Hi,
I often find myself in environments (mainly hotel rooms) where I have a wired Internet connection but no wifi.
I was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to have my Xperia use USB to get its internet access through a laptop (XP or Win7). I've looked elsewhere in XDA, and found many other questions but few answers.
I know that the last resort is travelling with a router but that's undesirable and I'd like to avoid that solution if possible. Having the laptop act as the access point could be a workable solution but I have no idea how to do that without buying third party software.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Is therenot any software that alliws the laptop to become a router if it is using ethernet cable?
I dont know, just a guessw

Reverse USB tethering is really the only thing I miss from Windows Mobile days...

There's Connectify for Windows 7 that turns the PC into a virtual WiFi hotspot, it works well most of the times.

Anyone know a way to accomplish this using windows vista?
I'm looking to access PC's internet and pass it to the Phone. Is this possible for our phones?
There are a number of cheap usb wifi adapters that can double as access points.
I'm guessing you have a laptop with mobile internet?

I have wifi at home but at work, I get no signal (data or voice) and wondering if I can connect via USB. I don't have wifi at work.
Yeah they'd probably have issue with you wirelessly broadcasting their internet.
Bluetooth however would work and is cheap. And won't interfere with the network at all.
I've read else where on xda that people have gotten it to work, but the only instructions were for linux, and I got a feeling your work computer is xp.
How easy? Alot depends on the operating system and bluetooth adapter.

Wondering if theres anyway i can use my phone with a wired connection to a pc without wifi. Is there anyway i can do it via bluetooth or via usb cable. And i have a network RJ45 port around me if i get an adapter would it be possible to plug it into my phone then use the internet?
Cheers

There's always a way mate!
Detailed guide plus apps, both for phone and PC.
It's called reverse Android tethering
Also there's a stock app that can do that using usb, I think it was called something like settings

You're right, it's easy on SGS2, just use Settings

Cheers
Wireless connection or whatever it is, and in there tethering or whatever. Sorry, I'm too lazy to change language to english

i was looking at the tethering setting but isnt that using my phones internet on my pc not the other way around?
Yes, seems that I understood your first post wrong, I think ur looking for reverse thether although I don't get it why some1 would like to share his computers internet via usb to his phone

I just bought my S3 not too long ago and have noticed that I can't seem to tether to my MacBook Pro under OS X, but it seems to work fine under Windows. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and if there was a fix? Loving the phone but it's really a deal breaker for me if this is a consistent issue. Thanks!

What do you mean by "tether" ? Are you trying to get network connection going through the S3 on your mac via USB tether? Or are you talking about file transfer?

Hm.... as we know, it supports OTG, problem is, this thing isn't simple input device like mouse and keyboard... main question is, do you have proper driver of your USB router for android?

Some Huawei modems seems to work with Android. If I turn sim lock off then I can cennect it to any usb router but a router might be different from a phone
I'm not sure if it is safe, because the modem can draw too much power from the S3. Your should try using an AC powered USB hub.
Man, you're asking a question and you're not in the Q&A section, doesn't that just feel wrong?
