i followed the below step to create a WIFI hot spot from my windows XP. however my Galaxy TAB don't see the network i created but i can see with other devices and computer is there is a trick to it ?
#
Click to open the "Start" menu, then click to open the Control Panel. In the Control Panel, click on "Network Connections."
# 2
Right-click the Ethernet network connection with which the computer accesses the Internet and click "Properties."
# 3
Click on the "Advanced" tab of the "Properties" dialogue box. Click to mark the box next to "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection." Click the "OK" button to close the dialogue box. If a "Local Network" message box pops up with an explanation, click the "Yes" button to proceed.
# 4
Right-click on your wireless connection in "Network Connections." If the connection is disabled, you need to enable it. Right-click again if necessary and choose "Properties" in the right-click menu.
# 5
Select the "Wireless Networks" tab in the "Properties" dialogue box. Click the "Add" button in the "Preferred networks" region of the dialogue. This opens a dialogue box called "Wireless network properties."
# 6
Select the "Association" tab of the "Wireless network properties" dialogue. Type your choice of name for your Wi-Fi network in the "Network name (SSID)" field and check the "This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network" box.
# 7
Ensure that the "The key is provided for me automatically" box at the bottom of the dialogue box remains unchecked.
# 8
Choose "Open" in the "Network Authentication" drop down menu and choose "WEP" in the "Data encryption" drop down menu.
# 9
Type your choice of password in the "Network key" and "Confirm network key" fields.
# 10
Click the "OK" button to save changes and close the "Wireless network properties" dialogue box. Click the "OK" button on the wireless network adapter's "Properties" dialogue box.
Not 100% clear on what you are hoping to achieve. The purpose of the WiFi hotspot function is that the Tab can be used as a WiFi access point, the PCs you connect to the Tab hotspot should be able to see the internet via the Tabs mobile data connection (3G/GPRS). If you achieved this then you had it working correctly. I don't believe there is any functionality intended to let the Tab access data on the PCs connected to its hotspot.
Hey thanks for the reply. I'm sorry i was not clear.
I'm not trying to connect the PC using the Tablet. I'm tryin to coonect the tablet using the PC.
My PC connect to the internet using Wired LAN. i wanna use the the PC WIFI to send my WIRED LAN to the tablet ( Network Sharing )
Thanks again
As standard, Android can't see and won't connect to adhoc networks (which is what your "hotspot" is).
Search these forums for wpa_supplicant.conf, or adhoc, for the solution.

Dave
Thanks a bunch guys. one last question. i found a post that talk about this, and have a patch to download. bu im not sure how to download it into the Tablet, and if it will work on the tablet. would that effect my reguler WIFI if i download it ?

no, you can use both adhoc mode(pc to tablet connection) and infrastructure mode( access point to tablet) if you do the hack.
you need to be rooted and with root explorer installed on you tablet to achieve the trick.
We almost can do the ad hoc patch - but not quite yet - through clockwork recovery - which is still under development. So what other flashing tool can we use?

