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

Hi all,
Does FoxFi work for WiFi tethering when NOT yet rooted, on Dinc 4? Anyone actually tested it? I'm between this and the S III, and tethering will be one of my uses. Since VZ locked S III I think I may get a Dinc 4.
Thanks for any inputs!
I have the Dinc4g, and have not rooted it just yet.
I have been trying to get FoxFi to work. My laptop will connect to FoxFi and receive an IP address via DHCP with no problem (using WPA password). I can successfully ping the phone while connected, but can *not* get out to the internet. I may be rooting sooner than later, as I too need to tether on occasion. In the mean time, I will be settling for a USB tether..
Edit: FoxFi does appear to work if you use the Proxy option (requires the FoxFi add-on). I was able to browse using FireFox after setting up the FireFox network settings to use the Proxy.

Absolutely 100% same issue here, connects, grabs an IP instantly, but it cannot browse out. The proxy-add on gives me instant web access when configured, but obviously I cannot use any other services over the proxy (like RDP, Ping, VPN, etc.) It seems almost like there's a firewall or routing issue on the phone on the NAT side of things. I can ping the gateway (192.168.43.1) but cannot route beyond it.
Can't grab IP
I'm using a Motorola Atrix HD and I can't seem to get my Nexus to grab an IP from FoxFi, even with the app.
working for me right now: FoxFi Addon, Firefox set on 'no proxy'
I use Android's native PPTP VPN connection to manage computers at my office or at my home if I need to do something when I'm not physically present.. If my phone is connected to the VPN however, and I tether my internet connection to my tablet, I can't seem to get access unless I make a second VPN connection from my tablet.
Does anybody know how to share VPN access to tethered devices? I'm sure its possible, just not sure how to make it happen...
possible solution see cross-link
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33749904&postcount=10
And why are you trying to do that?
I haven't tested vpn "sharing" , but it is simple to vpn with the tethered device to the vpn server. Wifi tether passes the vpn traffic fine.
I will poke around with it sometime.

I noticed recently that I cannot connect to any VPNs from any device connected to my S4 through wireless tether. This has probably been a problem, I just have not needed to use it. I am not using any third party software for tethering, but I am using HyperDrive ROM.
I CAN connect to my home PPTP VPN from my phone, but connecting to the same VPN through a computer or tablet tethered to that phone fails. I also tried connecting two different laptops to my work VPN (SonicWall SSLVPN) and in both cases it says it cant reach the host. I did verify the host was available and I can even ping it and even connected to the VPN through my home wireless.
Is there a VPN pass through option I am missing somewhere?

I have the same but it just started happening on 8/9. I've been using my work VPN for over a month and now its just either disconnects after a few seconds or can't connect.

Hello friends,
I've been researching how to fix my problem for a few days and I'm in dire need of some direction. I am getting quite frustrated. So I have my phone tethered to an older laptop via usb pdanet+ and everything is working fine. But what I want to do is broadcast that connection through a wireless router and connect my other devices that way. I know of wifi tethering on android and connectify for laptop but I do not want to go that route. What is it I need to do? I've tried using windows internet sharing through ethernet and disabling dhcp. Running out of ideas...
A couple of options...
1. Hosted Network Starter
Free: Simple hostpot with non configurable DHCP
www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_hotspot_starter.html
2. Connectify
Paid: Full featured hotspot with static DHCP feature
