I am having broadband connection at home, but no wifi router. So I am unable to use broadband with my phone.
How can I connect my phone to my pc and share the internet from my computer.
Note that I don't want to use my ace as a modem.

this can be done in two ways!!
Either you get yourself ADSL modem +WIFI router and then use broadband on SGA or second method would be by
"Reverse USB tethering" you will need a Linux machine for that, because you cannot do it on Windows machine,(i don't say it is imposible but its not working right now)

Hey frnds,
I am a new guy on Android platform. I would need your advice on how to have internet connection via PC-USB (without Wifi). I am talking in respect to SGS2.
Your help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.
P.S.: This is my first post on this forum. Let me know if I am missing something.

also if OP os talking bout using his/her Internet on his/her phone from the PC
Internet>computer>phone(via USB)

Internet>Phone>computer is
On htc devices you could use the pc internet connection to browse with the phone while connected to usb..sadly cant do that on this phone

Anybody???? This function could really help me as well...
you're looking for reverse tethering i think.
for some reason it seems to be much harder than it should be on android.

Some networks don't let you use your laptop etc..to connect to the internet via your phone unless you pay extra.
My ace is locked to three there is a option in setting to Tether via usb or wifi but no mater winch setting i use it will not work.
However on my old HTC HD touch generic i can connect my usb cable to my laptop and go on-line with the same sim. Iam going to try and branded my ace once i know how.

Not share you Phone internet, but PC internet to Phone.
CHEERS!
What about sharing the connection by WiFi? Through Ad-Hoc?
I know that there's an option in Linux, but I'm not so sure for Windows.
Rufus87
Try to download Connectify and turn your laptop into access point (if your wifi card supports it). Anyway, buying wifi access point is the best solution.
adeklipse
In Windows he can set up ad hoc network, but Ace doesn't support it. I tried to look for working edited wpa_supplicant file, but i didn't find it.
Devs any hope for this yet?

Virtual WiFi adapter for Windows 7
You could also change your WiFi adapter into a virtual WiFi Miniport and share the internet connection if you have windows 7.. It acts as a Wireless access point and also please note that your hardware should support in order to create a virtual WiFi.. Just follow these instructions..
http://mintywhite.com/windows-7/set-windows-7-wifi-hotspot-quick-tip/
+1 mr., been +1ing twice tonight.. I also had this issue, decided to stop my ace's data plan and my brother had a decent connection on the desktop. Sadly it was our all time fav Win XP and we're too lazy to add a WIFI/WLAN card to it.
Maybe having a Terminal Emulator (since we can't do any adb commands when tethering) to establish an interface/eth0, activating the USB tether (not the wireless) and configuring a connection on the Windows would help? I've tried that, but met no luck on Windows part.
I used reverse usb tethering on galaxy mini before purchase ace. Its simple script to give usb0 ip address and some setting on gateway, dns.
I would like to share my internet connection on my pc with my sgs2 phone.
how can i pass through the internet from the pc to the phone ?
I searched a lot, didn't saw a clear answer regarding this issue... any ideas

I am happy with the above said software as i am flashy. whenever i flash new ROM and sync with internet of PC through connectify and all my data is back in just couple of minutes.
Through USB cable......I still dont know the solution!

What you are looking for is called Tethering.
You can enable and configure it on your phone in
menu => Settings => Wireless and Network => Tethering and Mobile Hotspot =>
a) USB Tethering, if you want to be connected via USB to your PC, or
b) Configure mobile WLAN hotspot, if you want to connect your PC via WLAN with your phone.
There is also a short help in this settings menu.
Good luck !
^i think what the OP mean is how to share the internet connection of his/her PC to his/her SGS2 (not SGS2 to PC).

So, it is tethering the other way round.
My idea: install and configure a WLAN hotspot on your PC.
I do not know any solution to get it done by using USB cable.

Hi All,
I have a old laptop which is not supporting wifi, I am using network cable to connecting internet on the laptop. also I am using wifi modem on my home to share internet to computer and my android mobile.
My question is, can i able to use my android mobile as data card to share wifi connection to my old laptop ???
Thanks,
didnt get you, first you said that your laptop doesnt support Wifi
and again you're saying that u want to share your phone's net via wifi hotspot?
be more specific
Whilst I've never tried to use it the Neo supports USB tethering so yes sharing a connection from phone to the PC through USB should definitely be possible.

I don't think a WiFi router, which you have, will can act as a WiFi receptor, So that is quite hopeless.. But you can still use USB tethering to just connect your phone via USB and get connected to the Internet.
[ICS]
go to Settings>More...>Tethering & portable hotspot> USB tethering

Tethering works both ways as far as I know though I've never tried.

Tethering means that you can use ONLY TO SHARE internet from Android to PC,it's not working to share Internet from PC to Android. (that is called reverse tethering).

Plug it into the usb.......
It must have one of them right?

It works exactly like a Bluetooth adapter,insert the bluetooth adapter into usb port,and you have bluetooth on your pc. With wi-fi adapter it's the same thing,insert it in usb port and you'll have wi-fi capabilities (both ways: phone-pc and pc-phone).I'm currently using an usb adapter to share internet from pc to phone.
i think i get what hes asking
is it possable to use the wifi from the phone over usb so not useing data from mobile network
You mean u want to use ur phone as a wifi adapter? There is an app called PdaNet for that.
New version:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pn.helper&hl=en
Old version:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnBkYW5ldCJd(not recommended)
I have been trying to do the same thing but unsuccessfully.
Basically my phone is connected to the internet through wifi, and I want to share this via bluetooth.
The problem seems to be that with android, tethering can only share your 3g/4g but not wifi.
Apparently apps such as pdanet, foxfi, can solve this, but i havent been able to get it to work =(

you can start up a hotspot on the phone and use SWIFTP to host an ftp server off the phone
Use the phone's Wifi Tethering option or the freeware "Connecitfy" on the computer to create a Wifi network and then use an app like SAMBA Fileshare to transfer the files.
Afaik Wifi Direct is a software-only protocol which uses sort of apoint-to-point Adhoc network so there is no reason why computers should not be able to use it, at least no technical. You'd need the corresponding tools / drivers though and to my knowledge none such exist.
I have always found es file explorer to work extremely well. You do need to spend a little time to become familiar with interface but really is great for moving files etc. I use it to over files on/from/to my htpc if the wife is watching her junk. Just make sure you have a static ip on your pc to allow for auto login when you open app rather than scanning and login in every time
ist about that you are awesome because tou are imaginary or exist in another world
Hi
Both Intel (My WiFi Dashboard) and Qualcomm-Atheros (Direct Connection) have a client that is supposed to be "WiFi direct" certified and should allow for Direct Peer-Peer connection between the Phone and PC without the need for an access point or other routing device.
I have been unable to get either to work with my SGH-i927 Captivate Glide !
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/my-wifi-technology.html
The only place I could find the Atheros client was on OEM sites like this for Dell(Sony and HP also have it)
