How to make a private Wi-Fi access point from your iPhone

You have an iPhone and you want to provide your devices with Internet access (especially your iPad)? No problems. In order to do that you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone and a special app that will turn your iPhone into a Wi-Fi spot any place you like. Sounds interesting? Then let’s begin.

Step 1. Make a jailbreak


You can find many ways how to jailbreak your iPhone on the Internet. If you don’t want to do that by yourself, you may ask people who have already done that. So I won’t tell the procedure of jailbreak here. After the jailbreak you need to launch Cydia app (cydia.saurik.com). After the first launch the app will ask you how you would like to register: user, hacker or developer. I think that for most users, especially for those who are not very used to hacking and moding, “user” will be the best variant. After that you’ll get access to the shop.

Step 2. Search for the app


Click on the “search” icon in the right top corner of Cydia interface and type “MyWi”. Then choose the program from the search results.

Step 3. Meet the MyWi
MyWi is an iOS application that allows sharing 3G iPhone communications among other devices, such as iPad, MacBook, and even Apple TV. The program is distributed only via Cydia shop and costs 19.99$ (though you’ll have 3 days of free trial). In order to buy the app you’ll need your Amazon or PayPal account. After verification of your copy and installation, your iPhone will reboot. But don’t panic – everything goes according to a plan.

Step 4. Creating of an access point


After the reboot launch MyWi. You’ll see the window with the settings. In order to create a Wi-Fi spot you need to turn on “WiFi Hotspot” setting. The name of the network by default will be the same as the name of the iPhone when connecting to iTunes. As soon as the access point is activated you’ll see a blue line in the upper part of a screen, which will signal you about connection activity and about channel bandwidth.

Step 5. Internet surfing


After creating Wi-Fi hotspot it’s high time to connect other devices to the network and reap the fruits of your labor. Open the utility for managing wireless networks and choose the connection with the name of your iPhone.

Congratulations! Now you can surf, chat, download and do whatever you usually do on the Internet. Advanced users may be interested in more detailed MyWi settings. They’ll find the options for protecting your network with a password, for changing Wi-Fi channels, etc.

It’s important! Jailbreak of your iPhone automatically cancels your warranty, and creating of Wi-Fi hotspot may breach your agreement with your provider. So you do everything at your own risk.

Create a bootable CD or DVD with or without floppy

Create a bootable CD or DVD with or without floppy

Powered by Translate Create a bootable CD or DVD with or without floppy With the CD-ROM available on almost every computer nowaday, floppy drives become a history. However, for those who find computers a hobby, might run into a situation when they need to create a bootable CD that works just like the old floppy disk. Unfortunately, to do this, you still need a floppy drive to read your bootup floppy disk. Wait, the good news is, you can just down load a bootable ISO image and burn it to a CD. And even better, we have a copy of an ISO image right here. You can download this image and follow the instructions below, or you can do a web search for more options. The information on this article will guide you step-by-step how to create a bootable CD/DVD, either using a bootup floppy disk or a boot image file. You will end up having a bootable CD or DVD, with CD-ROM driver supported, that could startup your PC and bring up the command prompt. This is going to be a good starting point, then you can run other utilities such as hard drive ghost, etc.. Many current CD/DVD burning software support the bootable feature. If you already have your favorite burning software, look around to find the bootable option. For this article, I will use the steps and sample screen-shots with the burning tool called Nero. You will need a boot disk (floppy) or a bootable ISO image to start. If you don't have one, you can download an ISO image here. This boot image is Windows-98 based, which means it uses the Windows 98 bootup sequence, which should do what we need. You can also download different boot disk images from the internet. I've found bootdisk.com has a very good collection. I assume that you already have Nero installed. Also, it is highly recommended to use a rewritable disc so you can redo the process if you have to. Launch Nero Burning ROM At the New Compilation Window, select "CD" from the drop-down menu and select "CD-ROM (Boot)" for CD, (or select "DVD" and "DVD-ROM (Boot)" for DVD) If you use a bootup floppy disk, insert the floppy disk and select "Bootable logical drive..." If you use an image file, select "Image File" then click "Browse" to browse to the image. At the "Open" Window, browse to the location where you saved the boot image and choose the image you wish to use and click "Open" (you might need to change the "Files of type" to "All Files" in order to see files with different extensions.) Click "New" at the New Compilation Window. Nero New Compilation Window disappears and Nero brings up its main screen where you can add more files to the CD/DVD if you wish. For example, adding a "ghost" folder with the file "ghost.exe" as follows. Once you're done adding all the files you wish to, click on the "Burn" icon. At the "Burn Compilation" Window, select "Burn"!

The problem is, when a command prompt window launched, the default path is normally the system path or the user profile's path. The users will then have to do all the "cd" commands to change the directories to the path he/she wants. This trick shows you how to add an option called "Command Prompt" when you right-click on a folder in Windows. With this option, a Command Prompt Window will launch and its current directory will be the path to the folder you've selected. Use this trick at your own risk.
