Realtek wireless usb internet sharing problem

anyone able to share internet connection using a realtek wireless usb with an iphone?

i want to make my pc as an access point thru my realtek wireless usb so i can access the internet thru my iphone

change your type of connection to Ad-Hoc instead of infrastructure/AP.


This is done by viewing the properties of the usb adapter, configure, advanced tab. the iphone may also need to be switched to ad-hoc mode as well

thanks for the reply...

i changed the network connection of my wireless usb to ad-hoc

there's no option on the iphone to switch to ad-hoc

still no connection

RTL8187 fix for windows7 (Working Version)

i had my RTL8187L working already in windows 7. i found a fix by someone ("msimango")("http://www.sevenforums.com/network-...185-wireless-connection-problem-w7-x64-5.html") who had made it to work with his RTL8185.

what i did was download and installed the windows7 version of the program within the realtek site ("Realtek") then i closed the utility and i changed the 8187.ini with this line below. after editing or replacing the 8187.ini try to run the utility again. it will be ok now

for those with other model chips like the RTL8185. look for the 8185.ini then use the lines above. just dont forget to change the 8187 to 8185 part in the RtWLanTitle and Model_Name. so you wont get confused with your part number everytime you look at its utility.

thanks! got it to work on windows 7
