sorry, wrong sub-forum, ask this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=262
not trying to be harsh.. but you obviously lack some basic knowledge about wifi networking. first read this, and try to reflect bit on youre diamond
above that you question can never be answered with so little information about the problem... its like "help my car doesnt start, what is wrong with it?"
understand?
good..

i ve bought diamond 2 days back..... i want to connect to the internet on my phone using my laptops broadband connection....how to do that... ive tried sync but still no websites open...can u help or moro info

still this isnt the place to ask this question.. but ahh well her it goes.. hopefully some mod will replace this into the right subforum...
you have 2 possibilities...
connect to the internet trought activesync. or make use of the wifi router you already have..
i would go for the last option,
just turn on youre wlan on youre diamond, seek youre router and fill out the neccesary info, like the passkey...
if that does not work, sort out the settings in youre router... you must be sure youre router accepts new connections...
last time i checked, via activesync i always have inet... but i never use it trought that way..

Internet through USB from PC

Hi All,
I have searched the forums but can't find anything on my specific issue. I used to have an XDA Orbit and if I connected it via USB I could use my PC's internet connection. Is there anyway I can do this with my shiny new G1. The reason I’m asking is I have bugger all reception at work and the Wi-Fi is located in another building, which is too far away.
Please help!

Hi,
My above post has been moved here but im not trying to connect my pc to the internet using my phone, im trying to conect my phone to the internet through my PC.
As far as I can see this post does not apply to my question, can somebody please help? I can't be the only one this applies to!

If the computer has wifi and is connected to the internet through wired network it can be done...
Is this your case?

My work PC doesn't have Wi-Fi. My home PC does though.
All I want is for my G1 to be able to use my computers internet conection via USB. My old XDA Orbit used to be able to do it via active sync.
i.e I can surf the web on my phone using USB connection as the access point
Any ideas?

As far as I know this probably will not work, but you can try reversing the port forward technique with ADB

Why would you want to surf the web through the phone when you have a PC on the other end of that wire which does the same thing, but better?

Several reasons that i can think of
1? Bad reception indoors, so i can waste time at work by downloading useless apps on my G1, and everyone thinks im working.
2? My cell provider charges me for internet bandwith usage (per kb/mb), im cheap and don't wanna pay them.
3? I'm a massochist, and enjoy using the G1's browser more than firefox(bleh!)
4? I'm running out of reasons now
All this hypothetically could be hypothetical.
Yup, im bored at work

Exactly, item 1 sums it up. I have no reception at work so if I have a data connection I can get email notifications and test out my apps. I can't believe no one else is missing this feature. On my xda I had it set up to sync with my various email accounts etc. It wouldn,t be a problem if tmobile's reception wasn't so poor!

I would assume it is possible but would have to forward ports from your computer to the phone, similar to how the thetherbot app forwards ports from the phone to the computer. But I may be wrong that could be a one way street for data.

Wow...you are a masochist As much as I like the browser on the g1 compared to other phones..I just don't see why you'd always want to use it instead of a PC

I don't want to surf the web on the G1 when right infront of me I have a PC. I simply want it to have a reliable data connection when I'm at work. As I have no signal from t bloody mobile and no wifi!
Nobody made a sync application similar to MS ActiveSync?

Why would we make something that is already built in?

ohh forget it. Your obviously not reading what i've written.

No you obviously haven't paid attention.
Why would we create something to sync our phone to our computer when it does it all OTA. On top of this how did you expect it to sync our calendar and such when it is all proprietary?
What exactly do you want "sync'd"?
And once again... I am sure you could figure it out if you read up on adb forward commands.

As my first post says I have no reception at work at all, this means I go all day without being able to sync my various email accounts etc. I would also like to be able to demo what our device can do to my collegues. unfortunately i don't understand adb or indeed know what it stands for and as I have no programming knowledge i thought I would speak with people that do.
I will try to figure it out for myself and post my findings here. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks it would be useful.

