Hi All,
I have a old laptop which is not supporting wifi, I am using network cable to connecting internet on the laptop. also I am using wifi modem on my home to share internet to computer and my android mobile.
My question is, can i able to use my android mobile as data card to share wifi connection to my old laptop ???
Thanks,
didnt get you, first you said that your laptop doesnt support Wifi
and again you're saying that u want to share your phone's net via wifi hotspot?
be more specific
Whilst I've never tried to use it the Neo supports USB tethering so yes sharing a connection from phone to the PC through USB should definitely be possible.

I don't think a WiFi router, which you have, will can act as a WiFi receptor, So that is quite hopeless.. But you can still use USB tethering to just connect your phone via USB and get connected to the Internet.

go to Settings>More...>Tethering & portable hotspot> USB tethering

Tethering works both ways as far as I know though I've never tried.

Tethering means that you can use ONLY TO SHARE internet from Android to PC,it's not working to share Internet from PC to Android. (that is called reverse tethering).

How can you use Wi-Fi adapter on old laptop ???
Plug it into the usb.......
It must have one of them right?
Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk
It works exactly like a Bluetooth adapter,insert the bluetooth adapter into usb port,and you have bluetooth on your pc. With wi-fi adapter it's the same thing,insert it in usb port and you'll have wi-fi capabilities (both ways: phone-pc and pc-phone).I'm currently using an usb adapter to share internet from pc to phone.
i think i get what hes asking
is it possable to use the wifi from the phone over usb so not useing data from mobile network
You mean u want to use ur phone as a wifi adapter? There is an app called PdaNet for that.
New version:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pn.helper&hl=en
Old version:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnBkYW5ldCJd(not recommended)
I have been trying to do the same thing but unsuccessfully.
Basically my phone is connected to the internet through wifi, and I want to share this via bluetooth.
The problem seems to be that with android, tethering can only share your 3g/4g but not wifi.
Apparently apps such as pdanet, foxfi, can solve this, but i havent been able to get it to work =(

Hi all
I want to know how tk connect ad-hoc wireleas its really needed??
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It really depends on what you want to connect to with the AD-HOC wireless connection the HD2 uses as some electronic devices do not support AD-HOC like most Sony products for example. But there is a work around. So please post back here with what you are trying to connect to.
I have internet sharing to other so i want to connect the shared internet but the shared wireless does not shown in wireless.

Sorry for the late reply but I think you are looking for WiFi Router for Windows Mobile. There is also a paid WiFi Router app in the Market call WMRouter if I remember correctly. But I use to use the free one all the time and loved it.
I dont think u get my question.
I want to connect the ad-hoc wireless ,when u share internet from ur pc the type of connection is ad-hoc some device cant read this wireless or find it,so the point is by which way i can connect from my hd2 to those type of wireless?
Thank u very much.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ok I think I might understand you question now, and yes I know what AD-HOC is. To put it simply it is a computer to computer connection. Anyway if you are talking about using the AD-HOC connection to put your HD2 online via your computers internet connection then you will have to use a WiFi router and access your home internet connection via Wifi. I don't think you can connect your HD2 any other way to non cellular network, at least that I know of.
Ok
so its microsoft .
thank u very much .
Hi there,
I have encountered some strange problem with my HD2.
I cannot make ad-hoc connections with most laptops, except for maybe one.
This means, I cannot connect to an ad-hoc connection set up on a laptop, nor can I turn my HD2 into a wi-fi router with most computers.
The connection is detected but after trying to connect, it just cycles and eventually windows (tried xp, vista and 7) notices that it cannot connect.
I have read that it may be the case of:
1. IP mapping (but why should this happen if all these laptops did connect with my previous i8000?)
2. WLAN Channels (Whereas I found no way to access/change them on wm6.5)
It's a new HD2 so it's got the pre-installed sharing feature. I also used the wmwifi router trial and downoladed the htc installable router app (tom codon's).
I've searched the forums for 3h allready and found no conclusion - will be really greatful for some hints.
Thanks.

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.
I would like to share my internet connection on my pc with my sgs2 phone.
how can i pass through the internet from the pc to the phone ?
I searched a lot, didn't saw a clear answer regarding this issue... any ideas

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.

That would be awesome, you could have a wifi router everywhere with you (as long as you don't forget to take the usb cable with you), just connect with the usb to a PC that has broadband, and then use the phone's wifi as a dongle.
I am currently in a situation that i would use something like that seeing that i have forgotten my dongle at home.
phone tether
There are a couple of different ways to tether your phone to your pc. One way is to use an app called PDA net, you can get your phone and computer setup through their website in about 2-3 minutes, super easy to use and you don't need to root your phone, the down side is unless you pay for the pro version all "https", secure sites, will only be accessible for a week. If you decide to root or have already rooted, you can download a number of different apps that give you the ability to use your phone as a hot spot without paying monthly to your provider.

=> use this app called FoxFi..its not on the google store..download it from internet..with this u can use the connection to tether via bluetooth in all devices..though, wi-fi routing works only in few..if it doesnt work..then first try this app to reverse tether(Reverse Tether build.2012.04.05.paid - torrents) and then use FoxFi..reply if it works or not..
AT&T detected my foxfi tethering and will now charge me for a 5g tethering package if I continue to use it. Greedy.... What does it matter if I tether? Bunch if nazis...

Guys have any of you u shared your laptops internet connection to the phone? via WiFi or a USB cable? Im sure a smartphone of this generation should be able to do something like this but Im just not able to figure how.
I have an unlimited Internet connection on my PC so it would be nice if I could get the same on my mobile for browsing when home.
Please help.
Not to the phone, but from the phone.
Not sure how you would turn your laptop into a hotspot?
Set up an Ad-Hoc wireless network on your laptop.

Well, tried ad-hoc, it dint work. Tried connectify, that dint work either.
Then got to know about the windows program mhotspot from mhotspot.com. It has turned my laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot through which my mobile can connect to the net through.
Good for those who have a limited or slow data connection on their phone.
connectify works in my laptop
Connectify works perfectly fine for me too... What error do you get, mate?
any tutorial for conectify? noob sorry
