using HTC touch cruise as a Wifi adapter for pc via usb

hi, first post here.
i have an HTC Touch Cruise with the default factory rom and it has an internal wifi antenna... I'm trying to setup a wireless network with my neighbour but my PC doesn't have a wifi adapter (and i don't have the money for one right now), so i was wondering if it is possible to make the pda some sort of adapter for the pc to use via usb/bluetooth?
One of the first thing we'll do if it's possible is to crack the wep key cause he can't rembemer the password and a hard reset to the router doesn't erase it
can also anyone suggest some tools to do that job?
I was thinking of running these tools on the pc since the pda will only serve as some kind of NIC...
hope someone can help...
Edit: Forgot to mention that i also have a bluetooh adapter on the pc if that comes of any use
P.S: Great Forum btw

There's an internet sharing option in Windows Mobile 6. Connect to the wifi network using the cruise and configure the internet sharing options. Then connect the cruise to the PC via USB and the PC should be able to access the net via the cruise's wifi connection.

i've been snoping around that part, but it asks me for a conection name in which is on <none> cause i don't have a connection configured... if i go to the connections part, i don't know what kind of connection to create as it asks me to create a VPN or an ISP connection...
how can i configure internet sharing propperly?
would i be able to crack the wep key on the pc that way? (cracking it on the pc via the pda)

1. The program you'ew looking for is WmWifiRouter 1.20, it enables you to use your phone as a WiFi -> USB adapter...
2. Ask your neigbour to use Cain on his pc... it can reveal what's written in the password boxes (if it's XP or older), reveal it in the WiFi connection settings on the pc... Whith this you won't need any WEP cracking... also he should be able to change the WEP key without the original... if he doesn't know the access code to the router that's THE problem, check the manual for default values, and try those first before attempting anything else...
3. For configuring a 3G/HSDPA/GPRS/EDGE connection you'll need a data plan from you mobile carrier... after that you can configure the connection on your PDA.
VPN stands for Virtual Private Networking (read Wiki for more info)
ISP stand for Internet Service Provider (this'll be the one you'll need)​

From what i've read on this forums, WmWifiRouter is for routing my 3G/HSDPA/GPRS/EDGE to other phones via wifi, but correct me if i'm wrong lol.
what i want to do is basiclly have wifi on the pc using the pda's built in antenna...
Thanks for the tips on the router, we'll try that
i know what those acronyms mean i just don't know how to configure them for the internet sharing program...

The ICS only shares your mobile internet with one computer be it on USB or BT, it can't act as a wifi adapter... The WMWifiRouter uses the ICS, but with different settings, that can't be utilized manualy... you can create an Ad-Hoc network with some registry tuning, but that's about it.. no DHCP, no NAT, no WEP, nothing that makes it easy, and secure...
Also I mentioned a version number for WmWifiRouter... the leatest (1.20) supports the Wifi -> USB mode, so with this your PDA can act as a WiFi adapter.
Also these PDAs weren't ment to be used this way, so expect high-level battery drainage, you'll need atleast 2 USB ports to charge it while using WMWiFiRouter.
But you can download the trial from the site, and see for your self... you won't loose anything with trying...

Ok, i got the 1.20 trial on the pda and got it working in Wifi -> usb mode, but now how do i search wireless networks on the pc? i noticed it is detected as wired connection, not a wireless one...

You don't need to quote the previous reply...
The PC sees a wired connection... so? You thought that, you can use the windows Wireless Zero Config for searching? I guess you just found out that you can't...
The wireless connection is managed by your PDA, connect to a wireless network with you PDA after you set up the WiFi -> USB...

gnick is correct, I am actually using my phone at home as a Wifi Adapter with WMWifiRouter 1.25 and it works very well. And YES, you have to connect your Wifi on phone first, then connect phone to computer via USB and (in my case) Windows 7 does the rest... I believe Vista also. Not sure about XP, don't have an XP machine, well I do, but it's off sitting in the closet (in timeout for not behaving good.. hehe)

hi all I have a htc tornado i have a wifi router in my house i use my wifi on my laptop.i have pc also in my house which does not have wifi connection on it so is there any way to use my Tornado's wifi to get connectivity on my Pc.Help required plese

im not sure, i think i tried a long time ago but not sure of the results. but you could always go buy a usb wifi adapter. they are very cheap. you could probably find one on craigslist for 10-20 bucks

I can't sure, But U can try the WiFiFoFum
Good luck!

