@Jorge: That sounds strange. Just for the record, you *do* have a DHCP server running on the laptop, right? As for using the laptop’s internet connection, that should just work once your phone’s network configuration is correct and your laptop has been configured to share its connection (you’ll probably have to configure NAT, eg. with iptables on Linux).

@tony: The app prompts for superuser permissions for each command that it runs. the first time you actuvate adhoc networking that results in ~5 prompts. If you don’t change your configuration, you should not get any further prompts the next time you activate it.

Hi stefan,
great job with desire-adhoc. I’ve been able to connect to my laptop ad-hoc from my HTC desire with temporary root (Visionary+).
However, i can only ping (from phone to laptop and from laptop to phone), but i cannot connect from desire to my laptop’s apache on port 90. ¿Maybe a firewall issue?
Also, I’ve only been able to make it work if i manually assign ip addresses, but not using dhcp.
Finally, i’m wondering how could i use my laptops internet connection (wired) to access internet from my phone.

installed the .apk as per http://code.google.com/p/desire-adhoc/

Ad-hoc app keeps asking for superuser permission after I constantly accept the prompt. Once enabling wireless it keeps giving me an error. Even without running the Adhoc app… I uninstalled the app and my wireless works normally but still cant connect to my ad hoc wireless network off my windows XP PC.

Any ideas?

Poodlemastah : Now i’m having trouble with properly setting up DNS servers, ping and browsing to a IP adress works. Any help?

For everyone having trouble with dns-configuration: you can manually set the dns-server with e.g setprop net.dns1 192.168.0.1

@stefan: which file? if you’re talking about iwconfig, try chmod +x /path/to/iwconfig. or you could just install the app from http://desire-adhoc.googlecode.com/

I copied the file using the adb push command. Cannot execute the binary because I keep getting the permission denied error. Any suggestions? Thanks
