ad hoc wifi vista - wm6 network question - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

So big thanks for the helmi wm6 ROM which has so *ucking amazing! I have finally installed it on my aging BA m2000! A big thanks to the author of exitbootloader too, without which I would still be in brick mode.
Been playing with wifi networking, and succesfully setup an adhoc wireless connection on vista and used the m2000 with wm6 to connect with no problems. But ummm so does anyone know how I browse, locate, transfer files via the pda from the vista PC. I know my IP address but that's where I am stuck. Do I need an 3rd party app to locate and transfer?
I know there are a few things missing from that ROM such as remote deskop.
BTW wifi to the net seems stable and fully fuctional.
Thanks.

i think that it is not possible as far as i know , i would glade if it exists but i think it's a limitation with the Wifi driver. u can only use wifi for surfing the net . not even ActiveSync ( for security reasons [email protected]?# )

thanks for that. Yer probably right, going keep playing and let brain think about it for a bit see if I can come at it sideways with a sol. I post results if successful

Remote Desktop is available in xplodes zip of cabs. And, yes, you can browse network shares, copy/move files and so on. I have SKTools which can enable this, but you can also do it for free using the PPC version of Total Commander and several other tools.

War Driving using the Wizard

Hi all,
I have an i-mate k-jam and I was wandering what was the best software to automaticaly connect to any open wifi.
I'm currently using WiFiFoFum2 that has a really cool radar detection and the possibility to add them as POI in TOMTOM. But it doesn't try to connect to the wifi network it found.
Do you have a good war driving prog??? (Maybe one that can try to Hack the "password protected" network)??? In general, what tool do you use for war driving???
Thanks.
I agree this would be a neat idea, especially if used with a GPS/Google maps/etc. to mark open networks. Im in Boston, and open networks are ALL over the place.
I don't know if this is a good idea.. because many networks have no encryption but they re-direct you to a web page in order to register (they check the mac addr)
The best way is to use wifofum to find networks with ssid default, linksys, usrobotics, wireless, etc...
then you can connect and check your e-mails
I can add that even on a fast machine it takes quite some time to hack 128 WEP, Let alone WPA. You need to capture about a million packets if the encryption is 128 WEP, then you can crack the code, in about an hour on a 2 ghz lappy with 512 of ram (last time I tryed =)) 64 bit WEP may be possible on a pocket pc but I cant think of anyone who would still use that. That lappy could crack that in about 5 min, with a minimal amount of packets. Nice idea though :twisted:
Later; Lew
you don't need to crack anything...
I travel a lot...
I need max 10min walking with wifofum to locate an unencrypted access point that shares internet... with ssid default etc...
I was in amsterdam last week. I could find open APs anywhere (even inside the room of my hotel from a nearby house/company) !
And you are not breaking any law....
If you crack wep then you do...
many foolish people turn on WEP or WPA and use the routers default pass key, maybe a program with a list of default keys which it tries could be useful.
The defaults keys may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but there are lists available on the internet.

Try HitchHiker 0.4 beta1 (http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/) it's similar to wififofum but it will connect.
No WEP cracking or dictionary attack though.

Tried this - unfortunately it kept dying shortly after conecting to an available network - went back to wififofum2 - admitedly it doesnt connect but it does a good job of finding networks.
.NET 2.0 and Hitchhiker
Hitchhiker says it needs .net 2.0, and that is 24MB! Does it really need .net and how much free space does .net require? Will .net install on the sd card?
Found a cab file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51118&highlight=net
and it is 2MB. Would still like to know if this can install on the sd card, does it screw up .net version 1, which is needed for registry wizard, and is hitchhiker worth it?
bratag : i noticed that the Hitchhiker crashed due to trying to connect using Pocket MSN. Try registering your MSN using the pocket MSN.
I did it and it works find after that
Tried Hitchhiker in WM%
and it crashed incessantly, sometimes taking the whole device down. It was a nuisance to install .net 2, although it helps to use the cab file located at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51118
and then to follow the instructions involving shutting off the today screen items, soft reset, shut down all running programs (I used memmaid for this) and then install the cab. That got .net to run. Then I installed hitchhiker, but it seemed to conflict with the default wifi connection. I was near a wep enabled wifi connection of my own. Hitchhiker would accept the password and even connect me, then crash. I could still reach the internet even after it crashed, although a couple of times I had to do a soft reset because the screen wasn't responsive.
There was a report elsewhere of a t-mobile / hitchhiker problem, so perhaps it is the T-Mobile customization.
Is this really better than the native wm5 program for finding wifi's and connecting to them? Actually, often I can't connect to unprotected wifis very well, which is why I tried this program, but with 5 MB for .net and frequent crashes, it doesn't seem worth it. I would appreciate your reaction, however, since I would like to be able to use voip (sjphone) in Europe and readily connecting to wifis would help.
Yes Hitchhiker crashed for me too...
Finally I use an old version of WiFiFoFum = 0.3.3 to detect hotspot but unfortunaltely can't connect with it...
Ive tried Wi-Fi companion but it's a shareware and can't make it work on my 9100.
Does somebody has a complete list of the default ssid (maybe depend on the country)... linksys, usrobotics, wireless...
I'm really interested in the routers in France and USA.
Thanks
Wifi Companion is a pretty nice app. It has a connect option and has trace route and ping utilities as well..

