You mean like connecting to another ad-doc or creating one of your own for others to connect? For the second one, you need barnacle from market - works great.

there is a program called Connectify which use your laptop wifi to make a hotspot area.. you can connect your android phone to the said hotspot. www.connectify.me only available to windows 7 and windows 2008
I am assuming that you already know how to a create adhoc network on your laptop and share your internet connection.
X10 can connect with adhoc networks, but you will need to set it up manually. The steps are outlined here. Root required.
From the article here:
Windows 7 comes with a new feature for sharing your computers internet connection. Now you can do it wirelessly. Well, As long as your system’s wireless network adapter supports Windows 7 “virtual wi-fi” feature, you can do it.
Next you need to check if your network card has the latest driver to support the feature. Intel, Broadcom, Realtek and some other NIC makers provide such drivers.
If the two above conditions are met, you are good to read on …
1. Open an elevated command prompt (Type “CMD.EXE” in the start menu search bar, then right click the cmd.exe link and select “Run as Administrator”).
2. In the command window, type: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNet key=MyPassword
Replace “MyNet” with the name you want to use for the wireless network and replace “MyPassword” with your chosen password for accessing it)
3. Press Enter.
4. Now type: netsh wlan start hostednetwork
5. Press Enter.
6. Open Control Panel and go to Network and Sharing Center.
7. Click Change Adapter Settings.
8. Right click your Internet connection and select Properties.
9. Click the Sharing tab.
10. Check the box that says “Allow other network users to connect.”
11. Choose your virtual wi-fi adapter and click OK.
Now wi-fi enabled gadget (mobile phone, laptop, ipod, etc) within range should see your new wireless network and others can connect to it if they know the password.
if you've turned off your computer and need to enable this feature, you can just type "netsh wlan start hostednetwork"
Connectify is a good option though if you don't to do the steps above.
====
if this isn't about the topic then ignore 'coz i'm a bit confused as to what you wanted to do.
the question is do you want to share your laptop's internet connection so that your x10 mini can connect to it?
OR
do you want to create share your x10 mini's internet connection so that others can connect to it? (Barnacle is the answer)
anyway, as far as i know, x10 mini/mini pro can't connect to any adhoc network.
I have xperia x10 mini pro. Trying to set up wi-fi adhoc (IBSS) with a laptop.
Changed / system / etc / tiwlan.ini
Code:
...
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = x10mp
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0
...
and / data / misc / wifi / wpa_cupplicant.conf
Code:
ctrl_interface = wlan0
wpa_supplicant GROUP = system
update_config = 1
eapol_version = 1
ap_scan = 2
network = {
ssid = "x10mp"
scan_ssid = 1
key_mgmt = NONE
mode = 1
frequency = 2412
}
When I turn on wi-fi on the phone immediately goes to connect to the correct grid, for a long time hanging message "Obtaining IP address ...", and then says" failed ".
What's the problem? What's best way to organize such a network?
Many of us was looking for the way to connect their phones to the internet via PC internet connection
Today i will show an easy way to do this
First go to http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
download the Version for your OS
then install the program
then start the program and make a new router with the name you want
and the password you like
then start the Virtual Router
after that go to your android phone and go to settings Wireless & Networks
Turn on you Wi-Fi Connection
select the network you just started and enter the password you made
and that's it you are connected to the internet via your PC's Connection
I'm not sure whether this post belongs here, but I have googled high and low and I have not found anything that directly pertains to my Samsung Galaxy S2 issue. And here at XDA, the VPN questions seem to be about private VPNs (not commercial).
I am currently running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.XXKG6
I follow these steps for connecting to a LT2P
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Android_L2TP_Over_IPSec
And these for PPTP
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Installing_personalVPN-PPTP_on_Android_Mobile_Phone
I have tried the PPTP and L2TP
Both fail to connect
L2TP yields:
"Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
But no additional error message.
PPTP however, seems to allow the connection.
I connected a few times.
I used pptp.sfo.witopia.net. as the VPN server
That seemed to let me connect a few times;
and according to hide-my-ip.com I had an L.A. IP
But now, when I try to connect, I'm getting an error message that reads:
"Server hung up. User name or password incorrect. Try again?"
But I didn’t do or change anything. I just tried to connect as usual.
I've tried
restarting the phone.
waiting a while.
Connecting with the computer (connects without a problem)
I tried connecting to the different VPN servers.
I also tried connecting changing the VPN server from URL to an IP address,
but that just tells me "Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
I am at a loss...
I have tried at home, on my wifi account...
The same one that my computer is on, but no dice.
The VPN service provider is also at a loss.
They said "...iPhones connect all day..." (talk about a kick in the teeth)
They asked me if I wanted to cancel my account and request a refund.