I'm also looking for some solution to use my Laptop's internet connection on my G1 via USB. The reason for this is I have a very weak neighbors wifi and only my Laptop can connect to it. I am writing android apps that need to connect to the internet.

you could set up an adhoc connection on the computer and connect to it on the g1 then bridge the networks

unfortunately my work PC does not have a Wi-Fi card so this wouldn't work. damn it whys it so complicated!?! :-(

You could just buy a router.

ppc and wifi-internet sharing question on pc.

i have a huge problem ..well here's the thing,i have pc without wifi but there i have a ppc(xperia x1) which has a wifi..so i want to use my ppc to scan wifi networks on my pc(connection : ppc with wifi on>usb>pc)..this is needed because i want to crack down that locked networks,i cant do that on x1 because i havent found any good wifi pen-testing tools.
i have tryed this showthread.php?t=341398 but its so hard to understand ..
pls help me,post links or something .
(sorry if it is in worng section..)
what i want to do is basiclly have wifi on the pc using the pda's built in antenna...

http://www.wmwifirouter.com/

i already have that but i dont know how to make it work...

That depends on ISC compatibility. Many devices can't share from 3g data to wifi properly.

That, and this should work, but your PC should have WIFI to search.

i dont have wifi on pc -.-
what i want to do is basiclly have wifi on the pc using the pda's built in antenna... so i was wondering if it is possible to make the pda some sort of adapter for the pc to use via usb/bluetooth?(i want to search for some wifi networks through that connection,i will try to crack wep key )

Wifi to USB
Ok, i was searching for the same, but not to crack wep key ...anyway i found this. ICS Control, it has a lot of settings and looks like its made for experts but it will work for you.
I can not test it at the moment but what i get from that post, it does the job!

ICS Control v.21 - utility for controlling internet connection sharing

lysdexical said:
Yes. I guess I should point that out as that is probably what people want to do with it. It should be able to share between any set of adapters. The common ones of course would be:
Cellular to Wifi,
Cellular to Bluetooth PAN,
Cellular to USB.
But it should also work with more "interesting" combinations like:
VPN to Wifi - get wireless clients onto a VPN
Wifi to Bluetooth - allow bluetooth network devices to access a WLAN.
Wifi to USB - basically the pda acts as a wireless network card for the pc

Need help finding the latest wifi router cab.

Can anyone direct to the latest wifi router cab. I installed the wifi cab i have attached on my sticky to a phone with the latest upgrades (tmo rom update) but it didn't work. I know I've had the same one stuck on there for some time, but thought it still worked. If anyone could provide with the link or cab that would be great. I tried a search on both the US and overseas forum but no solid leads. I even installed what I thought was the latest one but it could find it on the phone even after doing a search. Thanks in advance. I'll also be posting the cab in my sticky to others to use.

Hey man, here's the one I've been using all along. I could never get the one you had in your sticky to work right, but I thought others had been able to.
This one still works fine for me, but I admit I haven't yet tested it on the newer (2.13) stock ROM.

I think I tested this one out yesterday. It would say it was successfully installed but I couldn't find it. I searched almost every folder in the phone and couldn't find it. Then I installed my sticky wifi cab and it started up just fine and computer said it was connected to the phone. But, it would never connect to a page. I'll test it out again. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Thanks for the cab.

No prob! The link I have in my start menu for this is just called "Wifi Internet Sharing.lnk" (I don't remember exactly if I had to manually put it there or not), but the file it points to is actually "/Windows/CMInternetSharing.exe", so look for that if you don't find it anywhere else

Hmmm nope....I have it installed now and regular wifi still works great. Are you using the HTC wifi sharing cab, or kurniawan's CMinternet sharing cab?
Does wifi work before you run the wifi sharing app, but then not after? Or does it stop working as soon as you install the sharing cab?