I have used all of those mentioned and had problems with all of them freezing, crashing etc. I now use PocketWiNc, version 1.3 build 952. It is a special edition put out by PC mag. I dont remember where I got it, but I am sure a search can find it. It is free but has just a couple features that dont work in the free version (that I wouldnt use anyway).
PocketWinc the Special PC Mag Edition can be found here for free...

In The Netherlands you are breaking the law, well according to the new system. But if you can't protect your open wifi you are probably 99.999 of 100.000 shure you will not be seen on the network

Do you have your wifi on before starting the app?

the wifi problem always unsolved

Like already write, I'm looking to helps ref a singular problem in my ppc branded SB but with sw THC in english - I was buy it in thailand one month ago and until 20 of december everythink was ok, but...
I found that the ROM contain the: HTC TyTN 1.18.255.106 ExtROM WWE
The NETWORK MANAGER show me that the tytn is CONNECT to WIFI access point but in the CONNECTIONS always appear no any presence of WIRELESS SERVICE that I can select to use for browse my server , internet and/or skype call
If I use the usb connection there is connection, same by umts and gprs services
Really I don't unterstand what's happen!
I was already many time doing the hard reset but nothing is change!
What you think about?
May be that there are corrupted files that avoid to install few commands?
Regards Freddie
There are the other part of sw that are install in the device by the manufacturer or seller that are not include inside the rom place?
Thanks in advance for your helpings

go to setting >connections>network cards>
then
you will see a bunch of access points
when you see the one that says available
hold the styles down on it
tap connect
and you should be ok
also check the drop down menu on the bottom of the page
make sure its on both access points and whatever else it says
and also disable the cingular proxy
start>settings>connections>connections>setup proxy server>uncheck the uses proxy server to connect to the internet box
Sorry may be that I was wrong explaine you:
1. in the setting>connections>network cards = no problem my tytn find the access point and after my prompt connect without problem.
2. the problem is in the setting>connections>connections>advanced>select networks>my ISP>edit ... = where there are no tracks of the wireless network available to be select, in way to use the wifi connection that in setting>connections>network cards is ON
I wait your reply thanks
Black Eagle
black eagle,
I think I've undertand your question...
If you have found the WiFi access point and have gotten conected, there is no need to set a conection for that access point;At least, for me that it's not necesary.
When I go to a public place with wifi, or in my home LAN, just let the connections settings to "My ISP" without any changes (no new modem, nothing at all) and thats all, you can surf the net.
regards;
mablan
my problem solved
hi mablan,
thanx very much, fortunately i searched the forum for wifi and got ur post.
i too had the problem of getting good wifi connectivity over my adsl router witg my prophet( O2 neo) but not able to surf net in PIE. when i selected network as "My ISP" it all gone and now i am able to surf my adsl on neo, without any prblem.
thanx once again.
now only problem arises of autometically shifting/choosing of network for wifi and gprs. i remember it is stated somwhere in forum, i will make a try.
Hello mablan,
thanks for your interesting in my singular problem.
I understand what you mean but is not my case, even if my ppc in the setting>wireless lan>advanced>status result connected to the network, I cannot surf internet.
If I go to setting>networks cards i find my home hotspot that result waiting to connecting but ... always not connected
= in the wireless lan I am connected but in the network cards my connection don't exist - also in the connections>connections there is not the choice to select wireless network, don't exist
Hi BlackEagle, now I undestand your problem.
I'm sorry, I don't know what could be the cause of your problem.
Just a dumb question: Have you try to change the settings of your wireless network? I mean, in settings>connections>networkcards tap the name of the wn you want to use and change the settings of the Network key and 802.1x tabs...
If I found arround someplace something that can help you will let you know
regards and hope you find the answer..I'm sure someone here at the forum will help you

