Ad-hoc wifi on 1.1.4

Can anyone who has upgraded check if ad-hoc wifi works on it for me please?
Thanks

Unfortunately it seems to still need a workaround.
It's not working according to our trials when you directly try to access an ad-hoc network.
If you first connect to an access point and then, while the other connection is active, connect to the ad-hoc network, it works and stores the connection.
After that, you can connect to the ad-hoc without the detour with the access point.
Very, very, very unpleasant that!!!
Could anybody from Apple make a statement whether this is know and when it will be solved?
Thanks,
Oliver

  • Problem trying to build an ad-hoc wifi network between Leopard and Win XP

    Hello,
    I hope this question was not previously posted despite my attempts to find one related.
    I am trying to do something that sounded very basic to me until I tried to do it : connect a Windows XP equiped PC and a Leopard equiped Power G4, through an ad-hoc wifi network (in order to later develop a crossed platforms client/server app ).
    What I did :
    - Create a network from Leopard using both default (11) and specified (6 <-> default one under Win XP) channels
    - Connect to this (detected) network on Windows.
    - Try to ping (in a terminal with the suiting IPs) between each other...
    But this looked like they are not connected, or that they cannot discuss together, though they are obviously connected together.
    I also tried to create the network from Windows (although it is not as friendly as it is through Leopard Interface), the same way, but without the possibility to specify the channel (that should be 6 according to some forum read on the net ). I then connect to it through the PC and the Mac. The result is the same... indeed! No Ping, no telnet, nothing...
    Then, I am wondering if there is something that is so specific to each platform that they cannot connect together or if there is something I did wrong. Since I am not used to networking and, furthermore, the Mac World (ie newcommer to it), I may have missed some basic thing. So, I any of you have an idea, it'd be welcome .
    Thanks for reading, and in advance for trying to figure it out.

    I managed to connect them finally. But I still can't understand what was the exact problem, though I know now where it was :
    My Win PC was also connected to a company network. When I disconnected it and connected it with the Mac instead, everything suddenly went fine! It also works of course if no computer is connected to the company network.
    Now, this solves my problem but does not answer my question. There are obviously skills I missed about networking.. do any of you know why the connection of this company network ruined my ad-hoc network when connected on the PC and not when connected on the Mac?

  • Why won't iphone connect to macbook on ad hoc wifi

    Before updating to iOS 5.1 I had no problem connecting to my macbook via an ad hoc network. Now the iPhone recognizes the network and the after choosing the network in settings it appears to be connected. However, there is no indication of a connection in the menu bar and I am unable to connect with the macbook to sync programs that do not sync through iTunes, or share the wired internet connection of the macbook.

    You're welcome
    Most routers have unstable DHCP server daemons (that's the software that assigns IP addresses to devices when they connect) that occasionally die. By power cycling the router you restart the DHCP server in the router.

  • How to set MBair to acting like ad-hoc wifi router ...

    Hi all X'
    I wanna to participate a ipodtouch4 to the cable internet at the MBair.
    The internet at the MBair is with a cable but with NO ROUTER.
    HOW CAN I MAKE THE MBAIR TO ACT AS A 'ROUTER'?
    DHCP seems not the way it is.

    Comcast certainly can and does put the SMC modem into bridging mode for customers.
     From an older thread....
       "The request to put the router in bridge mode takes Comcast about 3 seconds to do. The correct number to call to have it done is 800-363-2416 and ask anyone who answers to do this."

  • Ios7 can't connect to wifi ad-hoc network

    Hi,
    I have a problem connecting my iPhone 4S to the ad-hoc wifi connection my macbook creates when "sharing" the ethernet internet connection through wifi, with iOS6 it worked flawlessy. I have no problems connecting in wifi to my router though.
    Anyone experienced that? Could you try?
    Thank you

    For what it's worth, I contacted the support team at Avatron (the developer of Air Display) and asked whether they had any workarounds. Here's what they came up with:
    Thanks for contacting us at Avatron support about the issues that you've been seeing when connecting via an ad hoc network. I was unaware of this problem but after doing some testing this morning it seems to happen with one of our iOS 7 iPad 2s as well.
    While this definitely seems like something that Apple needs to address, I was able to get Air Display working over the ad-hoc network if I disabled internet sharing from the Mac System Preferences > Sharing pane. Obviously the drawback of this is that the iPad will no longer be connected to the internet when you are using Air Display in this manner.
    Please let me know if this is able to serve as a temporary workaround while Apple investigates the problem.
    Cheers,
    Aaron

    Avatron Software, Inc.
    Clearly this is not a full fix as I can't access the internet when connected to my ad-hoc network, but at least I got Air Display running.
    Their reply also suggests that this isn't a blanket issue covering all devices running iOS7, as only "one of [their] iOS 7 iPad 2s" was having the same problem.

