I have figured out how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes my Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (for the Hermes). It should currently be "BTPAN1".
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc")
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
And it works!
Interestingly, while IS was enabled, wifi stayed on and connected when the phone went to standby mode. Normally wifi turns off to save battery during standby. I imagine this will drain your battery in a hot minute, so bring your charger.
UPDATE (28-Oct-2007): Attached are some more beta releases of patched intshare.dll. I've created versions for most of the adapter names people have requested. By renaming this dll to intshare.dll and copying it to \Windows, Internet Sharing will use TIACXWLN1 (or whichever dll you use) when Bluetooth PAN is selected. I.e., if you use this, you will not need to make the registry changes above.
This will handle the registry part, but of course you'll still need to set up the ad-hoc network on your own.
UPDATE (03-Nov-2007): I've attached a beta version of the patched Internet Sharing app. It's in its own cab so it won't overwrite your existing IS. This app replaces Bluetooth PAN with 802.11b/g Wireless Ethernet. No registry hacking required. This app is well suited to replace the MS version on cooked ROMs.
If you use an adapter other than TIACXWLN1 then replace intshare.dll just as before.
UPDATE (08-Nov-2007): Attached is v 0.9.1 of the Internet Sharing Mod. This update addresses the 10 minute disconnect bug most people have experienced.

This is the first thing I'll try when i'm at home again!
I can't believe this! Waiting for this since i got my Hermes. Thx for this development. This is the greatest effort since Hard-SPL and WM6 upgrade.
Now I can connect my XBOX360 to the Internet without starting my PC and sharing it over PC-LAN. USB-Charger is at the Front of the XBOX360.
I hope it will work.
You said the Max-Connections can be reworked. Does this mean it will support Ad-Hoc AND WLAN-Routing to many recepients too?
This worked for me too on a Kaiser/TYTN II
I'm doing some additional experimentation to see what exactly this can do - for instance to replace a bluetooth connection to a laptop with a wifi one?

not sure what you mean by replacing the connection. With ICS, obviously you cant share your connection over BT while sharing it over WIFI. and you can normally use wifi to connect to another computer by using an ad-hoc connection and manually entering a private ip on the same subnet for each computer.
this is awesome. worked perfectly for me.
After trying to stuff around with a proxy server for days and then you come along with something as simple as this....

Were you able to use more than one client connected?
I'll admit..when I saw this my first thought was that this was another "How can I do internet sharing via wifi" and the title was just misleading..instead I find myself very impressed with your accomplishment. Very well done! As a "hack" untill you figure out how to mod the dll which I'm sure is only a matter of time now that you have pointed everyone in the right direction, you can export the registry key for both the Bluetooth adapter and the Wifi one and "import" whichever one you want to use at a given time...it's not pretty but it should work.
Some issues of concern would be that the AP is wide open and can be connected to by anyone with no password etc...the bluetooth pairing allowed some security but using the wifi doesn't have the same shared key protection...or am I missing something obvious?

When I used it I was only able to get one client to connect, however there is a reg value, HKLM\Comm\BTPAN1\Parms\MaxConnections that may help if it is changed from 1 to 2 (or whatever). But I haven't tried.
Interestingly, while IS was enabled, wifi stayed on and connected when the phone went to standby mode. Normally wifi turns off to save battery during standby. So that's a good thing, although I imagine this will drain your battery in a hot minute, so bring your charger.
I was going to release a patched intshare.dll so that the normal Internet Sharing utility can do this, but I'm having trouble changing the section addresses in the dll to the right values after I add data. If anyone knows how to do this PM me and I'll give you the details.

