Pardon me because this isn't entirely a Wizard specific questions although I am able to replicate the problem with my Cingular 8125 (new ROM) 100% of the time.
I'm not a stupid person. I've setup numerous wireless networks for corporations and home users. I always use WEP or WPA and never unencrypted (no) security.
In most situations, the wireless router does NOT supply the DHCP to the clients. It usually comes from another DHCP server on the same LAN segment. Typically, this is a Windows server although it could be a DHCP-assigning device, such as a Cisco router.
PCs have no trouble seeing the wireless network and connecting to it and getting addresses assigned to them. For a while, I couldn't do this on WPA security but upgrading firmware and software on the laptops (usually Dell) rectified this.
With my Wizard, both old and new ROMs, I can SEE the wireless networks and connect to them but I can NEVER get an IP address. It tries and tries and fails and fails and eventually gives up. (Yes, the Cingular proxy is turned off)
Yet, at the airport or other public places with free wireless, I have no problems connecting my Wizard to the access point and surfing away. Thus, I know its not (entirely) a Wizard issue. Of course, these public access points aren't encrypted which could be one of the reasons but I doubt its the only one.
As a test, I just built a new wireless router with a SSID (other than "default") and security turned on (WPA) and let the router act as the DHCP server. Wizard connected in seconds and was surfing away. So the obvious next question is: why doesn't this work when the wireless router ISN'T the DHCP server? Other machines (laptops and such) have no problem connecting to one wireless router and getting a DHCP address from another box yet my Wizard cannot.
I've tested this with D-Link and Belkin wireless routers (consumer-grade).
I've seen other people post that they cannot get their wireless to work on their Wizard and while the fix may not be on the side of the Wizard, I think others may be in the same boat I'm in so I'm hoping that maybe we can compare enough stories to narrow this down so that we CAN use our Wizards wirelessly!

Confusing...
maybe you should try assign a fix ip to your pocket's wifi adapter and see if it would work. or just let the wlan security turn OFF on your access point to see what would happen.
i guess that the network protocol stack is slightly different between a PC and a PPC, which limit the DHCP request route.
I have just purchased the Wizard, aka o2 XDA Mini S, and use it with my Belkin Wireless Access Point (WPA-TKIP Enabled, DHCP & NAT disabled) and Cisco ADSL Router (DHCP Server) without any problems.
I have assigned the Belkin Wireless Access Point a fixed IP address however, but I don't think this would make a difference.
The other thing I found was that the Wizard would not connect correctly to the Belkin using WPA with AES encryption, but switching it to WPA with TKIP works flawlessly.
Well, I suppose its encouraging that others with the same wi-fi routers are getting this to work but its discouraging that I'm having so much trouble!
Fixed IP does work (therefore, its unlikely a Wizard-only problem) but obviously a fixed IP doesn't let me roam from one hotspot (home) to another (work) very easily.
Haven't tried it sans-security yet although that might just prove a point, rather than be a perminant solution. I have tried WPA-PSK and WEP with the same (negative) results.
I personally have found that unless I change the power settings for the WiFi adapter to full power, its hit or miss.
Never have a problem maing connections, geting leases, etc with it there.
YMMV though

