Hey Guys,

ok here's my problem, ive been trying to set up my G1 ready for connection to my laptop via a Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi Connection, however it never follows though properly, ive been following this guide http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22681 on how to set up this little hack. ive read through the guide many a time and i always seem to get the same 3 Results....

1. i install BusyBox through terminal and it pops up a huge big fat list of error relating to some Invalid device link error, and then Terminal Crashes.

2. I Successfully install Busybox (gods willing how) when my G1 deems it worthy and so i follow through to the bit where i have to edit the Wireless Lan initialization File (tiwlan.ini) And i get a error when i input vi tiwlan.ini that states "vi: Not found" which im assuming is terminal saying what the hell this command doesn't exist.

3. Now this happened once, i got all the way up to the Edit tiwlan.ini file and the file actually opened! i got all excited until i saw the contents of the file were defiantly not how they should be and could find no trace of the WiFiAdhoc = 0 line.

Please any help on this would be greatly appreciated as im stumped and can't find my way past this, thanks.

If you're rooted, why not use the app Wireless Tether for Root Users? Am I missing something here?

Yeah Just Find A ROM With The IP Tables Installed, Usually It Will Say Wireless Tether Works Or Something Along Those Lines. Then Download Wireless Tether For Root Users, It Works Perfectly.
