When i turn on usb tethering in atrix phone windows computers starts connection but the adapter has no ip address and i can't access the internet.
If i set ip address manually in windows sometimes i can access the internet.
I also have tried "wired tether for root users" and it doesn't work either.
Carrier doesn't block tether usage.
Any idea how to solve this?
I think the dhcp server in the phone is not working.
I'm looking for a solution not involving third party apps. Just android phone and maybe command line.

And you really couldn't mention at least what ROM you're using?
How come people never mention the most critical information when asking questions?
EDIT: I see I was late... but still.
Also why can't people learn that questions expecting answers need to go to Q&A?

What are you guys using to tether via usb? I've searched and found nothing. It's on my roommates non rooted x10a.
I use PDAnet for USB tethering. There's also an app called Easy Tether, but I haven't tried it...

Hello,
Do not know about android market there, but in india, pdanet and easy tether both are available for the X10. I mysef am using easy tether...works gr8

I use the free version of EasyTether. But, it doesnt open https websites, which can be frustrating.
Some carriers block certain apps especially AT&T, i have a X10a R2CA016 i just used sideload wonder machine you need a pc though and for those mac users i would recomend usind parallels desktop.
Other than that it depends on how you do it!
I need help i have been trying to get my phone to tether but no luck i have PdaNet installed but my computer states that the phone is not attached when obviously it is, tried barnacle no luck either, aka ive tried a couple apps some of them give me an error saying that my kernel does not support this feature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any you guys have a suggestion?
would be greatly appreciated

I did a quick search here but could not find any answer.
I am running rooted Android 2.2 on my Fascinate. PDANet works just fine every time I start it. But after a few minutes the "USB connected" message would pop up and prompts if I want to connect the phone as mass storage. I already checked the USB Debugging option and tried all three USB connection setting options (mass storage, media player, ask when connected) but the problem still remains. To prove it's not a PDANet related problem, I also tried EasyTethering and got the same issue.
Has anybody here experienced the same problem with tethering? I used wireless tether before but the connection keeps dropping. So I really want to be able to tether through USB. Thanks in advance.
Forgot to mention that my computer is a MacBook Pro.
It is a Mac issue. I have a MacBook pro and I have the same issue. It doesn't do this when I am connected and tethered to a PC. Anybody have a Mac solution for this?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I had suspected Mac might have been the culprit. Thank you for your response, otherwise I would have flashed back to 2.1 by now.
Do you think running parallel desktop on Mac and tethering through the virtual Windows is going to help? I know the hardware is still Mac. Unfortunately that Macbook is the only machine that I need to tether.

Yes, I think running windows would probably solve the issue although I'm not sure. It's in theory. I think the Mac OS is the issue. If you try it let me know the results please. I haven't done it because I would have to format my Mac partition and that means that I would have to backup my Mac and that means getting an external HD. Know what I mean?

Parallel desktop runs Windows on top of the Mac OS. So it shouldn't cause this much disturbing, although it would be less likely to help with this tethering issue compared to bootcamp --- I will update this thread after I try. Thanks again.

Actually, what I was talking about was bootcamp. Sorry, I misunderstood. I think you're right, I don't think the parallel would work. Either way let me know. Thanks.

Alright, Currently I have the 2.3.4 gingerbread version of the Atrix rooted. For some reason I can not get any of the wireless tethering root apps to work. This includes Wireless tether for root users, wifi tether and barnacle. None of these would work on my previous 2.2.2 root either. Any help? the logs say the programs are running fine but none of my devices can pick up the phone. This includes laptops and me Eee Pad. I have changed the SSID, added and removed wep. I do not know what I am doing wrong....
I know this probably won't help much but the same thing was happening to me when I first rooted my Atrix and the Wireless Tether app. I turned off the password and everything worked fine after that. I can always see who is trying to connect to my network anyway so I know if anybody is trying to steal my network.

I did try that and still nothing... very frustrating really. Mind taking me through your settings and which version (maybe a link to where you got it). It is possible I am missing something very simple and just do not know it....
Why not root and change the entitlement check then use the built in mobile hotspot app.

They can tell much easier that you are tethering without a plan if you are using custom APN's.
The custom apn will not work on gingerbread. The ota will not allow changes like froyo did.

Yea.... I am trying to not get caught. I mostly want this feature for my Eee Pad when I am out and about.... Anyone else having luck with root tether apps for their Atrix? If so did you have to do anything specific?

