I'm looking to access PC's internet and pass it to the Phone. Is this possible for our phones?
There are a number of cheap usb wifi adapters that can double as access points.
I'm guessing you have a laptop with mobile internet?

I have wifi at home but at work, I get no signal (data or voice) and wondering if I can connect via USB. I don't have wifi at work.
Yeah they'd probably have issue with you wirelessly broadcasting their internet.
Bluetooth however would work and is cheap. And won't interfere with the network at all.
I've read else where on xda that people have gotten it to work, but the only instructions were for linux, and I got a feeling your work computer is xp.
How easy? Alot depends on the operating system and bluetooth adapter.

Im wondering if this is possible so heres my scenario:
I have KaosFroyo ROM and have used wifi tethering before with it.
At my apartment i have my wireless router in my livingroom wired to my Xbox360 and my desktop pc is two rooms away connected to the router, what I want to do is tether via bluetooth and than bridge the wireless and bluetooth connections so the xbox can connect to Live. do you guys think this is possible? let me know your input.
Thanks

I'm confused. If the Xbox is already connected to the router, then why can't you connect to Live as it's setup now?
I wanna help answer your question, but I don't fully understand the problem.
If you don't have a home internet connection you should see if you can put dd-wrt on your router. Then you can connect the router to your phone as a wireless client and plug the Ethernet into the Xbox.

It is an open source, linux-based firmware for routers.

Yes but not advised. The hit soot feature can be used to network ute xbox and laptop together but verizon will be sure to charge you for all that bandwidth ill be using while on hot spot

I think my question is misunderstood. What I'm trying to do is watch video from my phone to my xbox. The app I'm using uses wifi over my local network (not internet).. However I would like to be able to do this without the use of a router. Somehow letting my phones wifi and my xbox wifi network together.. I tried wifi teather which puts the xbox on a network (plus unneeded internet) however it does not put my phone on the same network.. I need to find a way to make some kind of virtual network they can both connect to. That way my phone can stream direct to xbox.. I'm not sure if there is an app for that. But I'm still searching, hoping someone has a way

Wouldn't it be just like bluetooth file sharing??

I just bought my S3 not too long ago and have noticed that I can't seem to tether to my MacBook Pro under OS X, but it seems to work fine under Windows. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and if there was a fix? Loving the phone but it's really a deal breaker for me if this is a consistent issue. Thanks!

What do you mean by "tether" ? Are you trying to get network connection going through the S3 on your mac via USB tether? Or are you talking about file transfer?

Hello all. I was wondering if I could share my computers internet with my phone. My computers hooked up with ethernet so it would be nice if I could share that connection with my Note. Thank you.
Depends, there's tethering and there's reverse tethering...
To connect to the internet on PC using the phone's cell towers, I use EasyTether
I mean reverse tethering, I tried an app and it didnt work and I tried setting up an ad hoc connection and that didnt work either
This is what I found to work best...

U can't plug it in and have it work that way. U have a router? Plug desktop into router and WiFi tether like that. rofit?:
you could try pdanet, it allows for wireless usb and bluetooth and so long as you don't need ssl its free
Wait... So I can use my phone as a modem/router for my Xbox 360? No... Too good to be true. Especially after I have a WiFi adapter in the mail.
Um... Laptop, crossover cable and network bridge. Not as hard as it sounds either. You could also use a router with tomato or ddwrt and route the xbox that way lol
Yeah... Have no computer at home so... Need Mac guyver to rig me something up with an alarm clock and a crack pipe. Bam! Turns into a WiFi adapter! So awesome!
Well that sucks...Wait a minute, alarm clock and crack pipe? Stop trying to blow things up Salamanca
