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

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.
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
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.
Hey everybody. So i had my bootloader unlocked and the phone deleted everything like i had it repaired through sony companion. I work with ethernet and there are no accesible WiFi networks near me so i connect my phone to the internet via USB cable. When i try to open google play it asks for google account,so i choose enter an existing email and it forces my phone to enter a wifi network! Does anyone know how can i bypass it? Thanks (XPERIA P)

Maybe you are going wrong with the connect phone to internet via USB cable as doing that would allow you to connect to internet on your computer using your mobile data services (which is also called USB Tethering) and not the other way round (this means Reverse Tether).
Which is why your phone keeps asking you to connect to a wifi network.
In this case, you can do 2 things.
1) (Preferred Method) just enable your mobiles data service to let it connect to internet then it won't ask for connecting to a wifi network.
2) (Not so Preferred) you can google for a software to let you reverse Tether your computer net connection to your mobile and connect to mobile.

Uhm sorry i didnt make it clear. I am using reverse tethering when i mean via USB cable but again it asks for entering a wifi net!
broadcast your internet connection from your PC using "Connectify-me" as a WiFi connection, just give a try !
because i doubt whether its uses a Ad-Hoc network, been a while since i used it that way.

Spacedesk is a desktop app that allow to make your device into another monitor & control mouse
Need a wifi point near my desktop pc (for lower latency), so i wanted to use my phone in usb tethering since wifi hotspot don't work / stop working after some times on pc with power management setting off (when i try to connect, it just do nothing and still say "Secured" but not "Connected")
So i want my phone to redirect everything from the wifi hotspot, to the usb tethering and the same thing in the opposite way, i know i can use proxy server, but i don't know how to configure it to make it work with spacedesk.
Any idea?
spacedesk port is 28252
