Tethering Via WIFI & Videochat

Guys,
First of all I want to thank all of you for all of your hard work accomplishing TRUE TETHERING on the G1. It works flawlessly. THANKS!!! You guys are geniuses!!!
I have a question to ask with using tether-1.6.tar
Most of my programs I have that require internet access work all for one stinking video chat program I always use to chat with my family while I'm away on work assignment. It's a program called ISPQ. I can log into the program, and it pulls up the directories with all of the users signed in, and I can send quick messages, but when someone sends me a message the picture field is blank and in the directory when you click on a persons name to see their profile the picture area is blank as well. On their website it shows what ports you need opened for the program to run successfully as I'll post them down below. When I used to Tether with my TMO DASH the program always worked so I'm sure there is a way to get it working using the G1 tethered as well.
Thanks again,
Anthony

as far as i know, i dont think their is a firewall on the phone it should already be opened. I have connected to my sling box which is some random port and it worked sucessfully.

Thanks for your response. Strange when I run the built in network utility in that program it DOES say it's detecting a firewall when there isn't. Probably a quick uninstall/re-install of the program should get it working properly. Everything else other then that single program works great. Streaming live video and audio works flawlessly as well. Amazing how this is true tethering and it blows the doors off of Tetherbot.
The people who got this all going are like god to me.

Yes! I also tether with this method, and it works flawlessly, I get 135KBpps down. And 85KBps up on edge, and on 3G I get around 900KBps down and 240ish up. It's funny though, after running a speedtest, it said my phone was located in kansas when I'm actually in cali, maybe its a ip address location error. But back to your situation, I haven't had any issues with ports on of the programs that required specific ports to function. =)

The location is correct, T-Mobile sends all their info through a proxy in kansas or some place back east, and that is why our speeds are sometimes slow.

Neoobs, Would that be the case in the Philadelphia area as well? I'm asking of this because if Tmo sends all of their info through proxy in this area as well, that's the reason why my videochat program isn't working properly (laptop/G1 Tethered).
Strange is that when I hook up my old Tmo Dash and tether it, ispq works fine but it's terribly slow running on Edge.

3G gets sent to a different proxy but both are sent through proxies.
I know there are some ways around it just not able to get the info right now as I am AFH

I searched and searched with no results. There has to be a way around this. If I can video chat with the Dash Tethered to my lappy, there for sure has to be a way on the G1.

Neoobs,
Any word or source of a way around the 3g proxy/videochat with my post?
Thanks again......

Since TMO's 3g/edge connection goes through a proxy at the main how could I find out what Proxy IP and Port it is? In the program there is an option to log in through proxy so I guess I would need to know what's the proxy address they use for 3G in my area. Anyway I could find out?

It isn't like a software proxy, it is a hardware proxy, there is no info you can put in to get around it really. I will test this and see.
I can't find the info on how to get around it but I know I did because I was running programs (torrents) that were saying I was fully connected and even had someone remote into my PC while I was on it (was a friend) so nothing should be blocking it. BTW I was using openDNS servers maybe that is what helped.

Open DNS Servers? Where would I add the values and what would they be? something like 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2?

I'm about to beg you to download ISPQ and set it up (via Wifi Tether) and see exactly what I'm talking about. lol It's actually a pretty cool program and it's a free 21 day trial.

I will download it and get back to you in 24 hours.

Thank you so much!!!!

It all works fine for me, lets me log in and see others. What is the problem exactly?

Thanks for trying it out. I can log in but I can't see the user profile pictures in the directory and also when I receive a qm from someone the picture area is blank. All I can see is the text they sent in the message, not the picture..

Can you run the network diagnostic test in the programs options? Doesn't work here.
Can you see the users in the directories profile pictures and if someone qmed you, you can see their image along with the text?
I can see the users listed in the directories but no pictures of the users and the qms, I can read the text in the qm, just can't see the users image. Funny part of it all is I can successfully video chat in there and I can see the users video while video chatting. Your help with this is very appreciated. You can private me your response if you may.
Thanks again..

HELP! Problems about Downloading Stuff.

Hi people, many of the forum users here uses rapidshare links for their downloads. I would really like to download the themes from this thread but I'm unable to do so because of the rapidshare links. When i press free user it always say I'm already downloading stuff and all! Please, someone teach em how to download? thanks!

Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

Are you behind a network with many users? If yes, then someone is downloading stuff already with the same external IP address. If no, then it's your ISP that's sharing the same external IP with many users. Which file are you trying to download? Maybe I can upload it to somewhere else for you.

I'm not too sure as well, I'm quite a noob ): anyway I wanted to download the theme here: http://rapidshare.com/files/201038990/Neon_Naranja.rar
but I cant seem to do so everytime! There's always this message:
You want to download the following file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/201038990/Neon_Naranja.rar | 2599 KB
The download session has expired. Please click here to start the download again.
But, I always click right away after the seconds of waiting time has ended!
What is a static ip? It seems that the problem lies with IP addresses?
OMG, help! ):

Anyone can help please?

^ It happens. That's why RS is often dubbed Rapids*cks..
Anyways, I'm one of the lucky guys having a dynamic IP so...
http://www.uploadjockey.com/download/7370480/Neon_Naranja.rar
Now you can download the file from a dozen mirrors!

OMG, thank you so much [deXter]!!! anyway I think zshare is one of the best cos I never encounter problems downloading from it at all!
Well, anyway, do you have any idea how to solve such problems on RapidShare if it keeps on happening?

