Is anyone aware of a method to have Internet Connection Sharing use the Wifi connection (ad-hoc) instead of BT PAN or USB?
It seems like all the necessary components (DHCP, etc) are already there...
I guess I'll give it a go myself.

Not by default. It'd, however, be indeed great if you could come up with something like that.
do we know something new about this.
A really dream ICS would be an ICS with Wifi (Router) option.
SOLVED!
I got ICS working over WIFI!!
The Hermes (and presumably any other WM6 phone with ICS) can now function as an 802.11b/g access point.
It's a bit hack-ish right now, so I'll post a cab or application shortly.
sweetness!

Guys I have a Mogul and the $15 unlimited plan i called sprint customer care and inquired about tethering...They informed me however that I cannot. I attempted to do it anyway and got a user name and pw error. What can I do and is tethering possible?
Download and install the attached cab. Then open internet sharing on your phone, click conncet, then plug in yer usb cable to your computer. You will tether for free.

I tried this and get a invalid user name/password when trying to connect and it won't connect unless the USB is plugged in. Am I doing something wrong? Just updated to WM 6.1
And ideas?
When you open Internet Sharing program what options u get ? If you only get option using Phone As A Modem u need to edit registry HKLM\comm\internetsharing\settings
edit key 'ForceCellConnection' so it says 'Sprint PCS '
How would this work for Telus? (Canada)
Make sure you dont use PAM...phone as modem...they can tell when you are using this VERSUS using Internet sharing where the data connection is used. It appears that the phone is accessing the net for browsing on their end.
I have a verizon 6800 with DCD 3.1.5 and Internet sharing. I installed the WMModem as posted earlier. When I open Internet Sharing I press the connect, then plug in the usb cable. The computer sees the phone, but I get a message "Limited or No connectivity".
Under network connection Details this is what I get"
Physical Address 80-00-60-0f-E8-00
IP Address 169.254.66.5
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
My internet sharing works if I use WIFIRouter, but don't always want to use this. Any ideas why this does not work? I'm able to follow instructions, but not too smart with the lingo, so please be gentle?

how about alltel
will this work on alltel?

Not to sure about that DCD ROM version but you usually don't have to install that CAB as he includes that in his ROMs. That IP address is bad and that is why you can't connect. I have DCD 3.2.6 and all I do is run Internet Sharing and click on connect and then connect via USB and it works. At least for my XP machine. My Vista machine doesn't like my phone at all. I have even tried bluetooth and Vista is still having problems. Going to reload Vista again some day.
ruff_ryder, what ROM are you on? Did you try the CAB above to see if that works?
Other Setting
Don't you have to enable "Enable advanced networkfuntionality" under Start-Settings-Connections- USb to PC also when tethering?

Mine is checked so I would assume so as my internet sharing works.
Jambrose, thanks. I guess I'll just live with this, until I upgrade to DCD's new rom.
Alltel, Yes

Will this also work got BT tethering? USB is not an option for mac users as no drivers are available
EDIT: Confirmed it works with BT as well. However, the connection doesn't seem to be stable enough for online gaming. It works for a while, then randomly the game will stop receiving data. This might be Sprint trying to curb people from playing WoW on their network.
I think it may be in that case that it may be bluetooth, not sprint that's giving you trouble.
I'm kinda lost....all this started after I updated the ROM now to 6.1 or whatever but when I open internet sharing the only option I have is PC Connection:bluetooth or USB.. b4 I had that plus sprint pcs data package or PAM. What or how do I fix that?
i can't download the cab files
any body getting this page or msg?

I have read a few threads regarding tethering, but its not clear. Is tethering available out of the box? And if so, which kind, Wifi or USB?
If not, how would you enable USB tethering?
It seems like Wifi tethering is available via CAB.
Thanks.
usb tether is available out of the box and wifi is easily installes with a cab. Most cooked roms have wifi tether preinstalled.
Anyone having a problem with the HD2 losing access to data after receiving a call while tethered? It may be losing data after call even when NOT tethered...have not checked yet but it's annoying and breaking connection and reconnected doesn't fix it...a soft reset is required.....seems to only occur on LONG calls as short ones continue fine.

Just google "HTC wifi router" and you will find it.

Legally does Tmobile allows Tethering???
I tried USB mode tehtering and worked fine only problem was as i was talking with a tmo agent one day i just happen to ask them about tethering and they told me it is against their policy to tether. any thought on that??

I take it you didn't read the stickies. The cab is there.
I'm using the Miri-Steve Elegancia V4 rom and whenever I try to use the wifi router, my mac will not connect. Any ideas?
Hey guys just curious if there is a solution to reverse tether via usb on the motorola atrix. I've searched every post imaginable but nothing works for the Atrix. Come on XDA turn water in wine for me

I was wondering how to tether via usb normally, I can't seem to find an option anywhere on my AT&T branded Atrix
It should be in your list of apps... there should just be an app called "Tethering" to preform your task. It's super simple to use as well just click of the "USB Tethering" option and your done but for further detail on tethering try just going in google and typing USB tethering on windows XP.
Sorry I would post a link to a good site but I'm a newbie and I need to do 8 posts before I can post links to external websites.
If you don't have the APP let me know and I'll find a way to get it to you.
But someone please help me out with my problem...
Thanks,
Ghettosean
ahh I see, unfortunately I don't have it and I assume it's because I'm running gingerblur without bloatware.. Would be great if you could somehow get it too me and in relation to your problem I don't think it would be easily possible unless you used wireless. Ad-hoc network with internet connection sharing.