prob irrelevent
i found that before i active sync'd. the wireless monitor on my wizard showed a strong signal from the router. then after it synced, it picked up an IP from the servers dhcp fine.
also for lightweight simple security i use mac address filtering on the AP
The strangest thing I have even experienced, and perhaps can save you time and headache.
** Summary (for those not wanting to read the whole story, but just the fix)
If your HD2 Android can connect to your home WiFi but cannot access Internet, check if your WiFi network uses a 192.168.20.x IP subnet address. The HD2 Android's USB port uses the same subnet, causing a conflict. If you change your home WiFi to use any other subnet, it will work fine.
** The Long Story
Been reading and admiring all the Android developments in XDA-Developers for some time, finally decided it was time to give it a try. Picked one of the more popular and stable MDJ Froyo (Desire HD) for SD and loved it.
Problem is couldn't use the Internet via WiFi from my home. Internet via GPRS works fine, Internet via USB/PC works fine, just not WiFi. The connection to WiFi is successful, picks up a DHCP IP address just fine, but no Internet.
Oh well, perhaps there is a WiFi bug in HD2 Android not reported so never mind.
Wait! On a business trip, when HD2 Android connecting to the hotel's WiFi, Internet works fine! Subsequently in many other places WiFi works also flawlessly.
Must be the WiFi router at home. Not too surprising as I don't use much wireless but wired all my other computers (including notebook PCs), it is faster anyways.
So went back and tested WiFi on a notebook PC (prior to that upgraded the WiFi router's firmware), PC connects and works, but HD2 Android still not. Tried all kinds of WiFi and encryption combination (BGN, BG, G only, WPA2, WPA, WEP), just nothing works for HD2 Android. >> Conclusion: not the WiFi router at home, just HD2 Android working with this particular WiFi router.
Finally (but forgot what app it was), I saw the USB port binding to 192.168.20.x subnet, exactly the same as my LAN subnet in the WiFi router.
Bingo, changed the LAN subnet to something else (really anything is fine because it is inside a NAT so not an issue getting out to the Internet) and HD2 Android works like a charm.
Hope this helps.
sorry, can you explain more where to change in the router settings? i can't find anything to change in my wireless settings
Look up the LAN (local area network setting) in your router, where the IP address for most WiFi router is set to use 192.168.0.1
In my case the WiFi router is set to use 192.168.20.1 (and DHCP to pass out 192.168.20.x IP addresses).
By changing the IP address of the router, most router automatically change the DHCP assignment to corresponding subnet, say from 192.168.20.1 to 192.168.x.1
x can be any of 0 to 255, just not 20 for my case or it causes conflict with HD2 Android.
Hi Dear friend , And Thanks for sharing experiences.
I have the same problem , but my router's setting is :
IP Address : 192.168.1.1
and my Starting IP Address : 192.168.1.100
IP Pool Count : 101
DHCP : Enabled
NAT : Enabled
Default Route : YES
but no webpage loaded , the weather not work . but the meebo messenger
with my yahoo ID just worked .
so how can i fix it ?
tnx
I notice the conflict (with my 192.168.2.x) when I checked the HD2 IP addresses (after connecting to the WiFi). When I see the USB port bound to 192.168.2.x I know the two just conflict with each other.
If something (meebo messenger?) works but not others... could it be your HD2 not getting name resolution (DNS ?). Say if you try opening this do you get the Google page:
http://74.125.153.104/
** This is Google's page without the need to resolve via DNS.

hi my friend. I tested it with IP but nothing changed.
but some of the WebSites with SubDomain Loaded. like : http://2.farsihiphop.com
and can u tell me how can I know about the port nimber . like USB port.
i think my Android's Kernels have been changes. maybe i'll can find something like this (equal IP address)
thanks.
I have following problem : At my university i have hidden Wifi network, locked with password.. But, ofcourse, we cracked their password, and now we can use their WiFi.. But i cant use it.. On WM i could use it .. One more thing to mention, there is a proxy u need to setup before u can go on internet trough that Wifi network.. but thats not my concerne yet.. I cant get connected to that Wifi.. I make new conn, with password and other settings, and it keep saying : Connecting... Disconnected...
Any ideas to help me ?
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem. I solved it by updating the radio to version 2.14.50.2. I think this version works best.
For me 2.15.50.14 works, too...
I've run into Wifi connection issues with a particular Wifi network. I've read thread after thread and tried all the usual procedures but no luck so far...
SGN3
EE UK network
Not rooted, stock rom
Zerolemon 10000mAh battery
BT Wifi network
Basic BT Wifi router.
The SGN3 connects to other wireless networks just not this one. Other devices connected include:
2 x ipads
3 x I phones
1 x Google nexus
1 x Alienware Dell M18 laptop w Windows
1 x BT broadband TV on demand box
Now i have tried switching off half of these other devices and then rebooting the Wifi but still the SGN3 won't connect...
Authentication Error. ..
I'm loathe to attempt to issue fixed ip addresses as the BT TV Box won't allow it and it's not my network as we are currently staying with relatives between a house move. It is infuriating as being a basement flat, I can't get the mobile data network.
Any ideas that don't involve static ip?
FYI
Other devices added to the network have no issues.

try fiddling around with the security in the wireless section in the router. Some old 802.11n chips (on routers) that do not have 5ghz have problems with newer devices.
Authentication error sounds like a bad password or Auth method.

Another problem that I have seen in some WiFi routers is a sort of "confusion" over the encryption method - in theory WPA2 should be able to use both the older TKIP and the newer and more standard AES, but for some reason the router 'confuses' the two and you must force a specific one of them (not necessarily the same on all models) inside the router - experiment with both but I have seen most often things being fixed by forcing WPA2+AES.

