There are some posts regarding this on different forums throughout the internet, but I couldn't point you directly to one - just have a search.
You can supposedly get it to work, but I had no success following the methods given.
Here's something you can try.

Hey all,
i'm running Windows XP on my PC, got a Linksys Wifi Router (model: BEFW11S4) and i'm running my internet through it with no problems.
i can also run other computers through this router to use the net too, but i dont have a clue how to set up a network to share files or printers.
my pc is hardwired by ethernet cable to the router, and another pc is on a wifi dongle. my exec can connect to the router to use the internet, but wont connect to my pc (obviously).
How do i get started????
please, a dummy's guide would be great if anyone could help?? step by step kind of thing??? i know i'm asking a bit of a pathetic request, but hey, out of options.
any help would be much appreciated peoples!!
Pleeeeeeeease!!!!
Can't help as I have the same Problem
I have the same problem, although thus far I have not even been able to connect to the internet.
Somebody out there must be able to give us the 'idiots guide'.
This is for setting up your home network:

Follow the above link - it's the one I used to get started setting up my first network.
Take your time and learn the ins-n-outs of setting it up properly (User permissions, security, etc), so you make sure you share only with those you want to.
Sorry, guys, I haven't got the time to write out all the steps for u now.
To map a shared network drive, I believe the only way is to use a utility such as Resco Explorer (latest version). It's a damned handy little prog, well worth the outlay.
Good luck with it...
So I've been wondering and searches result in nothing, has anyone been able to share the 3G internet via 802.11 wireless on a hermes phone? (I have an 8525)
Sure would be sweet to be able to share the internet via wifi on my phone and play some PSP games online from anywhere That is my main goal.
Anyone crossed over someone trying to do this or know for sure its impossible?
I dont know....I'm just curious.
You sure you used search?
Anyway, here is a link to Wifi Sharing

You da man strika
Yeah i wasnt searching the General Discussion section only the hermes stuff
Unfortunately it will not work on the PSP...computer to phone via wifi is fine because its an adhoc connection. the psp can only do adhoc games via adhoc, no internet or infrastructure games
Oh well...now i can share my phone to laptops LOL
I have a wireless router. its a Zyxel P-661HW-D1. My laptop can connect to it...my PSP can connect to it...my girlfriends IPOD Touch 4 connects to it....but my Ideos X5 will not!!..after days of endless searching the internet it seems that it might be an incompatibility issue. But no one knows for sure. Therefore i decided to try and turn my Laptop into an Access Point to see if my Ideos X5 would connect to that instead. And i can`t figure out how to do that either.....some say android phones cannot work with ad-hoc...but i dont know what that means.
Basically what i wanna know is...is there any way i can get my x5 to connect via zyxel router or laptop?
Or do i need to buy another router?...ive got none others avaliable to do a compatibility test =x

a google search for you...
http://www.google.com/search?q=make...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
just click the link and you will see some ways...
it is simple enough...
hope you have results...
"some say android phones cannot work with ad-hoc" <<< although i don't know something for this....
Yea thanks for the google search...but believe me ive sifted through every tutorial that there possibly is...as well as all the youtube tutorials. It seems easy enough, but to get a smartphone to connect to your laptop AP seems to be another story. But if anyone has successfully managed to get a smartphone to run off a laptop AP , id love to hear what steps you took.
Though as we will see..i dont think anyone will be able to say that they have. Hence proof of the problematic situation i find myself in ^^
Thanks anyway ^^

i don't remember which of the guides i had followed but the previous summer i created a wifi-hotspot with a netbook (with 3g) and at least 3-5 devices where connected simultaneously (other laptops , smartphones) and one of them was mine nokia 5800xm....
so yeah they work and that they are smartphones i think that it doesn't matter...
if it didn't work it might need an extra adjustment that it missed you...
keep trying!

Android will not show Ad-Hoc networks. See Here:
http://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/
Kernel needs to be patched to allow Ad-Hoc connections.

Yes you can. Easily. Google "Connectify"
Connectify only works for windows 7 =x ....ive only got XP =o ....oh well ill have to stick to single player games for now ^^. Thanks.
Try Virtual Router Manager but I think that what you want just works in windows 7 because it needs a service that exists only on win7/win2008.
For about 60usd you should be able to get a tp-link 1043 which is one of the best routers to buy if you do not care for gigabit-wan and for 5Ghz (I suppose you do not care).
I know, you still need to have the money for that, I am just providing an alternative solution for your problem.
Hi, is possible to have internet connection on this phone via usb or bluetooth? if yes, please give me tutorial please, i dont want useless post here, thx
... i am not a pro but...
Can you provide us some more info...
I mean, you only have to do this if your wifi are not working or you must not use wifi where you live...
The main idea is to get internet to your pc and then to your phone or the opposite.
The way, i think, doesn't mater, usb, bluetooth, wifi.
Anyway,propably your pc dont have wifito make it a "hot spot" so, everyone talks about giving and not getting from phone. I have to say that all these are for rooted phones and usualy for 2.2+ versions.
First of all i have PdaNet and this give internet to your pc from your phone.
Here is what i found:
1.Propably useless
2.Maybe for hot spot
3.Hard but may work(not tested by me)
Good luck...
Not many try this because is a little ... not usefull,
pc<--biger screen
want download apps--->there are other ways from pc.
I think he means the other way around.
...i posted about having internet on your pc and provide connection to your phone... i just mention that PdaNet dont do it, because there are some guys that suggest it...
Hello everyone, hope you're enjoying the summer. I've been having problems with my wifi hotspot I can't visit any websites but I got access to Skype and Steam, that's the problem I can talk to people on Skype but I can't visit any websites, I tried a lot of different websites, nothing worked. If you have any help at all, then reply, I'm willing to do a lot of stuff to fix it. Hope someone can share their knowledge and help me out, it's okay if you can't answer me, I don't blame you.
Enjoy your summer, or winter, depending on where you live.

Bump, still haven't figured out the problem. I tried some stuff but it still doesn't work
I have a similar problem. HTC Desire with a custom Android 4.something. There is internet connection, but when hotspot is activated, a computer can connect to it, but can't connect to the internet. Says "no internet access". The computer is a Mac, but I don't think that matters. So, Desire is connected to the internet, computer is connected to Desire, but computer is not connected to the internet. The network is Ortega D. The problem is that it's my brother's problem and he's in Germany, and has very limited accessibility with that phone.
If you have some tricks I can try, I'd be thankful.
