Connect to ad-hoc network? - HD2 General

How can you connect to ad-hoc network (computer to computer) network on the HTC HD2 device?
I've set up the network on my laptop but the mobile doesn't see it in the wi-fi window. Though I can see the network using another laptop.

Modifying network for PAN profile...

Hello,
I'm using the PAN to connect my personnal computer at my HTC kaiser.
The network is 192.168.0.0/24 between my two devices but I would like to use an other network because 192.168.0.0/24 is already used...
How tell to the kaiser to use an other network ?!
Thanks.
not sure how you connect to your network but
unless you connect directly to the router then
it would not matter as you would be routing passed
the pc with the bluetooth dongle you connect to
and passed that your ip would be that if the of
that pc
I'm using openvpn to bypass my operator proxy and my vpn network is the same as the PAN one.

Connect to Ad Hoc Networks?

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.

Local Wifi Network (Ad-hoc Network)

DHD does not detect ad-hoc networks or local wifi networks. Is there any way to solve this ?
If you're using Windows 7: http://www.connectify.me/

will froyo decect Ad-Hoc network as wireless connection?

Hi guys,
i know in win7 you can set an Ad-Hoc network that will enable you to share an internet connection with other computer.
i don't have a router, if i'll use a USB wireless card as transmitter will my 2.2 vibrant detect such network?
thanks.

[Q] Connecting to internet shared by PC with ethernet cable

Hi everyone,
I have Ideos X5 and I cannot connect to wireless internet shared by my PC. I share my computer's internet from network and sharing center using "Set up a new connection or network". Whatever securiy type I've chosen (none, wep, wpa) I cannot even see the shared connection in the wireless networks list on my phone. I can easly connect to wireless networks shared by access points or wireless modems but as I said I cannot connenct to the wireless connection shared by my PC. My PC uses ethernet cable to connect to internet.
Thanks in advance
Solved
I solved the problem with a third party wireless hotspot software instead of using windows' default wireless internet share method.
Can you explai who you did it?
Just searh for virtual router in google
The windows sharing doesnt create an AP (Acess Point) it creates an ad-hoc network, so in order to connect with you phone you have to use an software that creates an AP... one case of that software is: virtual router
