hi all,
Can't seem to get the Socket SDIO card working on my I-Mate II. Everywhere I look it seems like it requires SDIO NOW from bSquare but yet some posts say they get it working.
Anyone had any luck on this with a repeatable process documented?
Thanks!

Re Socket WiFi SDIO card
I had the same problem, but it's working fine now. First, get the latest driver software from Socket and install it. Then insert the card and wait several minutes until the wireless icon appears on the top bar. This will list available wireless networks in a bubble. Select the one you want and select to connect to the internet. It will then ask for the WEP key, if you need one, which you should enter as hex or ASCII. It should now be working.
Hope this helps!

Yeah I already did that one . I had it working for a little while last night but can't seem to get it going again.
Update: SDIO Issues
Hi all,
Where I have discovered something interesting. If you broadcast the SSID, then you can connect without issue using the Socket SDIO card. ( I assume it will be the same thing for the SanDisk Card as well)
I couldn't connect to anything until I started broadcasting the SSID. And here at work today I can connect to the AP's that broadcast and those that don't I can't no matter what I do.
Do I smell a bug here? :-D
i always seem to get a problem of not receiving an ip address from my linksys router. as soon as i put a static address in, restarted, reset it, restarted again, it worked...

>How do i access & broadcast SSID ? I have a SanDisk SDIO WLAN and i am experiecing problems now with access public access hotspots which i never did. The IP assigned to me are always the same despite having resetted my XDAII. Thanks sir.

hihi something to share with u all, me also having the same problem of not able to connect with my linksys router with SSID broadcast disable. I tried with both sankdisk n socket driver, both also can't work. But i have no problem with getting any ip from my router
In short:
The SocketIO 802.11b SDIO Card, like most 802.11b devices, will not connect without either enabling SSID Broadcast on the Access Point OR manually specifying the SSID in the setup of the wirless profile of the connecting device (the XDA in this case).
In not so short:
In infrastructure mode (connection from Client to Access Point (AP)), the client sends all traffic to the AP. The access point acts as an ethernet bridge and forwards the communications onto the appropriate network–
either the wired network, or the wireless network. Prior to communicating data, wireless clients and access points must establish a relationship, or an association. Only after an association is established can the two wireless stations exchange data. In infrastructure mode, the clients associate with an access point. The association process is a two step process involving three states:
1. Unauthenticated and unassociated,
2. Authenticated and unassociated,
3. Authenticated and associated.
To transition between these three states, the communicating parties exchange messages called management frames. All access points transmit a beacon management frame at a fixed interval. To associate with an access point and join a BSS, a client listens for beacon messages to identify the access points within range. The client then selects the BSS to join in a vendor independent manner. For instance in Windows XP, all of the network names (or service set identifiers (SSID)) which are contained in the beacon frame are presented to the user so that they may select the network to join. A client may also send a probe request management frame to find an access point affiliated with a desired SSID.
After identifying an access point, the client and the access point perform a mutual authentication by exchanging several management frames as part of the process. The two standardized authentication mechanisms are Open System Authentication and Shared Key Authentication.
After successful authentication, the client moves into the second state, authenticated and unassociated.
Then the client sends an association request frame, and the access point responds with an association response frame, which moves us from the second state to the third and final state, authenticated and associated.
After following the process described, the client becomes a peer on the wireless network, and can transmit data frames on the network.
The problem is, if the SSID is not being broadcasted in the beacon frame, the client does not know who to respond back to. By specifying the SSID the client will then be able to establish communication.
Thats my understanding of the process/problem anyway.
Note: In my experience 802.11g is not subject to this limitation, my guess would be 802.11g uses the AP's MAC address in addition to the SSID (if enabled) in management frames/association.
Hope this helps..

