I'm confused. If the Xbox is already connected to the router, then why can't you connect to Live as it's setup now?
I wanna help answer your question, but I don't fully understand the problem.

If you don't have a home internet connection you should see if you can put dd-wrt on your router. Then you can connect the router to your phone as a wireless client and plug the Ethernet into the Xbox.

It is an open source, linux-based firmware for routers.

[Q] Reverse Tether for Xperia?

Hi,
I often find myself in environments (mainly hotel rooms) where I have a wired Internet connection but no wifi.
I was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to have my Xperia use USB to get its internet access through a laptop (XP or Win7). I've looked elsewhere in XDA, and found many other questions but few answers.
I know that the last resort is travelling with a router but that's undesirable and I'd like to avoid that solution if possible. Having the laptop act as the access point could be a workable solution but I have no idea how to do that without buying third party software.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Is therenot any software that alliws the laptop to become a router if it is using ethernet cable?
I dont know, just a guessw

Reverse USB tethering is really the only thing I miss from Windows Mobile days...

There's Connectify for Windows 7 that turns the PC into a virtual WiFi hotspot, it works well most of the times.

Anyone know a way to accomplish this using windows vista?

[Q] Reverse Tethering on SGS2

I'm looking to access PC's internet and pass it to the Phone. Is this possible for our phones?
There are a number of cheap usb wifi adapters that can double as access points.
I'm guessing you have a laptop with mobile internet?

I have wifi at home but at work, I get no signal (data or voice) and wondering if I can connect via USB. I don't have wifi at work.
Yeah they'd probably have issue with you wirelessly broadcasting their internet.
Bluetooth however would work and is cheap. And won't interfere with the network at all.
I've read else where on xda that people have gotten it to work, but the only instructions were for linux, and I got a feeling your work computer is xp.
How easy? Alot depends on the operating system and bluetooth adapter.

Wifi hot spot question

Hey is it possible to connect my ltevo to my computer, take the internet from there, then broadcast it as wifi? I'm going on a trip and the place I'm stating has no wifi, only ethernet and the 3g is very very poor. Thank you in advance.

You don't need to use the phone to broadcast the wifi, it's possible to use your laptop alone as a wifi hotspot. Google "Windows laptop as wifi hotspot" for a bunch of info. Ubuntu 12.04 actually has the feature built in, I believe. Or, at least, it was built into Mint 13 when I tried it out this week.
I have not actually done any of this, just passing on the info.

Tether Phone from Computer

Hello all. I was wondering if I could share my computers internet with my phone. My computers hooked up with ethernet so it would be nice if I could share that connection with my Note. Thank you.
Depends, there's tethering and there's reverse tethering...
To connect to the internet on PC using the phone's cell towers, I use EasyTether
I mean reverse tethering, I tried an app and it didnt work and I tried setting up an ad hoc connection and that didnt work either
This is what I found to work best...

U can't plug it in and have it work that way. U have a router? Plug desktop into router and WiFi tether like that. rofit?:
you could try pdanet, it allows for wireless usb and bluetooth and so long as you don't need ssl its free
Wait... So I can use my phone as a modem/router for my Xbox 360? No... Too good to be true. Especially after I have a WiFi adapter in the mail.
Um... Laptop, crossover cable and network bridge. Not as hard as it sounds either. You could also use a router with tomato or ddwrt and route the xbox that way lol
Yeah... Have no computer at home so... Need Mac guyver to rig me something up with an alarm clock and a crack pipe. Bam! Turns into a WiFi adapter! So awesome!
Well that sucks...Wait a minute, alarm clock and crack pipe? Stop trying to blow things up Salamanca
