Abstract
A technique for operating a mobile station as wireless local-area network [“WLAN”] gateway. A gateway application sets up (3-0) a WLAN base station capable of communicating with WLAN terminals over a WLAN network; creates a network identifier (3-2, 3-4) for the WLAN base station; assigns (3-8, 3-10) an IP address for the WLAN terminals; resolves domain name service [“DNS”] queries (3-12 . . . 3-18) in cooperation with an external DNS service system; assigns a port number protocols supported by the gateway application; and tunnels internet traffic (3-30 . . . 3-36) between the WLAN terminals and an internet host over the broadband connection. The memory further comprises a media server application for sharing content among the one or more WLAN terminals. The gateway application may redirect (6-22) a first HTTP page request (6-24) from the WLAN terminals to a start page of the media server application.
