How to connect to PC's internet from usb or wifi ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Does anybody know how to use the internet of pc through s3 phone?
I dont mean usb thethering, the opposit...
Because when i want to use vpn in my phone there is a problem...
My play store after minutes says connection timeout, i looked for it and i found it is because of lack of encryption and SSL, so when i check the ppp encryption in my vpn account in settings, the connection never establishes. So i want to use my internet through pc which has encryption to run play store.
Using ad-hoc access points is pointless because it is not supprted
I also used mhotspot but seems that internet is not shared using this app although many have used this app...
So i will be gratefull if someone comes with a solution or tips...

if you search on the market for reverse tether I'm fairly certain it throws up a result or two as someone else asked this and I remember looking into it

Just checked, there's a couple of apps there

Use connectify on your pc..windows 7 and up..to create a wireless network (wifi)

Reverse thether needs root and i dont want to root for official updates
And connectify uses ad-hoc

Suggestions/Apps for direct access to my network without Wifi

I downloaded ES File Explorer and it works great. However when Im away from my Wifi I would still like to connect to my home network using 4g if need be. I do not want to use Dropbox, All share but would like to somehow use ES File Explorer with the FTP option. Are there any recommendations you guys have or any apps?
Try smart ftp I'm sure it's still free or better yet what version of windows are you running u could just enable iis

That's what vpn is for.
Many routers support Vpn Server capabilities out of the box. And even if yours does not, there is a high chance DD-Wrt can run on it.
Alternativerly you'd need to keep your computer running with a vpn-server on it.

My router doesn't support it, but I can get DD-WRT on it. However I will be getting better router soon (Asus RT-n66u) which should have it on there. Thanks for the help guys.
Also is there a app you can get to control your PS3 from your phone using bluetooth?

[Q] Sharing computer internet connection with phone...

Hey guys, I need to pick your collective brains. I had an HTC a while back and when I connected it to my computer it gave me an option to "share computer internet connection with phone" and I'm needing this in my life at the moment... Essentially I am unable to connect to the WiFi network nearby with my phone but apparently my laptop's Wi-Fi radio is bigger (and stronger) and able to establish a connection. I know it's archaic but I'd like to share that connection with my cell phone. Is anyone aware of an app that can do this or a way to work this out? I also have a tablet I'd like to do this with as well. Any and all help/advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You can create a pc to pc wireless connection. But you need 2 wireless connections on your computer ,i do this all the time at work where you cant get wifi only wired. Basic it will just set your pc as a access point . check out winodws share internet connection

It depends on what items you have... Do you have a router?? If so, do the following:
Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clicking Manage network connections.
Right-click the connection that you want to share, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click the Sharing tab, and then select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection check box.
Once this is done, hook up your wireless router to your PC, and go ahead and set it up. Choose an SSID that is unique and not a cloned name of the connection you just shared. Once this is done, connect all your wireless devices to the newly set up router. The PC will read these connections, and port them through your WiFi that you are connected to.

There is a very easy way depending on what os your running. Do you have windows 7?

The poster above can probably help you with Q1
for Q2 you may want to try VPN services or proxy services.
Orbot is a reputable service. May also want to check out The Guardian Project (which Orbot is a part of)

Orbot has the option to use root to route ALL network traffic through Orbit. Definitely a good app.
I also use DroidWall for some protection on public networks, like really untrusted networks, what I'll do is disable connections from all apps except what I want to do (eg. Chrome browser).
Both apps are free from Play Store, you should check them out.

Sorry i edited my post,
My device is Not rooted. Yup b'coz i am afraid of void warranty..
Is there something for Non Root device?
You can still use Orbot with Firefox proxy extension and/or Orweb without root, that's all I can say.
Hope this helps

Smart Remote requires internet connection?

I remember on my lg g pro I could use the remote application without internet connection but for some reason Samsung won't let you use the remote without connecting to the internet for a cable show schedule update. What if we don't have internet , why would they limit the use of the ir remote... Anyone have a solution to using the remote when you have no connection ?
Who is your cable provider?

I dont have wifi and it works fine. I Posted a screen shot. Is this what your talking about. It's just asking to use your phone data to use the remote. Press OK and follow the setup.