What? did I get ripped off? I haven't seen an app for tether that came with my phone. If that is true, then all the time the DEV's put into hacking to get it working was for not? use the search and look for tethering. the answer is close to what you said, but does not involve an "app". It is a setting within the wireless network settings, but selecting it alone does not get you tethering.
Ahh I have seen wireless tethering (but use barnacle instead) I was curious about USB tethering though

If any newbies want this app just email me and I will send it as for the people clogging my post I will send it by the end of the day... I just want help with my problem now and I know it wont be easy unless its wifi but it can be done with other phones on xp... im going to try and get it working effortlessly in linux this weekend... help xda!!!

Maybe I am not understanding what your question. tethering is usually referring to being able to use the phone as an access point so you can surf the web from your computer using the phone as a "modem". what are you wanting to do with reverse tethering? If you are wanting to do what i described, go into the development threads and look for ARoot or gladroot. also I think most of the roms have this built in now also.
pdanet allows tethering through usb

By reverse tethering I mean the opposite of what you have described and that is to use the internet provided on the computer onto your phone. This can be done and I will do it with red hat linux I'm positive that I can get this to work but to get this to work on windows XP is a different challenge with the Atrix in particular.
If anyone has any information please help a brother out!

I don't know about USB tethering, but if your computer has a wireless adapter you could use it to create an ad hoc network to which your phone could connect. You could then use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) in Windows to bridge your internet connection to your wireless one. That way your Atrix could use your computer's interntet connection wirelessly!

True but as far as reverse usb tether. I don't know about android but with winmo just by having the phone synced would allow for this. Have you tried the medi sync or any of the other option when you connect via usb to see if they allow for this?

if what you want is to find workaround of WiFi problems on unlocked Atrix, you'd better look for AT&T SIM (even nonworking, just to report the phone it's operator ID - there are lot at eBay). Currently this is the best solution. Also, member crnkoj is developing the solution HERE, but it is very complicated for now.
Old trusted WinMo born when WiFi on phone was just a miracle, so it was able to get internet through USB, but Android never dreamed there is an AT&T whith its stupid intervention in phone firmware.
Thanks for all the replies... I've found a solution and I can actually reverse tether over USB two different ways and I will share my findings in a week... I have one last snag. Full internet access but I can't download apps from the market even though I took down my firewall on windows... Give me one more week but if anyone has a solution to that new problem that doesn't include opening port 5228 let me know. Cheers!!!

Solution
Hey all... I'm still having no luck downloading from the market or using other internet apps but browsing on the web seems to be fine with reverse usb tethering. here's what I have done:
1. I connect to my laptop via usb and I start up regular usb tethering (as if I'm going to give internet to my computer from my phone)
2. When I complete step 1 on the windows computer I see a new network icon pop up representing my atrix as an RNDIS networking device
3. From here in windows I right click on the internet connection that is providing the internet to the laptop or computer and select properties from here I click on the advanced tab and check the box that allows "internet connection sharing" there is also a dropdown to pick which networking device you want to share with I select the networking device that represents the atrix and click ok.
4. From here I restart my internet connection and then I right click on the internet connection for the atrix and select properties. On the general tab I select internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click the properties button and change my ip address manually and pick --> 192.168.2.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then click ok and ok again
5. From here I start adb shell (or you can use terminal on your phone if you wish) and type the following
su (to go into root or super user mode)
ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.2.1 dev usb0
setprop net.usb0.dns1 192.168.2.1
setprop net.dns1 192.168.2.1
iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
setprop "net.gprs.http-proxy" ""
after this ping www.yahoo.ca to be sure everything is working properly and if you get a response your good to go.
I'm assuming that everyone who is using these instructions has android sdk installed and there windows machine recognises the adb drivers for there phone as i'm convinced this will work with any android phone not just the atrix and I will test to confirm.
I wrote up these instructions pretty quick and I'll probably shorten them up as there is a few unessesary parts in the script for adb shell but everything will work and you should be able to but this will only allow you to use the internet and browse the internet with your phone this will not allow the market and other internet apps to work if anyone finds a solution to this it would be much appreciated.
Cheers all and ANDROID RULES!!!

Ok since I have done this myself AND IT WORKED!!! What I have done is not a fail.... My atrix did come with tethering software and the app itself is called "Tethering" so sorry for those who do not have it but I will post another message today attaching the APK for this and how to install it. I'm at work and can't do this right now.
Why do people start bashing others before taking the time to ask for help?!?
I've attached the APK to this post you ungrateful whinny blood sucking... )@#$(@[email protected]*)[email protected]*)($*)@($*!!!

Anyone who has contributed to this post in a positive way a big thank you to them.
I previously owned HTC Desire V handset which had an awesome Internet-pass-through feature in it by which i could use the internet from my pc to my mobile(ofcoz i dont have any sort of wifi). This feature is lacking in moto g. i tried it by reverse tethering but it requires root which dont have. today morning when i connected my bsnl router to my android via OTG, it opened up the modem settings page!!!! which means android supports it. but the only question is- how do i dialup my connection from android to connect it to internet???
If you have a router why do you need a wired connection to the phone and Also how exactly did you connect your modem to the phone

exactly what i was meaning to say. you understood my problem correctly :good:
Have you checked into PDAnet? Its an app that runs on your PC and one for the phone and allows you to use the phones data connection on the PC. I used it for a short time to just see if it worked and removed it and can not remember if root was required or not but it should allow faster speeds than using dial-up.
