Your laptop doesnt have wifi?

I asked a similar question sometime ago, please check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772244
The conclusion was: if you want to use your laptop's internet on the HD2 (in some kind of reverse tethering), the best is to use a software like VirtualRouter or Connectify to make an Acess Point from your wifi card that your HD2 can easily connect to. I am sorry, but there's not an easy USB solution like you have for Windows Mobile. I hope one day they to it, though.

You shouldnt need any special extra software. It just might be something that doesnt work in the kernal at the moment.
Native android devices can do it aslong as they are rooted.
Lets not say it isnt possible as that makes android sound gimp

My problem is: in my room..wifi is only enough for my lap ( HD2 can connect the wifi but because the wifi signal too weak...) and i'm using internet in my lap by wifi...so i cant using wifi tethering...hic....any solution??

Try WiFi internet sharing in Windows from your laptop.

Wifi not working

Hi,
I've a Wildfire and a Touch2. I want to share Touch2's internet with Wildfire using WiFiInternetSharing application in Touch2. The problem is that wildfire does not detect the wifi network. I've tested the Touch2 with Iphone as well as my laptop. Both detects Touch2 as wifi router and works successfully but wildfire doesn't even detect it. I've tested wildfire with my office wifi router and it works fine but not with my touch2. Any suggestions please.

Is it due to the touch 2 creating an adhoc network and the wildfire not supporting ad hoc networks. If so you will need a custom rom

Even my HTC wildfire is also having same problem. Can any one suggest a list of appplications which can resolve the above problem.

Can someone help me with wi-fi hotspot

I've read all over the internet of people with MT4G phones being able to connect via the wi-fi hotspot.
I cannot. My computer picks up the hotspot, gets and IP address, and then tells me it cannot connect to the internet. All this in the network control panel. I'm on a MAC.
Worst case I can call and add the 15.00 package and get some trouble shooting then cancel later but I'd rather not have to do that.
Any ideas??
FYI- This happend when stock unrooted and still happening rooted with gorilla sense rom installed.
Thanks in advance....

do u have gorilla newest rom the 2.3 update?
make sure u search for a.rom that has the mac wifi connect working in the.changelog, i beleive its a known.issue...

I have the GS right before that... But as I stated I had this problem before rooting/flashing.
I can connect on any wi-fi direct to the phone, so far.

hmmm.not sure, try the new gorilla sense or check is changelog i think that was one of his fixes.. not sure

Try to Play around with the settings. i was having a hard time connecting via one of the password modes. The computer would detect the network and connect but I want able to do any browsing. Had to try a few different settings before finding one that works.

Anybody have any advice?

I need a little bit more information on your situation.
Does every computer have trouble connecting to the hotspot, or is it just one computer? Can you test it with a few different devices?
On the computer that you have trouble with, try this:
Run --> CMD. When you are in the dos screen, type ipconfig /flushdns
Let me know if that works. If not, answer the question that I posted.

I have also noticed that running some ad blockers will block certain websites from being able to connect when you are using the wireless hot spot. Removing them fixed any problems I had with it.

I had this problem as well. I even.called tmo and added the service for the support, and the did not help.
I wiped and pit a fresh flash of my Rom and it worked fine. Then I restored all my apps w data and it still worked fine.
Then I restored system data and I got the same problem.
So I reflashed and did not restore system data and all is now working..

Dns flush?

Did the dns flush and it still won't connect. Don't think it has anything to do with it. Any other suggestions?

Hi guys. I use WiFi a lot but I have 500MB for free to use now so I tried using it by enabling mobile network and nothing actually happens. Why is this? Is there a problem ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

if you want to use mobile networking instead of wifi, you need do turn wifi off.
if both mobile networking and wifi are enabled, your phone will use wifi.

Thank you for responding. I found the issue. I had WiFi off of course but I had to reboot my phone. Many wildfire users have this problem. Thank you anyway