Looks like configuration related issues.
# In your router if you’re using static IP did you enabled DHCP?
# If DHCP enabled does it has range of IP which can fulfill all devices? Like if you have 10 device your DHCP IP range should be at least 10 or above. From 100 to 110 or 110+ etc
# If using static IP you must use Address Reservation for each device with their mac address otherwise when all device reconnect router cant assign IP for each. When all device are connected using Static IP try connecting the Note 3 > when asking authenticate password > put pass > check mark advance setting > check your router for which IP is free, which you want to assign for note 3 > on note 3 under advance setting choose static IP (its DHCP by default) > put the same IP and save. If this connect check your router and take the mac address of note 3 and assign a Address Reservation for the note 3 mac with the same IP.
# If its showing Authentication Error then definitely its password related issue. Use WPA2/PSK and AES encryption (if other device supports). When connecting it shows obtaining IP address. If no IP free, it will keep showing that.
# while doing this turn off mobile data, after all done you can turn it on. However mobile data isn’t an issue for this.
Thanks all it was a channel issue. The router kept shifting channel. Software update has solved it.

I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910F) with android 4.4.4 (Kitkat). I had issues connecting to internet over Wifi. Internet connectivity drops and when a browser is opened the webpages do not load and give 'proxy server error' or similar wording. It can be intermittent but sometimes needed restart of device or switching to mobile network to fix it. When I go to settings - Wifi - long press my wifi network - modify network config - tick show advanced options - the proxy is set to manual with proxy host name and proxy port fields filled. When I set the Proxy to None and save the internet connectivity is restored. However, the problem recurred and when I check the settings the proxy is set to manual again automatically! In my case this issue is due to Kaspersky Internet Security. I was running Kaspersky Internet Security 11.3 and after upgrading it to 11.8.0.130 (current latest) the issue has resolved. When proxy setting is set to none it no longer automatically resets to manual. After KIS update there have been no proxy server error when connecting to the internet.
I have a galaxy note 8 and have had unlimited Hotspot for over 3 years now, my wife changed our plan & now I only have 30 gigs a month and then it slows to 128kbs! I have been using it to stream since I cut the cord with our cable company, needless to say I can't stream anything at 128kbs... My question, is there a workaround or solution to solve this issue? I have unlimited data through att and I'm using a unrooted note 8 & trying to stream or screen mirror to a Nvidia shield either through my Hotspot or USB tethering etc... I have tried a few apps from the playstore to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.
I disabled LTE and use 3G on T-Mobile network. Set phone to WCDMA preferred. I have only achieved upto 10-20MBs speed but way better than the throttled speed on their monitored LTE bands. I used 82GB on one of my phones in one month. I switched to Suddenlink finally a few months ago. Maybe this info will help you.
I can't figure out how to trick AT&T into letting me do hotspot on my rooted Pixel 4 XL with root. Worked no problem on Android 10, but lal my hacks have fallen to the wayside after the upgrade.

Same issue in my pixel 2xl. Build.prop mods used to work great until Android 11. The hotspot still connects but no internet is available you the connected device. I'll keep looking to see if I can get it working.
Look for an application called "VPN Hotspot." It allows you to send the hotspot over some sort of fake vpn, or use your real one as well. It's not entirely seamless but there is a monitor mode that you can enable after every boot that will do the vpn trick anytime you turn on native tethering. If works around the aforementioned no-internet problems.

Tethering is sharing your internet connection (through WiFi, bluetooth or usb) from one device with another device. A hotspot is just a WiFi transmission that you can connect to for internet service.
The most common way to tether is to create a WiFi hotspot on your phone and connect another device to it.

