Hi there
Hope somebody can help me with this...
I ve set up an wireless ad hoc connection between my laptop, which is connected to a wired broadband connection, and my Xperia. When I look for the network, my Xperia finds the ad hoc network and I can connect to it no problem what so ever.
however, the problem then is that I cannot do much more once I m connected to my computer. I cannot find the folders which I specifically made available for network access nor can I surf the internet over the laptops' connection (which I normally should be able to do with an ad hoc connection)
anybody who has tried the same thing and succeeded? help would be appreciated
thanks

I have not done it with my xperia but had this problem with a WM6 device before. The problem is that windows mobile will not get a server assigned ip address and dns server address. You must specify a static ip and dns server, then it will work. And next time you want to connect to another network you must remove the static settings. Pretty annoying.
Hi All,
I need some help with WIFI. I've set up my pc (connected via ethernet) to share internet via an Ad Hoc WIFI connection. The connection works but I have to manually connect to it every time. How do I make Android treat Ad Hoc networks same as Router based WIFI?
Thanks
I can't answer your question but I can, however, provide you with a possible workaround.
If you're using Windows 7, download and install a free software called Connectify. It turns your PC into a full blown access point. Just used it during a trip to share a hotel ethernet connection and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for replying. I heard about connectify but I use XP.
Hey guys,
I was thinking if there is possibility to share internet connection from my laptop to my HD 2 running Android 2.2. I remember my HD2 when connected to ActiveSync through USB it used laptop's internet.
I also tried to set up an ad-hoc network, HD2 sees it but when I try to connect it says "Disconnected", connecting to other wifi networks is no problem.
My laptop is running Vista64
Any ideas? Thanks for your help, mates!
Hi I have no router with internet connected through ethernet into my laptop which also has wifi.
I successfully made an ad hoc network with my laptop but when I tried to connect my Epic via wifi running SRF 1.2 it could not recognize it.
Any solutions?

Bump, I have the exact same question. I am trying to ad-hoc to my laptop so I can use the boxee remote without a router. I found this thread and am wondering if it would work with my phone without causing any issues

Hi Youcef,
With Ad hoc do you mean Bluetooth? Some games like Sonic 4 Ep 2 and Minecraft p.e. use bluetooth to connect with an other phone without wifi.
hi Benalimarwan
i mean by ad hoc, create wireless Ad-Hoc network on Windows , so you can share internet 3G/4G , but android don't see this network , i don't know why, i have nokia n8 before with symbian, i create ad hoc network with my laptop and i share internet very easy, but now my lg nexus don't work.