thank you.
this work actually stemmed from my trying to share my phone's tethered connection with another client. by which i mean, my laptop is in a cafe online through my 8525 using Internet Sharing(IS) over usb. and i want to provide a connection, through wifi or ethernet, to my gfriends laptop. this actually isnt normally possible b/c WM IS and XP Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) both have 192.168.0.1 hard-coded as the gateway IP. so the phone uses that IP to give my laptop a connection, and my laptop tries to use the same IP with ICS. anyway, it fails because of this. i was able to get past that problem by going into Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Network Adapters -> Remote-NDIS and manually setting 192.168.1.1. This lead to the breakthrough with regards to wifi. prior to that id been trying all different ways to have the wifi adapter spoof the bt pan, however i could never get dhcp to assign an IP to the client. this is what it took.
and it's great that DHCP does in fact work here. it makes it dead easy for any arbitrary client to get online. just join the adhoc network as if it were an AP.
anyway, security-wise the ad-hoc network can use WEP or WPA, so security doesn't have to be a problem. the procedures for doing this are the same as normal.
and i haven't tried that reg key to enable multiple clients. but it looked like an obvious choice. i'll leave that as an exercise for the reader

I ran into same issue with XP internet sharing. Another workaround is to have a linux machine do NAT( since you can specify the IP used there) to whatever other clients you want and have it connected via bluetooth dun or bluetooth PAND (which is the solution I use to give internet to my replaytv and a couple of laptops in the house)...my edge connection is my main internet feed..a cacheing proxy such as wwoffle, squid of my personal preference "polipo" helps alot to when using gprs/edge etc since it helps with the latency.

Impact on BT?
What a brill find. Well done.
Does it break anything with bluetooth?
Tx
can someone elaborate what this is for, maybe give a sample scenario on using this?
Is this basically allowing a computer to use the internet connection of the pda phone (ie EVDO, 1RxTT, etc.) through wifi, instead of bluetooth or USB cable? (ie tethering?)
if someone manages to get this working with xbox 360 make a tutorial plx ;D

thats what i wanna know , could i use my hsdpa connection via wifi to my psp?
I'll do a tutorial when i'm at home again. Maybe somebody with know-how can make a cab-file v1.0 for this "WLAN-Modem hack".
This surely will be a great app.
yes, your xbox and your psp should be able to connect just fine, as long as they support ad-hoc wireless (which i imagine they must). this hack will allow the phone to act like any normal wifi access point. the only difference is the client has to be seraching for ad-hoc networks in addition to normal APs.
the difficulty with creating a cab file at this point is that the registry setting is not persistent. that is, it must be set each time you enable IS. the setting is lost every time IS starts. this is why i am trying to patch the dll - so wifi will work as a normal, additional option in Internet Sharing (and hopefully this should be ready soon).

when you say click "IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi" do you mean the wifi network adapters in my case would be "tiacxwln compatible wireless ethernet"? im trying it on a 6700 WM5
I would LOVE to get this working on my TMO WM6 Wing, but I'm having issues:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
Got it - except on my device it's Programs -> accessories -> IS
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
Check - but is the T1ACXWLN1 device specific? If so, how can I find the interface ID on my device?
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
For me it's settings -> connections -> network cards, but I don't have an IEEE 802.11 listed. I connected to an existing AP, and found that my 'SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter' does receive a DHCP address, so I tried changing it to 192.168.1.1...
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
Found this and set up my WING-FI network.
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
The client PC connects to WING-FI, but never receives an IP address...
What could I be doing wrong? Is it the hardware ID in the registry? I've created the network with WPA, then after the connection problems, with no security - but still no change.
Thanks!!

Very likely the string TIACXWLN1 needs to be something different. Check HKLM\Software\WZCSV\Parameters\Interfaces\
There should be a key there with the name of your wireless adapter. It should end in "1".
And if not there, it should also be visible under HKLM\Comm\
Let us know how it works out.
EDIT: I just noticed you typed T1ACXWLN1. The string must be TIACXWLN1. That's "i" not one.
fluxist
I own a PPC6700 as well and I was able to get it working no problem other than the fact that our wireless adapter is not the same as the one mentioned. The reg edit is the same it's just the first network adapter in the list when you create the network settings.

