POJava create wifi hotspot in Windows 8
text
Body
copied!<p>I need to create a wifi hotspot and a DHCP server in Windows 7-8 with Java. I'm developing a software that could be for the user less intrusive and simple that i could.</p> <p>For the first part of my work, I thought to use netsh to create the hosted network and to set static the ip.</p> <p>my current code is this:</p> <pre><code>String[] command = { "cmd", }; Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); new Thread(new SyncPipe(p.getErrorStream(), System.err)).start(); new Thread(new SyncPipe(p.getInputStream(), System.out)).start(); PrintWriter stdin = new PrintWriter(p.getOutputStream()); //now I use the stdin.println for my shell commands stdin.println("netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=mynetwork key=mypassword"); stdin.println("netsh wlan start hostednetwork"); stdin.println("netsh interface ipv4 set address \"Wi-Fi\" static 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254"); </code></pre> <p>Problems:</p> <p>1) I need to elevate the privileges to administrator. I tried to use "elevate.exe" <a href="http://jpassing.com/2007/12/08/launch-elevated-processes-from-the-command-line/" rel="nofollow">http://jpassing.com/2007/12/08/launch-elevated-processes-from-the-command-line/</a> (found in an other stackoverflow question) it work's well, but if I have three calls he ask me three times to execute the command with admin privileges..and this isn't very user friendly.</p> <p>I tried also to use "runas":</p> <pre><code>runas /noprofile /user:administrator netsh ...... </code></pre> <p>But in this case the problem is that: the administrator user have to be active otherwise I have to found a way to scan all the active users with administration permissions. In addiction after the runas I must interact with prompt and write the password.</p> <p>2) There is a way to scan all the wifi interfaces for the last netsh command?</p>
