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.)

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.
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

I'm pretty sure you can only do one at a time, either USB tether or wifi tether, at least with the built in tethering. There may be apps like PDAnet that let you do both but I doubt it.
I could do that with my sola and ideosx5,why not with this?
Ok,i installed pdanet and it works just fine,a bit slow,but fine,cant understand why motorola would leave something like that,out..

This definitely works on MIUI, I just tried it. MIUI doesn't disable wifi when USB tethering is active. I disabled my 3G data, enabled wifi + usb tethering and I had internet access on my computer - whatismyip.com showed that I was on my phone's wifi connection and not 3G.
So if you have a GSM phone, you could give it a try.