Pixel 4 XL, AT&T(no hotspot plan,) and Google Fi(no need for this app on this SIM)
- Rooted with Magisk Canary.
- Disabled IPv6.
- Enabled Tethering hardware acceleration.
- Enabled Repeater safe mode.
- Network status monitor mode: Netlink monitor with root.
It's still a bit annoying that this cannot be started as a service when the phone boots up, but based on all the comments from the dev, that's not on the roadmap. I just use the quicksetting toggle. I also use Tasker to alert when my tether is not properly running. I could ghetto-rig Tasker to start it, but haven't decided whether or not it's worth the frustration. Any time you do things with clicks instead of API, it gets messy.
AT&T does not have any starter plan for hotspot. Verizon has unlimited hotspot plan.
When you have used your data. You have speed limit. And only new plan can change speed.
Best is search near by public network. Or try to find Wi-Fi password. There are many free internet public network available. But keep good anti virus and firewall on when using public network.
finally after buying unlocked phones from directly from samsung AT&T no longer allows native tethering.
After the last samsung update I can no longer use native tethering, it scans for something in the systems and comes back saying my plan doesn't support tethering,
this after tethering just before the update go figure
I just had this happen on my note 9 (unlocked), i think it was the latest patch update as well. It looks it applying at&t updates to my non-at&t phone... So annoying.
Edit: Used odin to flash back to FUB1, i think it was FUD2 where it start checking provision/tether. FU ATT
Recently, I sent up my laptop with VirtualBox, a Virtual Machine Manager. I had issues getting my VM clients to function through the Windows Defender Firewall. I solved this by creating an advanced custom outbound rule with address range SCOPE which allowed the VirtualBox clients through the firewall on the Private Network where the VirtualBox clients were configured to use a bridged adapter mapped to the wireless adapter for the laptop. This might provide some insight to how the mobile phones Private Network is setup and controlled by the telecom provider.
My Problem: The Microsoft Windows Defender Private Network is blocking VM applications like Android Studio from reaching the internet through a bridged adapter, and maybe a NAT adapter too.
Solution: The following outbound rule fixes the problem allowing Virtual Machine clients access to the internet.
Windows Defender - Firewall using New Custom Outbound Rule
ORACLE VirtualBox 6.1 and Virtual Machine IPs
Add two Private Network address ranges to SCOPE
Add Both Ranges to both Local and Remote Scope
192.168.43.1 to 192.168.43.254 => DHCP Implementation with Wi-Fi Tethering
192.168.42.1 to 192.168.42.254 => DHCP Implementation with USB Tethering
* You might be able to restrict the Remote Scope range to just those IP Addresses used by the clients, especially Virtual Machine clients.
NOTES:
1.) DHCP Implementation with a Bluetooth connection is not addressed here.
2.) As you can see, I excluded the following IP addresses in each Class C IP Address Range.
192.168.42.0, 192.168.42.255 <-- DO NOT USE for USB Tethering
192.168.43.0, 192.168.43.255 <-- DO NOT USE for Wireless Tethering
192.168.x.0 is a reserved Class C base address
192.168.x.255 is a reserved Class C broadcast address
3.) For those Android versions before Android 9 which also supported built-in tethering in the OS, the Default Gateway was fixed:
192.168.43.1 => DHCP Implementation with Wi-Fi Tethering
192.168.42.1 => DHCP Implementation with USB Tethering
I do not know how a DHCP Implementation works with Bluetooth
4.) For the Android 9, the Default Gateway changes dynamically every time tethering is disabled and re-enabled, a possible security feature, maybe anti-hacking feature. I found this documented, but I also have experienced this outcome with the Razer Phone 2 running with Android 9. So, I wondered why this change was made from a Static Fixed IP for the Default Gateway on a Private Network as mentioned in note item 3.
5. I am using Wi-Fi tethering, so my Wireless Network Connection 2, Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN Wireless Adapter shows 192.168.43.XXX with ipconfig in Windows 10 which is a DHCP assigned Class C Private Network Address. You can see the Default Gateway address below as 192.168.43.YYY

