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.

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.
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

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
i hope i can explain myself good enough please let me know if you have any questions..
my android phone (galaxy s3 i9300) is connected to my router's wifi, just like anybody else if they have a router that supports wifi.. all other smartphones i have are connected to it.
now i have a computer but i can't run a cable to it from the router.
i just want to know if there's any way i share the wifi connection i'm connected to on my phone to the computer using USB cable
it's just like using regular tethering but instead of using the mobile's network to tether a wifi connection, i want to use the wifi connection to tether my pc?
i have a rooted device, all ready to go, is there an app or something i need to install on my pc..anything please help
Ok let me try to explain.
I DON'T want to use my 4g to do USB tendering. What I want is while my phone is connected to my home wifi I want to use that wifi that is on my phone and connect it to my laptop via USB tedering.
Reason being, my laptops wifi is messed up but not the lan. I don't want to use all my phone data so I want to grab the home Internet with my phone and use my phone as a direct line to my laptop without using 4g.
Hopefully I didn't confuse anyone. Does anyone know if there is a tool like that somewhere.

if you enable the usb tethering, wifi will be turned off, the only way is to use lan cable. connect your laptop to your wifi modem with lan cable, it has at least one lan port.
