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

I have an Asus Transformer Android tablet, and expected to be able to use WMWiFiRouter to connect to the Internet until I get an Android phone in the next few months.
Only the Transformer can't see or use ad-hoc connection sharing from a phone or anything else for that matter. Bluetooth is greyed out on WMWiFiRouter and isn't even an option on ICS. Android phones share through infrastructure WiFi, not ad-hoc.
There is no host USB port at this time, so those two methods are my only way of getting Internet to the tablet.
Anyone know of a way to get infrastructure WiFi from an Imagio, or turn on the bluetooth connection sharing? PDANet also doesn't have the bluetooth option on this phone.
My HD2 has the Wi-Fi Router App which provides a hotspot for internet connection. I can connect my laptop to it but my TouchPad can't. I understand that the Wi-Fi Router is only for adhoc connections and that's why my laptop can do it. The TouchPad can only connect to a "regular" wifi. My question: Is there any wifi app for the HD2 that would allow a non-adhoc wifi connection? Thanks in advance.

me too, I have HD2 running wmo 6.5, wifi sharing only works with my thinkpad, but not the touchpad. i never got the wifi sharing working when running on android either.
I use the built in WM router program & connect it to other phone devices via bluetooth.
The problème with Touchpad vs Hd2 is that Touchpad can't see Hd2 in bluetooth mode and Touchpad can't see HD2 router cauz in ad hoc mode and not infrastructure
So 2 possibilities
- First Hp open the bluetooth protocol to all bluetooth devices, and let the webos see ad hoc wifi routers
- 2nd maybe an ap will be done in order to let the hd2 creating an infrastucture router link
to be continued
can a500 connect internet with aircard?
how to?
I have kindle fire and lg optimus one, how can i connect them so that i can share files wirelessly wwithout internet connection?
in file expert from the market is a ftp server included
just connect to the ip of the other one and share over your wifi
Oops - sorry, it's early in the morning. The Fire doesn't have 3G. I use my phone as a hot spot, and installed Frostwire on both devices (available from the Amazon App Store).
B63 - can i use FE directly with just 2 android device or i still need to connect the devices in wifi router?
i do it over wifi router - also with other devices (kf,gtab,2x laptop)
don't think a direct connection is possible with fe
but over tethering with the lg it should work - theroratically
i'm only tethering with laptop at work and connect from kf to the laptop - not the other way
for tethering it depends on the mode your lg can do:
hotspot mode - nothing more needed - kf should find it
adhoc mode - use zt180 adhoc switcher from the market at the kf
Ok thanks for the help
if your question is answered ...
please mark the subject of the topic (edit first post) with [Solved]
B63,
Can you tell me the step by step on how to use the file expert?

Tethering with laptop
[QUOTE=b63;22311667
i'm only tethering with laptop at work and connect from kf to the laptop - not the other way- I need help in that area. My laptop Win7 has a built in modem (not a USB dongle) to access the Internet, besides bluetooth and Wi-fi. I had created an Adhoc connection using WEP. I could never successfully create a hotspot using Bzeek, that is the reason I had to manually create an adhoc network connection. The Adhoc connection is waiting for the user to connect.
adhoc mode - using zt180 adhoc switcher from the market at the kf, I had setup the SSID and WEP security code for Adhoc connection. ZT180 Adhoc connects to laptop, which I can see as connected, but no internet is available in KF. It times out on both ends.
I need your help in resolving the issue.
i'm using "connectify" on my laptop - just google for it
never tried bzeek - connectify works perfekt for me
furthermore i use proxydroid on the kf cause my work laptop is connected to the internet over a proxy - but that should not be necessary for you
Connectify is nice but I hate it since they went paid... there's also VirtualWifiRouter for win7.
But I use Maryfi... it works all of the time and seems less intrusive. Plus my wifes name is Mary.
@B63:
You helped me with flying colors again. Connectify Pro did the job for me effortlessly and I am now able to tether to my laptop if Wi-Fi is not available.
