Hi guys,
I'm currently having problems with wifi in laptop - it's connected to the network but it cannot transfer anything. So I have found a short term solution - to connect my TyTN II to wifi and then use it as a modem for my laptop via cable.
The problem is in Network Connections I can't choose wifi, only Orange Internet (3G). I tried to setup another one but there's no option to setup wifi connection, only cellular or 3G. Any idea how this could be done?
Can the G1 detect and connect to Ad Hoc WiFi networks? My router is fried, and there are no open networks nearby with strong signal.
I made one under Linux and another one under Vista, the device doesn't see both and entering it manually does nothing.
I suppose it can't see AdHoc networks.

I believe that it CAN detect ad-hoc networks.
I setup an ad-hoc connection from my pc, and it detected it, but there was no network activity. I probably did something wrong, but, I am not sure why it didn't work.

I use USB Wi-fi adapter for wireless connection and I need to say that G1 don't allow to use adhoc connection, it need only wifi router.
Some month before I see the answer from T-Mobile support that G1 can't use adhoc connection.
It's sad, bcoz my last WM phone (Tytn) has no problems with adhoc connection...
Alas I feel your pain. I use adhoc for my iPhone frequently because at school I can only jack into an ethernet because the WiFi is protected. But my G1 can't so I am doomed to EDGE when i'm in my mom's classroom after school

is this a software issue that can be fixed or is it a hardware issue?
Software. In fact the phone can MAKE ad-hoc networks that other devices and computers can see and join. That's how WiFi tethering works. You can start a wifi tethering app and use the ad hoc connection it creates, without using the cellular tethering at all, or you can examine the tethering scripts and extract just the part concerning the wifi.
I experimented a bit, and was able to change almost everything needed to share Internet from the PC to the phone, except default gateway on the phone...
Noone wants to help
I guess everyone who has an unlimited data plan thinks "Haha stupid stone age idiots want adhoc HAHAHA" . Damn it. I live in a stupid country and I don't have an unlimited data plan. I want to connect to my laptop's wi fi. Please anyone help!!!
Here's the solution

The important part is to tweak the windows part - you need to tell the broadband/adsl internet connection to share itself to the Private wireless network (the network manging your Wireless adapter). If you are having trouble with the windows part (say you connect and have full bars on the phone but no access to web) google ICS (internet connection sharing) in windows and you should get it working.
is there any way you can now connect the 3g phones.to laptop
Hi,
Is there a way to share the PC internet connection with the Magic connected with the cable?
I'm in roaming now so i can't use the 3G conection...
Thanks
Setup an AP, or install a software AP on your windows XP/Vista/Linux, if not behind HTTP proxy.
Of course, you have to purchase Wifi router, or Wifi network interface card with software AP.
My problem is that my Lenovo A3000-H does not allow devices to access 2g internet neither through WiFi hotspot or USB modem. 2g internet works on its own, I can connect to WiFi hotspot and ping the Tab, however there is no internet no matter witch device I am using. Interesting thing is that if I connect A3000-H to the internet via WiFi and then connect it to my laptop via USB and use it as modem, my laptop has internet, but as soon as I disconnect WiFi on the Pad, 2g kicks in, but internet connection on my laptop dies.
Any help will be much appreciated.
