IPhone OS3 and Wireless Ad-Hoc Networking (Vista)

I used to use my laptop (running Vista) to create a Wireless ad-hoc network. I then used to connect to this wireless ad-hoc network using my iPhone nd surf the net that way...
Now after upgrading to OS 3 i do the same thing... but when i connect to the wireless netwrok with the iPhone... it disconnects my laptop computer from the internet... but the iphone still manages to get internet perfectly.
Anyone having this problem... or better yet know how to fix it?
Cheers

I was kinda figuring that, that was the impression I've been getting after hours and hours of research. What I did find was that you can use Applescript to create an ad-hoc network, and that Applescript can be run from a Java program. Once that network is established, would it be feasible for Java to it to send packets to another machine?

I have a iPhone 5C and a PC with Windows Vista.I did pair my phone thru Bluetooth but when I try to connect I get this message:"error establishing connection" What is the reason of this?

Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that your phone number is checked and iMessage reads as activated. Remove the checkmark from the email address and make sure that only the phone number if checked. It should appear grayed out, but should still have a checkmark. If the phone number does not have a checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a few moments and then turn iMessage back on and make sure that it activates.

Iphone 4G and wireless keyboard ... Not connecting

I'm just adding to the thread.. I have the same situation with my iPhone 4 and the original apple wireless keyboard.
In Settings/General/Bluetooth:
The phone bluetooth goes into discovery mode.
Displays the name of the keyboard and says "Not Paired"
I click the keyboard name and I get a spinning "apple clock" and nothing happens
I have waited for it to time-out and tried again and still nothing.
If I hit the Return key on the keyboard I get a very brief message giving me a passcode followed by a box saying "could not pair with Michael's keyboard"
Every time I try it I get a different 4 digit passcode number.
Keyboard connects fine with Mini-mac and is disabled when II try to connect on iPhone.
Please only educated responses. Went to Apple store and "genius" "lol" told me "oh, keyboards have passcode of 1111. I immediately called him an idiot for making ** up. I wish they would just say they don't know.

I am having the exact same problem when trying to pair my iPhone 4 with apple bluetooth keyboard. Did you find the solution, hockeystick23?

HP CP1525nw - Connect via wired network and wireless ad hoc?

At my job we have our HP 1525nw printer connected into the network printserver via ethernet cable. The printer has its own IP address setup on the network.
With support for XP computers ceasing, a copule of computers will be cut off/blocked from the job's network. One computer is close enough where we can make a USB connection to print. Another is located on another bench. Furthermore, the one that is further away from the printer also can't be upgraded to a compliant Windows OS due to incompatibility with specialized software used to operate equipment hooked up to this computer.
Is it at all possible for this wired network printer to also be setup to print wireless via an ad hoc connection? The idea was perhaps we could install a wireless card on thix XP computer and print wirelessly via a direct connection to the printer, avoiding having to connect to it via the wired network at all. But it is sounding like this wouldn't be possible. Looking for a direct answer before I start shopping around for a wireless PCI card.
This question was solved.

From other posts I have read, I think the CP1525 can be either ethernet or wireless not both at the same time. That will prevent you from setting up with an adhoc network the way you described.
You might try an inexpensive wireless router with a build in print server attached to the usb port. then add wireless USB wireless dongles to the XP computers. Be sure you make sure that the wireless dongles support XP. Also for security purposes you will want to leave the wireless router disconnected from your network.
If your fairly tecky and you don't mind playing a bit you could check your local thrift store for a used router with a print server. For printing you don't need the fastest wireless available. Just make sure it is a b/g router (not a B only one).

Will signal strength or internet speed suffer when using a Generation 1 Time Capsule and wireless extending a network with a Generation 5 Airport Extreme

I have a wireless network in my home and I have a Time Capsule 1st generation and a Airport Extreme 5th Generation, will this cause my internet to be slow or have glitches with signal strength?

