1.
Ensure that your computer is connected to the internet via Ethernet [technically, any connection other than WiFi should suffice, so iPhone Personal Hotspot, Bluetooth, etc. all fine too].
2.Open an "elevated Command Prompt":
- Go to the home screen and type "cmd",
- Right click on the "cmd" app and select run as administrator.
3.
In the command prompt, type:
A long list of information should come up, about halfway through you should find the phrase (with one option removed):
"Hosted Network Supported : Yes/No".
====================================
4.a)
If you see "Yes", then go to step
5.
====================================
4.b)
If you see "No", then check the line which reads:
"Date : 25/12/2010"
or something similar.
If the date is a little outdated (say, 2011 or earlier), then I would suggest googling the information from the following line:
"Driver : *****"
Whatever it says where the "*****" is, then search on google "driver *****".
If there is an updated driver for your network card, download this, and return to step
3. Hopefully this time you will see "Yes" to "Hosted Network Supported". If not then I'm afraid it's quite possible your card does not support the required feature.
====================================
5.
You now should see "Hosted Network Supported : Yes" when typing "netsh wlan show driver" into your command prompt. Now type:
Code:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
A confirmation message should show up stating
"The hosted network mode has been set to allow"
6.
Finally, after the above message has been displayed (as well as confirming that "Hosted Network Supported : Yes" is shown as above), then you should be set to go, simply run instacheck.
