Hello,
I have internet on my Desktop PC and connect it using the cable to my hd2 through active sync.
so I want to use the HD2 router to connect my laptop to this internet connection. However, when I open the router I cannot rout the active sync. connection but I can only rout the internet from my service provider or 3g which i dont want.
I hope you can help me solve this issue because I really want to use internet on my laptop using my Desktop PC connection through my HD2.
uppppp please anyone answer me
any body wanna answer
So you want your internet connection through usb
I dont believe the wifi router software is capable of routing wifi connections to the usb connection. Only to teh mobile data connection. Perhaps there is other hotspot software that can do this, but the built in one wont. (unless i'm dead wrong, but fairly sure not)
maybe this is what you are searching: http://www.wmwifirouter.com/download/WMWifiRouter-International.cab
Im using the wifirouter with no issue, works well with my data plan!

Hi,
I don't have wifi at home, but I wanna do some surfing on my laptop, without being connected to Internet with wires.
So I got an idea: why don't I use the wifi router program on my HD2? I can connect it to my desktop computer (it's connected to the internet with a wire), and then turn it into a wifi router. But apparently it only works with GPRS to Wifi, not Active Sync to wifi.
Is it possible to do?

So you are trying to do this:
PC -> HTCHD2 (Wifi Router)-> Laptop
Sorry I'm not sure if you can do that.
If you have 3G, it should be sufficient and you can charge the phone while using it as a router. Hopefully someone else can spread more light on this subject.

You need wmwifirouter for that.

Hello,
I know it is technically possible to broadcast internet through the phones WiFi Router, but I found that I can only transmit the signal I recieve from 2G/3G etc.. My question is can I use my desktop PC as a source of internet (through the usb cable) through activesync and then broadcast it through WiFI. Iam asking this question, as my wifi router is now dead and Ive lost my wifi network, so I need a substitute until I recieve my new router.
Thanks, The Wiz!
Hi Guys. Need a little help.
Scenario: I have a wired ADSL connection in my home for internet. I have Windows 7 on my PC installed. I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G WiFi card in my PC as well.
Now, I want to share my PC's ADSL connection with my Vibrant through my WiFi card.
So far, I have failed to achieve it. I have tried doing it the TP-Link way by establishing a Soft AP through a software provided by them, but no success. I have tried connectify, no luck here either. My vibrant detects the network but never connects to it...
Any help, what so ever will be really appreciated...
Easiest way, get a $30 router at your local store. Will save you a headache. Otherwise bridge your wired and wireless connection using windows.

Well what you will need to do is allow ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the wired NIC card and allow other users to share the connection. It should DHCP the wired NIC and assign your wireless card an IP address like 192.168.137.1 and Subnet of 255.255.255.0.
Actually I don't want to buy a new router, want to use my WiFi card. And it is possible through it, so I think I should not spend money on a router...
I have tried everything... ICS is not working... Connectify is not working either...
There is some way of doing it through Adhoc network, I read somewhere but I have also read that Adhoc network is not supported in Android...
If someone can help, that would be great...
Odd because I'm doing ICS via Windows 7 and mine works perfectly..
***Edit...you might have to add in the default gateway ip and primary dns server ip on the wireless card for it to look for your wired NIC
just right click on your wired NIC and go to status and then details
Hmm... I am going to try this but do I share the internet with my WiFi card or the Virtual WiFi Miniport?
You share the wired NIC "allow other users to connect " it will act as your DHCP server and assign an address to your wireless card
Nothing is happening for me...
My Vibrant detects the WiFi AP but does not connect to it... It evens show the signal strength to be "Excellent" but does not connect to it...
Man... Its really frustrating when you can not get something to work...
So it just wont connect period?? Not even to network? Or will it connect and just no internet.... Hmmmmm
It just wont connect. Period...
Thanks for your willingness to help though...
Google "set up adhoc windows 7" to get your wireless set up properly, then should be easy. Keep it simple at first. Broadcast ssid and one you will recognize, and no password to eliminate any problems. Once configured and workinggo back and set up a password.

I have tried this Ad Hoc connection as well but I have read somewhere that Android does not support Ad Hoc connection. If there is some way around, please do tell me...
Finally... Got it working guys...

Followed it and it just worked...
Man, I am relieved...
Hello,
Is there any similar setting for SGS2?
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/tutorials/using-pc-to-connect-to-internet/
The goal is to share internet FROM PC TO SGS2 using USB.
Very useful at work which I don't want to waste my 3G data plan.
This is not possible direclty. If you have WiFi no problem
If you dont have Wifi router, you can use http://www.connectify.me/ to create virtual hotspot on your PC and then connect your phone to that hotspot and then you can share interet from PC to SGS2
I know about connectify, but at office (bank) there is no option for wifi devices .....NO WAY!
That's why I insist for USB connection.
not possible as far as i know. these are the only options
Alright, did the usual searches and have the usual answers wich don't seem to pertain to what i'm doing.
I have one static connection allowed to wifi router. I wish to use phone to share this connection with more than one device not using mobile data but the broadband connection.
Basically connect phone to broadband wifi. Have devices connect to phone to share wifi.
Again, to prevent any confusion: I do not want to share mobile connection on phone. I wish to share wifi connection with other devices from phone. ie. I have only one connection allowed to router and I wish to use phone to share that connection with PC and PS3.
Sorry for redundancy in stating this but people seem to miss the point or not read and suggest applications like Barnacle wich only share mobile internet or USB tethering wich only works for PC.
Well from what I understand Wi-Fi must be off on phone in order to create the Wi-Fi signal on the phone so this may be impossible

I know exactly what you are saying, and I am pretty sure it is impossible. I currently have wi-fi service where I have to log in, with only 1 device allowed log in at a time. When you turn on the wi-fi hotspot on your phone, it automatically turns your wi-fi off. You can only use the hotspot feature using your data connection over 3g or 4g. I have tried everything. If you are in the same situation, where you can only log one device on the internet connection, you may want to try spoofing your IP. Change the IP on the other devices to the IP on your phone. This may allow you to log the other devices in as well (so I have read). That may be your only option.
Yeah looks like Im going to connect PC and use an ethernet cable with connection sharing to get PS3 to work. Phone will have to use mobile data unless PC and PS3 arent being used.
Or phone gets wifi and USB tethered to pc and then connection shared (not sure this will work).
sharing wifi connection
I have done this using a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP ethernet converter. You connect to the wireless source (WAP) then it acts like a router and allows you to plug devices into it, has four ports but you could use a switch if more are needed. Each device aquires an IP from the converter and is hidden to the WAP, looks like one device is connected. Pretty easy to setup. Check it out.