Hi!
I have a client with a PC <--> PPC app. The pc-app is running on vista and communicates with the device via activesync and TCP/IP, but it won't connect because the ip is invalid. Netstat (and the app) shows ip 127.0.0.1. I guess this is the problem. The device is usb connected running wm6.1.
Any help appreciated
Nicholas

vista don't use activesync
I'm sorry. I did mean Windows Mobile Device Center!
Nicholas
it's not 100% clear from your question what
the user is trying to do
but if it's using some program to access the network from the pc
it could be that you have to
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
and choose ny home network or my work network or whatever the non
gprs connecting is named on that device
if that dont fix it it could be a problem on the pc's side where it maybe blocking the traffic or not being setup to grant hdcp ip to the device
OK, thanks for your reply!
Just to clarify: The PC app is the client and the PCC-app is a TCP-server.
The PC is trying to get the device ip, but it turns out to be 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual ip (I have 169.254.2.2). That's the issue.
Hi all,
Recently changed from a topaz to HD2 (also moved from orange to T Mobile UK) and having some trouble accessing my home FTP.
Using the latest version of FTP addon in resco explorer, and it was working perfect when run on my previous phone using identical settings, but now i have the following problem.
I try to connect ,
my FTP server show user connecting from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (which shows that atleast im making contact on port 21 to open a connection)
my phone shows cannot connect and gives error 10054
my FTP server shows "an established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine"
It seems port 21 is connecting but not relaying the info about the passive port range. port 21 and the passive port range are open/forwarded on my router and windows firewall. And like i said i have been able to connect through this router/firewall previously.
On occasion i can connect but its maybe 5% of the time and i can discern to pattern to it.
I can connect fine if i connect my phone to my home wifi just not through 2G or 3G, Im starting to think that its a problem with tmobile.
I would appreciate any ideas that may help solve this problem
thanks

So I want to use remote desktop on my TP2 to connect to my laptop at home. I've done all the requirements to allow to use this feature; I've enabled port forwarding in my router settings and I have enabled remote desktop on my laptop's Windows 7 system properties. And on my TP2 I enter my ip address for the "computer" field, my Windows 7 account user name in the "user name" field (I only have 1 account on my laptop and it is admin), and the account password in the "password" field. After all of this, my TP2 will still not connect to my laptop. At this point I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anybody help?
Does your computer has public IP Address?
Yes. I go to www.whatismyip.com and it displays my ip address. I've tried entering this address in the "computer" field as well and nothing.
you'll need to forward port 3389 through any router you may be using (check out portforward.com)
you'll also need to enable RDP connection on the machine through System>Remote.
there are 1001 guides you'll find with a quick google, its not a phone specific thing.
edit: ive previously found that the WM RDP client wont start a 'net connection itself. if you find the same, just do it manually through com manager or check ur mail etc.
Did you forward port 3389 to the internal ip address of your laptop?
Do you have a software firewall on the laptop that may be blocking access?
First try to figure out where the error occurs.
Try to connect to your pc, using an other pc ( from outside )
If it works, it must be a setting in your mobile device.
If pc also doesnt work, it should be a port problem, in that case, try using hamachi..
Oh, and check if you dont have a blocking program, or firewall .. like suggested above
Does my phone need to be connected to wi-fi in order to use remote desktop or will it just use my carrier's data service?

it will use any data connection available, no need to connect to wifi if you have data plan activated.
some tips:
1. you must have NAT (port forwarding) configured in your router
2. If your router has public IP address on WAN port, then point 1. is just sufficient if you are on some routed network, than you need to ask your provider, maybe you will be lucky
2.1. (here are network ranges used as private, only for identification)
from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
from 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
3. point 1. specification - enable NAT from WAN port to local IP address of your computer, specific port is TCP 3389. Also is good to make a reservation on DHCP server for this PC.
4. you need to enable remote desktop on your PC
4.1. computer properties - remote desktop setup - and its middle line on remote desktop settings
4.2. click "choose users" and check if your account is listed
Thanks alot to everybody's help! Your advise allowed me to get this things working, I really appreciate it. I had the port open and had remote desktop enabled on my computer but the thing that was killing me was I had the windows firewall on and my ESET Smart Security firewall on as well. Once I disabled them I was able to make the connection. What a head ache those firewalls gave me. I thank you all once again for your assistance.