good work man
So I just got my touchpad today, and was made aware that it doesn't support ad-hoc networks, which I use somewhat frequently to share a wired connection via my laptop. I just bypassed it by using my phone as a hotspot (android creates infrastructure), but after a little searching I found a nice little video on youtube about how to create an infrastructure network from Windows 7.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klHzMyYFGeQ
Lets all give this guy some thanks.
For those of you that can't/won't go to youtube, the general gist of it is that you need an unused wifi network adapter and an internet connection. You then set up the network by running as administrator:
Code:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=testwifi key="123456789012"
Then you share the internet connection with the (maybe new) Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. Now you're ready to start it with:
Code:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
And you can check its status via:
Code:
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
cannot create Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
dorsai3d, thanks for the information. I had been trying to use my Sprint TP2 as a wifi router, and was getting really frustrated. If this would have worked, it would have been awesome.
So what I am trying to do is use USB to theter to my Windows 7 64bit laptop, and use the Wireless adapter on the laptop in infructure mode to theter to Touchpad.
When I run the
"netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=testwifi key="123456789012" command, it runs fine (as admin).
"The hosted network mode has been set to allow.
The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed. "
++
This is the error I get when I run "netsh wlan start hostednetwork"
"The hosted network couldn't be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation."
++
output for
"netsh wlan show hostednetwork"
Hosted network settings
-----------------------
Mode : Allowed
SSID name : "testwifi"
Max number of clients : 100
Authentication : WPA2-Personal
Cipher : CCMP
Hosted network status
---------------------
Status : Not available
+++
No virtual adapters were created, like in the video, nor was there one to begin with.
So I am guessing that is the crux of my problem
I use Ad-hoc mode quite often, I have Intel 4965AGN for my wifi adapter on this laptop.
and I use my 3G on the Touch Pro 2 at my primary internet at home
Anybody running into similar issue, or might know whats going on. Will appreciate any help, thanks.
loving my touchpad btw
As this is a relatively new feature, you may need to reinstall/update the drivers for your current wifi adapter. I'm not a big networking person, so I'm afraid I won't be too terribly much help, but maybe we can get this all headed in the right direction. I'm afraid it looks like there won't be a solution for getting windows mobile to create an infrastructure hotspot if it's one of the new selling points in Windows 7.
For reference, I'm using the Intel WiFi link 1000 BGN and the virtualized adapter was already there for me.
Yup, driver issue. Looks like I might have to buy a second wireless nic that supports this feature. Just knowing that this is possible it a great start
now to find a cheap usb wifi nic that dose support this. I have a Intel 5300AGN on my work laptop, I think that is supported.
thanks for your help though.
edit:
lookes like even Intel 5300AGN dose not support VWIFI

Hi all,
Assuming the following:
Android 2.3.7 device is connected to an IPv6 internet connection
Tethering is legal for your device/carrier
The ipv6-test gives 10/10 (perfect score) for IPv6 readiness for your phone, and you can access e.g. http://ipv6.google.com using the phone itself
You want to tether to a PC using USB
Device is rooted
Is there a way to give the PC access to the phone's IPv6 internet connection?
I'm assuming that we can't give the PC a public IPv6 address, because the phone is probably only allotted one IPv6 address from the carrier; plus they might treat your plan differently or something if you try to claim another IP address (it's an unnecessary complexity)
So what we actually need to do is, to create a NAT IPv6 space on the device, just like we do for IPv4 when we tether, and provision an IP to the PC that way. Then we have to do something for DNS; I guess we can use OpenDNS's AAAA servers.
Do any of the existing tethering methods support this at all, or is this something I'd have to do manually? Also, is it possible even in theory on Android 2.3, or is it known that a newer version of Android will enable it?
Thanks.
a year later...

Hi, the stock phone limits the hotspot/ tethering functionality. Any recommendations on how to bypass the same or an app that allows unrestricted tethering?
My unlocked Samsung phone allows full tethering.
Thanks in advance!
use FoxFi or PDANet+ (theyre made by same people)
-i have attached the unlocker key to unlock unlimited data usage.
Thanks for the key, but FoxFi doesn't seem to work on the OnePlus n200 T-Mobile variant.

