Not sure but i know you can use your phone to tether to your pc.. So your pc would be using your phones 3g connection

As above. There's an option in more settings beneath bluetooth to provide wifi hotspot using your phone's network connection. Set that up, and connect your pc to the hotspot.
It would only give you the speed you can get on your phone though. No broadband connection but usable.

Ad-hock networks?

I am running a windows 7 laptop (ASUS G73JH-A1) and I set up an ad-hock network, pretty standard stuff, I share my internet on it...
But the SGS2 (Litening 2.2 ROM) doesn't show those networks. Any way to fix this?
There's a sticky in the GS2 general section that you might want to read

I suppose you mean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066102 ?
Sorry, it's been a long day, I'll check it out...
EDIT: The people there seem to talk about issues with unstable connections, I can't get the phone to even recognize any connection...
You'll have to apologize, this is all mostly new to me.
Android doesn't support ad-hoc I'm afraid.

Issues with OS X tethering?

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?

[Q] WiFi Tethering

Hey guys! Today I knew about the existence of rooting your cellphone. (I rooted mine just now)
Now I've tried some of the things you could do with a rooted phone and now I'm just curious... Can
you really surf the internet for free using WiFi Tethering? Can someone teach me how to do it?
Is there an app that you need? By the way I am using Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300.
Thanks!

Ad hoc wifi not working

Hello.
I'm at my summer house right now and have no router here. Laptop has a mobile broadband adapter with no bandwidth limit. Therefor I would like to share that connection to my S3 to save data on my phones plan.
Problem: S3 cannot see the wifi network regardless of security or ssid. I have done this hundreds of times with this computer and other phones (O2X and iPhone 4S). I really don't understand what's wrong...
Windows 7 on the computer and stock rooted rom on the phone.
Please help me from having to pay for unnecessary bandwidth :beer:

Will try!
It's a pro feature to share mobile. I don't feel like paying to share what I'm already paying for.

Connectify
I'm using Connectify, but I have some problems with it. It often drops Wi-Fi connection on phone side. The only solution is to restart hotspot on computer. Kinda sucks when dealing with larger files. Are there any similar alternatives?

Weird, I used connectify to share my 3g broadband but it was ~2 years ago so thigs may have changed since then...
And after googling around I found out that inablity to see ad-hoc networks is an android "limitation".
I remember using ad-hoc networks back in day with gingerbread though and it was a mod back then too, not sure if there is mods for newer android versions to access ad-hoc networks.

You are asking a question in the wrong forum .
Do you have mobile data enabled?

I don't know for sure but i think that you can't get internet from wireless and at the same time use wireless tethering. If you want to tether via wireless you have to get internet from mobil data.

I think it's impossible. When you in tether mode your phone using Internet connection through the mobile data.
