Connectify

[Artoven]

Connectify uses WPA2-PSK right? I didn't see any other options in my PS3... it seems to be Automatic :/ but i will give a try

Hey guys,

is it possible to share your ethernet connection over your wifi devices (like iphone). If so can someone run down the steps as to how this can be done (using connectify version 2)

Thanks

I just installed the newest version, which makes Connectify a "service" instead of a process in task manager. That's what they said anyway.

Issues is, when I boot my PC I see an error that the Connectify service stopped working. The program still works and starts fine, but the message is annoying because it happens each time I boot.

Any solution? Connectify has not gotten back to me for days.

did a clean install of my OS and the problem is solved for me. FYI, Connectify NEVER got back to me

Proxy server problems

Hello, I started using Connectify a while ago and it was working great. Actually yesterday i came into this problem. When i turn on the wireless hot spot and go to my other computer to access the internet it started saying that the proxy server is denying access. I don't understand the problem sense it has be working properly until now!
Help me!!!

I believe the PSP only supports WPA/TKIP not /AES which is the only option for Connectify at the moment. The program is pretty nifty, I am having issues where my devices will be connected, but for some reason the internet appears to stop being served until I restart the app. I am using a RALINK usb adapter. Before upgrading to 7 I was using RALINK's software on XP to make an AP. I haven't had any luck with their software and 7.

Same problem here. Can't seem to get it to work for longer periods even with the latest 2.2 update. Let me know if you figure it out and I'll do the same.

Does connectify work if connected to the internet via a USB data card and not Ethernet?

Connectify can share the connection as long as you are running Win 7 and have a supported wifi card.

After all the messing around that I have done to try to make this program work line you say it can. I can only conclude that the statement you just made can't be further from the truth because this program has failed every single time I've tried it. Sometimes it will work for 4hrs or 6hrs or even sometimes a whole day but that is very rare and none the less it fails and completely stalls and the computer must be rebooted and connectify must be rerun to activate the HotSpot again.

@Max9028: you mean like a 3G air card from verison or sprint or something?

From past discussions with you, I recall you are using 2 wifi adapters which is a configuration that I have not used and I believe is an unusual setup compared to most other users of Connectify. It works for me and allows me to tether my smartphone to my notebook/netbook and create a hotspot to share that connection.

It still fails even when I use 1 adapter.

Solved...maybe

I think i have figured out why i couldnt connect with connectify, and i thought i would share it with the forums here. I am using windows 7 on my home computer and a few laptops, but couldnt get it to connect properly. i kept getting the "no internet access" message on the laptop i was trying to connect with. i could see the network, and connect, but not browse the net.

here is my solution...

I downloaded a different WiFi detector other than the default windows 7 one, in my case WeFi (download.com). In there, it saw my connectifiy network, and let me connect instantly! so if you are having this same issue, try installing a different wifi locator and see if this helps you as well!

good luck to all!!

 

[strollin]

Glad you found a solution that works for you. I can't explain why you needed to do that though, the standard Windows 7 stuff works well for me.

 

[Th3Mast3r]

Lol. Nothin works for me. Connectify SUCKS!!!

 

[Dblduce]

solved!!

ok, after i thought i had figured it out, it turns out i didnt, lol. when i got it to work, i tried it on my tower computer with usb wifi card, sharing that connection to my laptop. that worked, but i also had 2 other laptops that i was trying to get to work from my other laptop, ie, changing connectify from sharing on my tower to sharing on my laptop. here is what i discovered, maybe it will help someone else....

#1: on my wireless router, i found out that the wireless encryption type was set to "TPIP" instead of AES, as on connectify, so i updated my router to also use AES.

#2: setup: i had connectify running on 1 laptop, and was trying to get 2 other laptops to connect to it. they would connect, ie, see the network, but wouldnt allow internet connection. discovery?..... the pc name on all 3 laptops WAS THE SAME, so i changed all of them to something different, ie Home-PC to Mini-PC, Dell-PC, etc. after i did that and rebooted all 3 laptops, i started connectify back up on my Mini-PC, and then tried to connect to it from the other 2 laptops, and it now WORKS!

Hope this helps some of you out there w/ this issue. this has taken about 5 hours of my time trying to figure out. luckily i didnt end up buying a "compatible" wifi usb adapter or anything else beforehand. another thing to check is to make sure your wireless card is compatible with connectify. there is a listing on their website. my Mini-PC uses an Atheros wifi card which is one of the ones that works. if your card isnt on their list, you might want to try searching Ebay for one of their recommended cards. I found a USB Dlink compatible card on there for $12 w/ free shipping. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

intermittent problem

I am trying to connect the androi mobile phone to laptop using connectify for internet. It connected and some times I can get internet access and it drops suddenly/randomly once in ten seconds and there is no pattern for loosing net access.. But wifi will be connected always. Beginning I checked with my internet, but it is fine. only connectify is dropping the net access.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