It does, you also have to install the base PDAnet+ app. The unlock key just removes the apps limits.
Using USB tether appears to work... the key is that you DO NOT tether through the native android app, instead you connect it to PC and just leave it as charging/transfer mode. then inside of the PDAnet+ app you allow tether usage from in the app. it will use ADB to share the internet so all you have to do is allow access when the popup comes up on your screen.
yes, you have to install a companion app on the computer.
Another way to setup unlimited fast-speed tethering is by using ssh tunneling inside of a (free, open source) termux app on the phone.
The setup is somewhat cumbersome but offers very reliable results once configured. In addition, the minimal configuration does not require paid apps. To automate the process two paid apps (Tasker and Termux:Tasker) are needed but for many people the investment may be worth it since tasker is an extremely powerful and useful app on its own and termux:tasker is not expensive (it can also be useful beyond tethering for automating other advanced things termux could do).
The link to instructions is at the end of the post. Below is a brief (or not so brief) description description of required configuration (complimented by automation steps) but go to the link to get a proper guide.
1. Install termux application, install python 2 package inside of termux and run configuration command in the link below.
2. install openssh package inside termux application. Configure ssh server as described in the link, this involves copying the client identity key to an appropriate termux folder.
3. Once you verified that you can ssh into the phone's ssh server (with hotspot running, of course) you can tether the phone: start ssh server on the phone by running the command "sshd -dD" inside termux app on the phone ("d" option is for debugging and can be dropped); connect your laptop to hotspot; run an appropriate ssh command on the laptop (see the link); configur proxy on the laptop; enjoy.
4. One of the configuration steps above involves figuring out the hotspot IP. It can be done in several ways. It is shown as the device WiFi/hotspot IP on the phone and as a gateway IP on a tethered device. On tethered linux device the hotspot has hostname "_gateway" one can use hostname instead of IP. I do not know if the same is true for Mac or Windows.
5. You can automate the process by installing two paid apps: "Tasker" and "Termux:Tasker". With these apps you can automatically start/stop ssh server on the phone whenever hotspot is active.
6. Similarly, on the laptop you should be able to automate proxy configuration and ssh connection whenever you are connected to a specific network.

i was using easytether for a while but tbh it was a pain with having to installing software on my pc and lag in games so i ended up rooting and using vpn hotspot with adguard. works like a charm
if you have access to kernel source, you should be able to enable ttl changing like I did on my S10+. Then once the new kernel was built, I could change ttl for my native hotspot to always show as if it was using on device data instead of metered wifi hotspot. So I can now use my native hotspot uncrippled and my carrier see's all my traffic as normal on device data and not hotspot data

Ah ok, then PdaNet is pry your best bet. Sucks but better than nothing...
PDANet+ on Linux works great for me. Start the Wifi Direct hotspot on the Android app, and then connect to the SSID it creates normally using network manager or whatever you use. Trick then is to enter the proxy settings into advanced networks settings. Works great with no noticeable lack of speed. If you use the terminal and APT, or whatever the equiv is in your distro, you'll also want to edit the .conf file to include the details, for apt.conf, it's something like "Acquire::http:roxy "192.168.49.1:8000";"

You must not be on Android 11? PdaNet was a PITA for me on 11. PdaNet proxy changed on every run of that app so I was constantly changing proxy in Linux. Still though, better than nothing if you can't do the ttl mod.

