Tethering Driver

Question, I haven't got internet set up yet at my new place and I want to set up my wife's laptop for tethering off my aria, cm6.1 rc1 so just wondering what driver I need to install to get the tethering to work. It works on my desktop but I've never had my phone hooked up to her laptop. Any help with this is greatly appreciated...

If u have cm6 you can use portable hotspots menu-settings-wireless networks-portable hotspots it turns your phone into a wireless router/modem

Wireless Tether

Hey guys,
I previously owned an htc hero and had a fantastic wireless tether app on the phone. I can't seem to find the app in the market and am wondering if i can find it somewhere on xda. I've tried everything i can find on the market but nothing seems to help. Barnacle Legacy tether works but then gives me a NAT error.
Thanks for your help.

You need to be rooted.

Seems to work great. I was able to tether and watch netflix in the car on a laptop.

Has anyone tried this on froyo? I was hoping we'd finally get infrastructure mode but I still show up as ad hoc to my laptop.

It won't be infrastructure...for it to be infrastructure it has to be configured for it by the author specifically for each device. There are plenty asking for it from Droid X to etc so we are in a long line...just wait for Official Froyo so we can get MobileAP..

Wireless tether 4 root and Xbox live

Just wondering if anyone else is using the wireless tether app for their 360? I didn't think it would work since it doesn't work for wii but I just tried to connect and it worked, been playing multiplayer halo reach on it all week!
*disclaimer need the new xboxes I think, but maybe old one with the wifi adapter thing

I don't have a wifi xbox, but when My internet was down once I used my phone as wifi for my laptop, then shared my laptop's interent via cable... worked fairly well.

actually, wireless tether 2.06 should work for xbox or wii... it's in infrastructure mode on these phones. On older phones (like I came from a hero) it could only do ad hoc

I've used it for my 360...mostly black ops..but it works

what am i doing wrong
i was hoping some one could help me out, or at least point me in the right direction here. I'm trying to connect through my droid x. It's rooted and i have wireless tether for root users. I've watched videos and read forums and followed them step by step. I've also tried pdanet and internet sharing through my computer and cannot get that to work either. Like i said i've watched videos and followed them exactly so i will take any help i can get. Thank you.

Are you picking up the adhoc network on the xbox?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

i can pick up my droid x's wireless network, or atleast it shows up when i scan for wireless networks. and when i try and connect it cannot connect to "androidtether" because it cannot find the IP addresses. so as for the ad hoc networks i'm not entierly sure. I'm kinda new at this type of stuff so you'll have to fogive me. But under configure connections it shows up as "infrastructure" as other forums has said it should.

Wireless Tether

Is there a way to have our Xoom connect to the wireless tether ad-hoc instead of having to uses native 3G mobile hot spot app on fascinate. I know when I had the galaxy tab someone made a wpa.supplicant (think that's how it was spelled) file to put somewhere in /system/? So it could connect to phones using wireless tether.

Only if your Xoom is Rooted can you connect to Ad Hoc after a minor hack.

Root your phone and use wireless tether 3.0

As everyone else as said before, the only way right now is through rooting.

Root your phone. It's easier and you can share with things other than your xoom then.

Have any of you been able to connect to an ad-hoc connection with a xoom? Most of the connections have been made through handsets that do not use ad hoc mode.

What "minor hack"?????

His phone is rooted already if hes already using the Wireless Tether App from the market.
He just needs to install the newest beta which has infrastructure mode instead of Ad-Hoc, and the Xoom will identify it without any hacks on the Xoom.

Thanks for the input, but these apps are phone specific. I'm well aware of the wireless tether apps, both for root and the experimental 3.0. I've tried just about everything out there and can't get the Xoom to see my CDMA Hero running AOSP 2.3.3. Even the bluetooth tether will not connect. My laptop sees it fine, my Xoom sees an EVO that uses wireless tether. I'm afraid I may have to ditch the old Hero...

You have used 3.0 pre 4¿ that's what works for me
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Thanks again, pre 4 errors out. It does not support cdma hero. I'll b looking into settings on the Xoom now.

ROM that allows free wifi hotspot on T-Mobile?

I was using AOKP 4.2 and it worked for a bit but since the 4.2.1 ROMs have launched i get a T-Mobile redirect when trying to use the hotspot feature.

A way to get around that is to use Firefox as your PC internet.
Phones don't apply tho, there UA strings show as mobile.

Piggybackign onto this thread...
I definitely would like to be able to get access to all the AT&T hotspots that come in carrier-ridden phones. I use AT&T's service so hopefully it wouldn't be a hard thing to do? I'm assuming it's not possible.

Download pdanet, WiFi tether app, or any tethering app on the play store.

Sorry to piggy back onto this topic but is it possible on AT&T if I download a tethering app such as the ones mentioned above that I could tether my nexus 10 free of charge? (As in them not cancelling my unlimited and putting me on a more expensive limited tethering plan).

Although I haven't tried it on my N4 yet. Wifi tether worked beautifully on my CDMA sprint HTC Evo 4g with a custom rom (mikg)...
