OHYEZ. It's time to get crackin' mates! An unfinished driver device only in Windows 7 gets utilized to share your internet, using a software called Connectify. Needs: Connectify (OPTIONAL) Connectify Beta Windows 7/Server 2008 RC2 Computer with Administrator Privileges (not starter) (optional)A WiFi compatible device that can use WPA2-Personal AES Encryption (will explain) A computer that can connect with WEP Encryption (all of them) A supported wireless adapter card (READ LATER) An Internet Connection that can be shared (will explain) Herro evwebady. I gonna explain how to share your internet connection with your buddies and iPods and crap like that, WITHOUT the use of Ad-Hoc. This can be used to share any form of internet without the use of buying a router or a brand new Zydas or Ralink wireless adapter, or having to struggle with devices not compatible with ad-hoc mode. This cannot be used on computers using Windows 7 starter. Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc is for sharing files and/or internet through COMPUTERS ONLY. Handheld devices don't support ad-hoc mode, sorry. If you have both a WiFi Internet connection and Ad-Hoc mode enabled, you will need two wireless adapters. This is compatible with ALL WiFi adapters. If you just want to share files, get the beta. Access Point Mode Access Point mode is used share files or internet through devices that support WPA2-Personal(PSK) AES Encryption. Only some WiFi adapters can support this mode, so read the article above about this. This is what I use. If your WiFi adapter is not listed in the Working or Not working list, you may want to still try this out. Not all devices can support this, including the DS Lite. The DSi can use this, but only for DSi features. It should work on the PSP and iPod Touch, and most smartPhones. This should work with most Windows 7 compatible adapters with latest drivers. CONNECTIFY BETA INFO: Spoiler Supports Open AND WEP encrypted Ad-hoc mode Faster setup (similar to normal instructions) Better UI More client info First, you need to make sure your internet connection is shareable, only if you want to share internet. If you just want to share files, skip this. 1) Go to Control Panel>Network & Internet>Network and Sharing Center>Change Adapter Settings. 2) Right Click the device you connect with the Internet and go to Properties. 3) Check to see if the sharing tab is there, and you can share your net. If you can't share your net, but you have a wireless adapter, it should still work. If you can't share your net, and don't have a wireless adapter, get one. If have an unsharable mobile broadband device, you are screwed. Soyez, continuing. How to shareth thy interwebs: 1) Download and install the Connectify software. 2) The connectify software should show anerror in the toolbar, with a tooltip bubble. 3) Double click the toolbar icon. Type a name, 8 character password, and select your internet connection. 4) Click Start Hotspot. It takes a minute to start, but it will eventually. HOT SPOT VICTORY. 5) Try to make sure you have the right mode you want. If you want to share files, but not internet select Ad-Hoc. (BETA ONLY) If you want to share internet AND files with computers, you can either use Ad-Hoc mode or Access Point mode if available. If you want to share internet and/or files with handheld devices and/or computers, select Access Point mode. I will post pics soon. If you need help, post away.
