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!!

and have that do the routing to it's wired network
How configure ad-hoc wifi network on pocket pc
How configure ad-hoc wifi network on pocket pc for using internet connection on desktop pc?
thanks
dont know of any software which makes pdas act the role as internet router
but boy have many people asked about it maybe it will be made sooner or later so
far only way i know of is bluetooth or usb where the pda dont act as router but as modem for the pc
Connection through destop pc
I have 2 different pda,
wizard and bluangel.
I need to connect the pda to internet through desktop pc.
This is the correct question.
connect to the pc with adhoc wifi network
and have the pc route adhoc wifi traffic to it's internet connection
it's really more of a general pc network thing then a pocketpc thing
as what needs to be don to make it work is the same thing as if the pda was a laptop or another pc
Yes But
Thanks
But I need basically information on this, do you know where I can found it?
bye

Hi, I got a laptop without a wireless card for internet connection. So I've been using my HD2 as a USB wireless device, which gives me internet everywhere. THat very nice, and it works extremely well, however I got a question. WHen at home and at work I would like to connect to the wireless router, and not to my mobile internet, is that possible?
Because even tho i connect without problem to my own router at home, I cant really make my HD2 use that for my computer. Is it even possible?
nope... and that is the whole purpose of a wireless card, to pick up wifi signals from a router
It is possible.
Use ICS Control:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377047
Setup should be as follows:
public interface: BCMSDDHD1
private interface: RNDISFN1
Connect your HD2 to WiFi network, click "Start ICS" and plug the cable in to your PC. Should work If you have XP, you should kill Active Sync process first.
Thank you, however I'm not sure that I do everything correctly.
There's quite a lot of settings in that pieve of software, is all I have to edit really the public and private interface drop down boxes? Nothing else?
And when connection to wifi, shall i then just minimize ICS controls, go to phone settings and connect to wifi there?
Thank you
What you want is for your phone to connect to the internet through wireless connection, not your phone's data/internet connection?
If so, then it's definitely possible. Not only at home and work, but also at many wifi spots throughout the world. How you go about it depends on some things.
Does your home and/or work wireless router connect straight to the internet (such as a connection from the wireless router to a cable modem, etc.) ? If so, you only need to know how to connect with the wireless router and your phone should default to that connection for internet when your phone's wifi is turned on. You can always turn data connection off when you turn wifi on to make sure it goes through wifi.
If your wireless router does not connect directly to the internet but one of the computers on the router's network does, then you'll have to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on that internet enabled computer as posted about above.
I want my phone connected to the wifi router, simple yes. However, then I want my phone to share the internet from the router, with a computer connected to the phone via usb cable.
So my phone will actually work as a wireless usb device, connecting to a wifi router.
WMWiFi Router provides following options on the phone:
1)3G converting to WiFi
2)3G converting to USB
3)3G converting to BlueTooth
4)WiFi converting to USB
5)USB converting to WiFi
I have a laptop connected to hotel internet via ethernet cable (Samsung Q330). I'd like to tether my Desire Z to it to share the internet connection (via either wireless or USB).
When I connect the phone to the laptop via USB, and select Internet Passtrough mode, the phone cannot connect to the internet.
In the Network sharing settings on the laptop, ICS settings I've checked the "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" box.
What else do I need to do to share the laptop's internet connection with the phone?
Get rid of all of that and install these (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ERN22YCO) drivers.
and enable tethering on your phone via settings>wireless and networks>tethering & portable hotspot
viola!

That looks like a way of sharing the phone's internet connection with laptop -it's the reverse that I want to do (i.e. use the laptop's connection on the phone). Have I misunderstood?

Setup a connection in your win 7 and hook up your phone to that particular network, similar to vpn, where you can connect a handheld to the connection and that connection routes you to internet.

In principle that's what I'm trying to do, but it's the specifics of how to set up the connection in Windows 7 that I was struggling with. Could anyone offer specific advice on what settings are required?
Create an Ad-Hock. This would be pushing your labtop connection out of its WiFi so that your phone can hook up to it.
Open Network and Sharing Center > Setup a new connection or network > Setup a wireless ad hoc
Make the name and security... Bla Bla Bla
U can connect your phone to it now.
Next go back to Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings
Double Click on "Local Area Connections" (Your Ethernet Adapter Properties) > Sharing (Tab)
[Check] Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection
Think thats it. Been awhile and im providing this info off the top of my head.
Also if you say want to send your wireless net to your ethernet:
Skip the adhoc part and just go to Adapter settings, pick wireless and enable sharing.
OK I have simple newbie question, is it possible to tether the Nook Color to a PC and use pc's network? Reason behind this is my wireless router is half way out, wired works but wireless doesn't (All wireless is out) and Att won't be out till tomorrow to fix. So I was thinking if it's possible to tether like you do on a phone but with a PC and use PC's network. I can tether it my phone just fine, but at the house, we have very low signal, so it's really not an option. Thanks
Derek
It sounds like your PC is connected to the network with cat5, ethernet cable right since the wireless is wonkey? Provided your PC has a wireless network card you should be able togo into the network setting and turn your PC into a wireless adhoc network that you can attach the nook to.
Unfortunately the fact you need to rely on your service provider to get a wireless network working in your household means you probably won't be able to do that without some help. This is not a dig, it's just an observation. Everyone has different skills at different things.
But can't you just go out and buy a cheap wireless router and connect it to your service providers router with an ethernet cable, just like you are doing with your PC. The instructions are pretty simply for making it password protected and all.
I just realized my post might not be all that helpful, but to answer your question the answer is yes if your PC has a wireless card.
Is it possible to USB tether a phone to a portable WiFi router and share the phone data through WiFi?
Searched and found nothing.
I don't think so
Hello,
there is an app that share internet via usb to phone, try to activate access point but i'm not sure that it will work, because the internet shared by usb will not be detected by system.