Not got any usful answers yet plz help.........

There is no support like this yet. Since Activesync connection sharing only works with the GPRS connection on your phone. (You dial the dial up number on your PC which connects GPRS on your phone and your PC to Internet via GPRS)

Get a ethernet bridge or Asus router and use DD-WRT. I don't like how usb adapters work* when you can just simply use ethernet standard not relying non stardard drivers from manufacturers.

Reverse Tethering?

At work, there's no Wi-Fi and no T-Mobile signal.
Is there a way to use my PC's network connection to provide data to my phone? I have a rooted Android phone.

I´m also looking for this.
It is the same thing we can do with ActiveSync in Windows Mobile: you get internet access trough your PC...
I hope someone can help us with any clue.
Thank you.

Like USB tethering? I thought there was a USB tethering app on the market.

Hi both of you!
It's called ad hoc network, if you have Vista or Windows 7, do like this:
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Set up a new connection or network -> Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer to computer network) -> Follow instructions!
Good luck

You forgot to mention the tiny problem that Android has do damn Ad-Hoc support....

honestly just try starting your own network go grab a wifi dongle thats capable and go from there that or get a wireless router and try that sharing the internet connection to the router OR bluetooth connection if your phone is capable ! many different ways ive tried them all but usb tethering ive never heard of out side of wm os

It is possible...
I wrote about this before. It is possible to do via usb cable if you use Sense as it is a standard feature in Sense connection... Just plug in and you can choose to use PC internet connection.
I have done it a lot with my PC

My custom rom (x10 mini pro) support ad hoc as far as i know.

Adhoc can be made to work
Check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755254
Of course this would need a wifi dongle in your work PC, will admins allow that?

in the newer roms with gingerbread it's an option to do this when you plug in your phone.

Where is this option? Can you describe how to access it or link a thread with instructions?

AD-Hoc for Windows Phone 7?!

Hello Guys,
I have bought a Parrot Ar.Drone for 300€!
I have the HTC HD7 with Windows Phone 7. I need Ad-Hoc for Windows Phone 7 to control the Drone. Does anybody know when its available on my Device?
Is it possible to create any Application that simulates or create the Ad-Hoc Network?
Please help me, I cant control the Ar Drone. I have to wait till Mango maybe (
rko-freaK

Wow, sorry for Doublepost but are there any News on it? Or can anyone program something? For me its very important, even old Nokia Devicec can find Ad-Hoc Networks!

I also want Wi-Fi ad-hoc connection mode, in order to sync wirelessly with Zune on my Acer Iconia Tab W501P Windows 7 Tablet.

Is it possible to set my Windows 7 laptop as a wireless router (Wi-Fi infrastructure mode) and sync wirelessly with Zune? I don't have separate wireless router; I want to use the laptop's internal Wi-fi adapter as a wireless rutoer. Is is possible?
I tried to set up a new wireless network on the laptop, but it wants "router PIN". I don't know where to find this router pin.

You misunderstood me. I know how to set up ad-hoc newtork in Windows 7. My question is how to set up an infrastructure (access point) Wi-Fi network in Windows 7, without using wireless router. Only using the laptop's integrated Wi-Fi adapter.
This is needed in order to perform Wireless sync between Zune software and a Windows Phone smartphone.

Search for Connectify and see if that works for you.

Is it possible on Lumia 800 ? Because with Supreme Shortcuts i can go to the section for network sharnig but i can't activate it.

[Q] how to connect internet on mobile using wifi

I have a Sony xperia u and pc rumning on windows seven with pppoe connnection on it. I want to connect the.connection on pc to muy mobile usong wifI I dont have any wireleas routers or any WiFi card currently. All I want to know is what to buy and how to connect it with my mob:mobile.
The shsorter version of my question is
Can I acess my pc internet on my mobile using WiFi USB dongle and what are the other ways to browse internet on my mobile using WiFi?
Thank you

No, I don't think you can do it with a USB wifi dongle (more importantly, why would you get one if you don't even have a wireless router?).
You're going to have to get a router that serves as a client to your pppoe, which will share the connection to your PC and your phone. You can buy a router that supports DD-WRT or Tomato (there are lots of cheap options here). Or just buy one that supports that functionality out of the box.

yes of course!!
u can do that man..
just buy a usb wifi dongle..
and install connectify
that software will make ur laptop as a router, so u can share ur laptop internet connection to other device
search using google "Connectify 3.4 crack download"

thanks for the replies guys
bought asus rt n10
