Sorry for late replies guys, been busy past few days.

ok i tried using the mac address you gave me with the mac shift on my wifi and for some reason cant get it to work right it either tell me to check to make sure i enter the wifi name right or it cant find and the mac invaild

here what happens or what i get after changing and starting homepass

yet the mac address seems to be changing though

It seems like you may be entering the wrong Adapter Name for both RhyzHomepass and MACShift, it needs to be the wireless cards name not the name of your hostednetwork. From the images you gave me it should be "Wi-Fi" that you enter not "Hot-Spot".

Something to be aware of also, it seems you only have one connection (your wireless card), that means that every time you change MAC Address your internet will stop working on your computer for a couple of seconds.

AAAAAAAaaaannnnd Just like that I somehow got it working.


Edit: This is coming up in the command prompt...

An interface with this name is not registered with the router


I got 1 streetpass with 6 regular Miis plus a special mii.

"An interface with this name is not registered with the router" error means the Wireless Network Adapter isn't being restarted, so your MAC Address won't change, which explains why Bambamthepyro is getting one Homepass hit, since your MAC Address is already set too 4E:53:50:4F:4F:51

Could you send me an image of your Wireless Networks like digipokemonmaster did (http://i.imgur.com/QkpTP9v.png) you can pm me this image if you would rather.

Thanks :)

When you're running RhyzHomepass you use the commands RhyzHomepass.exe "Wireless Network Connection" 30 ? (30 for example sake) From your MACShift post above MACShift seemed to have of worked when you used Wireless Network Connection instead of Local Area Connection

No. Ive tried typing my "Wireless Network Connection" (The actual hidden name); but the only message I get is "couldn't find adapter, check --------- is the correct network adapter name."

Edit: Something I just thought about, I'll try it. Typing "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NZ@MCD" (without including a key).
I'll let you know.

Re-edit: Ok so I typed it like you said... and it worked. Like right away. I little crazy.

Nice, so it's all working good?
The only other thing I could see is having your wireless adapter is the one you use for an internet connection as well, when the MAC Address is changed your Internet will disconnect for a couple seconds

I found that out ime trying to figure out how to use my LAN or another wireless connection (we have a second connection for "work") so I can have Internet access.

I got the nintendo zone working and my 3ds connects to it with no problems even got the special miaomoto mii but i am not getting any streetpass hits . I have left it for hours running and still no streetpass hits i have been using the nbahomepass (latest version) and i have chosed Game Spain. My 3ds is on the latest firmware so maybe this is the problem ?

Yes I did for the whole day and night and nothing will try again tomorrow
Update:
I ran it again and again I got the second special mii character from nintendo but still no streetpasses. I am on the latest firmware if this does matter.

Once you have DD-WRT and your SSID set to "attwifi"; go to the Cron Job..I think it's under Administration and simply copy/paste this.

0-59/4 * * * * root ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 hw ether 40:53:50:4F:4F:`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1``/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1` && ifconfig eth1 up
2-59/4 * * * * root ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 hw ether 4E:53:50:4F:4F:`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1``/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1` && ifconfig eth1 up

Thank you so much! This works great. What mac addresses does this cycle through. Trying to understand the script and I see it removes 1 but wasn't sure how far.

As far as I'm aware you don't need the latest firmware. You have to give it some time. The MACs are completely random. Some work all the time (once every 8 hours) while others don't work at all. And its not that fact that they don't work, its that no one has streetpassed on the mac yet and/or the information on those streetpasses hasnt been "saved". Stick with it. If you're not getting any error messages in the command prompts everything is working fine. Be sure to also test your 3DS wifi.

Do you leave it in sleep mode?
Yes, sleep mode is the only way.

...as long as you have no other wi-fi connection saved and you are connecting to "attwifi" as main source of internet for your 3DS you don't need to go to sleep mode.