  • Cannot connect to WiFi in public areas or private or Ad Hoc connections

    I have a 32 GB iPod Touch 2G that is running 4.2.1
    All has been going well, until last week. I tried to connect to a public WiFi (that I have connected to 50 times or more) and it said "Cannot connect to Network". I tried everything that I know how to do, but nothing worked. I then went to another public WiFi (with WEP), but could not get on there either. I then went home and tried to connect to my computer through an Ad Hoc WiFi connection (since we do not WiFi at our house), but I was not able to connect there either.
    I reset it, I synced it, but the problem persists.
    I always have the iPod on Airport mode, so as not to run the battery down. I then take it off Airport mode, turn on WiFi, and wait for the Network to show up on the iPod Touch. I then press the Network that I want. It immediately gives me the check mark next to the Network name, then later it gives me the WiFi symbol at the top left of the screen. I then wait for the Login page...it never comes up. I then go to Safari to force it to come up, but nothing. It says that I am not connected to a Network. I then get fed up with it and try to turn off WiFi, but the Network name stays, even though the WiFi is Off. I then try to turn on the Airport mode, but the airplane does not show up. I try and try to get away from the network, but it will not reset to normal until I press the Home button and the On/Off button together. I then get the circle of dashes (but just a short 1 and 1/2 rotations - ODD), then the black screen. Then I press the On button and get the Apple symbol. Then I sign in and the Airplane is there and the WiFi is off...till I try again. No connections and then I have to repeat this to get it back to half way normal.
    Please help me with this situation. I really do not want to restore the iPod Touch, since I do not have a WiFi network near me...and I have a lot of apps that would have to be set-up through WiFi (taking a lot of time). My fear (if you could call it that), is that if I restore the iPod Touch, and find out that the WiFi problem persists...then I will not be able to use a number of Apps that I use a lot.
    There has to be a simpler answer to this situation.

    +Comment on #2. I'm not aware of any offline apps working with an iPod touch that hasn't been jailbroken. If you have jailbroken your device, we really can't help you here per the terms of service of this website. However, if this just updated data for a legit app or a web app, then it you are going to have to get network access working for it to work and, as you have said, iTunes isn't going to do it.+
    Answer to #2: For one thing, the iPod Touch that I have is NOT jailbroken. I have never jailbroken any of my devices. I am a big supporter of Apple products, because they work. If a device is jailbroken, essentially taking Apple's expertise out of the equation. If I wanted to do that, I would use Android, and suffer with the fragmentation that they suffer with (along with all the problems jailbroken devices have). Enough on that.
    Offline Wiki is an approved app from the AppStore (it is Wikipedia in your pocket, without the Internet). You download the app from iTunes. It is useless till you then download the content (whichever language that you want - for example the one I want, English is 3 GB of space). Since I am not in a WiFi area, and I do not visit WiFi areas often (nor for any real length of time, downloading 3 GB of information takes hours (nearly three hours, when I first did it). The only reason that I was reluctant to Restore my iPod Touch, was to avoid having to do that process again, and not being able to use the app (which I use a lot) until I do spend the time to download the Wikipedia Database onto my iPod Touch.
    +A comment on #1. Those websites that require you to login again - this is a function of the network setup at that site. In effect, they are expiring your lease as soon as you disconnect. When you log in again, you are treated as a completely new user.+
    Answer to #1: Yes, I understand that. Thank you.
    Good luck on the restore.
    Thank you. This, unfortunately was what I had to do. As expected, but not for sure, the WiFi is now working again. It seems that my iPod Touch got corrupted (within the iOS). The reinstalling wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, except I do not have the use of Offline Wiki (since my visit to the doctor yesterday was only for an hour, which I used to update all the other things that I needed WiFi access for. I started the download process, but it will take at least 2 hours to finish).
    Conclusion: The only way to fix this situation, as far as I can tell, is to Restore your iPod Touch. Thank you for reading my long windedness. Also, thank you "luvlabs" for our conversation (though we haven't seen eye-to-eye much in the conversation, but I appreciate the time you spent to try. Thank you.

  • After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

    switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
    This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
    (Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
    You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
    In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

  • IPad WiFi to Ad Hoc Network to View LocalHost on PC

    Hi There,
    I need to connect my iPad to my PC via an ad hoc wifi network and then view the localhost that is running on the laptop.
    Last resort I could connect my iPad to a wireless router that my laptop is wired to but with no internet access.
    I have tried just creating the ad hoc network and browsing by machine name, IP etc but that doesn't work.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    There are Remote Desktop type apps in the itunes apps store. Will these do what you need?
    "Splashtop" is a highly rated one for 4.99. There are probably cheaper ones.

