Wondering if theres anyway i can use my phone with a wired connection to a pc without wifi. Is there anyway i can do it via bluetooth or via usb cable. And i have a network RJ45 port around me if i get an adapter would it be possible to plug it into my phone then use the internet?
Cheers

There's always a way mate!
Detailed guide plus apps, both for phone and PC.
It's called reverse Android tethering
Also there's a stock app that can do that using usb, I think it was called something like settings

I totally forgot this is a GalaxyS2 forum lol, I posted what works on every phone
You're right, it's easy on SGS2, just use Settings
sorry, kinda new to the s2 but where in settings can i do this?
Cheers
Wireless connection or whatever it is, and in there tethering or whatever. Sorry, I'm too lazy to change language to english

i was looking at the tethering setting but isnt that using my phones internet on my pc not the other way around?
Yes, seems that I understood your first post wrong, I think ur looking for reverse thether although I don't get it why some1 would like to share his computers internet via usb to his phone

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.

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?

you can download kies air via samsung apps and then connect PC with wifi
Sorry shouldn't been more specific, i mean using my S3 as a wifi hot spot and connecting my Mac to it.

Besides the bluetooth problem I have with this thing (already posted), now I have another problem. I have T-Mobile, 10GB which includes tethering. EVERY time I try to connect my laptop to the s3, all I get is "waiting for the network." To hopefully simplify things, I've made the s3 an open connection. I spoke with Samsung support, suggested that I do a hard reset. Did that, no change, only suggestion was to exchange the handset. I did that, EXACT same problem! The laptop has never had a problem connecting with ANYTHING before, including my old TP2. USB tethering works.
Any ideas?
can another laptop connect to ur s3?

Yes, you can pretty easily do this by using android wired tether http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/detail?name=wired_tether_1_4.apk it does require root. If your not rooted check out Clockworkmod tether http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour..._YDoDQ&usg=AFQjCNFQEtmLKMRHZOD7WLCQsCFqiCIXvA.

Hm.... as we know, it supports OTG, problem is, this thing isn't simple input device like mouse and keyboard... main question is, do you have proper driver of your USB router for android?

Some Huawei modems seems to work with Android. If I turn sim lock off then I can cennect it to any usb router but a router might be different from a phone
I'm not sure if it is safe, because the modem can draw too much power from the S3. Your should try using an AC powered USB hub.
Man, you're asking a question and you're not in the Q&A section, doesn't that just feel wrong?