Hi,
.NET CF2 is the microsoft.NET software that can you download from msoft website:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
download it 22,6 mb and with your device connect by usb install it, when you start the installation, it find your device connect and install just the appropriate drivers, not all the sw

so?
i am having the same problem with windows M 6 so looking for solutions. how does it matter if someone else faced the same problem 2 years ago?
Its relevant because MS may not be offering the same software to download. I've noticed that some of the older solutions aren't any good for certain things anymore as the apps no longer work for the OS I'm using or that the app, though easily found a while ago, is no longer supported by certain sites.
2 years is forever in the computer world....

Windows Mobile 6 & Extra Dial String

Hello
I am using Windows Mobile 6 and want to make a connection from my Pocket PC to the internet using my mobile phone on a Bluetooth connection, on Windows Mobile 5 I would using the 'Extra Dial String' part while making the connection to *99# but in WM6 it has disappeared therefore I cannot make any connections.
Any tips?
Ta!
Kev.
Hi Kev, no but I am also needing that, if anyone could help It will be highly appreciated...
Same here I'm afraid...
WM6 did remove DUN networking on favor of PAN. It has been hacked to get back DUN. I am on dial up tonight do not able to find links for you but look for a thread I started about TOMTOM and DUN and look for mfrazzz's response. Also you can look for menneisys (sp?) posting on pocket pc mag or somewhere where he details how to do the hack.
In WM6 is really easy..
It includes an application called "Internet Sharing" (it must be in programs).
To use it, you only have to chose in 2 combo boxes:
1- If you want to share the connection via USB or Bluetooth
2- Which network connection you want to share
Then tap on Connect, and then plug the USB cable (or connect via bluetooth).
After this, you phone would be recognized by windows as a network connection (the one you shared).
That's it...
Just keep in mind that if your connection uses a proxy, then you have to set this proxy in the program that you want to use in the PC too.

hey seems u trying to connnect to idea internet connection ! well i have the same connection on the go on my pc using my universal. hey guys if u ppl get to know about it do share how do to the hack i tried dearching but cudn find much
This was a well known problem that was discussed somewhere. If I remember correctly, the idea of the solution is pretty simple, but the implementation is rather tedious.
As a matter of fact, those connection settings including extra modem init strings are stored in the HKCU-Comm->RasBook-<connection name> registry under the keys "DevCfg" and "Entry".
If you export them in ASCII, you will know what I mean. They claimed that you can export these registries (esp the "DevCfg" key) from a WM5 device (with your init strings of course), and import it back to WM6. Things would then work as you wished.
But the trouble is you got to get a WM5 machine or someone to try to do it for you.

Remote Control Mobile Device

Hey, perhaps I am blind, but I can't find anything here that would help me.
I am looking for a Software that helps me controlling my Mobile Device (HTC Touch Diamond) from my Computer, via LAN, Bluetooth, best would be over Active Sync - USB
Does anyone know there something helpful?
Thanks a lot

Please have a look under www.mymobiler.com
Thanks! This Software is great!!! Better then I expected!

hi guys,
perhaps I am blind too, but I can't find anything here that would help me.
I am looking for a Software that helps me controlling my Mobile Device (HTC Touch Diamond) from my Computer, via internet. I search a software like VNC but working in reverse!!! So, i need to run a program installed on my diamond while the phone is several miles far from me
Does anyone know there something helpful?
Thanks a lot
P.S. sorry for my english....
Use VNC server (pocketvnc) instead of client.
vnc connection problem
hi HwangPL,
thank you very much for your replay. After your post i've downloaded pocketVNC server version 1.4.2.0(demo version), but i'm not be able to use it. The vnc client on my pc says "connection failure". I think I'll go crazy before sunday......
If you or anybody else have a solution please post it!!!!!!!!!
Thank you one more time.
Try to use old VNC Viewer on your PC. I cannot connect when my mobile phone uses GPRS connection, but it works with WIFI.
I cannot test it right now, cause I don't have any WIFI connection (it surely worked some time ago).
I'll try to test it tomorrow maybe
I think there are a lot of problems with the type of connection. I use a hsdpa connection with my diamond, while my pc is connected to internet with another mobile phone that works with an umts connection. I'm not sure how to configure the firewall. However i'm not sure how to configure the tabs of vncpocketserver. I think that's why i'm not understand very well english (i'm italian) and on the web i didn't found anything wrote in my language.
So, you are my only, precious, last chance......