The answer depends on what you have available to connect to. Your network (if any exists) and the machine/OS you want to connect to.
If you could let me know the following, I'll see if I can help:
How you machine's connected to the net. (for example, mines something like PC>Router>Cable modem>outside world).
The operating syustem in use on your PC. Specifically please, the edition and version is important to know. Mine's Windows 7 Ultimate, for example.
but, to cut a long story short: if you're not using a home edition of one of the recent windows OSs (XP and later), I'd suggest Remote desktop's the best way to go. There's a .cab knocking around here if you don't already have it on your phone and the PC end's described in the 'Configure Remote Desktop' and 'Configure Your Router' bits of this page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/northrup_03may16.mspx (ignore the other sections, they're not relevant unless you're running IIS)

I have a WIFI Router installed, have a laptop with VISTA ULTIMATE and PC with XP Professional.
I am already able to RD my laptop from my PC.
I want to RDS my laptop from my phone via the same network/WIFI. I think it is pretty simple.
This is what I am doing
I have installed Remote Desktop Mobile
I have connected to WIFI
when I run Remote Desktop Mobile & enter my laptop's name, with username and password and click connect, connecting remains on top and is not connecting it. I am not in any domain, do i have to leave the domain name empty?
if you're not using a domain, leaving it blank's right.
Does it just time out on your phone?
Do you get the same if you try connecting via IP instead of your machine's name?

Your laptop seems to be configured well ( you can access it using the pc )
So it must be a setting in the phone. You sure it is connected to wifi , maybe it stays on 3g ) Or maybe your laptop only allowes 1 ip to connect ( the pc's ip )
I am even able to connect to my laptop over internet as the port 3389 is fwd.
Do I have to configure anything on my phone other than installing that cab file?
Or maybe the cab file I've installed is corrupt or something, can someone please share the cab file?
I have a galaxy note 8 and have had unlimited Hotspot for over 3 years now, my wife changed our plan & now I only have 30 gigs a month and then it slows to 128kbs! I have been using it to stream since I cut the cord with our cable company, needless to say I can't stream anything at 128kbs... My question, is there a workaround or solution to solve this issue? I have unlimited data through att and I'm using a unrooted note 8 & trying to stream or screen mirror to a Nvidia shield either through my Hotspot or USB tethering etc... I have tried a few apps from the playstore to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.
I disabled LTE and use 3G on T-Mobile network. Set phone to WCDMA preferred. I have only achieved upto 10-20MBs speed but way better than the throttled speed on their monitored LTE bands. I used 82GB on one of my phones in one month. I switched to Suddenlink finally a few months ago. Maybe this info will help you.
I can't figure out how to trick AT&T into letting me do hotspot on my rooted Pixel 4 XL with root. Worked no problem on Android 10, but lal my hacks have fallen to the wayside after the upgrade.

Same issue in my pixel 2xl. Build.prop mods used to work great until Android 11. The hotspot still connects but no internet is available you the connected device. I'll keep looking to see if I can get it working.
Look for an application called "VPN Hotspot." It allows you to send the hotspot over some sort of fake vpn, or use your real one as well. It's not entirely seamless but there is a monitor mode that you can enable after every boot that will do the vpn trick anytime you turn on native tethering. If works around the aforementioned no-internet problems.

Tethering is sharing your internet connection (through WiFi, bluetooth or usb) from one device with another device. A hotspot is just a WiFi transmission that you can connect to for internet service.
The most common way to tether is to create a WiFi hotspot on your phone and connect another device to it.