  • Can I create a wi-fi network on my macbook and still connect to the internet via an actual wifi point?

    Hi,
    I got TrakProDJ from the app store and installed it.
    It allows me to control a DJing software with my iPad by setting up a network via Wifi Symbol in Toolbar>Create Network...
    The problem with this is the network I create isn't based in the internet--it's just a wifi link between my laptop and iPad.
    I'm sure I'll get asked to play songs I'll have to look up on youtube, so how is it possible that I can maintain my wifi network connection on my macbook and create an access point for my iPad to use to communicate with my laptop (to control the DJing software)?
    I'll really appreciate any help I can get!
    Thank you!

    You cannot use both an ad-hoc network and a normal ap based one with any wireless device.  Your only solution is to use a wired Internet connection to do so on the laptop, that way you use that for Internet access and your wifi for the ad-hoc network the app requires.  You might want to contact the developer of that app and find out why they limit the setup to just an ad-hoc wifi setup.  Seems that if all it requires is just a network connection to the laptop, they could simply use any existing network connection as long as both devices can see each other on it.  Either that or also give the user the option to use Bluetooth for it if they have the higher version of hardware to support the necessary data exchange.

  • Ad Hoc Connection with Windows Vista

    Ok I know that this question has been asked many times over, however I am having trouble finding anything that is similar to my setup. So here we go. I have a laptop that is connected directly to the internet. I am trying to get my iTouch connected to the internet through the ad hoc connection that I have setup. I was able to get it connected for a short amount of time once, but haven't been able to get it connected since. I am not too savy to this whole networking so that is why I am here. Most of the threads I have read are a hard to understand for me. If anyone can help me out I would be greatly appreciated.

    I assume that you want to use your Windows computer as the network source for the iPad to join so read this.

  • I want to use my ipad as a midi controller on my MacBook pro via USB no with wiFi connection, is this possible ?

    hi guys, i am new to garageband.
    i have the Ipad 4th generation and just installed garageband on my mackbook pro, i see that i can use my ipad as a midi controller via WiFi but there is a delay, my question is: Can i use my ipad as a midi controller via the USB connection, that will eliminate de lag or delay.
    thanks

    Keynote Remote, but you will need wifi. You can set up an ad-hoc wifi network from your Macbook itself ("Create Network" from the Wifi menu), which the iPad can connect to.

  • How to connect Sony X10 to wifi iPad?

    Hi all,
    Does anyone have Sony Ericsson X10 and had managed to connect to iPad via wifi?
    Thanks alot.

    Pei Jean-
    Is it possible to configure the X10 as an Ad Hoc WiFi network?  If so, you should be able to connect the Ipad to it in Settings-WiFi.
    If you can determine the X10's IP address when connected, Safari should be able to access it by adding HTTP:// before the IP.

  • Touchpad Wifi Connection Through Mobile Phone

    Hello Everyone,
    Can anyone help me find a way to use my mobile phone(s) as a wifi/bluetooth mobile connection to the internet. I have a work Blackberry 9630 with 3G Data on Verizon and a Palm Centro with Sprint everything data. Is there some way to use my phone(s) to enable me to access the internet for my touchpad? Since I have a Centro I am also looking to possiblyt upgrade to an android device if this might facilitate access for my Touchpad.
    Thanks,
    Sean
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    You will have to check for availability of "Wifi Hotspot" apps for the phones you mentioned.  My TouchPad works easily with my Pre2 and Pre3 with this type of software.
    I'd ask a salesperson to demonstrate this ability in the store before considering any purchase.  The TouchPad has problems with some phones that try and create an "Ad-Hoc" wifi connection.  Those that create an infrastructure type connect fine.

    Hi,
    So you're connecting your computer to the wireless, then putting a cable from the computer to an other device, if I'm understanding correctly.
    Did you see if both devices generate IP address's?
    I'm sure if you call Canon, they will be able to help you.
    Bonne chance.

  • Share Gobi2000 connection over WiFi

    Hello !
    I got a week ago my Thinkpad T510 with Gobi2000 3g modem. Everything works fine but I got an issue right now.
    Under Windows 7 I wanted to create ad-hoc WiFi network and share my 3g connection to other PC and Android Phone.
    On Android there is no listed any WiFi connection.
    On PC it is visible but I cannot connect to it.
    I found an application called Connectify but it does not support sharing internet via Gobi2000.
    Is there any other way to share this 3g connection via WiFi ?
    Have you tried it already ?
    Thanks for any answer !

    Connectify normally doesn't care what sort of 3G device you have, it only cares about what WiFi card you have.  I suggest that you read through the Connectify instructions again.
