Setting up and Using Wmwifirouter

[gregpilot]

OK, see if you can use ICS first. I believe active sync must be installed on your PC and running before you connect your 6700. If your OS is asking to install drivers, let it. My experience is with XP so I can't specifically address the driver issue.

Can you sync between your 6700 and your PC now? Do you have any problems accessing the internet (on your phone) thru your carrier? (*not thru wifi*) If you can access the internet, try connecting them and then running ICS on your 6700. You will know ICS is working when you can access the internet on your PC..but just to be sure, disconnect your wired and wireless connections from your PC to make sure your PC is actually using the 6700. You my need drivers for W2k, so try and find them (google), there may be posts here addressing this.

All the instructions I posted previously are done BEFORE running the Wmwifi router app. I, too have ver .80 installed from the kitchen, however running the app (ver .80) really does not "install" anything . I removed the shortcut to ver .80, and installed .91 thru a cab file. No problems. As I said, .91 does the configuring for you. You do *not* have to reflash, just dont run the version installed to your rom, run the new version of Wmwifi router.

After launching the wmwifi app, then attempt to establish a wireless connection to your PC. Just to be sure, disable the wireless router you are using to make sure the PC is accessinf wifi thru the phone. Your PC must be set to establish an "adhoc" connection, you will see "WMWifirouter" or something similar on your PC by your WIFi software.

The only drawback to either app is that I had to manually remove the adhoc connection created (by the app in .91 or manually for .80) when I was finished using wmwifi router. There was no real issue but when trying to use wifi normally, the now "dormant" wmwifirouter adhoc connection listed itself several times in the network discovery window (wm6) and for me, was annoying. I believe (but am by no means sure) the newer paid for versions of Wmwifi router address this issue.

good luck
