Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

[Langin]

so "cd" to whichever directory macshift is in. so if it's in C:\, type "cd C:\". Also make sure that you are running as admin.

So:

open command prompt as admin.

type: cd C:\

type: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=attwifi key=password

type: netsh wlan start hostednetwork


goto network and connections, right click your ethernet connection and select properties. in the sharing tab, tick both boxes and share with "Local area connection xx"

type (back in command prompt: macshift -i "Wi-Fi" 4E53504F4F46

and on your 3DS, delete all other access points and then manual setup>search for points. Select attwifi, the password is "password"

and then see if you get a hit. If you do, then you can download my cycler so you can cycle through new MACs and get up to 100 hits.

It still doesn't seem to work somehow(the network works, but I still don't get any streetpasses), is there a way to reset all the stuff I've done so I have a clean start? I think I screwed up somewhere.

I'm on Windows 8 too and I can't get it working. It makes no sense. At one point I did get one street pass, but that was it. I see my 3DS showing up in Virtual Router, but it constantly shows host name could not be found ip address could not be found, then it fails a connection test, on 3DS and disappears from Virtual Router. No clue why it worked one time... any help is appreciated

also it seems if i try to stop virtual router and restart it I get an error the service cannot accept control messages at this time.(exception from hresult:0x80070425)

and then i have to reboot to get it straightened out and try again....

Also, I just noticed, the attwifi adapter is only sending packets and not receiving any... I think MisoSoup has this issue on windows 8 also.

Looks like if I have "Local Area Connection* 13" set to obtain ip automatically it gets an APIPA address... ug, wish I could get this working.

This is where I'm at now. The only changes I've made are changing in the new line that duke wrote me for "MAC" and the random generator I was able to make. I don't know which one is throwing me "arithmetic syntax errors" when I try to run that to output the contents to a file.

If I don't have the \s before the dollar signs on RANDOM and MAC, it outputs values--not the command we want it to run when it runs the script.

Stuck again.

Actually, now it's just telling me arithmetic syntax error--period. With or without the slashes.

Joy.

 

[dicamarques]

dicamarques Could it be possible to make the Linux script to have 100 MAC adresses like the Chaldron's MAC autoshifter? This would maintain everyone on the same chanels

Yes, but adding 100 macs would be a PAIN xD
But I think that we can use the randomizer by duke_srg and just tell go from 00 to FF or more

If I leave the apipa address, and manually put an apipa address in my 3ds for that connection, I can actually see a host name and address in virtual router, though obviously I can't hit the internet...

I am using the Windows 7/8 guide. The steps where I have to put my wireless adapter, for example, mine is set to Wi-Fi - it just says could not find adapter name "wifi"

 

[Lyomak]

I give up. The Android and Windows methods are not working, no matter what I do. I did every step on the guides, even formatted my laptop. Thanks anyway to everyone who helped me and the creators of the guides.

Rename the "Wireless Network Connection" for "Wi-Fi" on the network adapter window.

In any event I got this working no problem on A windows 7 machine I had...just wish I could get it working properly on 8

Yeah. in cmd again, type:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow
and macshift -i "Wi-Fi" -r
Restart computer.

Thanks! It has been 30 mins now..and I don't think it is working for me either. I am tempted to try Android version, but rooting is another dilemma for me.

I broke down and paid for Connectify because it was the only way I could get my 3DS to connect via my computer wifi to the Internet.

I still used macshift to change the mac on my wireless but no streetpasses. I can use Nintendo Zone but that is it.

No matter what I tried doing by following the guide here for Win 7 I was never able to get a connection up and running that also shared Internet access.

Has anyone else successfully used Connectify to get streetpasses or did I just waste $40?

I am using Connectify for almost 2 years now with my 3DS and I never paid anything.
When i change the mac adress and try to create a hotspot an error displays. "Microsoft hostednetwork is currently unavailable". When I restore the mac adress, i can create the hotspot.
At least i could get a streetpass via android method

Sorry for my horrible english

 

[Silent_Ninja_Man]

For those using the W7/8 method it's not written in the How To but don't forget to share your wired connection with "Miniport" so both your real wifi card and "attwifi" can have internet access.

And if your ethernet pass through CPL (i had this problem) make sure to plug it directly into the wall not on a power strip, there's not enough bandwith.

Got the same error with that app. I used the default app on my phone and it works just fine

What you need is to get a phone that is rooted and that uses android 2.3 Gingerbread and modify the file /data/nvmac.info, otherwise you wont get it working.

So the only practical method for 4.1 devices is to use a 2.3 rom?

That's what i find out, I tried in 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.2, and got no luck with them. So the easiest solution is to get an old android gingerbread phone.

I think I'll be able to do a customizable script to support even this, just after we fix a compatibility issues with the different routers. I still did not tested it on any Realtek-based router =(

As others have said it's pretty hard to get it to work through Android. No one's got a guide for android because of the various errors everyone's been encountering... I'll let you know if I get it working on my phone.
Unless your tablet has 3/4g or some form of data connection this isn't going to work. If you can get reverse tethering working via USB you might be able to do it. But I'm not sure how you go about that, or how to make android share the connection over the wireless radio.
Android is based on linux, so if you do it this way you could try messing with hostapd and dnsmasq... It's much less of a pain to just order a router that's already got dd-wrt on it, OR buy one of these they can change their MAC through their web interface.
I've more or less given up on my phone but (I'll keep trying, since I was able to get it to connect to wifi with a changed MAC once) I'm also going to test a couple wireless cards on my RasPi when they get here.
