Share Windows 7 wifi connection with Windows phone 7 smartphone

Posted on February 09, 2012

Recently i brought Windows Phone smartphone from Nokia : Nokia Lumia 800 (black one).

On my PC i have WiFi card installed (dlink G DWA 510)  and first my thig was just enable ad-hoc connection ….

But i was wrong  :( current Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) allow connection only for hotspot. Lumia even didn’t show connection for ad-hoc.

After some googling around i was able to configure wifi card to be able to share connection like ‘Hot spot’.

HOW IT WORKS

Windows 7 can create “virtual” wifi adapters based on the real adapters, with a unique MAC address and everything. This is similar to VAPs on Linux, which allows you to create one virtual adapter for logging onto an access-point, and another for running a soft-ap. The difference with Windows 7 is that it creates only a single virtual adapter for “hosted” mode — no matter how many actual adapters you have in the system. It’s called “Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter”, with the same MAC address decremented by one.

Article on MSDN:  About the Wireless Hosted Network 

What need to do :

  1. Run Console as Administrtor (press Start(win logo)->type CMD-> select cmd.exe from search and run it as administrator)
  2. type without quote: “netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid= key=” where  – your name for this network (this name will be visible on phone) and  – your passwor for this connection (please do not use ‘password’ like password). This command configure wireless Hosted Network settings.(don’t close console yet)
  3. Configure Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Open up the networking control panel. Select the interface that currently has Internet connection (like your Ethernet or normal wifi), enable “Sharing”, and then select the special “hosted” interface.in my case it was (Wireless Network Connection 2)
  4. Now we need start network. type in console : “netsh wlan start hostednetwork
  5. (Optional) if you want stop this connection type “netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

this all 

now simple go to Settings on windows phone and enable WiFi