We've gone over this in the other thread.
If the Time Capsule will be connecting using wireless only, everything depends on the quality of the connection between the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule.
The quality of the connection will be affected by the distance that the Time Capsule is located from the AirPort Extreme and any obstructions in the signal path.
If you have a ceiling between the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule, then you should expect the signal arriving at the Time Capsule to have lost 30-40% of its bandwidth (speed). So, the Time Capsule can only repeat the weaker signal that it receives.
Other walls or other obstructions like heavy furniture, large mirrors, etc will also affect the wireless signal as well as cordless phones and other wireless networks around you.
If you are lucky enough to have line-of-sight between the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule, then the wireless connection between those devices can work quite well. Few of us have this luxury, and must settle for significant compromises in performance.
If the wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule does the job for you reliably, then you can leave things as is. If you are not getting the reliable performance that you need, then you will need to establish a wired Ethernet connection between the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule.
As you might imagine, there is virtually no signal loss in a wire, even up to 300+ feet or 100 meters.

TS1398 I recently got a new screen for my iPhone 4s and now no wifi networks are showing up when I turn the wifi on.

I tried resetting my networks and turning my phone on and off with the wifi turned on, but neither of it worked. I don't know what to do and I really need wifi on my phone for tomorrow.

Did Apple install the new screen? Or an Authorized Apple Service Provider? If so, you should return to the location that replaced your screen to see if they didn't hook something up properly.
If it wasn't an Authorized Apple Service Provider, or an Apple Retail store, You should take it back to them and discuss it with them. In this case, Apple will likely not offer any replacement service as it was opened by an unauthorized third party.

IPhone 3gs and wireless repeater

Hi, I read that home sharing doesn't work with repeater (under the main router work perfectly) but my problem is that under the wireless repeater I can't see shared library, but in the settings, if I type wrong credentials, it refuses, if I type correct credentials, nothing happens, but I can't see the library. Anyone have this problem and can help me? Why I can access and I can't see the library? It can be a problem of iTunes?

But, it appears that if you are a stanch Apple fan and have an Apple access point you have less chance of it failing.
Not true. Lots of people who own Aiport and TimeCapsule access points are having WiFi trouble too.
If you have near the current-technology access point that is not from Apple supporting 2.4/5Ghz then there is a chance of failure.
That's like saying if you are human you have a chance of dying. Well, yes, but not real helpful. There's a known issue with a subset of devices that are configured to broadcast both G and N signals and that, I guess is what you are referring to.
There are a few other conditions. But, Apple seems to be relying on the users to test it.
I'm not really sure what else Apple can do than that. You might be tempted to reply that Apple should buy one of every WiFi router on the market and test the iPad against it. Okay that sounds reasonable until you consider this: manufacturers change suppliers and update firmware without changing model numbers. You and two buddies can go out and buy the same exact router - by manufacturer name and model number - and essentially wind up with three different routers in terms of components and firmware. Given that situation how can Apple or any other company hope to test against all routers? And that doesn't even take into consideration the multiple ways a router can be configured, the surrounding environs, etc.

Iphone 3G and AIM. "Need network connection"?????????????

I just upgraded to the 3G. I am unable to use AIM as I keep getting amessage saying that I need a network connection before I can use it. I am under the impression that I should automatically be connected as there is no field that tells me I have to sign in or connect. Anyone know what is wrong or what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

That is definitely it. Just update it. It was a problem with the app. Mine did the same thing for about a week. I updated it and now it works great.....now we just have to wait for the push notification that was supposed to come with 2.1

Can't connect ad-hoc network after IOS 8.2 update

Hi,
This is my first post on Apple Discussion so please ignore grammatically and other mistakes if i made.
I am using iPhone 5S 32 GB factory unlocked and working very well in INDIAN network. I use to connect ad-hoc network created on my Window 7 Desktop via Wifi Surf-n-share Belkin USB. It is working very well and connected always until i updated IOS 8.2.
After IOS 8.2 updates, iphone couldn't connect ad-hoc network.
Is there any bug for this issue or security update.??
Help would be really appreciated.
Awaiting some good response.
Thanks in advance.

Hi abidmomin,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that after updating your iPhone to iOS 8.2, you're not able to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
I recommend starting with the tips in this article to troubleshoot the situation:

Which Airprint enabled HP-Printers support ad hoc network?

