Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

[GrooBdx]

GrooBdx You can leave it for the night. Also you can try nzone.vbs and run it manually, in case of any error it should make a warning.

Helo, run all night nothing.
I try the vbs (the one with NZ@Mcd1) and it cycle very well.

shadowdogg the actual MAC is mot shown on tge WEB GUO, check the actual MAC with
ifconfig $(nvram get wl0_ifname)
What is the router model, dd-wrt type (mini,micro,...) and build number (5 digit number)?
Also I need the output for
cat /proc/version;cat /proc/cpuinfo
, post: 5211302, member: 314279"]I still can't actually get it to work though. Must have spent a good 3-4 hours in total playing around with it. Following the past history, even tried v2 with no success, it just remains its own mac address forever.[/quote]

interesting. my windows 8.1 wont change the mac address but when i try on my sister's computer running windows 7, it changes without a problem. Guess i gotta use windows 7

No, you got to use maccheck.cmd first to check of your wireless card is capable of changing MAC address

you already confirmed that mine should work on pg 208

This is strange, because it is almost the same script. Can you do this:
nzone.vbs stop
nzone.exe start BASE256
schtasks /disable /tn nzone
nzone.exe reload
nzone.exe
(Wait 3 minutes and check if nzone.macs created)
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
(Wait 3 minutes)
nzone.exe
netsh wlan show hostednetwork

Repeat last two lines several times. Hosted network must becstarted and bssid must change. Or you will get an error from nzone.exe

 

[skarmory55]

the above worked! bssid was changed on windows 8.1, also got an instant hit

 

[duke_srg]

skarmory55 so you have no problems anymore?

argol13 Just follow "Before anything else" link at the first page of the thread

Delete the nzone.macs
run nzone.exe reload
and get it to work one time. i've to go, i will keep trying later, thanks

 

[skarmory55]

i hope so! but ill do some further testing just incase. thanks for the hard work!

Edit: Its 100% working now! thank you duke again for your hard work!

 

[duke_srg]

Delete the nzone.macs
run nzone.exe reload

Those two commands do exactly the same

One question duke_srg, I'm trying now the script for linux (http://nintendozone.no-ip.org/install) under Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm facing one problem at the moment, when it reloads itself the ap stops showing. I've modified the wlan0_hostap.conf file in order to use WPA (you know, wpa=2 or 3 and other options) and I've modified just the var SPDELAY to 3000 to increase the delay. If I use "/usr/local/sbin/nzone status" it says it's running, but after a few seconds it still says it's running but it doesn't work.
Here's an output from syslog:
Do you know how could I fix this? Could it be related to U14?
Thank you in advance.

Don't alter the SPDELAY, if you need to limit the minimum delay just change cron job like */5 * * * * will give at least 5 minutes delay between MAC change regardless of the total MAC number in the list.
Don't enable WPA at least at the time of testing, also it will not work with WPA if your 3DS firmware is 9.3.0 or higher. /usr/local/sbin/nzone status only shows whether cron job is enabled, because the script is not like a daemon, it just launched by the cron job periodically. There are plenty of issues with U14, I believe even the various installed X Server and its applications can produce various error. Anyway try to install the script from the scratch like:
nzone.sh install BASE256
Post the errors, disable cron job an run
nzone
And post the errors once more.

I tried the new nzone.exe. My MAC used to cycle with the old script. Now it does not. :x
I'm on Windows 8.1 like the others that have the issue. I hope this will be fixed soon. D:

That must not happen. However try this:
nzone.vbs stop
nzone.exe start BASE256
schtasks /disable /tn nzone
nzone.exe reload
nzone.exe
(Wait 3 minutes and check if nzone.macs created)
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
nzone.exe
(Wait 3 minutes)

netsh wlan show hostednetwork

Repeat last two lines several times. Hosted network must be started and bssid must change. Or you will get an error from nzone.exe

miilon You can check the actual MAC with ifconfig wlan0 but it sounds bad that you can't get IP settings automatically, dnsmasq may not work properly in your case.

I've updated my 3DS to the latest firmware, and I've been unable to get any hits using Homepass using either SSID when it worked okay before.

I had been using Virtual Router Manager and MAC Address Changer to switch settings around for Homepass, but now my 3DS will connected to the network, but won't pick up any Streetpass hits. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

[GrooBdx]

Well i can cycle manualy by alternate nzone.exe reload and nzone.exe.
(i ve got MAC 4e:53:50:4f:4f - 4c,43,48,49,46,4b,4d,4a,06)

on my PC : nzone.exe create nzone.macs, nzone.exe start BASEx no.
By the way it's a big progress thanks again duke_srg.
I will keep testing later

PS i streetpass sevral MII with my 4 3DS ( 2EU 9.4, 1EU 9.2, 1 JAP 9.2)

Just toggle ICS check mark several times and leave it unchecked, then run
netsh wlan set hostednetwork disallow
Then try to run maccheck.cmd.
If you have installed any wirtual router software, remove it before. If you tried nzone.vbs or nzone.exe method, check the scheduled tasks and disable nzone task if any.

I did, I can change the mac address of my main network, but the hostednetwork is still not starting...
It says something like that the resource is in an inappropriate state (not available); then when I use the nzone.exe method I get nothing on the line command, is it normal?

If manual nzone.exe changes MAC, then just must do the same, just check the job result code for any errors.

William Knights That,s right, yo can't start hosted network just after you disallowed it! Try this:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork disallow
netsh wlan set hostednetwork allow testtest testtest
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
netsh wlan show hostednetwork

I'm also having this problem.

 

[duke_srg]

Semajer, Bambamthepyro Just uninstall any virtual router software, maccycle and whatever you previously tried to use. It will never work with the latest 3DS firmware. And follow Before anything else link from the first post, it was updated with the new version of the Windows script and new instruction.

Thank you. This is the one step I needed. I'll try when I get home.

I've followed the first post until the maccheck.cmd. When I run that it returns with "Atheros Communications inc.", and then a long list of "Access is denied.". What should I do after this?

You must run command prompt from the administrator, i.e. right-click on the application icon and select run as Administrator. It was described in the instruction.

I'm the only user on my laptop, so I assumed it was already run as administrator, but thanks. I've followed the rest of the instructions and started the hostednetwork. The Nintendo Zone now appears active on my 3DS, is there anything else I need to do with my PC, or my 3DS, or will the Streetpasses start automatically after a while?
