Finding the other guy or finding you, whatever works :) He's the only other person I've found searching around that's had the same problem. > I think usb tether uses unroutable addresses and considers the two links as > separate networks. wifi treats them as on the same network. > That's fine I plan on putting each phone on a different subnet and routing between them (for now at least). I'd like to have pairs of addresses like this PC Phone 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2 192.168.3.1, 192.168.3.2 192.168.4.1, 192.168.4.2 192.168.5.1, 192.168.5.2 etc Each phone has a usb0 interface, the PC has interfaces usb0, usb1, usb2, usb3, usb4, etc. I plan on making a network of many ( >10, < 100) phones, eventually I'll have more than PC too. Most users also appreciate the convenience of wireless when using phones > also.. don't tie them down! > Not me! :) I specifically want to make a usb network of devices. One more question: it seems that Android phones really like 192.168.42.129 as their address when they're put in tethering mode. I grepped the entire FS on my phone for this string and it seems that this address is hard coded and can't be changed without rebuilding some part of Android, is this right? I believe I found the address in a dex file somewhere under /cache. I'm really sure how those dex files are created (run time, build time, something else??)