I got slightly different issue, wireless tether for root - clients can see the AP and connect at layer 2, but refuse to take a DHCP address and never actually get an IP address. This happens both with and without encryption.

Hi guys,
Im trying to help a friend, He has the Verizon Samsung Fascinate, the phone is rooted, has super user. I Dl'd and installed the Android wifi tether 2.07apk from the google dev site. started up the app. started tether without issue, looked on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet, found the android tether wifi, tried to connect and message pops up on my tablet stating something about adhoc is not supported.
I have a Droid Incredible running Nil's sense 3.5 rom and have the same android tether app, I can start up tethering, turn tethering on, connect and surf the web on my tablet, with no mention of the adhoc compatibility thing.
Im not up on Samsung devices, I have always had HTC phones. So im not sure if this a Samsung issue or what.
I compared his tether app settings to mine and both are the same.
Im at a loss here and could really use some advice about how to fix the issue.
Thanks
Hitch
Try downloading the newer version 3 beta 6 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk&can=2&q=
Be sure to go into settings and change device-profile to samsung fascinate.
It may work with that version...

Thanks for moving the thread, I had posted another topic in the Q&A.
The good news is 96 people have read the post, the bad news is not one person posted any ideas, This usually happens when you cannot post in the rooted section.
Still hoping someone has some ideas to help out.

Which rom is installed? Is it just stock Touchwiz with root? I ask because if your friend is willing to try CM7, the built-in tethering works beautifully.

its called Evil Fascinate from the samsung galaxy forums. I told him he needs to start getting his roms from here, he just rooted for the first and has a lot to learn.
I know he likes roms that are really themed, If you any suggestions for a stable, themed rom that has tether baked in I will flash it for him and see if he likes it.
Thanks

I have tried barnicle, but We get the same message when trying to connect from our tablet to the phone (AdHoc is not supported) and it wont connect, no matter what tether app I try I get the AdHoc not supported message.
I dont get this message when tethering my tablet to my Droid Incredible.
Thats why I was thinking it had to do with Samsung firmware, but I really have no idea and Im hoping that you Samsung guys can get my friend fixed up.
An easier question might be "what tether app do you use on your Fascinate"
Hitch
I use open garden, but I have never tried tethering to a tablet...only pc's.
Meh, easy fix for the ad-hoc thing. In wifi tether (I use pre10, 6 should work) go to settings, set your device profile to Google NexusOne and your setup method to Netd (master) and it will run in infrastructure mode and run fine. Tablets will connect and receive internet.
hello guys
Im new to the forum. just have a quick question for you all.
I have done hours of research and come up with nothing to help me solve my problem.
here goes..
so i have the samsung galaxy sIII and i use it to tether with my ps3, but when i am getting a strict nat type.( no good lol )
so realy my question is, is it possible to get custom firmware to get around this problem. i emailed samsung about this and they said that only custom firmware would sort my problem. is this true? any one any ideas?
i used to own a i used to own a zte racer wich did the same(strict nat type). I flashed that with a custom rom and abracadabra open nat type.
so please if you nice people have any info or suggestions on this it would be very much appreciated.
thanks
If you have a rooted device you can type:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
To enable ip forwarding.
You might need to use iptables to change routing.

Off the top of my head, I can't, maybe when I get home from work.
To root your device there are plenty of threads that can help you. There is also a cm9 (a custom rom) build out there that supports the sgs3. As well as plenty of instructional posts.

anyone else tether their sgs3 to their ps3? im having issues trhing to connect my ps3. it worked fine when i first got the phone but then my ps3 stopped connecting giving me a connection error code. i was able to tether with my old htc desire hd and sensation just fine. maybe samsung has some type of network security. if you got yours working please let me know how got it to work.
for those wondering. mobile data is cbeap here in cambodia and i dont use the net at home besides on my phone since i have internet at work and use it there for 10 -12 hours a day.

I am able to tether but I get a strict Nat type when playing call of duty and some other game.
I still haven't found a solution to this. Samsung told me if I install a custom from that would sort it. I have tried several but still not luck.
when i was tethering from my sensation i too would get a strict NAT type but i was still able to play, im not sure what strict NAT type is. i just want to be able to connect so i can enjoy some online play. im using a custom rom now but its Samsung based. i hope i dont have to go to an AOSP or AOKP based rom.

I to am on a custom rom that shod not affect anything. All I do is open portable hotspots and put the same details in the ps3 and it should work.
That's all I did. Strict Nat type is where you can only join other people with the same or open Nat.
Its all so will talk longer to find and join games.