Actually I am on Android 11. The proxy address never changes. I wonder what that is a result of? Have you also installed FoxFi along with the key for full version? Not sure if that makes a difference, but that's my setup and it's been rock solid... as long as it's a computer to phone. My desire for a way to connect my Xbox to the phone and avoid the mobile hotspot usage hit, well that's another story for another board.
Got a free n200 through tmobile to use as a hotspot device for my pc. I was previously getting the job done by using a galaxy note 3 and setting my pc's ttl to 65 but apparently that doesn't work with the newer phones.
I did some searching online and haven't been able to get a definitive solution to bypassing the hotspot throttle, as people seem to have varying results.
Had a lot of issues with PDAnet+, so it's definitely not a long-term solution for me.
Just sent an unlock request to OnePlus, hopefully by next week I'll get the unlock file and I'll root the phone. I'm assuming that rooting the phone will expand my options for what I want to do. Anyone have a solution that worked for them?
Yo, it's like dns hijacking, in fact, this is what you have to do to bypass this.
I'll paint a scenario, see what you make of it...
I plug my sim into a wifi router, in the control panel of this router, I set the wifi to use the 2nd ip, (yes, all isp's actually give you 2 ip's, one that is public, one the isp use's to spy on you, and the one you see in your ethernet card, usually 192.168.1.1.
Your wifi router runs adb, so it is on a different network, being 192.168.0.1, if you set your connecting device to your public ip shown by the router, and nxbogus domain your isp's private number seen in the router, (usually 100.whatever) and their dns, then set your prefered dns in the connecting device, you will bypass the throttling, but you will notice something else...
They throttle you by lowering your phones coverage lol...
Notice in your wifi setup pages your signal will drop from say 75% to 25%, and if you check the config logs, you'll see your limited 90% by the isp..
Yup, I'm isp level in this department..
didn't understand half of what you said. can you break it down a lil bit more?

yea i'm using easytether rn, very similar to foxfi and pdanet+... not a permanent solution however, as it tends to randomly disconnect and i often get kicked out of games due to "network lag". Speeds are exponentially faster than the throttled hotspot, however, so i wont complain.
still, would be nice if there was a solution to this for the native hotspot/tether features... tried everything with apns and changing the ttl on the phone but it didn't work.
looks like someone found a solution for the moto g 5g here, maybe i'll try to implement this for the n200, could be a possible workaround.

moto g solution you posted requires a special kernel. usb tethering through PDAnet+ paid version works fine, the key is you dont enable it thru the native tethering, instead enable USB tethering through the PDAnet app and leave the phone on charging mode so it can make a ADB connection. Make sure ADB is working and you can establish a working adb connection from PC to phone first prior to attempting to tether since it will use ADB. i get full speeds tethering using the paid version.

moto g solution you posted requires a special kernel. usb tethering through PDAnet+ paid version works fine, the key is you dont enable it thru the native tethering, instead enable USB tethering through the PDAnet app and leave the phone on charging mode so it can make a ADB connection.

yeah i've been doing this via easy tether, gets the job done for the most part
For me, PDAnet has low throughput while EasyTether runs full speed and can be used with OpenWRT. They both disconnect randomly though.
No reason to deal with that if you have root. AdGuard+VPNHotspot+noprovisioning is easy to setup and works fine for most networks.

Only connection is WAN to WAN!
Ok, first, I use an lte wifi router, enter gui, goto lan, change router login ip to any ip not 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, the latter is hidden in router, but when trying to connect 2nd router, using this ip, problems appear, because the 1st router has adb enabled due to the lte section of 1st router being android 6, and uses's it.
So in effect, I set 1st routers address to 192.168.1.5, 255.255.254.0, 192.168.1.3 ie, this is 1st router login address. In the 2nd router I set mac address of 1st router to use 192.168.1.3, having been set in the 1st.
I do this because if I set 2nd router to match 1st routers address, the 2nd router auto changes address, when plugged in to first, and the 1st router changes too.
So now that you can goto 192.168.1.1 in 2nd router with 1st plugged in, try 192.168.1.3.
First part over, now the tricky part...
Disconnect 2nd router (this Will become your MAIN router)
Start 1st router with sim in, only to obtain public ip, because you need to set this ip in WAN of 2nd router. If your ip changes every reboot, you need to check public ip from first router match's what you set the wan ip to in 2nd router.
Now when you are in 1st router's network/lan settings, look for option to use 2nd ip. enable it, in the ip box put your public ip, ie your internet ip, and remove all access to anything else, including disabling wifi, both 2.5 and 5g.
So now plug in 2nd router WAN to first routers WAN.
Go into 2nd router, and block the PRIVATE ip seen in 1st router, the ip the isp shows you, and NX=bogusdomain your isp's private dns
In your WAN page of 2nd router, set preferred dns.
Voila.
70-80% increase in response.
The hardware method to block dns hijacking
Ps any reboot of the first router will change its ip due to being lte, so remember to check 2nd router match's after any power outage...
