Can someone help me on this. I finally rooted to get tether and downloaded the 2.02 wireless tether app from the market and followed all steps to get it working. My computer shows that it is connected to "android tether" but I can't get the internet on the computer to work. Everything seems to be working fine but it isn't. I don't have any Roms installed as all I did was root the phone using unrevoked and went straight for the tethering. Can anyone help?

problems with wireless tethering
I just rooted my evo using unrevoked 3.21 for android 2.2. I am trying to use the wireless tether function but keep receiving the error 67 data call failure even though my phone is rooted. On my laptop I am able to connect to the evo hotspot network but am told there is no internet access. Was wondering if anyone ran into the same problem or if anyone had any fixes. Thanks.

Sounds like your trying to use the wifi hotspot function that came with the EVO, the one that costs $30 a month. Unless you sign up for a package with Sprint, when you launch it you're going to get an error.
This thread is regarding an app other than sprints wifi hotspot app that only root users can use. Please see post #1.
alright i am a noob when it comes to this but is the wireless tether the same as the hotspot? sorry if this has been answered already..i am gonna root my evo pretty soon. thanks
Installed and running.... Hot spot activated... iPad and evo connected.... No Internet connection! Whygod why!? Any help?
A) You are rooted correct? Meaning you can download android terminal emulator from the market, type in SU [press enter] and it returns "#"
B) You do have super user (app) installed and can grant applications root permissions correct?
C) When Android Wireless tether ran the first time, you granted it root permissions?
D) You didn't download "Android wifi tether" from the market, and rather read the instructions in post #1, correct?
Answer those and were off to a good start.

I used unrevoked 3 soo I'll run down the list...
A) downloaded android terminal app from the market, typing in SU... Permission denied! Does this mean I didn't root properly?
B) I do have the super user app
C)can't remember
D)I downloaded the app from the post yes...
Working on the same thing so hope nobody gets upset with a hijacker

I used simpleroot method. I am running Vaelpak 2.2, just loaded yesterday. I have emulator installed and got #, I have granted superuser permissions. On Phone, I get wireless tether is currently tethering and I have the MAC and IP address of my laptop listed as connected/authorized. On Laptop, it says connected at 54 mbps but it will not load a webpage (server not available for google.com). At the same time, buddy's droid can see the network signal but cannot get an IP address and he doesnt show up on my list of authorized clients.
Any advice on next steps?

If you type in SU (then press enter) into android terminal emulator and it doesn't return with "#" then you are not rooted. You may want to visit the How-To Root sticky.

Stop thread jacking!!! kidding. That's exactly what this thread is for
(not hijacking but for people needing help)My first advice to you would be to uninstall your current wireless tether. Once you've uninstalled, CLICK THIS which will download WT pre 9.
Once you install WT pre 9 open the application and the first thing i want you to do is this ...
1) Menu > Settings > Menu > (re)-Install binaries/configs
Still no
I really appreciate the help.
I noticed that my wifi had an error earlier. I run Tasker which turns on my wifi when I am at the office so I disabled that. I am not sure if that would affect it but I thought I should try. No dice.
I tried the link in the message above which gave me wireless tether pre10 and followed the directions.. 1) Menu > Settings > Menu > (re)-Install binaries/configs
The computer connects and says connected in the wifi icon on the compuer and the shade on my phone but I get "server not found" on the browser.
I then uninstalled and went back to the original post to get the pre9 version and followed the same steps 1) Menu > Settings > Menu > (re)-Install binaries/configs. The only difference was that the pre9 connected at 11 or 12 mbps. But still gave me the "Server not found" error on the browser.
Both configurations take a long time to issue an ip address to the laptop.
Just to make sure, I connected the pc to the office wifi and it connects and pulls up google just fine.
Could this me a ROM issue on the phone?
When this is fixed, will I be able to connect to multiple devices or only one at a time?

OK, I went back and restored the MYN rom and tried the pre10 version with no success.
HOWEVER, I uninstalled that, went to the original link in the first post for the pre9 version and got connected. The speed is only 5.5 Mbps but it is connected... and just bumped to 18 Mbps by moving the phone to a window.
Is that the type of speed I should expect?
