Internet Sharing over Wi-Fi AP Tethering

[indoe]

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" (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!

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.

best,

Wow, I tried to do this eons ago with the java emulator and some other mumbo-jumbo...

I am running the helmi_c's 3.5 from the new kitchen. I set the TIACXWLN1 to static IPA, 192.168.1.1/24 with gateway 192.168.1.1.

created a ad-hoc wifi connection, open with encryption disabled.

turned on ics with blue tooth PAN

made the regedit

went to my laptop and connected to the ad-hoc I created on the 6700, it received ipa 192.168.1.136.

I am composing this message via it now...

I found that if the device suspends it turns off WIFI and I loose the connection, no biggie... now to see is i can connect a second pc to the 6700-wap.

Thanks all....
