So i'm having an issue getting this to work, i keep getting "The method or operation is not implemented." when i try to start the hotspot. it's set to local area connection if that helps
First off make sure you have a local area connection first. That means you need an ethernet cable plugged into your laptop that is connected to a functioning router. Aka it needs to be an internet providing ethernet cable. Depending on how many wifi adaptors you have on your computer you can sometimes stay connected to the wifi while running the hot spot.
After you get that sorted. Type Cmd into the search bar on your start menu and open the only result. Into the Cmd prompt type in
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow and press enter.
Then type in
NPCA.CPL and press enter, it should bring up a window showing you all the networks connected to your computer. One should be your ethernet cable, one your wifi adaptor, and if you have a second wifi adaptor then it should be disconnected. Right click on the disconnected adaptor. click on the
sharing tab and then click the check box that says allow others to connect to this. Then hit the drop down menu, and set that to local area connection (your ethernet cable) make sure you confirm your choice with the OK button otherwise it will not save.
Then open up instacheck and name your hotspot (I call mine pokechecker) set the password for it and where it says shared connection set that to the local area connection (your ethernet) when you click start hotspot it should start working if you've done all of this right.
Oh and if you have hamachi installed on your computer, this creates its own Local Area Network, so make sure you have the right LAN selected when you try to run the hotspot.
If people get stuck repeatedly I can make a guide with screenshots.
I forgot to add this orginally >///< Make sure you grab WinPcap from the first page of this thread. Hotspot wont run without it.