Pixel 4 XL, AT&T(no hotspot plan,) and Google Fi(no need for this app on this SIM)
- Rooted with Magisk Canary.
- Disabled IPv6.
- Enabled Tethering hardware acceleration.
- Enabled Repeater safe mode.
- Network status monitor mode: Netlink monitor with root.
It's still a bit annoying that this cannot be started as a service when the phone boots up, but based on all the comments from the dev, that's not on the roadmap. I just use the quicksetting toggle. I also use Tasker to alert when my tether is not properly running. I could ghetto-rig Tasker to start it, but haven't decided whether or not it's worth the frustration. Any time you do things with clicks instead of API, it gets messy.
AT&T does not have any starter plan for hotspot. Verizon has unlimited hotspot plan.
When you have used your data. You have speed limit. And only new plan can change speed.
Best is search near by public network. Or try to find Wi-Fi password. There are many free internet public network available. But keep good anti virus and firewall on when using public network.
finally after buying unlocked phones from directly from samsung AT&T no longer allows native tethering.
After the last samsung update I can no longer use native tethering, it scans for something in the systems and comes back saying my plan doesn't support tethering,
this after tethering just before the update go figure
I just had this happen on my note 9 (unlocked), i think it was the latest patch update as well. It looks it applying at&t updates to my non-at&t phone... So annoying.
Edit: Used odin to flash back to FUB1, i think it was FUD2 where it start checking provision/tether. FU ATT
Recently, I sent up my laptop with VirtualBox, a Virtual Machine Manager. I had issues getting my VM clients to function through the Windows Defender Firewall. I solved this by creating an advanced custom outbound rule with address range SCOPE which allowed the VirtualBox clients through the firewall on the Private Network where the VirtualBox clients were configured to use a bridged adapter mapped to the wireless adapter for the laptop. This might provide some insight to how the mobile phones Private Network is setup and controlled by the telecom provider.
My Problem: The Microsoft Windows Defender Private Network is blocking VM applications like Android Studio from reaching the internet through a bridged adapter, and maybe a NAT adapter too.
Solution: The following outbound rule fixes the problem allowing Virtual Machine clients access to the internet.
Windows Defender - Firewall using New Custom Outbound Rule
ORACLE VirtualBox 6.1 and Virtual Machine IPs
Add two Private Network address ranges to SCOPE
Add Both Ranges to both Local and Remote Scope
192.168.43.1 to 192.168.43.254 => DHCP Implementation with Wi-Fi Tethering
192.168.42.1 to 192.168.42.254 => DHCP Implementation with USB Tethering
* You might be able to restrict the Remote Scope range to just those IP Addresses used by the clients, especially Virtual Machine clients.
NOTES:
1.) DHCP Implementation with a Bluetooth connection is not addressed here.
2.) As you can see, I excluded the following IP addresses in each Class C IP Address Range.
192.168.42.0, 192.168.42.255 <-- DO NOT USE for USB Tethering
192.168.43.0, 192.168.43.255 <-- DO NOT USE for Wireless Tethering
192.168.x.0 is a reserved Class C base address
192.168.x.255 is a reserved Class C broadcast address
3.) For those Android versions before Android 9 which also supported built-in tethering in the OS, the Default Gateway was fixed:
192.168.43.1 => DHCP Implementation with Wi-Fi Tethering
192.168.42.1 => DHCP Implementation with USB Tethering
I do not know how a DHCP Implementation works with Bluetooth
4.) For the Android 9, the Default Gateway changes dynamically every time tethering is disabled and re-enabled, a possible security feature, maybe anti-hacking feature. I found this documented, but I also have experienced this outcome with the Razer Phone 2 running with Android 9. So, I wondered why this change was made from a Static Fixed IP for the Default Gateway on a Private Network as mentioned in note item 3.
5. I am using Wi-Fi tethering, so my Wireless Network Connection 2, Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN Wireless Adapter shows 192.168.43.XXX with ipconfig in Windows 10 which is a DHCP assigned Class C Private Network Address. You can see the Default Gateway address below as 192.168.43.YYY

