VERY greatly appreciated guys!

dude...you will have stability problems and protocols relevent issues on using connectify
some times u'll get blue screen errors too.
So,after googling a lot i hav found "mhotspot" we dont even need to install the software,but it creates a virtual access point and enables wifiinternet sharing
working great..
try it here....www. mhotspot .com
So I'm trying to connect to my university's Wifi. I have to put in a username and password to get in (WPA-2 Enterprise secured). I can connect fine with Windows 7, but it's not working in Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Also, I tried connecting to my school's public wifi. Windows 8 says it is connected, but every time I open up Internet Explorer it crashes. The only way I can get online is tethering through my phone. Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks

Do you know if your University is using Cisco? I've seen this issue on both Win8DP and CP with Cisco Wireless Networks using the above authentication methods. Don't have a fix yet, however I've got one of our network guys looking into in his spare time (not a high priority being a Beta build)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure its Cisco. Oh well, I'll just be patient. Thanks!
