All,
I have the following situation:
I have a laptop that has a wired internet connection and I have a Archos Gen 8 tablet. The laptop and Archos both have bluetooth. The laptop is running Windows 7 Ent. and the Archos is running the latest stock firmware (2.4.19 / Android 2.2)
What I want to do:
I want to connet my Archos to the BT of the laptop and then use the laptop's internet connection to access the internet.
Does anyone know a solution for this? Searching google only results in tethering a tablet to a mobile phone or tether a laptop to a mobile phone.
Regards,
Johan
If your laptop use wire internet why don't you just buy a router and use a wireless to connect you Archos. Don't have to looking for a hard work man...
Another hand, you can access internet anytime without turn on you laptop.

Steven,
Thanks for the reply, but the problem is that I cannot plug in a wireless router in the places I want to use this solution (mainly at work).

Connect your laptop with a wired connection and use your laptop as a wireless hot spot:

I've done this before and it works, similar to the poster above me!

hello
i'd like to connect my samsung player star to my folio100 in foliomod 1.3a by dexter, but the folio can't connect my phone in bluetooth " find but not connect" is there a possible solution with usb or another thing
i've search in many places but can't find the solution.
my phone give internet to my pc with "new pc studio"
thank's to every one
I connect my folio with my htc magic using wifi tethering. Have you try this instead the bluetooth?

The only way, for now, to have internet on the folio is through wifi.
The bluetooth stack is not complete and/or android can't use bluetooth as a client for internet. I've also searched for many hours.
Archos has made a lot of effort in enabling bluetooth tethering, but i don't know if it's an app or extra functions in the bluetooth drivers.
A little good news is, people are trying to make 3G usb sticks working on the folio.
Hello all,
I have been using my hd2 as a wifi router without issue with my desktop pc or my old macbook. I've even been able to watch netflix on them this way.
But I can't seem to get my Sony WIFI enabled dvd player to connect to the phone. The player sees the phone but will not connect. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Scott

Does your Sony DVD Player support a ADHOC connection? The HD2 only uses a ADHOC connection when using it for a WiFi Router.
ADHOC is a computer to computer connection so it may not support this type of connection.
If you find out it does not support ADHOC, then there might be a work around. It will be a little bit of a pian in the rear but hey it is a work around. If you have a USB port or a Eithernet port on your Sony DVD player you can use your laptop to connect to the DVD player either via USB cable or Eithernet cable and select allow other computers to access the internet via your laptop and then set the connection up on your DVD player and you will have internet access. Sony PlayStation 3 owners have to do this to use the WiFi of a HD2 as it does not support ADHOC connections. With your DVD player being Sony I bet it is the same.
Thank you
You were right, it did not support the ADHOC. It took me a little while but I got it working.
Thank you so much, I really like using all of my unlimited-as slow as it might be at times.

Try googling. There should be solutions.
Hi there,
I've look in the other topic before starting this one as the others didn't treat about the same things.
I'm under windows 7 on my computer, I recently had a bluetooth dongle (bluetooth 4.0 dongle) on my computer.
What I want to do is to use my internet connection (cable) of my computer with my tf201 using a bluetooth connection.
I can pair the computer and the tf201 but I didn't have the possibility to use the internet acces whereas I have PAN service avalaible in my computer on the option with the tf201.
Did someone already do that and can help me doing all the necessary so I can do this sharing ?
I notice that the virtual PAN network is indicated as a cable network (I don't understant why but I suppose it's the way it work under windows)...
I hope someone could help.
See you.
No one can help me ?
Hello i want to ask if there is any way to get tablet to connect to internet via wifi(dont have net sim) when the controller is connected, some games like NFS:NL needs to connect to internet on start up ( and i belive after some races or w/e)
PS: sorry if it is in wrong section, wasnt sure where to post it.
if it is connected to your router you will connected all the time to internet?
I have this situation, I have tablet on WiFi (have internet, all is fine) , then I connect controller to tablet ( as i know it can be done via WiFi only) and internet stop working, games that check something online on startup, write that Im not connected to internet.

Check the settings of the router! Or your provider !! It is necessary to change the settings so that would be a router you can not connect only one device!

Check this: disconnect from the router all the gadgets! Connect to the router only tablet! After try to connect a gamepad, and then start the game!
Thank all, turns out it was defective controller, with new one all work fine