Questions I began to ask myself:
1. Can I disable the DHCP server on my Android 9 smartphone? If you can disable DHCP by disabling a flag somewhere, then how do you manually establish a new static Gateway address to link to the external Public Network IP on the smartphone?
2. Can I set up and use static IP address ranges to connect my host and VM clients to the mobile hotspot? -- I do not think so because the telecom providers want to know when you are tethering which may be money driven on certain mobile smartphone plans.
3. Does Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 allow the ability to set static addresses on the device?
--Windows 10 - Yes.
--Ubuntu VM - Yes, both using the UI or in Terminal mode. Go to Settings | Network in the UI. In Terminal mode, there are different approaches to configuring static IP addresses.
--Supposedly, using Static IP Addresses improves the start up performance of your Host and VM operating systems.
4. Can I set a Private Network Static IP address on Windows 10 as host and Ubuntu 20.04 as VM and leave the Gateway address blank? Will a blank Gateway address then use the Default Gateway established by the DHCP server?
I watched a video which described how to set up Static IP Addresses on Host and VM client devices, but that might have applied only to Android versions before Android 9 before the Default Gateway address was set or made fixed by the Android OS for Android OS versions before Android 9. If the VM client gateway addresses are now part of a closed IP stack or fixed address range, I think you can set a fixed client IP address in Ubuntu v20.04 running as a virtual machine with VirtualBox v6.1.
5. If your smartphone is Android 9 and earlier, it may be possible to change the Private Network IP Address Range dynamically assigned by the smartphones DHCP server. Does this block the telecom provider from detecting whether tethering is being used? -- I think the answer may be yes. Does it block the telecom provider from detecting the amount of data transmitted using the built-in tethering? -- I think the answer may be yes.
6. Can other VPN apps be loaded on Android devices and not use the build-in tethering function for VPN Wireless connectivity?
--I have a Zte Grand X Max Plus running Android 4.4 (KitKat). I used a third-party application for a VPN wireless connection which turned my mobile phone into a mobile hotspot. This mobile phone did not have any build-in tethering function. The telecom provider may be able to detect these third-party VPN Wireless applications, maybe block them, possibly even remove those apps from your mobile phone.
7. Does the Android 9 smartphone using the DHCP server cache the last used client IP addresses for the client devices and attempt to reissue them again?
--I read some documentation that seemed to indicate this. I also see that happening when I shutdown and restart my Virtual Machines. I do not know if there is some session control or expiration of these dynamically assigned IP Addresses.
8. Can I change the default hotspot DHCP IP address range on Android? -- See Reference #2 item below.
--It appears that this may be possible with Android smartphones versions 9 and earlier. Android 10 and Android 11 may have moved to using a separate ROM Private Network adapter that will not allow the ability to change the default IP Address Range. And it is also unclear whether you can assign static addresses to client devices on Android version 10 and 11 within the DHCP authorized address range. If the client address has already been assigned dynamically at least once, you might be able to change that client device to using that address as a Static IP Address. What you do not want is the DHCP server attempting to assign an IP address to a client device when that IP address is already being used by another device; I would hope that the system is smart enough to avoid this IP collision.
9. Can changing default hotspot DHCP IP address range on Android by-pass any throttling by the telecom provider and allow greater access to unlimited data? This is possible, maybe even likely the case with older Android smartphones. Why else are people trying to figure this VPN stuff out? Why are the telecom companies moving to using ROM chips as network adapters, more specifically tethering network adapters?
-- It is all about the money for tethering services, I think. Telecom companies or the government wants to control how you use your data or more easily monitor or filter your IP traffic. They want to segment the type of data used to standard smartphone data and track premium tethering data. Will someone discover a hack around these ROM network chips for Android 10 and Android 11? Who knows.
10. If the default hotspot DHCP IP address range on Android could be changed/altered by the consumer and the DHCP server disabled, how do we get connect the dynamically public assigned IPv4 Address from the from the Android smartphone to our custom Private Network (VPN) and link to the established Gateway address?
--You can accomplish this behavior with a router at home, establishing a bridge between the Android smartphone and the home router. And how do we do this without a router? You can establish an alternate (sub)network configuration in Windows 10, and then have Windows 10 share their connection with other devices. But these paths likely do not bypass the throttling limitations set by the telecom provider. But, these options might allow you to connect more devices with NAT to the internet than the telecom might normally permit directly to the phone. Not sure, but I am just making an educated guess here.
I hope that some of my research and related experience helps. I think reference #2 below might be the best shot at trying to bypass throttling limitations with the telecom provider. The other option is to activate and older phone with a telecom provider that gives you more options as a mobile hotspot using an older mobile OS on the phone.

IP address is 192.168.43.1 by default and there is no option to change it permanently. Is it possible to change it without root access? My phone is Huawei Android 5.1.

Private Address Ranges
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has assigned several address ranges to be used by private networks.

Handling Outbound Connections
I ran across a related or similar link today; my same solution works for this issue. For me this was simply a Microsoft Windows Firewall issue for VirtualBox and Ubuntu as a VM.
Virtual box is not working on windows 10
I have installed virtual box But when I tried to run it. It shows me an error as: I have been trying everything for whole day. Like there are answers related to this question as: VT-x is not avai...

