9 years ago Do you have root-permission on this device? Could you please press "menu",

"Show log" and post the output?

9 years ago Haha, I got it last week. Very pleased with it. Still quite buggy but that
should all
be ironed out.
Yes, I should have root permission. Have Superuser Whitelist installed so when
I run
the app it pops up asking to allow or deny root access. Am assuming that means
its
working.
On 1.51, doing menu and show log displays a full list of green "done"s. from
top to
bottom:
loading wlan.ko
config wifi interface
config network interface
setting up firewall rules
enabling IP forwarding
starting dnsmasq
It's odd, in the top bar where it normally has two arrows for internet access.
Up for
upload and down for download. Whilst running wifi tether I never see the down
arrow...?Original comment by tom.ox...@gmail.com on 4 Aug 2009 at 5:23

9 years ago Fuuu ... let's do some checks.
On your phone:
- Open terminal emulator (download from android market) or use adb
1) Check if ip-forwarding is enabled:
type: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
This should return "1".
2) Check if a dnsmasq-process is running.
type: ps
You should find a line similiar to this:
root 713 1 784 332 c00afc70 afe0c584 S
/data/data/android.tether/bin/dnsmasq
On your client/pc:
- Open a command-prompt.
1) Check the wifi-interface.
type: ipconfig
Look for the wireless adapter. On my german win7 it looks like this:
Drahtlos-LAN-Adapter Drahtlosnetzwerkverbindung:
Verbindungsspezifisches DNS-Suffix:
Verbindungslokale IPv6-Adresse . : fe80::852b:c1fe:2930:365c%14

Subnetzmaske . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Standardgateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.254
2) Are you able to ping the gateway?
ping 192.168.2.254
example-output:
C:\Users\Harry>ping 192.168.2.254
Ping wird ausgeführt für 192.168.2.254 mit 32 Bytes Daten:

Ca. Zeitangaben in Millisek.:

3) Does the DNS (translation of domainnames) work?
type: nslookup android.com 192.168.2.254
example-output:
C:\Users\Harry>nslookup android.com 192.168.2.254

9 years ago Mmmmh ... the weird thing is that you get an ip-address (from the phone via
dhcp) but
you are not able to ping the gateway.
What happens if you do:
- command-prompt:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Do you get a "valid" ip-address (something like 192.168.2.xxx)?
Are you sure that there is not a personal firewall or something which is
blocking
traffic?

I'm not sure if there is netfilter/iptable support in this kernel. If there was
no
netfilter/iptable support, I expect to get the message "No Netfilter" on
startup
(according to the wiki FAQ in this project).
I don't get any messages, everything seems fine.

9 years ago To check if your kernel supports ip-tables/netfilter do the following:
1) Copy the kernel-config from you phone to your computer
adb pull /proc/config.gz .
2) Extract the config.gz-file with winrar, 7zip or any other program which can
handle
.gz-files.
3) Open the (extracted) config file in a text-editor and look for such a line:
CONFIG_NETFILTER=y
And ... I could take a look to that file if you post it here.Original comment by harald....@gmail.com on 7 Aug 2009 at 9:26

Tom was able to ping once?!? Please ... check if you got a valid ip-address
(something
like 192.168.2.xxx) and try to ping the gateway from the client. Please also
check if
you are able to ping the client from your phone (using terminal emulator).
And ... please disable the access-control-feature for all those checks. Original comment by harald....@gmail.com on 9 Aug 2009 at 8:04

9 years ago FYI I'm seeing exactly the same symptoms as Willem and Tom. I have root/su
access
on T-Mobile HTC Hero (G2 Touch). Have verified this with various root tools
I'm now
able to use.
Tether starts with no errors and I can connect my MacBook - I get a valid IP
from
DHCP and the DNS is set too. I will catch-up on some of the testing above for
netfiler and verifying pings from the device etc... but also wanted to see
whether
in yet another environment you'd like more testing to be done.
At one point I thought I was able to get a response/page with an IP address
directly
on my client so perhaps this is a DNS issue but I haven't replicated that again
-
will check again today.
Will run the tests above today, but let me know if you need/want anything else
done.

