I have my-tether installed and working on wifi, bt, and usb.

My host pc[192.168.1.10] is setup to connect to my wireless router[192.168.1.1]. I use this connection for Internet access.

My host pc has a second wifi adapter [not really but for ease of discussion, lets assume this]. This adapter is setup for dhcp.

I setup My-Tether on the Pre and use my host's second adapter to connect for SSH access, rather than having to connect to the USB cord.

Now my host PC has adapters at 192.168.1.10 & My Tether sets up the second host adapter at 192.168.1.11

HOWEVER......

The My-Tether App sets the pre up at 192.168.1.1 WHICH is in DIRECT conflict with the wireless router my host PC's first wifi NIC connects to. They both have an address of 192.168.1.1

I would like to change the subnet that the Pre's WiFi uses.

I tried changing the, /var/usr/palm/applications/net.aonic.my-tether/app/controllers/app-assistants.js, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.3.1.

I also set up /etc/network/interfaces so that eth0 is configured for 192.168.3.1.

I also setup /etc/dnsmasq.palm.conf so that the eth0 and 192.168.3.0 subnet sets up and hands out 192.168.3.0 addresses.

finally I also set up /tmp/pmnetconfig/dnsmasq.server.conf so that the eth0 interface uses 192.168.3.1.

However all these configuration changes all hold after a reboot except the last one!!!

The /tmp/pmnet/config/dnsmasq.server.conf file is deleted and recreated after reboot and restart of My-Tether.

Is there a way to point My-tether to a permanent copy of this file or some other file???

Does all that make sense?