Questions I began to ask myself:
1. Can I disable the DHCP server on my Android 9 smartphone? If you can disable DHCP by disabling a flag somewhere, then how do you manually establish a new static Gateway address to link to the external Public Network IP on the smartphone?
2. Can I set up and use static IP address ranges to connect my host and VM clients to the mobile hotspot? -- I do not think so because the telecom providers want to know when you are tethering which may be money driven on certain mobile smartphone plans.
3. Does Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 allow the ability to set static addresses on the device?
--Windows 10 - Yes.
--Ubuntu VM - Yes, both using the UI or in Terminal mode. Go to Settings | Network in the UI. In Terminal mode, there are different approaches to configuring static IP addresses.
--Supposedly, using Static IP Addresses improves the start up performance of your Host and VM operating systems.
4. Can I set a Private Network Static IP address on Windows 10 as host and Ubuntu 20.04 as VM and leave the Gateway address blank? Will a blank Gateway address then use the Default Gateway established by the DHCP server?
I watched a video which described how to set up Static IP Addresses on Host and VM client devices, but that might have applied only to Android versions before Android 9 before the Default Gateway address was set or made fixed by the Android OS for Android OS versions before Android 9. If the VM client gateway addresses are now part of a closed IP stack or fixed address range, I think you can set a fixed client IP address in Ubuntu v20.04 running as a virtual machine with VirtualBox v6.1.
5. If your smartphone is Android 9 and earlier, it may be possible to change the Private Network IP Address Range dynamically assigned by the smartphones DHCP server. Does this block the telecom provider from detecting whether tethering is being used? -- I think the answer may be yes. Does it block the telecom provider from detecting the amount of data transmitted using the built-in tethering? -- I think the answer may be yes.
6. Can other VPN apps be loaded on Android devices and not use the build-in tethering function for VPN Wireless connectivity?
--I have a Zte Grand X Max Plus running Android 4.4 (KitKat). I used a third-party application for a VPN wireless connection which turned my mobile phone into a mobile hotspot. This mobile phone did not have any build-in tethering function. The telecom provider may be able to detect these third-party VPN Wireless applications, maybe block them, possibly even remove those apps from your mobile phone.
7. Does the Android 9 smartphone using the DHCP server cache the last used client IP addresses for the client devices and attempt to reissue them again?
--I read some documentation that seemed to indicate this. I also see that happening when I shutdown and restart my Virtual Machines. I do not know if there is some session control or expiration of these dynamically assigned IP Addresses.
8. Can I change the default hotspot DHCP IP address range on Android? -- See Reference #2 item below.
--It appears that this may be possible with Android smartphones versions 9 and earlier. Android 10 and Android 11 may have moved to using a separate ROM Private Network adapter that will not allow the ability to change the default IP Address Range. And it is also unclear whether you can assign static addresses to client devices on Android version 10 and 11 within the DHCP authorized address range. If the client address has already been assigned dynamically at least once, you might be able to change that client device to using that address as a Static IP Address. What you do not want is the DHCP server attempting to assign an IP address to a client device when that IP address is already being used by another device; I would hope that the system is smart enough to avoid this IP collision.
9. Can changing default hotspot DHCP IP address range on Android by-pass any throttling by the telecom provider and allow greater access to unlimited data? This is possible, maybe even likely the case with older Android smartphones. Why else are people trying to figure this VPN stuff out? Why are the telecom companies moving to using ROM chips as network adapters, more specifically tethering network adapters?
-- It is all about the money for tethering services, I think. Telecom companies or the government wants to control how you use your data or more easily monitor or filter your IP traffic. They want to segment the type of data used to standard smartphone data and track premium tethering data. Will someone discover a hack around these ROM network chips for Android 10 and Android 11? Who knows.
10. If the default hotspot DHCP IP address range on Android could be changed/altered by the consumer and the DHCP server disabled, how do we get connect the dynamically public assigned IPv4 Address from the from the Android smartphone to our custom Private Network (VPN) and link to the established Gateway address?
--You can accomplish this behavior with a router at home, establishing a bridge between the Android smartphone and the home router. And how do we do this without a router? You can establish an alternate (sub)network configuration in Windows 10, and then have Windows 10 share their connection with other devices. But these paths likely do not bypass the throttling limitations set by the telecom provider. But, these options might allow you to connect more devices with NAT to the internet than the telecom might normally permit directly to the phone. Not sure, but I am just making an educated guess here.
I hope that some of my research and related experience helps. I think reference #2 below might be the best shot at trying to bypass throttling limitations with the telecom provider. The other option is to activate and older phone with a telecom provider that gives you more options as a mobile hotspot using an older mobile OS on the phone.

I use my phone as an extended display with x11vnc, which works as intended. The only issue is, that I have to change the IP address on the VNC client on my phone, very often. Because of dynamic DH...

How can I permanently change my hotspot tethering IP address?
IP address is 192.168.43.1 by default and there is no option to change it permanently. Is it possible to change it without root access? My phone is Huawei Android 5.1.

Private Address Ranges
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has assigned several address ranges to be used by private networks.

Handling Outbound Connections
I ran across a related or similar link today; my same solution works for this issue. For me this was simply a Microsoft Windows Firewall issue for VirtualBox and Ubuntu as a VM.
Virtual box is not working on windows 10
I have installed virtual box But when I tried to run it. It shows me an error as: I have been trying everything for whole day. Like there are answers related to this question as: VT-x is not avai...

