Hi All,
I need some help with WIFI. I've set up my pc (connected via ethernet) to share internet via an Ad Hoc WIFI connection. The connection works but I have to manually connect to it every time. How do I make Android treat Ad Hoc networks same as Router based WIFI?
Thanks
I can't answer your question but I can, however, provide you with a possible workaround.
If you're using Windows 7, download and install a free software called Connectify. It turns your PC into a full blown access point. Just used it during a trip to share a hotel ethernet connection and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for replying. I heard about connectify but I use XP.

Hi there
Hope somebody can help me with this...
I ve set up an wireless ad hoc connection between my laptop, which is connected to a wired broadband connection, and my Xperia. When I look for the network, my Xperia finds the ad hoc network and I can connect to it no problem what so ever.
however, the problem then is that I cannot do much more once I m connected to my computer. I cannot find the folders which I specifically made available for network access nor can I surf the internet over the laptops' connection (which I normally should be able to do with an ad hoc connection)
anybody who has tried the same thing and succeeded? help would be appreciated
thanks

I have not done it with my xperia but had this problem with a WM6 device before. The problem is that windows mobile will not get a server assigned ip address and dns server address. You must specify a static ip and dns server, then it will work. And next time you want to connect to another network you must remove the static settings. Pretty annoying.
I got myself a laptop, and I would like to share internet from my pc via phone to my laptop! i know that a solution for this is buying an wifi router, but i'm not interested in this.
my question is how can i make my computer share internet with my phone?
Why don't you search... answer is all around.
If you want to access internet on your pc through your phone.. you can do it by connecting through USB and opting settings>Wireless Control>Mobile network sharing. OR using Wireless tethering on your phone and access it as an AP.
on reverse way if you want to use a wired internet network of your PC by your phone, you can make your laptop a wireless AP by running some wireless router software (connectify is one).
enjoy!!
I have kindle fire and lg optimus one, how can i connect them so that i can share files wirelessly wwithout internet connection?
in file expert from the market is a ftp server included
just connect to the ip of the other one and share over your wifi
Oops - sorry, it's early in the morning. The Fire doesn't have 3G. I use my phone as a hot spot, and installed Frostwire on both devices (available from the Amazon App Store).
B63 - can i use FE directly with just 2 android device or i still need to connect the devices in wifi router?
i do it over wifi router - also with other devices (kf,gtab,2x laptop)
don't think a direct connection is possible with fe
but over tethering with the lg it should work - theroratically
i'm only tethering with laptop at work and connect from kf to the laptop - not the other way
for tethering it depends on the mode your lg can do:
hotspot mode - nothing more needed - kf should find it
adhoc mode - use zt180 adhoc switcher from the market at the kf
Ok thanks for the help
if your question is answered ...
please mark the subject of the topic (edit first post) with [Solved]
B63,
Can you tell me the step by step on how to use the file expert?

Tethering with laptop
[QUOTE=b63;22311667
i'm only tethering with laptop at work and connect from kf to the laptop - not the other way- I need help in that area. My laptop Win7 has a built in modem (not a USB dongle) to access the Internet, besides bluetooth and Wi-fi. I had created an Adhoc connection using WEP. I could never successfully create a hotspot using Bzeek, that is the reason I had to manually create an adhoc network connection. The Adhoc connection is waiting for the user to connect.
adhoc mode - using zt180 adhoc switcher from the market at the kf, I had setup the SSID and WEP security code for Adhoc connection. ZT180 Adhoc connects to laptop, which I can see as connected, but no internet is available in KF. It times out on both ends.
I need your help in resolving the issue.
i'm using "connectify" on my laptop - just google for it
never tried bzeek - connectify works perfekt for me
furthermore i use proxydroid on the kf cause my work laptop is connected to the internet over a proxy - but that should not be necessary for you
Connectify is nice but I hate it since they went paid... there's also VirtualWifiRouter for win7.
But I use Maryfi... it works all of the time and seems less intrusive. Plus my wifes name is Mary.
@B63:
You helped me with flying colors again. Connectify Pro did the job for me effortlessly and I am now able to tether to my laptop if Wi-Fi is not available.
I Have a windows xp sp3 on my labtop and I use a 3g dongle to connect to internet...but I can't figure out how to share my internet over wifi to be enable to search internet on my NST....I created an ad hoc using my labtop dell wireless manager and shared my internet but It seems like my NST can't find the network (despite the fact that my Nokia N82 finds it and connetcts to web) so I used the connectify app to share my internet but that didn't work either...(It may be me who can't configure the software. I don't know) ...seems like The NST can only find the routers and DSL modems not ad hoc networks...do u guys have any suggestions ????
It's possible that it doesn't support adhoc mode. there a virtual access point app for windows floating around, Google it. If your wifi card supports it, enjoy.

If you want to fiddle, try http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Enable_Adhoc_Networking
It's about NC, you might need another wpa_supplicant for NST tho.
mind if I ask you the name of the app ??
