those are for tethering. what he asked is reverse-tether. I haven't heard of any apps. I think the best you can do is set up your laptop/pc as a wifi hotspot. you can use connectify (windows app).
Finally, we have unlocked bootloader and we can flash kernels capable for tether.
The question is how to do reverse usb tether?

Apparently android cannot see adhoc wifi networks... There is a Wifi router software for windows 7. search the forum.

I read somewhere in here about PDANET free app found on market. I didn't try it yet.
PdaNet app. requires USB cable. It is free if you want to use it to browse unsecured websites. You need to pay if you want to use it for secure websites.
Android 1.6 can be teethed using a wifi app...but that requires that the phone be rooted and a custom Rom installed.
Ok, for those who don't know what root means. It means that you have super user privileges, like a developer.
So far, nobody has been able to root the X10 though there seems to be progress.
USB teethering is not a bad alternative as long as I can share my internet connection on laptop with my x10.
Thanks guys!
Hi,
I connect my laptops to the internet through a university LAN, with static IP adress.
When I wanted to connect my HD2 to the internet while on WinMo, it was pretty easy - i just had to do it through activesync, over USB.
However, on Android I am finding it really hard, because I have a few problems:
1. I can't get any wifi router to work over this LAN (and I know others can't too);
2. Ad-hoc isn't working on android, and I also couldn't get the patches here on xda to work;
3. I've tried Connectify (turn ad-hoc into ap/hotspot) but also it didn't work;
So I am running out of ideas. I have mobile carrier internet access, but of course i have limited bandwidth and trafic, and it would be much nicer to use my laptop's internet access.
Do you suggest any workaround for this situation? Is anyone working on some kind of "reverse tethering" usb solution for the Android, a la ActiveSync? Maybe I should keep trying to get ad-hoc to work?
Thanks for your time and help!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I would like to keep my android build (i feel comfortable with sense) and changing to that build would help me with wifi tethering, but I am looking for something different... unless that build already supports ad-hoc networks. However, ad-hoc is so unpredictable that a different solution altogether would be best.
Luis
Any other ideas on this?

Try bridging your laptops wireless and wired lan connections under windows. That will make your hd2 as if it is connected directly to LAN. (Select both connections with CTRL and right click bridge)

Unfortunately, as I have stated before, I can't connect the HD2 to my laptop via wi-fi, because I can't get ad-hoc to work properly on the HD2. But thanks for your suggestion.

Did you try connectify in Access Point mode? (Connectify supports ad-hoc mode with every wifi chipset and real ap mode with some wifi chipsets)
Check: http://www.connectify.me/docs/supportedcards.html for AP mode compatible wifi chipsets and drivers.
You may get a cheap wifi card or usb wifi that is compatible with connectify ap mode.
Second solution: (Reverse usb tether method)
Another solution would be finding a Android build that has known working usb tether mode such as shubcraft 1.4c rmnet and connecting it to pc then bridging the usb and ethernet over a Linux computer. That will make the usb tether in reverse direction. You need a linux computer or a virtual machine with linux. Difficult but possible.
Follow these steps: http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
Third solution: (Share internet over bluetooth)
You can try this one too: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=1285 and http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=445 You need a bluetooth module with lan profile support on your pc. Should be cheap if not already integrated to your pc.
I haven't tested due to lack of time. Could you provide feedback?

Thanks for taking the time to help me with a thorough, well written reply
Fortunately, I managed to solve my problem with a variation of your first solution
I had tried Connectify before. On my (older) HP laptop, it only provided ad-hoc networking. But on my eee-pc, it was able to work on AP mode. However, I couldn't connect to it from any of my devices, Android, WinMo or even my other laptop (Win 7).
So I did a little more research to check if there were any other apps available that would take advantage of Win7's ability to more or less easily create a hot spot (based on its Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter) and I found this one: Virtual Router.
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
I absolutely recommend it!
It worked flawlessly on my eee-pc and I manage to connect to it my (other) win 7 laptop, a touch HD on winmo, and my touch hd2 on both android and winmo, without a single glitch. So now I am using my LAN's internet access on my HD2 on Android through wifi, without having to use a wifi router or establishing any ad-hoc networks.
So problem solved (for now)!
Thanks for your help anyway. I hope that others may also find this app useful.

Well thank YOU, now me and also the community has a reverse wifi tether solution for Android.
solved
dude...use "mhotspot"
without installing the software....u can create the hotspot..its working great for my "ace"

Hi!
I wonder, is it, and if so how, possible to use an USB connection to get access to the internet with Wildfire (the phone). You know, as instead of the WiFi conn or mobile net.
In simple words; can I use my computer's connection thru USB, to gain internet access for my phone?
And secondly (to some it might seem as a stupid question, but bare with me, PLZ?), is it possible to be connected thru UTP cable, you know from modem to computer's network card adapter, AND THEN to plug a wireless receiver in a computer and use it as a "transponder", o better yet to use it as a WiFi ethernet connection so I could acces the internet with my phone. Some sort of a bridge...? But firstly, is it possible to use the receiver as a transponder in such a way?
Do you know what I mean?
Thank you!
you can usb tether if that's what you're asking.

Never used it, but isn't the usb tether, using your mobile net on Ur pc.
I believe the opposite is being asked.

If you mean tethering your HD2 to your PC and allowing your PC to connection to the internet via your phones internet then just go to the Andriod Market and do a serch for tether apps or internet sharing apps. If your PC has WiFi capabilities just use a hotspot app.
If you mean share your computers internet connection with your HD2, I really don't know it that is possible. But to do it you would have to go into your connections settings on your PC and he k allow other computers and devices to connect to the internet through this computer. It might be in networking. But what is easieast is just vet a WiFi router and use the WiFi apartheid ilities to connect.

Sorry about the spelling I was sleepy when I typed that. The easy way is to get a WiFi router to hook up to your home internet connection and set up a WiFi network at your home. Then you can use your HD2'S WiFi capabilities to connect to your WiFi network while at home. It is really nice because you do not have to be tethered to a computer or a hub with a USB cable. Now to be honest I really don't know if you can share your computers internet connection with your HD2 via your USB cable. If it is possible you will have to check allow other computers and devices to connect to the internet through this computer. This should be in networks you might have to try to set up a home network on your computer to allow your HD2 to connect to the internet via your USB cable. Hope this helps.
I had see an option to share PC's internet connection with phone via USB in motoman MyPhone 4G port for HD2. did not test it tho'

It's possible.
Please use "Reverse USB Tethering" with a kernel which supports USB Tethering.
Hello,
I would like to ask if there is any tethering app which will allow me to share my wifi internet trough phone via usb to my old computer?
I have Cm10 rom but if it will be neccessary I will change it even to stock because its very important for me. Thanks in advance for help.
The process is called reverse tethering. Did a google search and I think this should work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlelan.ReverseTether.Trial&hl=en
Hmm... I don't think you understood me well.
I will explain...
I have wifi internet in my house but i have not got a possibility to connect my router via cable with my computer which doesnt have wifi.
So I would like to use my phone as wifi adapter (via usb) to have internet on my computer.
U sure that this program is good for me?
Did you enebled usb tetherin?
I think it should be the same way if you were connect to 3G, just connect to wifi network and enable the native usb tethering feature.
