Connectify Keeps Changing System IP

S3P3HR · 17 Apr 2012

Hey Guys .

Over the times I had 3 installations of windows 7 and at first Connectify would assign an ip out of system . ie ( System IP : 192.168.1.50 - Android IP : 192.168.101.1 ) .

The second install of my windows 7 was good . for example ( System IP : 192.168.1.50 - Laptop IP : 192.168.1.51 - Galaxy s2 : 192.168.1.54 ) . I believed everything worked because they were on the same network .

Now I reinstalled all again and they get : ( System : 192.168.1.50 - Laptop : 192.168.114.50 )

Problem is this :When you go to network you cannot see other computers on the network . And android cannot browse shared files in windows 7 via es file explorer . and nothing networkish on it works except internet sharing . I believe they are not set to be in the same network can anyone help ?

I am using win7 64-bit , wired DSL modem that goes into main PC's Lan and a dlink usb adapter for wireless to other devices .

Here Is what you get from cmd>ipconfig :

From what I'm seeing in the ipconfig the network connection 2 isn't getting the default gateway which explains why you can't see the other machines although I'm not sure how to fix that as it's supposed to be automatic.

You might try using the manual method to set up the WIFI hot spot, link for this below.

There is a setting in connectify that allows you to choose another subnet which would keep the client machine from accessing your files. Maybe that setting wasn't correct?

Looks like the manual method works though, glad you sorted it out.
