Does anyone know if it's possible to get internet from my computer to the vibrant via bluetooth? To be clear, I do NOT want 2G/3G on my computer, I want to share my LAN connection with my phone. I'm deployed to Iraq and I have a wired connection to my computer that I want to share with my phone. I've tried connectify and similar options but they don't seem to work. I've got XP and 7 on the laptop, so if there's an option for either it'll work.
Thanks in advance.
Using bluetooth would be slow. You'll want to create an adhoc wireless network on your computer. Here's how to in XP:

Edit: This is, if you have wireless on your computer.

Hi,
I have a Sony VAIO with Windows 7 & DLNA.
I have a Galaxy S2.
What i dont have is a WiFi Router. I am yet to get it.
Can anyone tell me if its possible to connect my laptop and Phone somehow without a Wifi router?
I was reading that I can transfer I could transfer file to phone without USB connection. Not sure how
Also Can i create a HotSpot in phone and make the PC connect to that Wifi hotspot?
I tried Connectify on Windows 7 but it never worked. It was never able to create a network for some reason
Thanks and looking forward for your inputs

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> Then select "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" - From this you can set up a Wi-Fi network that uses your mobile internet.
Once you've set this up connect to the wireless network via your laptop and launch the app called "Kies air". From there you can transfer files without the need of the usb connector...
To use DLNA you need a wireless network, i wouldn't recommend using the portable Wi-Fi hotspot for it.
Thank you very much Stylee32 this helps
hope i will get my WiFi router soon
Edit: I tried this solution. Got my PC connected to Mobile. But the url which Kies Air gave didnt work
Edit 2: Finally it worked. Thank you so much
No problem at all, glad i could help
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
Maybe this is the incorrect forum, but I am looking for a way to share a wifi connection through a wifi connection. I am playing out tomorrow for vacation and would like to use the inflight wifi. However, I don't want to pay for my computer, my phone, and my wife's computer. Is there an app for Android that could connect to the inflight wifi and then share that connect via wifi (or maybe BlueTooth?) to our computers. Or maybe one of our computers (OS X or Windows 7) to connect via wifi and then share out that wifi?
Your Windows PC should be your safest bet:

Sharing Internet via wifi
i connected my blackberry bold 9780 to my laptop and i use it as a modem. i then used virtual router to share the 3G connection to my motorola xoom wifi. i can go online using google chrome just fine but all the other other apps, whether default or downloaded, refuse to connect online. im wondering if it's an adapter setting that i need to adjust or something. p,lease help. i am very frustrated at not bein able to use internet depending apps. it breaks my heart.
Hi guys, is there a way to pass through internet from a pc to the TouchPad?
Thanks.
that is more a question for your pc than for the TP.
So the TouchPad would read the internet data from a usb port?
Has anyone tried this and what software on the pc have you used? Thanks.
one bump but not looking hopeful
yes, it is called wireless router
Using a program called Connectify. Not via USB walkthrough but does create a infrastructure hotspot usable by touchpad. A bit convoluted but since touchpad will not recognize ad-hoc connections I've tethered my laptop to iphone, then used connectify to get touchpad on line.
Thanks for the reply. Everythings wired at my desk and mobile phone reception is 0-1 bars usually
Try that Connectify program. It will use your wired broadband connection on the desktop and make a hotspot that the Touchpad will connect to. It's got a free version that'll do what you need.
Thanks will check it out. When you say hotspot it sounds like wireless hotspot rather than usb? In that case there is nothing wireless on the pc....
Er, oops. Yeah, I guess it would need a wireless adapter to broadcast the hotspot! I was using this on my desktop with a wired internet connection so I assumed that we were in the same boat. Forgot I had a wireless card in it as well. My apologies.
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.