Nice.
Thanks for the replies.
This forums are always so helpful.
No, that's okay, don't get up. I'll get that.
A two part work around I found was:
PART I
Sharing the VPN Connection Over WiFi by Converting my Laptop into WiFi VPN Router. An article by BESTVPNSERVICE.COM
Using a Windows 7 machine with a Wi-Fi NIC
1) Click on your computers start button and in the search box type “cmd” and wait for it to appear on the menu.
2) After it appears, right click on it and select “Run As Administrator”.
3) When the Black Command Prompt Opens up, type the following command and press enter
4) netsh wlan show drivers
5) You will see something like the following image. If the ‘Hosted Network Supported’ (in the red square) say ‘Yes’, it means the driver is installed and if it says ‘No’, download the drivers.
6) Once it is made sure that you have the required driver, it’s time to set it up.
7) Type netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=test key=password. Following Screen would appear. (Devices will detect network SSID as “test” change it to anything you want. Moreover, ‘key’ is your password which in this case is ‘password’, change it to whatever you want, I would suggest you to not to use numbers in password)
8 ) Then type, netsh wlan start hostednetwork. You will see the messages illustrated in the snap shot.
9) If you see the message that the ‘hosted network couldn’t be started’, then your WiFi driver is outdated, the best way to update the WiFi driver is Run you Windows Update or download the latest version from its official website.
10) Now that we have setup hosted network, we will make sure that it is shared on public Wi-Fi.
11) To do this, click on your Wi-Fi signal buttons on the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
12) Click on ‘Open Network and Sharing Center’.
13) Then click on Change adapter settings.
14) Click on the Connection that has description of ‘Your Created VPN Connection’ and right click on the Icon to go to its properties.
15) In Properties, go to ‘Sharing’ tab and check on ‘Allow Other Network User to connect through this computer…’
16) From the drop down menu of ‘Home Networking Connection’, Select the connection which had a description of ‘Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter’/’Virtula AP’ or it can be ‘Wireless Network Connection 2’ as in my case.
17) Check on the ‘Allow other network users to control or disable….’ Option as well.
18) Click ok and you are all set to go now.
19) Connect your VPN and ask your Friends or Colleague to discover your VPN enabled WiFi Connection.
20) Now, whenever you will restart your computer, your Shared WiFi connection will be disabled. You will have to reenter only the following command in the command prompt to enable it again.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork (or create a custom batch file for this, if you want to avoid reentering the command every time).
PART II
If the wi-fi direct on your phone isn't discovering your freshly created network,
you may need enable Ad Hoc connections for it.
For that I looked at an article here; but instead of Root Explorer is simply used ES Explorer:
Download this version of wpa_supplicant
Like I said, I used "ES Explorer"
• use "ES Explorer" to mount /system/bin/ and make a backup of wpa_supplicant
• rename the current one to wpa_supplicant.bak and copy the new wpa_supplicant to /system/bin
• then we need to adjust the permissions on the file to:
ticked - All options in the read and execute columns; and write column owner row
unticked - write column & group row; write column & others row.
• change /system/bin back to read only
• disable and re-enable wireless
• now your adhoc wireless network should be listed with the other wireless networks and you can connect.
After this two maneuvers, I was able to connect my phone to my laptop using my laptop's internet access and thus connecting to the VPN.
I find that the order of network activation matters.
What I mean is:
First connect to the internet (router, modem, or however that may be)
Then connect to the VPN
And then activate and connect to the hostednetwork.
I hope this helps someone, despite the fact that you have to be within wifi range of your windows machine. It's not quite the same as being on the streets and connecting to your VPN -but Android can't [consistently and reliably] connect to VPNs. And since no one replied to me here it stands to reason that no one knows how to get Android to connect to commercial VPN services (not even WiTopia's tech support).
Hi everyone, as the title suggests, I have problems with the hotspot of my rooted Pocophone F1, MIUI Global 11.
It works great with other android devices, but I can't share the connection with my Lenovo Laptop with Windows 8.1.
USB tethering instead works without any problem.
When I try to connect to the Hotspot via WiFi, it returns the message "Limited", "No Internet Access".
Network Diagnostics throws up the following error message: "Windows can't communicate with the device or resource (Primary DNS Server)."
I have a full strength signal and I appear to be connected but there is "no internet access".
I am able to connect the laptop on the wireless of my home router with no problem.
I tried to:
1) Change the APN type to: "default, mms, dun, supl" (I also tried to insert "DUN" in capital letters)
2) Change the private DNS mode from "automatic" to "dns.google"
3) Reset all the network settings
But nothing changes, the problem remains.
Can you help me with my problem? Thanks in advance.
Any chance of getting help?
More likely a windows issue. Get help from google.