Can't do much about it mate.. there are ways to change your IP address, like switching your modem/router on and off.. but that doesn't always work. You could talk to your ISP about changing your IP. The surefire way would be to look for public proxy servers and use them. but proxies are a messy affair, they're not reliable and might be slow.. well if you really need a file and no one's around, proxies are your only way. But hey, once you get into it, finding a working proxy is a cinch. Then there's also Tor, which is an anonymous network, but it's considerably slow so forget downloading large files with it. It's not meant for filesharing anyways..
Or you could get yourself a free premium account.. there are forums and communities which reward users with a free account on completion of certain posts or ad-surveys..
Don't ask me any further details though

Rapidshare traces the users IP address to limit each user to a certain amount of downloading per day. To get around this, you need to show the rapidshare server a different IP address.
Here are some methods for doing this:
1. Short-Out the JavaScript:
1. Goto the page you want to download
2. Select FREE button
3. In the address bar put the following: javascript:alert(c=0)
4. Click OK
5. Click OK to the pop-up box
6. Enter the captcha
7. Download Your File
2. Request a new IP address from your ISP server.
Here’s how to do it in windows:
1. Click Start
2. Click run
3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
4. When the command prompt opens type the following. ENTER after each new line.
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit
5. Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.
6. Try the rapidshare download again.
Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens. Sometime you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a fixed IP address, this method will not work. To be honest, I do not know how to do this in linux/unix/etc. If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands into a batch file, and just run it when you need it.

[Q] Shutdown computer via ip address

Is there an app that can shutdown a windows computer just using its ip address without the need for installing a client on the computer.
Am looking for something like this to use at work on our domain.

Works with hostname. I haven't tried with IP addresses, but i think that works too.

You'd have to create some kind of server... you have to have something that will accept connections on the server end. Whatever it may be, including SSH, etc.

http://tweetmypc.codeplex.com/
Could do what you want and more but you won't be able to turn off a computer without a way (service or server) that allows it

smb
there'sis somethinglike that ... but it checks for a security hole in "windows vista and 7 ONLY" no XP""" Vista and 7,... ok you can connect to the same network and input the IP and NUKe it.."test for the security hole, if the machine has it, it will shut down.. now aday.. 5 out of 10 machines has that hole open.. so its 50 50 chance but still good to test!
ITS CALLED "SMB CHECK"

That's frightening. If your computers have this vulnerability, they should be patched... not exploited
But anyway... something that actually executes against the credentials of your system is definitely the way to go.

Been playing with ssh so I just connect to a pc from phone and issue command to that an shut any computer on network down. Shame there isn't an app that can do out in a few clicks.

Cool man. I can't imagine it'd be too hard to write one, especially if it's just triggering a bash script with a specified argument (of the host name).
Out of curiosity, are you connecting via VPN? If so, what are you using?
I'm excited for the release of the Cisco Cius and their AnyConnect client, which will hopefully be ripped (or released).

Not using vpn am connected to nw via wireless.
If a talented dev would take up the challenge and code an app for this it would be great, if only I could code

[Q] How secure is WebKey?

I just discovered this program and the only thing I can say is "HOLY ****!" I'm amazed at this and freaking out a little right now, lol.
Anyone know how secure this is??

Not very. In fact, just from guessing your WebKey username from your XDA username, I'm on your phone right now.
On a side note, judging from the files in your download folder, you seem obsessed with goats and midgets. Scary.

Hi! I'm one of the developer of Webkey. The webserver uses a standard digest authentication, there is no security leak that I'm aware of. The digest method uses a hash function, which glues together the current time and your password. The browser sends over only this hashed mess (and not your password), which is only good for authentication for an hour.
If you use http method then the data is sent trough an unsecured connection, and it can be sniffed by those who has physical access to your connection. Unfortunately the https method is only available if you can directly connect to your phone, if you use our server (androidwebkey.com) to proxy the request, then you have to use http. We don't read and don't save your data, we only read the first line of the http request, which contains the phone's name that you want to connect to. The phones and the browsers are connected to our server, and it has to pair them, so it has to know the nickname from the browser's request. We are working on a solution which uses DNS subdomain (like yourname.androidwebkey.com), if this can be read from an encrypted https stream, then we will implement it, this way the connection will be entirely encrypted between your phone and your browser.

I will donate to whoever finds a universal fix to enterprise wifi PEAP security

I'm a student at the University of Texas and I'm trying out these custom Touchwiz roms on my Samsung galaxy s4 sprint variant. I'm enjoying them a lot however I'm unable to connect to my university's wifi with these roms. If someone can please find a universal fix to this issue I will donate and support you.

For my university, it was provided after you login (using your university credentials) to a page you could access from the "guest" Wi-Fi network. I'd try connecting to that (I can see one in the screenshots) then navigating to any page - you should be redirected to the login page.
Once you're there, you'll hopefully see instructions. If I remember correctly, though, it's very simple: you just need to click the link to the CA and it'll ask you if you want it installed (if that doesn't work I think you can download it to your SD card then go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Menu > Advanced > Install certificates.)
I didn't see anything about proxies in your university's help pages, so I'm guessing you don't need to configure a proxy to be able to connect correctly? You'll need to ask a friend who's got a successful connection or the IT department for that.
PS. One of the help pages says this:
"In the Trusted Root Certification Authorities list, select Thawte Premium Server CA."
This is probably included already, but may be disabled in your system. Go to System Settings > Security > Trusted Credentials and make sure it's there and enabled.

I tried to install the thawte premium certificate and it failed. It was already pre installed on my phone. I used the android certificate install application because when I tried to install it through the setting it wasn't able to find it.

No idea then. Just to make sure, you're not connecting at all? Or are you connecting successfully but can't browse the internet? In that case, are you sure you shouldn't be using a proxy?

I'm not connected at all. What it will do is it will scan, search for ips, try to connect, and then recycle.