I want to buy a printer/scanner for my mother who uses an iPad 2 with 3G-connection. She doesn't have Wifi. Now there are several printers which support ad hoc network so that the Ipad could directly connect to the printer and print through Airprint.
First I thought about the Photosmart 5510 or 5515, but i read here in the forum that the 5510 doesn't support ad hoc network.
Can someone please tell me which printers i could use for printing through Airprint and an ad hoc network? Will scanning directly to the Ipad also work?
Thanks a lot and best regards, O.
PS. Meanwhile I found the term "HP wireless direct" which seems to stand in for an ad hoc network. Unfortunately I haven't found any list of printers which support HP wireless direct.
This question was solved.

LearningAdHoc,
I am going to speak from the prospective of the m251 laserjet printer with regards to wireless direct. If you are looking at this printer's control panel and turn wireless direct on, then your iOS device will detect it. You can even go into your Embedded Web Server (EWS) and change your wireless direct and Bonjour name if you would like to make it more recognizable or have more than one printer your would like to have on the network. Once you have done have turned on the wireless direct from your control panel, you go into your setting on your iOS device, wi-fi > choose a network > and choose the printer (caveat - the "spinning wheel" will keep turning, just ignore it). Go back to your setting main menu and you should see that your printer has been choose as the access point. You can then go into your photos, safari, etc and print from them by choose the action button and when the menu comes up choose print > select your print (should already be selected).
The wireless direct connection and the cellular internet connection can be used at the same time but a word of caution....if you have a wi fi network setup, you will have to jump between the 2 to print....make sense?

Wireless ad hoc routing protocols

I have an application that uses wireless ad hoc routing protocols (node-to-node communication). Has anyone developed any application that implements wireless ad hoc networking protocols, such as route discovery, route maintenance etc. using LabView? If so, I'd appreciate if you could provide more insight on your application.
Thank you in advance.

I've done something like that in the past, but LV was not the interface to the network.
Basically, LV was used to control parameters within an embedded system (running Linux-Embedded) and sending commands over serial and / or Ethernet ports. The system was comprised of multiple boards, each running an OS with 3 layers of communication, some of which were serial, most over Ethernet.
However, the firmware took care of discovering and setting up the network. LV simply quieried the system to find out what it had to deal with (how many boards, what type, etc), then it would quiery the application to find out if the expected networks were esblished and to allow permissions over the network.
Are you trying to achieve something similar or are you trying to implement (setup) the network directly using LV?

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.

After I connect 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.

Can I create a portable ad-hoc network between an iPad and other wireless devices?

I have a iPad that uses a third-part app to connect to and read data from a wireless hard drive. This works great in my house over my local network. What I want to do is create an ad-hoc network to use in my car or other remote site to basically just allow the wireless connection between the two devices, with no internet connection. I have used an ad-hoc network in the past to sync data between my iPad and my iMac, so theoretically it should be possible, but I can't seem to find out how to do it using the iPad to create the network. Is there a support article discussing this? Has anyone out there tried doing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, but I must not have made myself clear. I'm not looking for internet or 3G service. All I want is a temporary network to share data over. I have lots of movies and videos stored on a wireless hard drive and I just want to be able to access them in the car while on trips or on vacation. It works in my house even when we lose our internet connection. The cable modem is off-line and the Airport Extreme light glows orange, but the wireless network still works. I guess that I could set up an iPhone as a hotspot and pay extra for a service I would only need sporadically, but I'm hoping that there is an alternative.

Can not use imessage/facetime on new iPhone 5 and can not get iPhone 4s and 5 to remember any wireless networks.

Two weeks ago I got an iPhone 4s and an iPhone 5 from a local carrier in central and eastern Kentucky called Appalachian Wireless. We had our numbers ported with AT&T. My iPhone 4s can use imessage/facetime but my wife's iPhone 5 can not. It just says waiting for activation and after several hours it will then say activation unsuccessful please turn imessage/facetime off and back on to activate. When we got the iPhones my carrier said it could take 30 days to activate due to our numbers being ported. My 4s took less than 3 hours to activate imessage/facetime but my wife's 5 still hasn't activated. A few days ago we went back to our carrier to get a problem fixed with our regular text messaging and we informed of our problem with imessage/facetime and they told us the most it has taken to activate was 2 days. I know I can use an apple id/e-mail to use imessage/facetime but I want her number to show up. Also neither iPhone will remember our wireless network. Every time we leave our house and come back we have to go to settings and choose our network. Is there a way I can fix these problems and have her imessage/facetime activated and use her phone number and have our iPhones remember our wireless network?

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.
