Hello, I have posted this on a third party forum where i found somebody else with the same problem. I will post it here too as a fix has not yet been found. Any ideas will be great.

Basically when creating an adhoc network in windows 7. And connecting an iphone to it. The wireless displays 'waiting for users to connect', and the iphone is unable to pick up ics via windows 7 or any connection between eachother. However the iphone does seem to think its connected to the network via the wireless icon, windows 7 says nothing is connected. I have tried on vista and it works perfectly. However my computer running ubuntu can connect via windows 7 ics perfectly fine. But i still think this must be a windows 7 problem.

I notice than Vista assigns the wireless adapter the address 192.168.0.1 when ics is enabled. The iphone then picks up the following under vista on DCHP ip 192.168.0.x 255.255.255.0 router 192.168.0.1 dns 192.168.0.1 However windows 7 does not assign anything to the wireless adapter, and gives the iphone a 169. Ip with a 255.255.0.0 subnet instead.

And no router or dchp. I attempted to manually assign the wireless adapter on windows 7 to 192.168.0.1 and also manually assign the correct ips and dns etc in the iphone. But still the same problem. Strange though how i can use the windows 7 ad hoc network on ubuntu but not the iphone. Bigfish21 and makak, Thank you for reporting the interop issue of Win7 adhoc with iPhone. In order for us to investigate this further, we might need your help in enabling some logs on the Windows 7 system and sharing them with us. Is it possible for you to email me at huis at microsoft dot com.

I can provide you further instructions on enabling the traces as well as the mechanism to upload them to us. Meanwhlie, we will also try to see if we can reproduce this issue locally.

Can you please provide the Wi-Fi adapter model and driver version. In an elevated command window, type 'netsh wlan show driver' and send back the output. Thanks very much in selfhosting Windows 7 and providng feedback.

As I state there, there is no doubt that a change in Win7 relative to Vista contributed to this problem, so help from MS with this issue would be much appreciated. My wireless network adapter is the Intel 4965AGN, Microsoft (?) driver version 12.4.1.4 (netw5v64.sys). Hope this helps! -JoeLenovo X61 tablet, Core2Duo L7700 1.8GHz, 4Gb,Intel 965 integrated graphics, MultiTouch/MultiView screen (pen + resistive touch), Intel turbo memory (disabled.), UltraBase docking station. Meegon and Joe, Thank you for reporting this issue. It would be very helpful to collect the Wi-Fi related tracing informaiton for further investigation.

Can't Connect To Ad Hoc Network Windows 7

My email is huis at microsoft.comThanks,Hui Shen MSFT. I have sent my trace report to Hui Shen but I am a bit confused about the 'try to repreduce the problem'.

The problem is pretty easy to get to, but since the problem does not 'happen' on the Windows site I am a bit confused about for what use the debugging/trace report is worth. In other words: how can a trace report tell why the iPhone does not obtain a valid IP address? If you ask me it should be the trace report from the iPhone that should be useful. Anyway - i recognize that the problem is related to the way Windows 7 pools the IP-address (now that Vista works okay). The stupid question: who not just look at the way Vista does it and then implement the same method in W7?

Yes that would be the thread:) i dont know what wireless chipset your using but if your using atheros this should fix your issue. Im using atheros 50007 on an asus laptop Downloaded this Installed under XP compatibility mode. Works perfect. Alternatively if your not using atheros 50007 id take a guess at finding the equivelent xp driver for your chipset and install it in XP compatibility mode.

Ive installed a more recent build of win7 on a broadcom based laptop will give the phone a try on that when i get a chance see if it works 'out the box' so to speak.
