Are you trying house the laptops internet on the S2. Because the S2 only lets you use the 3G from the S2 to connect to the laptop. One way tether if you know what I mean.

How are you trying to accomplish tethering? What exact model phone do you have? What country are you in? Who is your carrier? Do they allow tethering?
You need to provide more information.

Hello guys,
I'm sorry if the reply to my question was already posted by I was unable to find it here or through google search.
I'm new to the Android world so this might be very easy to achieve although I was unable to find it.
I'm trying to connect my SGS2 stock KE7 to the internet through my PC. I wanted to connect the phone with the data cable to a usb port on my laptop and then route all the traffic. I went through the options but couldn't find anythign that could achieve this.
Can someone, please, give me some pointers?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Just go in to wi-fi settings and set up a hotspot. Your phone now works as a "wireless router/modem" and your computer should detect your wi-fi hotspot created by the phone
I thought Wifi/usb Tethering was to allow other devices to connect to the internet through your phone.
computer -> phone -> internet
And I want to achieve the opposite, Connecting to the internet with my phone by going through a laptop/workstation.
phone -> computer -> internet

This is a bit off-topic, and I may have misunderstood your question, but this might be what you are looking to do -
1. Setup your computer in wifi adhoc sharing mode, so that any other wireless device can find that network.
2. Use your phone as the wifi device to connect to that network.
This is pretty easy - just setup a wifi network.
Many videos available on youtube -
Again, this is just one way of doing what I think you want to do-

What if wireless is not available?
Is it possible to reverse tether a phone to use a PC's internet connection via a USB cable?

Don't think that you can use the network over the usb cable it is not designed for that, may be someone else may know a bit more.
Theoretically a proxy agent app on pc should be able to do what you want above, over the usb cable, but it is better to use a wireless modem instead.

Ok, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I often find myself in the situation where I do not have phone signal or wireless available :-/
Maybe I should invest in a wireless access point to carry around with me!
Yeah, it's a pity. There are a couple of scenarios where this would be useful for me.
Thanks anyway for replying to my question.
AFAIK this a HTC sense only feature as i remember having this on my HTC desire
What I use is an Edimax Wireless USB adapter - EW-7711UAn. The hardware works really well, the software works well once it is set-up, but configuring XP to share its network connection through this is a bit tricky
This may help, I am sure there is similar for Vista Windows 7 around on the Internet

Heres the explanation of how to do it (sorry it's in Portuguese, but google translator will do the trick!

Hello Everyone! I want to use my Laptop's internet connection via usb cable using my Dell Streak. So I searched for an app that will enable me to do that. While I'm searching and reading all the stuffs that I think that will be the answer to my question, I stumbled upon the word Tether/Tethering.
In which will enable your computer/Laptop to use your Mobile Device's Internet plan or 3g connection. However, what I really wanted was the reverse of this process. I want to use my Laptop's Internet connection. From my laptop connection through USB? or Bluetooth, then to my Dell Streak. So I can surf the Internet using my Mobile device.
I searched the forums already and learned that the latest post for this topic was last 2008. I hope there is already a solution to do this.
Everyone, If you know any apps that I can use please do tell me. Thank you very much!
there aren't any that I know of plus I think it would need to be computer prog not android
There are guides to do it in linux but you need to do it manually I think.
http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
You'll be needing to set up a local network via the wireless connection on your PC.
If you are already on the internet via wifi on the PC, why not use the wifi on the streak?
If you are hooked up via Ethernet/other cable, then broadcasting the connection on the PC's wifi is fairly simple.
Hope this helps.

he wants to do it via usb or bluetooth..
I was able to do this with Linux, but it was a pain and some programs couldn't access the internet. I think only the browser worked.
Would be difficult with usb.It might be easier if you use bluetooth or wifi.
Just go ahead and setup your ad-hoc network or soft-ap on your pc,and make sure you have inter access sharing service or similar software running.
I would recommend you use a wifi soft-ap,it's super easy to setup on winxp/2k/2k3.

