using wmwifirouter with os x

I'm trying to use wmwifirouter with os x, and wmwifirouter itself seems to work (says 'connected'), but I am having problems connecting to it from the mac. I see the wmwifirouter listed under "Devices" in the networking menu (rather than as a network). When I connect to the wmwifirouter as a device, I have no connection.

A message in network preferences indicates that "Airport is using a self-assigned IP address and may not have access to the internet" when I connect to wmwifirouter, whereas when I connect to my regular router, this message says "Airport is connected to routername and has the IP address 192.168.2.3."

I am using the most recent version of wmwifirouter since yesterday, with all settings at default. Is there some way to get wmwifi to work as a regular network?

Re: using wmwifirouter with os x

Hi. Any luck with this? I recently obtained a WM6 samsung i760 on verizon's network. I can tether via bluetooth just fine using an app called BTModem. I do pay $15 a month for the tethering service. Works great, but as a greedy man, I need to break through this BlueTooth Bandwidth Barrier (repeat 5 times fast, and you'll get an idea as to where i come from). Plus, I'd also love to share my phone's connection to my other mac laptops.

I report the same thing. My MacBook Pro running 10.5.5 connects the Ad-hoc network created by my phone. I receive IPv6 information, and everything appears to be correct. Using DHCP I get a self-assigned IP address. I have tried messing with static IP's, but with no success. DHCP is enable in WMWIFIrouter by default, but there may be some question as to IP range. I also disabled WINs. I'm going to try reseting it to the default settings and trying again. Keep you posted

Re: using wmwifirouter with os x

nah, never got it working. definitely post if you figure it out. I asked those guys about the problem and this is what they said:

Hi,

Unfortunately, we do not have Mac's around here we can use to test this
out for you. Only very few of our customers are using Mac's and we have
so far not had a report like this.

I would suggest you wait a (short) while until our new version (1.20) is
released, which uses a completely new and more reliable core, and try
again then.

Regards,
The WMWifiRouter Team

Re: using wmwifirouter with os x

works fine for me on my MBP C2D running 10.5.5... I even was able to share my connection to my wife's MB, everything ran fine... WEP and all...

What version of wmwifirouter are you running? I believe I have 1.2... the only thing I have to do sometimes is turn airport off/on and then I might have to click on the ad-hoc connection "wmwifirouter" a few times as well.

I cannot thing of a single thing I changed in wmwifirouter (didn't know what to change because the documentation isn't out for 1.2 yet!), but I did switch the connection from PAM to Sprint PCS.

Hope this helps.

Re: using wmwifirouter with os x

Well, I found out what my problem was. My WM6 Samsung i760 did not come preloaded with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). This, from what I've read, is vital to WMWIFIRouter's operation. Here's a link to the ICS cab download on another forum. You have to register, but no big surprises there.

Anyway, I installed it, did a soft reset, then I reinstalled WMWIFIRouter, and everything worked. Both of my Macs are now receiving proper IP's. I made this post using it.

While I found numerous solutions which involved Registry editing, this solution works without messing around. The link above is a version of ICS is for WM5 (at least that was the message I got before I hit ok and installed it) but it works just fine. Hope this fixes it.

I connect using WiFi without an issue. Basically, make your phone a wifi hot spot instead of trying the bluetooth connection.
