Help wth internet sharing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
i have a Samsung galaxy R with stock 2.3.5 & i was wondering if there is any app / setting that let's u share your PC's broadband connection with android phone via USB cable . the thing is, i have a wired ADSL router at my place (Non-WiFi) so i just simply want to explore my options before i just go ahead & buy the WiFi router. i tried goggling that same but it seems there is no straight forward app that let u do so in Samsung phone, my bro is having HTC explorer & it has option called "Internet pass through" which let u do exactly what i need. any help is highly appreciated
sorry if i posted in wrong section, i'm a newbie here

Hoi,
did you think about Bluetooth-Tethering also ?
On that way you can connect your phone via your pc to the internet.

Use Connectify software to share your wired broadband over Wifi

It's possible to use my Neo via USB cable at my PC and use a WiFi connection to a WiFi router for surfing on my PC?

Thanks, but this tool only routes a GPRS/UMTS connection to WiFi, but we are searching for a tool that routes WiFi through USB (to say it very short) - animelover: correct me, if I'm wrong!
But nevertheless: Thank you!

welll, this enables ur neo as "Access Point" for other wifi enable devices and they will use ur data plan ( on ur device GPRS/UMTS) via it, ultimatly u have to use a wifi dongle ( i dont know whether such thing exist) to access net on PC.

I think the original question can be translated to: How can we use the Prophet as an WIFI dongle?

Did you guys found an answer for that? See if it is the same as my question: I have a notebook with internet (cable) and I want to use my cell phone as a router, to conect another computer via wireless. Is it right?
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=453&more=1
see if it helps
This is exactly the sort of thing I would like to do. All the solutions to date use the Internet sharing directed over the GPRS but not the WIFI if available. I would be happy to connect to it via active sync or bluetooth (the former probably being easier).
Hope somebody finds a tool or a hack to do it as this would be a great addition to the Prophets functionality.

Tg01 as router

Thanks in advance

Connect it to your PC with a USB cable, and make sure the ActiveSync partnership is working (ie, you can browse the phone from within My Computer).
Now head into the Start Menu on your TG01 and click "Internet Sharing". Make sure the PC Connection is set to USB, and the Network Connection is set to your Mobile Network. Hit the Connect button at the bottom.
That's it
Thanks, for your time, but is the way to connect with pc wireless i meant (and i dont want connect bluetooth) so i just wanna know the way to use my tg01 as wifi router.
perhaps with the program called 'wifi router' ?

google might help you out finding another program if that doesn't work. but that's not for free.
best regards

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.

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.

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...

What you are looking for is called Tethering.
You can enable and configure it on your phone in
menu => Settings => Wireless and Network => Tethering and Mobile Hotspot =>
a) USB Tethering, if you want to be connected via USB to your PC, or
b) Configure mobile WLAN hotspot, if you want to connect your PC via WLAN with your phone.
There is also a short help in this settings menu.
Good luck !
^i think what the OP mean is how to share the internet connection of his/her PC to his/her SGS2 (not SGS2 to PC).

So, it is tethering the other way round.
My idea: install and configure a WLAN hotspot on your PC.
I do not know any solution to get it done by using USB cable.