Some networks don't let you use your laptop etc..to connect to the internet via your phone unless you pay extra.
My ace is locked to three there is a option in setting to Tether via usb or wifi but no mater winch setting i use it will not work.
However on my old HTC HD touch generic i can connect my usb cable to my laptop and go on-line with the same sim. Iam going to try and branded my ace once i know how.

Not share you Phone internet, but PC internet to Phone.
CHEERS!
What about sharing the connection by WiFi? Through Ad-Hoc?
I know that there's an option in Linux, but I'm not so sure for Windows.
Rufus87
Try to download Connectify and turn your laptop into access point (if your wifi card supports it). Anyway, buying wifi access point is the best solution.
adeklipse
In Windows he can set up ad hoc network, but Ace doesn't support it. I tried to look for working edited wpa_supplicant file, but i didn't find it.
Devs any hope for this yet?

Virtual WiFi adapter for Windows 7
You could also change your WiFi adapter into a virtual WiFi Miniport and share the internet connection if you have windows 7.. It acts as a Wireless access point and also please note that your hardware should support in order to create a virtual WiFi.. Just follow these instructions..
http://mintywhite.com/windows-7/set-windows-7-wifi-hotspot-quick-tip/
+1 mr., been +1ing twice tonight.. I also had this issue, decided to stop my ace's data plan and my brother had a decent connection on the desktop. Sadly it was our all time fav Win XP and we're too lazy to add a WIFI/WLAN card to it.
Maybe having a Terminal Emulator (since we can't do any adb commands when tethering) to establish an interface/eth0, activating the USB tether (not the wireless) and configuring a connection on the Windows would help? I've tried that, but met no luck on Windows part.
I used reverse usb tethering on galaxy mini before purchase ace. Its simple script to give usb0 ip address and some setting on gateway, dns.
Okay,
what I want is very simple (on HTC devices), internet share with USB cable. I have tried CellPhone Manager, PDANet program, noone works with win7 64bit. Its now 2 days that Im trying to find a solution, but i didnt...
Please dont tell me that the phone of the year is so stupid and it sucks me cos its impossible to connetc to the internet with USB cable
Well if you got WiFi in pc
Well,If you got WiFi on your PC.You can share you're Internet right away!!

does anyone got a solution for reverse tethering ?
i had a htc wildfire S and it has an option "Relais internet" it appears auto when usb cable connected. it connects my phone to computers internet.
Iam really so disappointed to don't see this feature on SGS2
and PLZZZZZZZZZ for people who ask why don't use wifi.
well I have a 3G connexion in my computer ( no rooter just a usb 3G network adapter). and my computer wireless card intel 4965AGN IT DOESNT SUPPORT hosted network which means no way to create a wifi hotspot (or use connectify or virtual rooter because its the same thing as creating a hosted network)
ad-hoc network can't be detected also with my sgs2 with official firmware JB 4.1.2 (XWLSD)
could anyone help please.
Thank you

Well there was a "reverse tether" app...
I had it but haven't tried it anytime coz I don't have internet on my PC anymore...so don't know for sure if it works..
It might just work for you...
I know this is very frustrating..has happened to me too when I had just purchased the phone...hadn't got any solution at that time so ended up purchasing a WiFi router..
Press thanx if I helped...

Hi,
I have the strangest problem:
there is some sort of a problem in the combination of my phone and my laptop (Dell 5110N with Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030).
If i enable tethering on my phone, and connect to it on my laptop, internet browsing doesnt work, but every other program that uses the internet seems to be working - say Dropbox keeps uploading files.
I've tried on 3 different internet browsers, and the problem is only local to my specific phone (my laptop works wifi with other tethering phones) and other devices (say my friend's galaxy s3) seems to be able to browse the internet while being tethered to my phone.
I literary have no idea whats going on and what can be dont to solve it, i'd love to get some help if possible.
thanks alot!

To make sure it is not a DNS problem you should try with ICMP from your notebook:
1. does ping gmail.com work ?
2. does ping 173.194.35.53 work ?
If one of these does not work, install LanDroid from Google Play and try the pings from your phone.
