Hi
Is it possible to access LAN from an Android phone that is acting a hotspot (i.e router)?
I can ping the phone but I can't ping any other device on the network.
I want to print to a network printer to my phone, or exchange files with PC.

I would like to be able to connect my phone to my galaxy 10.1 tablet (not to internet share) over wifi to enable me to use lazydroid's application to remotely view the phone screen on the tablet. I DO NOT want to share the internet to the tablet but want to maintain internet connection on the phone only.
I was thinking that this could be doable by setting up an ad hoc connection on the thunderbolt thereby allowing my tablet to connect to it but can't seem to get this to work while keeping the 3g/4g data network active. Does anyone have any help or suggestions?
Thanks!
Greetings!
Is it possible (is there an application for it maybe) to create ADHOC network on android mobile phone that DOES NOT share mobile's phone internet connection? PC client with internet will connect to mobile's phone access point and share its internet with the phone!
My situation is as follows:
I have a PC with Win7 Ultimate! Modem that connects to the internet is Huawei cable ADSL (non-wireless). It is configured in BRIDGE mode and set in windows to share its internet connection! I have integrated WiFi - AP b/g card on my motherboard.
I have configured the ADHOC network with WEP encryption on my PC, so my other devices (laptop and my mobile phone, which is HTC HD2 with ANDROID ROM) can connect to my PC and have internet access!
THIS CONFIGURATION, for some reason, DOES NOT work. My laptop and my mobile phone, who are clients, CAN'T CONNECT to my PC ADHOC network! They can detect the network, however they get stuck at "acquiring network address".
My laptop has Win7 Home Edition, so, I have created ADHOC network on him with WEP encryption. Both my PC and my mobile phone, CAN detect the laptop's access point and CAN CONNECT TO IT! My PC (client) then shares his internet connection with laptop (AP) and my mobile phone (client)!
So, in order to have internet through WiFi with my phone, I have to turn on PC and my laptop.
Since I can't connect with my mobile phone on my PC's ADHOC network, I want to try the opposite. I want the mobile phone to be an ADHOC access point WITHOUT internet connection, and my PC will act as a client WITH shared internet access!
Is this possible? If yes, is there an application that can do this (other applications on the market, for example: Barnacle WiFi Tether can create ADHOC network, but WITH internet sharing... I need without)!
I have set up a simple server on my computer that's connected to the WiFi network. I can access the site through the computer's browser and I can also access it on an iOS device that's connected to the same network. However, I am unable to connect to it on my Android device. Are there any special steps required for me to get this to work properly?
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.
I want to host an INFRASTRUCTURE (not AD-HOC), otherwise known as a SoftAP (Access point) on wifi. This is possible with many applications, but they all want to use a mobile data connection. Is there any application that allows you to host a SoftAP WITHOUT a 2G/3G/4G connection? This is just for playing over WIFI between a samsung galaxy s3 and an older android 2.1 tablet. These cannot see AdHoc networks.
Anyways, I'm interested in any application that allows hosting of an infrastructure WiFi network without tethering to just host a wireless lan point.

I am also very interested in a solution/app like this.
A photo app (MoPhotos) will work with my EyeFi WiFi card to transfer photos from the card in my camera to my computer/Android device via Wifi.
Currently, the card has to go through the home router as that what it looks for to give it a IP Address and network to connect to the computer/Android.
If there is a way for the Android device to be a Wifi HotSpot without the mobile tethering, I can configure the card to talk directly to the Android, which would be *very* helpful when out and about.
