Hi Guys. Need a little help.
Scenario: I have a wired ADSL connection in my home for internet. I have Windows 7 on my PC installed. I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G WiFi card in my PC as well.
Now, I want to share my PC's ADSL connection with my Vibrant through my WiFi card.
So far, I have failed to achieve it. I have tried doing it the TP-Link way by establishing a Soft AP through a software provided by them, but no success. I have tried connectify, no luck here either. My vibrant detects the network but never connects to it...
Any help, what so ever will be really appreciated...
Easiest way, get a $30 router at your local store. Will save you a headache. Otherwise bridge your wired and wireless connection using windows.

Well what you will need to do is allow ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the wired NIC card and allow other users to share the connection. It should DHCP the wired NIC and assign your wireless card an IP address like 192.168.137.1 and Subnet of 255.255.255.0.
Actually I don't want to buy a new router, want to use my WiFi card. And it is possible through it, so I think I should not spend money on a router...
I have tried everything... ICS is not working... Connectify is not working either...
There is some way of doing it through Adhoc network, I read somewhere but I have also read that Adhoc network is not supported in Android...
If someone can help, that would be great...
Odd because I'm doing ICS via Windows 7 and mine works perfectly..
***Edit...you might have to add in the default gateway ip and primary dns server ip on the wireless card for it to look for your wired NIC
just right click on your wired NIC and go to status and then details
Hmm... I am going to try this but do I share the internet with my WiFi card or the Virtual WiFi Miniport?
You share the wired NIC "allow other users to connect " it will act as your DHCP server and assign an address to your wireless card
Nothing is happening for me...
My Vibrant detects the WiFi AP but does not connect to it... It evens show the signal strength to be "Excellent" but does not connect to it...
Man... Its really frustrating when you can not get something to work...
So it just wont connect period?? Not even to network? Or will it connect and just no internet.... Hmmmmm
It just wont connect. Period...
Thanks for your willingness to help though...
Google "set up adhoc windows 7" to get your wireless set up properly, then should be easy. Keep it simple at first. Broadcast ssid and one you will recognize, and no password to eliminate any problems. Once configured and workinggo back and set up a password.

I have tried this Ad Hoc connection as well but I have read somewhere that Android does not support Ad Hoc connection. If there is some way around, please do tell me...
Finally... Got it working guys...
Here is the link: http://www.itgeekdiary.com/windows-7-as-an-wi-fi-access-point/
Followed it and it just worked...
Man, I am relieved...
Having trouble connecting my notebook to my desktop via VPN using the Photon. Works with other devices (Evo) and on my home WiFi. Any idea why this will not work using the Photon? Been reading for 2 days and cannot seem to find an answer. VPN connection times out.
I have a wired connection at home (no router), and I tried to connect my TP to the internet via an ad-hoc connection created by my laptop, but it doesn't seem to be working. It simply connects and disconnects over and over again. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
I have a Windows 7 computer, and the wifi on my TP DOES work, as I have connected to the internet at work via a router.
ad-hoc is not natively support on android devices....
Is there any way to get it to start working after rooting it?
Try this link. Worked for me

Well I after much gooogleing I found the solution:
Got to wifi--advanced settings
Tick "USE STATIC IP"
IP address : 192.168.1.253
Gateway : 192.168.1.1
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
DNS/(DNS 1for cm7): 8.8.4.4
And voilà your wifi's working
I hope this helps many others like me ...cheers

To fix the problem actually:
See your router settings, is DHCP on?
And if it's, try to upgrade Router firmware.
I had (and still have, sometimes) DHCP problem like this, which forces me to use static IP, I couldn't find a permanent fix but upgrading the router firmware helps, at least reduces this problem

That's why.
We can't rely on manual static IP on public hotspots, especially if it's free.
Some public hotspots usually have their own settings which you can get from DHCP
You can try copying the settings from a device that can connect via DHCP, though

If you're using connectify so try it to restart this app and start hotspot again..sometime I had have same problem..
if you are using avast antivirus then avast blocks the connection sharing by default...
internet works on my tab
i think something happened to my phone..
im using cosmix xperia v3.1 rom
