So the problem is that when I connect my phone to my desktop PC (Win7 x64) via cable and try to tether when connected to WiFi it does NOT work (shows No internet access), BUT when I use mobile network to tether it DOES work.
Again to recap: i want to get internet to work on my desktop pc via usb tethering where source of the internet would be WiFi.
Where is the problem? Or is it not even supposed to work like that?
Using LG P500 rooted with Z4root and with mik_os kernel. The problem has been both before and after rooting/flashing.
you can use the wifi teethher to provide other devices the internet available to your phone via the mobile network only.
if wifi is the source of internet on your phone then the computer will not have internet access through the phone via usb teether.
why is that so? is there any fix or hack for that?
I think that isn't hack for this.

that is because your phone is not a wifi lan card. it can work like a modem and even computer modems dont access internet via wifi.

HI,
I'm trying to share my wifi connection on the P500 to a laptop via usb so I can access internet on the laptop through the P500.
Is this possible?It works with the data connection but I need also with wifi.
Best regards.
Can't u spend 20$ and get a wifi dongle ..
That's called USB tethering and it as easy as selecting the USB tethering option from settings. And it should work with wifi also. (I haven't tried it.)

Hi,
I am trying to share my WIFI connection over USB to my PC with the built-in tethering function but it is not working...
Sounds weird because if I disable my wifi on my Atrix, my phone share my 3g connection to my PC with usb tethering without any issue but once I enable my wifi and connect to my AP, I am no longer able to share anything...
When my phone is connected to wifi and USB tethering enabled, the only thing I can ping is my localhost (lol) and my gateway wich is my cell phone.
Anyone has an idea why? And if possible to have a workaround without having to install anything on my PC?
Thanks

Does it NEED to be usb tether? You can just download "barnacle" on your phone and make it a wifi hot spot for free.

Yes... It need to be USB. I try to share a wifi connection to my work PC that doesn't have wifi card.
Is it possible to share PC internet connection on my X10Mini via USB cable, because I don't have WiFi router. I saw something with Netfilter is this about that kind of tethering? Thanks.
why dont you try easytether from the market? you have to use the usb cable for it to work.
Or barnacle wifi tether and use your wifi from your phone.
PS:you are using your phone as a modem right?
You misunderstood me obviously, I want to use Internet connection from PC on my mobile phone because I can't connect to my PC beacuse I don't have WiFi router, so is it possible to share the internet connection from my PC to my mobile phone via USB cable
I myself googled a lot to discover the method you are saying. but its little bit complicated
for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538222
and it is called reverse-tethering
My method i use is to have wifi. share the modem or network from the windows pc and connect the phone via wifi and then browse the internet.
other than that, mmmm.... i dont know.
This is to connect Windows 7 pc to your android phone and use the phones wifi connection to use internet on PC. Linux coming, Mac Os users phone Steve.
On your phone sttings under wireless and network look for
Tethering and portable hotspots
1.enable/check usb tethering
2.enable USB debugging,
3.then install this app below
You also need android/phone usb drivers.
connect phone and pc.
Under windows network connections you will see the A. pc wirelless connection see B. Android USB Remote NDIS network ( this is your phones connection )
BRIDGE both these by selecting both A+B and bridging
Once bridge is made right clip > properties > version 4 TCP> properties select obtain ip adress automatically. apply quit you should be able to connect.

does the phone act as WiFi card?? and we get internet on PC.
actually, there's no need for extra app for this.
I've used my ace tethering directly, and work nicely on win7
connect to a hotspot from ace, and then enable usb tether. my pc get net connectivity, without any setting needed, at all
note : i'm in ginger (using blackhawk rom)
I am not able to connect, I can not bridge between mobile phone and my connection ...
The connection I am using on my computer is a portable connection
broadband connection

Hey everybody. So i had my bootloader unlocked and the phone deleted everything like i had it repaired through sony companion. I work with ethernet and there are no accesible WiFi networks near me so i connect my phone to the internet via USB cable. When i try to open google play it asks for google account,so i choose enter an existing email and it forces my phone to enter a wifi network! Does anyone know how can i bypass it? Thanks (XPERIA P)

Maybe you are going wrong with the connect phone to internet via USB cable as doing that would allow you to connect to internet on your computer using your mobile data services (which is also called USB Tethering) and not the other way round (this means Reverse Tether).
Which is why your phone keeps asking you to connect to a wifi network.
In this case, you can do 2 things.
1) (Preferred Method) just enable your mobiles data service to let it connect to internet then it won't ask for connecting to a wifi network.
2) (Not so Preferred) you can google for a software to let you reverse Tether your computer net connection to your mobile and connect to mobile.

Uhm sorry i didnt make it clear. I am using reverse tethering when i mean via USB cable but again it asks for entering a wifi net!
broadcast your internet connection from your PC using "Connectify-me" as a WiFi connection, just give a try !
because i doubt whether its uses a Ad-Hoc network, been a while since i used it that way.
