Virtual Router - Wifi Hot Spot for Windows 7 / 2008 R2

Created Issue: GetDpiAdjustedMargins graphics object not disposed. [16793]

dmex — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 06:04:10 GMT

It seems the Graphics object in the Win32.GetDpiAdjustedMargins function doesn't get disposed.

It can be rewritten like so without any side effects so its disposed and cleaned up correctly.

public static Win32.Margins GetDpiAdjustedMargins(IntPtr windowHandle, int left, int right, int top, int bottom)
{
// Set Margins
Win32.Margins margins = new Win32.Margins();

// Get System Dpi
using (System.Drawing.Graphics desktop = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(windowHandle))
{
float DesktopDpiX = desktop.DpiX;
float DesktopDpiY = desktop.DpiY;

// Note that the default desktop Dpi is 96dpi. The margins are
// adjusted for the system Dpi.
margins.Left = Convert.ToInt32(left * (DesktopDpiX / 96));
margins.Right = Convert.ToInt32(right * (DesktopDpiX / 96));
margins.Top = Convert.ToInt32(top * (DesktopDpiX / 96));
margins.Bottom = Convert.ToInt32(bottom * (DesktopDpiX / 96));
}

return margins;
}

It required updating drivers and a reboot, but I can confirm it works great with the Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN in my Acer AS-1410 netbook. Thanks!

It's affirmative that Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN does not support Virtual wifi. This is one of the two Intel Wifi Products (along with Intel 3945ABG) that does not support My Wifi, a similar utility from Intel to create a wifi hot spot in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

New Post: about starting as a service

victorpy — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:06:55 GMT

Virtual router is installed as a service program. It starts when user start a session? or start with windows?.
When i start my session i see the program initiated but you have to press the button for the router to real initiate. Is that the way it should be or is just my instalation?

If that the way it should be, could there be a way to initiate with command line, so not only the service start but also the virtual router it self.

Thanks for the application is very useful

New Post: Which Wifi devices are supported?

TheLostOne — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:40:19 GMT

Intel Wifi 13.1.1.0 drivers have been released but unfortunately 3945ABG still isn't supported.
I hope they'll add that card in the future.

Created Issue: issue with VMWare Player 3.0 [16451]

kgersen — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:34:03 GMT

if VMWare Player is installed in the computer then "VMware Network Adapter VMnet1" is always selected in the 'shared connection' field (3rd line).

If we change to something else with the drop down list , it just go back to 'VMware Network Adapter VMnet1' again after a few seconds.

Commented Feature: Allow to Run without Internet Connection Sharing [15051]

crpietschmann — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:38:12 GMT

Remove the requirement to pick a "Shared Connection" so that Virtual Router can run without Internet Connection Sharing if the User wants.

Commented Issue: Multiple Instances [16300]

crpietschmann — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:37:29 GMT

I've just installed Virtual Router and haven't really tested it yet, but I noticed that I can run multiple instances of it. Is that intended?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: crpietschmann **

It may be a good idea to restrict it to only a single instance. There isn't any reason one would want multiple instances open anyway.

It doesn't really hurt anything to have multiple instances running, but each on may step on the others toes a little. I mean "hurt" by the fact that two instances don't cause two separate wifi hosts to be started, since the UI App just relays info back and forth from the windows service that does the real work on setting up the hosted network.
