I want to be able to connect devices on my laptop using the ethernet port sharing the bluetooth connection I have established with my ATT Tilt. I can't seem to find a way to share that connection. Anybody knows if its possible?
Is there any way i can connect my xbox with the usb connect
I have searched and found a lot of ways to teether my 3G connection to my desktop/laptop via USB or Bluetooth. Not what I need. Here's my perdiciment.
My USB wifi adapter is kaput. I would like to save some bucks and not have to buy another one.
So, I would like my Sprint TP2 to connect to my hotels wifi and then allow my laptop/desktop to connect to my TP2 via USB or Bluetooth and access the internet.
I thank you for your time in advance!
I have a USB dongle which I brought for my laptop, and I have a DHD with my PS3 which is connected to my Sony Bravia 26 inch.
The USB tethering on my DHD works fine and is able to access my PC's internet just fine. If I switch on wifi hotspot on my DHD, my PS3 can recognise the network and connect to it as well.
Can I do a uSB tether to my DHD with my laptop, and then enable wifi hotspot so that my PS3 can access the internet with it? I cannot go in for a 3G plan because here in India, it costs a bomb. My USB dongle costs a bomb too, but Ive already invested in it.
Can someone please tell me how I can do what I wanna do? Thanks in advance
Can it be done?
I travel a lot and use my laptop to get the ethernet IP address from my hotel room in order to manually configure my xbox 360's network settings. (I have an older Xbox 360 without wireless).
Since the hotel ip addresses are different for the ethernet connection than the wireless ip's, how can I figure out the ethernet IP using the A500?
The only thing that I can think of is to carry a small wireless router around. As a bonus it would be handy for the hotel that has sporadic wireless coverage.
I have no idea if an ethernet usb dongle stabbed into the A500s side would work.
Good luck.
Yeah. I have been looking into getting a wireless adapter for the 360 but they seem to be very device specific for Microsoft. I did see something that transmits an ethernet signal across your wall's electrical lines. It was about $60 for that kit and the reviews indicated good speeds.
If I had that though, I would still need to figure out the ethernet IP settings somehow. I am trying to figure out a way to leave my laptop at home when I travel now that I have my tab.
Get a cheap router than can run dd-wrt router firmware and set it up an ethernet bridge. Works like a charm for the x-box (or anything needing a wired connection and connecting to wireless).
Just to elaborate where this is going a little better. If you are using your own wireless router (Not an XBox adapter.) you should be able to log into the configuration console of it with your tablet and easily determine the ip of the hotel, internal and external.
I'm not sure what one of those adapters would cost, but the kind of router that AndrewD2 mentioned will run you around 30 bucks and up. His suggestion is awesome and would be a great way for you to use the hotel internet on your XBox even if there is no wired connection.
Hope that helps.
I suggest this
While is a poweline and can work part of a pair, it can also work as stand alone and doesn't need any extra power supply. It's small and u can configur it easily. You plug the eth cable one the cat5 socket and plug the dlink on the electricity socket.
FYI this is what I use.