9 years ago Hi peter. Thanks for your report. Could you please check the following:
1) Start tether
2) Connect your PC/MAC
3) Type "cat /proc/net/dev" in terminal emulator (on your phone / can be
downloaded
from market). You should find a interface named "tiwlan0".
4) Try to generate some traffic on your PC/MAC. ping 192.168.2.254 (gateway)
open the
browser ... whatever.
5) Check if the number of packets/bytes increase in the "tiwlan0"-line.

18 0 0 0 0 0 0
I disconnected and reconnected and now my client isn't getting IP from DHCP, no
IP, no Gateway, no DNS -
earlier this was fine and looked good. Now my machine is assigning its own IP
only (this is what it tells me),
and I'm getting no Gateway etc..

9 years ago OK had one last go. The DHCP was wierd.... after a few reconnect attempts,
service stop/start I got a healthy
DHCP assigned address and importantly tether showed my MAC as a connected
client (wasn't when I typed the
above)
I've been assigned: IP 192.168.2.100, Sub 255.255.255.0, Router 192.168.2.254,
DNS 192.168.2.254
Same symptom no page loads in browser. 192.168.2.254 isn't pingable from my
client... however.
cat /proc/net/dev shows bytes received for tiwlan0 and increasing through the
ping, and after cancelling the
ping I tried to browse to google.com and again tiwlan0 showed an increase (you
can see in the tables below) -
also note the UP KB count in tether increases - Down KB count does not...

9 years ago Hmmm so despite not getting error messages about netfilter support, it looks
like the Hero build of Cupcake,
like the magic, doesn't support iptables.... do you agree? :-( Thanks a lot
for all your help.

9 years ago Hello.
I also tried get it work. Your application and many other, but it sems like HTC
made
more changes in kernel than we think..
In theory - they have to relase modified kernel because of license GPL.
In practice - couple of weeks ago they promiss to give sources to the end of
month.
Last month..
Without their changes is impossible (or at least very hard) to run iptables on
hero/
magic.
More details you can find for example (for example, because topics about this
exists
on couple android developers forums) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531194&page=8
So - for now we can scream, mail them, mail some organisations like Linux/gpl
and
wait. And don't lose hope..;-)Original comment by pajter on 13 Aug 2009 at 10:28

9 years ago Thanks for the comment pajter... here's a thought to perhaps get the carriers
onto
HTC/Google. Given the assumption is I've contracted to a phone on the open
handset
alliance running a GPL OS that isn't open and is restricted - can I cancel my
T-Mobile contact?? I only signed up to the contract and the phone to enjoy this
flexibility, otherwise I'd have contracted to an iPhone on O2 (here in the UK) -
perhaps if contracted owners of Magic/Hero's can do this, it's a stronger
message...Original comment by peter.w....@gmail.com on 13 Aug 2009 at 12:02

9 years ago [deleted comment]Oh, don't be such a dramatic. ;)
I think (trying to be optimistic) HTC finally have to give us their kernel
version.
They getting many questions, not only for private owners, but also android
developers and
other peoples with "strong back".
But yes, if after a month or two HTC still be like now "Emm.. we working on new
site, you
know, there will be all sources, books, but give as another couple months or
years" then i
will look around how cancel my contract or switch phone to other.
"Software on this phone is against the law" can be a pretty strong argument.;-)Original comment by pajter on 13 Aug 2009 at 12:56

9 years ago Regarding this issue:
It really looks like that netfilter is enabled in kernel (like it was in all
ADP-firmwares before cupcake). The output of iptables and netstat looks good to
me -
at least I can't recognize a difference to my handset.
There is probably something wrong with the wifi-driver or the interface itself.
One last thing to check/test ... DOES BLUETOOTH-TETHERING WORK?
Missing kernel-sources:
IMHO they are in breach of the GPL.

9 years ago how do you activate bluetooth tethering?
i startet wifi tether in bluetooth mode and tried to pair the laptop (running
on xp)
with it but it always tells me it didn't find a service.Original comment by nuum...@gmail.com on 13 Aug 2009 at 4:53