1. Go to Microsoft Windows Defender
2. Create an Outbound Custom Rule
3. Create the following Scope and Address Range
192.168.43.1-192.168.43.254 - Set the following address range.
192.168.43.X - Address of Ubuntu VM on VirtualBox
4. Provide a name for the new custom rule such as VirtualBox (or "VirtualBox Outbound Rule").
Alternatively, the Custom Outbound Rule allows you to pick programs that you want to allow through the firewall.
1. Go to Microsoft Windows Defender
2. Select "This program path:"
3. Go to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
4. This is where I am stuck on which process to pick to allow through the firewall. I see applications such as "VirtualBox.exe", "VirtualBoxVM.exe", "VBoxManage.exe", "VBoxSVC.exe", "VBoxNetNAT.exe", "VBoxNetDHCP.exe" and others. For this reason, I took the IP path which appeared easier to solve. If I just allow the IP Address for a client or IP Addresses for all clients through the firewall, I do not have to worry about what VirtualBox executables or applications I have to give firewall permissions to. I someone knows the answer, I would love to know that answer.
Handling Inbound Connections (Optional)
I am thinking here about use of inbound connection rules, when they could be used, and how an Inbound Rule would be setup for smartphone which are tethering to the internet.
1. You might need an Inbound Rule if a connection is going to initiate or come inbound via the host computer IP to the VirtualBox virtual machine. Does the firewall have to be configured with an inbound rule for the host operating system to make an inbound connection to the Virtual Machine and maybe to a specific application with a port number?
2. You might also need an inbound rule if other computers exist the same private network.
a.) INBOUND CONNECTION from GUEST-REMOTE-CLIENT OS to VIRTUAL MACHINE OS, USING ONE SMARTPHONE as WI-FI HUB: One way this can happen is if a tethered smartphone itself acts as a Wi-Fi hub to more than one computer on the same private network. I have done this with work associates at a coffee shop on a rare occasions. I think that smartphone manufacturers and/or telecom providers allow a tethered smartphone device to possibly have up to five inbound client network connections to a smartphone serving as a Wi-Fi hub.
b.) INBOUND CONNECTION from ONE CLIENT LAPTOP to VIRTUAL MACHINE on ANOTHER CLIENT LAPTOP, USING A PHYSICAL HUB (WIRED | WIRELESS): I have also exposed my laptop to a traveling mini-hub configured with a shared private network subnet so that my friends could connect to the internet using fixed wire ethernet cables I also had with me. With a physical mini-hub supporting Network Address Translation (NAT), the five-connection limitation does not exist; the number of ports on your hub is your limitation. The physical hub using NAT makes all hub connections appear as one with my laptop, all sharing my laptop connection which is tethering to my smartphone and the internet. I did this once or twice when I did not have tethering technology built into my smartphone which my Razer Phone 2 does have. If five devices can access the internet and the same private network through a tethered smartphone acting as a Wi-Fi hub, they could be networked optionally to be able to see other computers on the same private network. And, If that is true, then another laptop could connect to a VM running on another friend's laptop. Software developers working together might want to share a VM, for example, that has an OS with a database server running on the virtual machine.
c.) INBOUND CONNECTION from ONE LAPTOP with PUBLIC LAPTOP IP routed to a VIRTUAL MACHINE on ANOTHER LAPTOP with PUBLIC LAPTOP IP: I am not sure if two people can share a VM running a server operating system where two people would each use their own smartphones and one of the parties would access a friends VM through a public IP address. The user with the VM would have to share their PUBLIC IP address information and tethering password maybe for access as a GUEST USER. The external remote user 's laptop connection would have to be routed to the local user's Guest VM OS Ubuntu on a VM manager like VirtualBox, possibly then also to an application like an ORACLE database having the appropriate port number allowing for an inbound connection to an application. Can tethered remote smartphones route a friend's laptop with an external IP address, forwarding an inbound connection to a VM Guest OS? Can you also then route to a port restricting use to a certain application running on a server like a SQL Server database.
Notes: McAfee Security for T-Mobile has an option called "Sharing your device? Try Guest Mode". This app has two options called "Accessibility" and "Draw Over Apps". "Guest mode" it reads lets you control what others see on your device. I have not explored these yet. This is one side or part of Security. The other part would be the necessary routing of a Remote User to the a Guest VM OS on another laptop using an internet connection from another smartphone, this also possibly requiring inbound connection routing with Microsoft Windows Defender, routing the Guest user to the VM. I did find some router Android apps on Google Play. So, maybe somebody has tried this out.
