2.0.1
What version of wireless tether are you using?
wireless_tether_2_0-pre4.apk

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start wifi teather
2.Connect with netbook
3.enable access control

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The computer can see the access point, and can connect and I enable access
from the DROID but the connection is "local only" or "Limited or no
conectivity."

Please provide any additional information below.
The connection type from my windows XP machine (netbook) shows "peer to
peer network" It gives me the IP: 192.168.1.103 and the DNS, subnetmask etc
are all 192.168.1.254.

Please check:

1) You need a netfilter-enabled kernel installed. Check with "Show log" (press 
"menu"
first) if you see an error message.

2) If you enable access control every client which connects needs permission for
getting internet access. (Disable it for the first tests.)

I tried the pre_6 one that just came out and the pre_5 distro but I still can 
only 
see the local intranet, nothing outside local is accessable.

The only error I get on the log with these distros is "Enabling NAT Rules..." 
FAILED!

You don't have a kernel installed which supports netfilter/iptables.

Hope it helps.

Just about everything on that page is way over my head, I have to do things in 
DOS, 
install a recovery tool, somthing "sholes.info" etc etc.
There should be an easier way to do this.

Im having the same exact issues, i guess i need the kernal installed also.  
problem 
is that sholes.info website doesnt even work anymore so i guess theres no shot 
at 
tethering

"sholes.info cannot be found"

I hope the wifi tether people can find a way around this.

The sholes.info team has changed to droidmod.org.  
Download their app on the market.  It will root and install 
their latest rom, which has the correct kernel.

Thank you SadMedic!! I will give this a try!

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It works! Thanks again SadMedic
I installed the droidmod.org version of root and my phone auto overclocked to 
800mhz,
the rotating feature works in the home screen, etc!
I had to re-do home screen shortcuts but other than that I've noticed a good 
increase
of my phone's abilities!

Having this same issue with my Evo. Checked my logs and everything was all 
green. 

My questions are:

Since my logs have no errors, does this mean I have the correct kernel 
installed?

If I need to install a new kernel, will the steps at

Work on my EVO ?
