Yup, you got it right. Due to slow 3G connection, it takes a long time to downloading anything at less than 5kb/s.
I know most people use Phone->PC, but I want the reverse. Transfer PC internet to Phone via USB, because I do not have a router.

It's possible but not by using USB....but using this program you can create an hot-spot and share your PC's line....

do you want to share your pc line with your phone?
Either via USB or Bluetooth, yes. I could also walk around and find a good wi-fi spot where I could download X apps at X speed, but if there is a way to do it home, even better.

so you can use this program: http://www.connectify.me/features/?refid=...
with it you can create easily a connection wich uses your LAN CABLE to connect your GS2 without bluethoot or USB!!! After you set the program in your PC go to your phone, turn on your wifi and the magic is made!!! you will find a new connection(the one you create with connectify program)!!:good:

Dude. He said he doesn't have wifi on his PC. Connectify NEEDS some sort of wifi to create a hotspot.
OP, look up "reverse tether".

Perhaps your extensive technical experience can explain how a computer or network that does NOT have wifi can possibly create a hotspot while missing the requisite hardware to transmit a wifi signal.
Just use reverse tether. Simple

Hi
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?

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.

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.
can Hero get on internet through a PC/Laptop with a usb cable?
I know wm allows you to do so.
I used to enjoy that function when i used a wm device because I do not have wifi in both home and office. And I have only a limited data plan.
Help/answer appreciated.
Try PDAnet

Thanks skauk, but Dave is right. I want the other way round.
PC/Laptop connecting to internet via my Hero (mobile network sharing) can be done without any software i believe.
But in fact I want the phone to go to internet via PC/Laptop as I only have limited data plan.
Help is appreciated.
Nice font color
I don't think you can do this via a USB cable.
What does work is: Get a wireless access point and have your desktop share its internet connection over wlan. Better usability than a plugged in USB cable, too

In networking, "ad hoc" is used to describe a (temporary) network between two equal devices. That is without any centralised access point or anything like that.

It's true that untill GB (if I recall correctly) Android doesn't support this type of connection, but it doesn't matter since Connectify creates a regular network (i.e. turns your computer or laptop to a wireless router) istead of creating ad-hoc network, therefore, you should use Connectify

Its quite simple.
there's two ways to do this.
1. Install PDAnet software from the android market in your phone and install the same in your PC. connect the USB cable from your phone to the PC and enable USB tether in PDAnet software. You will have a PDAnet icon in the systems tray in the your PC, right click on it and click on connect. You will be connected to the internet. that's it.
2. This is quite simple compared to other one. install Barnacle USB tether. Keep in mind that this software will work only if your phone's rooted. Install this software from android market. what this software does is that it will make your phone a portable hotspot, it becomes a wireless Router. you can give it a name to your network also enable encryption. turn the wireless on in your PC, scan and connect, you are good to go. you are on internet.
I use the second method, its very easy and simple.
Please don't forget to say thanks, if you like my post.

is there a way to do it wirelessly?
im really battling hear...phone cant find IP host address ((
I tried PDANet with USB but cannot because alarm " Connect fail" ?
Very useful app for people with no mobile data plans and no wifi available but got unlimited bandwidth on pc,like me
Now no more hassle with reverse tethering,just a few simple clicks and we are done.Thought to share this since it works good on my Neo V
ReverseTether allows you to access your computer's internet connection on your device via USB, thus, reverse tethering. It's the first and only app of its kind on the Market, no other app does such a thing.
This app may be useful for you if:
- if you don't have a mobile data plan.
- if you have a limited plan and would like to spare your bytes and money whenever you're at home/work/school.
- if you're roaming and would like to avoid roaming data charges.
- if you prefer speed and want an internet that is faster* than any wifi/3g/4g/lte. (*as fast as your modem)
- if you don't have access to wifi / don't need wifi just for your device.
- if you don't trust the security/privacy of your wifi network.
- if your wifi connection is weak, slow or keeps disconnecting.
- if you're sick of eating terrible food at burger places just for wifi access.
- if you would like to access your local network from your device for backups or storage.
Basically, since you're already connected to usb to recharge or sync, why not also have a super fast, unlimited, secure internet connection for no additional charges, for whatever reason, like sync your mail, contacts or calendars, download and update apps, pre-cache maps, use online-only apps/games, etc...
Key features:
- You'll be able to connect to the internet via USB with a single click. No advanced skills required whatsoever.
- The connection will appear on your device as 3G so that all apps including Market function seamlessly as if you're actually connected to 3G.
- It will first guide you in 2 easy steps to setup your computer for it to work.
- No pc-side software installation is needed at all.
- It provides an option to automatically connect as soon as you plug in USB.
- To disconnect, simply unplug USB. To connect again, plug back USB. Voila. Easy.
- A manual configuration option is also available for advanced users.
This app requires:
- A ROOTED android device
- A Tether option in your device.
- A desktop/laptop computer with your device drivers installed (and ability to edit Network Connections, no extra software needed)
- An internet connection
- Patience - a connection may take a few seconds to a few minutes to get established, since there's no direct way to do it but through this trick.
All app permissions are only needed to establish the connection.
Limitations:
This is a functional trial app that never expires. The one limitation is that you can only connect to the internet in the afternoon and in the late evening, but you can stay online for as long as you want. If you enjoy it please consider purchasing the non-limited version of ReverseTether also available here on Market.

This app is more suited for people with those conditions mate

XDA will ban you if post links to or help people fing illigetimate/illegal copies of apps etc.

For those that explained to me that this app is useful for those without wifi on their computer, can you think of another way other than usb cable to connect the phone to the computer.
(Bluetooth is the only thing that springs to mind, but that is so awful i would rafther be tied to the computer with a usb cable than deal with crappy bluetooth)

For one, it is an excellent way to download large game's data or other large files as it is far more reliable and faster way than using wifi.
So please stop being such shortsighted by telling people here what's good or bad for them just because you can't seems to see what can be done by using this app.

Not that I know of but if your PC is connected to the internet via Ethernet and has wireless capabilities there is an app called connectify that can turn your PC into a wireless hot spot .
I haven't played with it, but if bluetooth is fully functional and you have bluetooth on your PC, it should be doable. I have done the reverse with my Droid3. Maybe the mobile devices don't have the "host" piece and unfortunately I can't say for certain, but hopefully someone else can chime in and confirm or deny my thoughts. If nobody else can provide info, I'll play tomorrow and see what I can come up with.
Edit: I may be wrong. Based on the screenshots from this thread, it doesn't look like the networking profile is an option.