1. Go to Microsoft Windows Defender
2. Create an Outbound Custom Rule
3. Create the following Scope and Address Range
192.168.43.1-192.168.43.254 - Set the following address range.
192.168.43.X - Address of Ubuntu VM on VirtualBox
4. Provide a name for the new custom rule such as VirtualBox (or "VirtualBox Outbound Rule").
Alternatively, the Custom Outbound Rule allows you to pick programs that you want to allow through the firewall.
1. Go to Microsoft Windows Defender
2. Select "This program path:"
3. Go to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
4. This is where I am stuck on which process to pick to allow through the firewall. I see applications such as "VirtualBox.exe", "VirtualBoxVM.exe", "VBoxManage.exe", "VBoxSVC.exe", "VBoxNetNAT.exe", "VBoxNetDHCP.exe" and others. For this reason, I took the IP path which appeared easier to solve. If I just allow the IP Address for a client or IP Addresses for all clients through the firewall, I do not have to worry about what VirtualBox executables or applications I have to give firewall permissions to. I someone knows the answer, I would love to know that answer.
Handling Inbound Connections (Optional)
I am thinking here about use of inbound connection rules, when they could be used, and how an Inbound Rule would be setup for smartphone which are tethering to the internet.
1. You might need an Inbound Rule if a connection is going to initiate or come inbound via the host computer IP to the VirtualBox virtual machine. Does the firewall have to be configured with an inbound rule for the host operating system to make an inbound connection to the Virtual Machine and maybe to a specific application with a port number?
2. You might also need an inbound rule if other computers exist the same private network.
a.) INBOUND CONNECTION from GUEST-REMOTE-CLIENT OS to VIRTUAL MACHINE OS, USING ONE SMARTPHONE as WI-FI HUB: One way this can happen is if a tethered smartphone itself acts as a Wi-Fi hub to more than one computer on the same private network. I have done this with work associates at a coffee shop on a rare occasions. I think that smartphone manufacturers and/or telecom providers allow a tethered smartphone device to possibly have up to five inbound client network connections to a smartphone serving as a Wi-Fi hub.
b.) INBOUND CONNECTION from ONE CLIENT LAPTOP to VIRTUAL MACHINE on ANOTHER CLIENT LAPTOP, USING A PHYSICAL HUB (WIRED | WIRELESS): I have also exposed my laptop to a traveling mini-hub configured with a shared private network subnet so that my friends could connect to the internet using fixed wire ethernet cables I also had with me. With a physical mini-hub supporting Network Address Translation (NAT), the five-connection limitation does not exist; the number of ports on your hub is your limitation. The physical hub using NAT makes all hub connections appear as one with my laptop, all sharing my laptop connection which is tethering to my smartphone and the internet. I did this once or twice when I did not have tethering technology built into my smartphone which my Razer Phone 2 does have. If five devices can access the internet and the same private network through a tethered smartphone acting as a Wi-Fi hub, they could be networked optionally to be able to see other computers on the same private network. And, If that is true, then another laptop could connect to a VM running on another friend's laptop. Software developers working together might want to share a VM, for example, that has an OS with a database server running on the virtual machine.
c.) INBOUND CONNECTION from ONE LAPTOP with PUBLIC LAPTOP IP routed to a VIRTUAL MACHINE on ANOTHER LAPTOP with PUBLIC LAPTOP IP: I am not sure if two people can share a VM running a server operating system where two people would each use their own smartphones and one of the parties would access a friends VM through a public IP address. The user with the VM would have to share their PUBLIC IP address information and tethering password maybe for access as a GUEST USER. The external remote user 's laptop connection would have to be routed to the local user's Guest VM OS Ubuntu on a VM manager like VirtualBox, possibly then also to an application like an ORACLE database having the appropriate port number allowing for an inbound connection to an application. Can tethered remote smartphones route a friend's laptop with an external IP address, forwarding an inbound connection to a VM Guest OS? Can you also then route to a port restricting use to a certain application running on a server like a SQL Server database.
Notes: McAfee Security for T-Mobile has an option called "Sharing your device? Try Guest Mode". This app has two options called "Accessibility" and "Draw Over Apps". "Guest mode" it reads lets you control what others see on your device. I have not explored these yet. This is one side or part of Security. The other part would be the necessary routing of a Remote User to the a Guest VM OS on another laptop using an internet connection from another smartphone, this also possibly requiring inbound connection routing with Microsoft Windows Defender, routing the Guest user to the VM. I did find some router Android apps on Google Play. So, maybe somebody has tried this out.