Well here is how it goes. At both work and home I have a wifi router and typically if I feel like dl large files or streaming vids faster and better I connect to wifi. Well when I installed the HTC wifi sharing cab my friend with an iphone was able to connect to wifi signal and use it like that. but when I got home I hit the wifi quinklink and it was just spinning and spinning and never actually connects again. I unistalled three minutes later I was back on my home wifi router...It has always had the result not matter what Cab i tried.

I was using the HTC Wifi Sharing cab and having similar problems. I could do the Wifi Router thing, but then my normal Wifi wouldn't work. One thing that was happening was that my phone's MAC address was getting deleted from my router's MAC Filter permitted list. Another thing was that even after un-installing the CAB, my Wifi recognized itself as an available network, and tried to connect...
A hard reset eventually fixed that.
I've installed the 'K' version that Sir Phunkee recommended, and every works perfectly now...

Hey bud...sorry, I lost this thread for a bit
Actually, I do seem to remember that when I first installed the cab and ran the wifi sharing, my regular wifi wouldn't connect again until I soft-reset...but that's the most it would take to get working again. I haven't been around any other devices in the past 48 hours that I could use to test that again, but I'll do it as soon as I am and let you know (I think it doesn't happen like that anymore, but I want to check before I say that)

One can after all, tether with USB and BT.

Tethering PC to Android to Laptop -- HOW?

I would like to share internet from my PC (which is connected to the internet through LAN) to my Smartphone (Samsung Ace 2 - GT-I8160). I would like to do that using USB cable since my PC doesn't have WIFI or Bluetooth. I know you can buy devices to enable WIFI and Bluetooth but i don't want to buy them. And then i want to share the internet from my smartphone to my laptop.
I download a program called Android Reverse Tethering on my computer to tether from my PC to my Android phone. That is working fine. But then when i try to tether from the Android (which is now connected to the internet via the PC) to the laptop via WIFI tethering, it connects but it says there is no internet access (you know, the exclamation mark on the signal strength sign at the bottom left corner of screen - Windows 7).
So yeah...how can i successfully tether from PC (LAN)--->Android (USB cable)--->Laptop (WIFI)?

he
hey did you ever get an answer? I would like to know that too.

Guys... seriously... The first thread in this forum, says to SEARCH. There are MULTIPLE tutorials in this very forum outlining this process. Please search for stuff before you post anything. The second thread in line, right under the ONLY stickied thread in this forum, is a reverse tethering tutorial. At one point, your thread was probably listed right next to it.

Hey buddy! So nice of you to reply! I did search before asking on here. Actually, that's how i got here...one of my fruitless searches led me here. You see....if you'd "thoroughly" or at least carefully read my query.. . you would realize that what i am asking is quite different from what you"think" i am asking. I know how to reverse tether...that is, share internet from PC to Android. That is not what i would like to know. What i would like to know is how to tether from PC to Android TO LAPTOP. You see, you missed to last to words. But that's OK, it happens. Thanks for your reply again.

Why in the world would you tether from PC, to Android, to the laptop? What would the point be? Just tether the laptop to the PC. What is the need to put the Android device in the middle of that equation? That's probably why you hadn't received any responses, because it doesn't make any sense. You can edit the process of the tethering tutorial to make it work on a laptop, regardless of OS, as well.
"I would like to share internet from my PC (which is connected to the internet through LAN) to my Smartphone (Samsung Ace 2 - GT-I8160). " that is the first line of your post.
You probably will not be able to achieve what you are asking, because the Android OS doesn't recognize the tethered connection on your phone as an actual connection (that's why a bunch of apps can't use the signal). Have you tried to use a wi-fi tethering app (Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether is the best option)? You also will need to be rooted for all this to work (especially since your carrier probably blocks Wi-Fi tethering altogether if your data plan doesn't allow it, regardless of whether that connection is a data connection or a Wi-Fi connection).

And how would i be able to tether from PC to laptop directly without disconnecting the LAN cable from the PC and connecting it to my laptop...hence, making the PC "internet-less".?