OK. I used vncserver v.1.4.5.0 demo, on my pc VNC Viewer Enterprise E4.5.1 via WIFI (on mobile as internet connection) and it worked. Goodluck!
hi, i came back!!!
Finally i've found the solution. The problem is the IP address. My operator doesn't give me a public IP but a NAT address. This is a very big problem because the phone can't accept any type of connection by the web. Fortunately i found a beutiful program called "Hamachi" that works on both the computer and the PocketPC. So i resolved my problems.
Thanks very much to all for suggestions.....
Hey there,
I am having i think a small problem with both SOTi and My mobiler.
I Have a Touch diamond and when i am seeing the camera on the PC all goes black in PC preview, but on device i can see the camera images.
Can anyone help.
Brgds
Hi
Strange nobody else having same problem.
I believe the reason with the no preview its due to the autofocus, can anyone check on this.
Tks in advance

[Q] Problems with Internet sharing

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me with this problem. I recently got a Shift X9501 from China, it is already liberated with WM6 working (it has Start menu, internet explorer, USB Tools, etc.). However, the only thing I couldn't find is the Internect sharing application. It doesn't show up in the Start -> Programs folder nor can I find it in the Windows folder. I was testing the 3G connection on the Shift using my iPhone SIM card, and it only worked on the WinMo side not the Vista side. I called HTC and AT&T customer services and was told that it was because my SIM card won't allow desktop Windows to use the 3G service. So I'm guessing my only solution is to use the Internet Sharing. Please, anyone could give me a hand on this? Thx!!
Internet sharing is possible. There is nothing that you need to do or run on the WM side.
Internet sharing can only be done from the Windows side as wifi and bluetooth is only accessible there, for connection to your external device, e.g. laptop or iphone.
Check this thread for instruction on internet sharing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488872&highlight=sharing
If it doesn't work then you may need to check your windows services to check that the internet sharing service is enabled.
Then it should work.
Hi Flanimal, thanks for the reply. But I don't think that's what I am meaning. From what I learned from the forum and other sources, I think the original Shift should come with an application called internet sharing in Snapvue even without liberation, and it can share the 3G connection from Snapvue to Vista. The application is also a standard one for WM6. I was wondering since mine is of model X9501 and it's already liberated when I got it. I doubt is it possible that the liberation deleted that function? Please help if you have any idea, a great many thanks!
I got a partial solution here by myself, and am writing it here in case anyone has similar problem. I tried to download an application named ICS Control 0.21, and copied the required IPNat.dll to the windows directory, and it turned out this way won't work as it told me loading the NAT driver failed. Then I tried to copy the IntShrUI.exe and intshare.dll to the windows directory (which are official WM6 files downloaded from somewhere else in this forum), and they also didn't work, and when I run the internet sharing application (IntShrUI.exe), it prompted that the connection could not be established with unknown reason. I then tried to backup my ROM and flash with a new one from the forum, and I failed and the SnapVue was dead. Then I found a tread in the forum telling me how to hard reset the SnapVue, and restored to the original state when I got the Shift. I thought it was really the original state, but this time the IntShrUI.exe worked! Vista is now connected with SnapVue and used it as an internet connection (later I did some registry work and the problem occured again, which forced me to hard reset my Shift again). However, the problem is that the connection is still restricted to local access only. I would guess that this is still my SIM card's fault, since it is for iPhone, and both AT&T and HTC people believed it won't work for desktop windows like Vista. I'm about to give up further exploring on this, and maybe I'll get a SIM card for laptop to have a try. Still, if anyone has any good solution for this, please reply to this thread. Any help will be appreciated.
