hi fellows
i just installed a 4g device in my laptop for internet access. It working fine. Next i made the laptop a hotspot via adhoc connection and after that though internet is fine but i am unable to connect my samsung sii via wifi with it. Even though a friends iphone connected to my lappys hotspot but my phone doesn't and neither does it show that a hotspot/ wifi connections exists.
help
Ad Hoc was designed only for local connections, not Internet.
Use Connectify to make hotspot.

You need to setup a virtual router or if your laptop has a router you can share net via that, originally custom roms does not support ad hoc, but certain roms are modified to enable it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Router has wlan infrastructure mode, not adhoc. It doesn't matter if the ROM supports it or not.

Hi,
I have a Sony VAIO with Windows 7 & DLNA.
I have a Galaxy S2.
What i dont have is a WiFi Router. I am yet to get it.
Can anyone tell me if its possible to connect my laptop and Phone somehow without a Wifi router?
I was reading that I can transfer I could transfer file to phone without USB connection. Not sure how
Also Can i create a HotSpot in phone and make the PC connect to that Wifi hotspot?
I tried Connectify on Windows 7 but it never worked. It was never able to create a network for some reason
Thanks and looking forward for your inputs

Go to settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> Then select "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" - From this you can set up a Wi-Fi network that uses your mobile internet.
Once you've set this up connect to the wireless network via your laptop and launch the app called "Kies air". From there you can transfer files without the need of the usb connector...
To use DLNA you need a wireless network, i wouldn't recommend using the portable Wi-Fi hotspot for it.
Thank you very much Stylee32 this helps
hope i will get my WiFi router soon
Edit: I tried this solution. Got my PC connected to Mobile. But the url which Kies Air gave didnt work
Edit 2: Finally it worked. Thank you so much
No problem at all, glad i could help
I've just got a S2 but i'm new to Android.
One of my major disapointements is the lack o AdHoc WIFI support, is there any way to get my phone to connect to my PC AdHoc network in order to share the pc internet connection ?
I've used to do this with windows mobile since version 6.
Still no news ??
Lack of Wifi AdHoc support is for me a major flaw on android.
I two would like to know this.
At work I have my laptop setup with an Ad-hoc wifi connection that my iPhone 4 used to connect to fine.
My GSii wont see it though.
Annoying as I have limited data to use each month and spend all day at work without access to decent wifi.
i hava the same problem please give us any thing to fix it
I just got my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI version. I am able to connect to the internet smoothly with my home WLAN network. However, when I turn on the wifi hotspot from my mobile phone, the tab does not recognize it (WIFI analyzer can though). My Lenovo laptop can see it and connect via it to the internet, so the hotspot itself is working.
I am just wondering if connecting to wifi hotspot is really supported in the tab and/or Android 3.1?
Thank you for your advice in advance
Connecting to an "Access Point" Hotspot works fine, tested it with my Galaxy S. Maybe your phone opens an Ad Hoc network?
thanks. this seems to be right into the point. i use symbian phone running joiku, and it indeed seems to support adhoc mode only. so anyway to enable adhoc wifi connecting support in my tab?
Haven't tried it myself but it seems there is a patch in the development section which enables ad-hoc network detection/connection (Tab needs to be rooted): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123638
Thank you. Now I have managed to make the adhoc wifi connecting work by following the instructions behind the above link
I have a 4g device connected to my inspiron laptop and the internet runs just fine, however i made my laptop a hotspot my creating an adhoc connection.
But my samsung sii doesn't connect to it and neither does it show that a wifi connection to connect exists, my friend has an iphone, and his phone connected immediately to this hotspot, so its working and not working, not sure if i need to check my phone because it does connect to other connections or i need to modify some setting in my laptop just for sii as it works for others

Has anyone been able to connect to a vpn, start wifi tethering, then access the internet with other connected devices?
I connect to a vpn fine on my galaxy s3 mini, start a wifi tether, connect my laptop to the wifi network, but the laptop never connects to the Internet.
A whole lot of people have this problem, and have not been able to find a work around.
I've tried the terminal thingy where you do iptables rputing and stuff, doesn't work, or maybe it was too complicated for me to carry out properly.
Anyone with a solution?
I have a perfectly rooted galaxy s3 mini amd im sure many other devices have this vpn wifi problem.
