Here's an application i've been meaning to write about for a little while, but having finally got it working across my plethora of machines (PC, Mac, Eee), I decided it was a good time to post
 WMWiFiRouter, turns your device - as the name would suggest - into a WiFi Router. Let me explain. You run this application on your WiFi enabled device, and it turns your device into an AdHoc internet sharing WiFi access point, that you can connect to from your other machines, and surf the web. As you can see in the picture below, I was able to simply run the app on my Vario III, connect to the broadcasting AP from my Asus Eee, and surf away on the web You can call your AP whatever you want, enable encryption if desired and finally forget about the pain of cable and BlueBooth tethering. Best of all? It's FREE! You can download the application and read more from the author's website. Enjoy P  -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder.

So does this get round the "Your not allowed to use your phone as a modem" issue on Tmobile?

Paul, apologies to your wife in advance, I love you
I'm moving house this Friday (11th) and my Sky broadband will be a few days before it's up and working, so I was thinking I'll connect my phone to my tower PC and plug that into my router and share the internet connection with my laptop. No need now, expect heavy testing over the next week or so

That's not really the point, and wasn't your original question
They could likely tell, if they wanted to... P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |

QUOTE(Monolithix @ Jan 9 2008, 12:36) The *phone* is still acting as a modem, and then routing the data packets via wifi using the routing software Depends on how you use the term modem as it means modulation and demodulation from digital to analogue back to digital, but then I was only being facetious!!! Im experiencing a problem at the moment whereby I get wlan is on! Waiting for ICS. Now I have ICS running on my kaiser and have been using it for ages via usb and bluetooth. However I do have duttys rom on there right now. Im wondering if it looks for it in a place where this program would normally reside but due to duttys movements it has changed to somewhere else. Suggestions would be helpful if anyone knows how to cure this...Am reading through on xda devs right now but not come up with an answer ..... yet. Thanks Phill -------------------- www.watfordfc.com

 Anyway any luck with my problem anyone? Has anyone else experienced this? My mate at work has a vario 2 (custom firmware as well) and the same thing has happened. I will try one with the network settings and see what happens. -------------------- www.watfordfc.com

- Do you have an Ad-Hoc network configured? (installer with network settings does this for you)
- Make sure you are not using WPA - ICS should be \Windows\IntShrui.exe , doubt dutty moved that. Besides, if there was no ICS in that location, you wouldn't get this far

Yea just downloaded the with network settings cab and installed it. have now got to connected to wmwifirouter enabled with a big green solid state logo.
Have enabled wifi on my pc but not going anywhere. And as for using WPA how exactly would I as this is not a proper router and as such, is not going to have those settings (well I cant find them anyway!!) So I have got a bit further but not much!!! Phill -------------------- www.watfordfc.com

Well I am on WNW so I would not expect anything like that to happen. I would expect to get cut off before I get landed with a big bill. I am not aware of tmob charging any more for useage over a certain point, more that they would reduce/stop your activity if it falls foul of the fair useage policy. As for getting help it seems you guys are my only saviours, at least for the next few hours, as the article I was reading on xda devs was whisked away due to maintenance!! Anyone got any further than me that might have experienced this?!!! Phill -------------------- www.watfordfc.com

Get it working without encryption before you start messing with the settings