Omnia, WM 6.1
I have used Activesync but the connection is bad. Sometimes I cannot open some sites, other times - I can open them. Weird...
I am trying something else: I went to Settings - Connections, I added new connection, and under "add new modem connection" -> "select a modem" there is Bluetooth! What is this, can I use my PC as a bluetooth modem?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
Rudegar, thanks for the link, but the following part does not apply to my WM 6.1-based device. Where can I find these things in WM6.1:
# Tap the Bluetooth icon and tap the link saying <u>Bluetooth Manager</u>.
# Tap the starred Bluetooth icon.
# Tap the Join a personal network.
# Select Join a personal network option and tap Next.
# After your Connection Wizard sees your computer, select it and select Finish so that your HTC Creates a shortcut for this connection named Network with '?InsertYourComputersNameHere'. Please note that there is no need for a secure/encrypted connection.
# Double tap or hold and select Connect to the Network with '?InsertYourComputersNameHere' to make a connection with your access point.
# At this point or later, your HTC will ask you if this connection is a Work or Internet connection. I have chosen this as my Work connection.
On my device there is neither "Bluetooth Manager", nor "Join a personal network"
Meanwhile I am trying something else: http://media.snimka.bg/2551/011357944-big.jpg
I went to Settings -> Connections -> Connections, I added new connection, and under "add new modem connection" -> "select a modem" there is Bluetooth! What is this, can I use my PC as a bluetooth modem?
My device is simple smart-phone with windows mobile 6.1 professional operating system. I have a problem with the connection manager and proxy servers. Let me explain my problem.
My application needs to get some date from the Internet. I use for that GRPS connection. But I need to specific WAP connection with PROXY. Below I put all steps which I do to make that kind of connection.
1. "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Connections"
2. Click the "Connections" icon.
3. Click the "Advanced" tab.
4. Push the "Select Networks" button.
5. Push the first from the top "New" button.
6. Enter a name for new connection (for example "mywap").
7. Push the "Modem" tab.
8. Push the "New" button.
9. Enter a name fro the connection (for example "mywapcon").
10. Access point name (for my operator is "wap").
11. Click the "Next" button.
12. Enter a user and password (both "wap").
13. Click the "Finish" button.
14. Click the "Proxy settings" tab.
16. Check the "This network connects to the Internet" box.
17. Check the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" box.
18. Click the "Advanced..." button.
19. Click the "HTTP" item on the list.
20. Enter the "Server" host (for example "proxy.host.eu") and "Port" number (for example "8080").
21. Click "ok" button.
Now, I have a new connection which I can use in my application to connect to the WAP Internet with proxy. Below I put the steps which I make to request for my application about proxy and connection.
1. To get a GUID to my new connection I use the "ConnMgrEnumDestinations" method.
2. This GUID I use to make a request to the connection manager. I use for that the "ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync" method. When the connection occurs the method above returns the handler to the my connection.
3. Now, I try to check about proxy servers to my connection. I'm using for that the "ConnMgrProviderMessage" method and a returned hander.
I read about that a lot of articles but it still don't work correctly. When I call the "ConnMgrProviderMessage" in the step 3, the operating system returns my the "E_NOINTERFACE" error. I don't know why because I defined the proxy server for this GUID connection.
Did you have that kind of problems in your applications ?? Can you help me ??
This is my premiere post on xda.
I don't seem to figure out how to access my network shares through the HD2 filemanager.
Everytime I try to go to Filemanager\Menu\GoTo\Open path\New Path ... and state something like: \\Server\Share and hit Go. I end up with a stopsign.
"It's not possible to connect" I'm then presented with 2 choices.. "Settings" and "Close"
Heading towards settings brings me to "connections", and I probably have something not quite right there.
I have two sections. My PhoneCompany Internet Settings and "My worknetwork". However I'm only able to play with Modem, VPN or Proxies there. Can't really figure out what to do here.
Anyone with the key to success willing to share this divine knowledge?
I can connect to a share using a UNC path over WIFI with no problem. I don't use the inbuilt file manager, I'm using Total Commander.
I shared a folder on my desktop PC (Windows 7) and the put the path (\\PC-Name\Share-Name\), username and password into the LAN settings in TC and it connected right away.
I use it quite a bit to transfer files to/from PC and phone.
Give TC a go. Linky
You don't need Total Commander at all.
To get File manager to connect to shares over Wifi, do this...
Go to the Settings tab, then touch MENU, All Settings
Touch CONNECTIONS
Touch CONNECTIONS
Touch the ADVANCED tab
Touch SELECT NETWORKS
You will see two separate settings, one for "Programs that connect automatically to the Internet" and one for "Programs that connect automatically to a private network".
You will probably see the top one is set up to connect to your service provider's GPRS (in my case it says "Virgin GPRS").
The bottom one is probaby set to "My Work Network". The problem is, "My Work Network" isn't set up to do anything, it's a dummy setting.
So change it to be the same as the top one, again in my case "Virgin GPRS".
Then touch OK, OK, OK, X
Now you can go into File Explorer and connect to your file shares on your PC, using...
MENU, Go To, Open Path, New Path...
Type in \\servername\sharename
and unless your security is set up wrong, it should connect.
Hope this works for everyone.
Incidentally, when you try to connect, you may find it first connects to your service provider, but then it uses the Wifi. Don't panic!
●●[ROOTED][GUIDE]Wifi Reverse teTher-Windows and Ubuntu-Ad hoc Networks●●
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY
I think there is an easier way for windows although I cant test it right now.
In network settingfind option to create new network. Create an ad-hoc network.
In start menu search for "network connection".
In network connections, highlight both the network you just created and the network that your internet comes from.
Right click and select bridge networks.
Shouldn't require doing anything to your phone or even being rooted. As I said I havn't tested this but I don't see why it would not work.
Does anyone know if there is a way to reverse tether over USB?

For USB tethering there are many third party application in play store.
And I have seen in many devices that after creating ad-hoc network also ... the device doesn't gets connected to internet.

Even if the network is bridged to a regular internet network?
I guess you missed attaching the files needed. even though they are included in the link in your signature about the same thread in other forum
File attached
