Hi, I happen to be usually in a place where the network is mac filtered, so I can only connect with my mobile and not with my tablet.
I can't tether wifi to wifi, as it's not possible with the mobile.
The tablet (Pipo S3) doesn't has bluetooth. I haven't been able to change it's mac address, but it could solve the problem if I could find the way.
So, as bluetooth is not an option, the only thing remaining is doing it via usb. I've googled and found a lot of tether apps, but from android to computers, no from android to android via usb.
Does someone know how to do it? Thanks.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get internet from my computer to the vibrant via bluetooth? To be clear, I do NOT want 2G/3G on my computer, I want to share my LAN connection with my phone. I'm deployed to Iraq and I have a wired connection to my computer that I want to share with my phone. I've tried connectify and similar options but they don't seem to work. I've got XP and 7 on the laptop, so if there's an option for either it'll work.
Thanks in advance.
Using bluetooth would be slow. You'll want to create an adhoc wireless network on your computer. Here's how to in XP:

Edit: This is, if you have wireless on your computer.
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Maybe this is the incorrect forum, but I am looking for a way to share a wifi connection through a wifi connection. I am playing out tomorrow for vacation and would like to use the inflight wifi. However, I don't want to pay for my computer, my phone, and my wife's computer. Is there an app for Android that could connect to the inflight wifi and then share that connect via wifi (or maybe BlueTooth?) to our computers. Or maybe one of our computers (OS X or Windows 7) to connect via wifi and then share out that wifi?
Your Windows PC should be your safest bet:

Sharing Internet via wifi
i connected my blackberry bold 9780 to my laptop and i use it as a modem. i then used virtual router to share the 3G connection to my motorola xoom wifi. i can go online using google chrome just fine but all the other other apps, whether default or downloaded, refuse to connect online. im wondering if it's an adapter setting that i need to adjust or something. p,lease help. i am very frustrated at not bein able to use internet depending apps. it breaks my heart.
Is it possible to share PC internet connection on my X10Mini via USB cable, because I don't have WiFi router. I saw something with Netfilter is this about that kind of tethering? Thanks.
why dont you try easytether from the market? you have to use the usb cable for it to work.
Or barnacle wifi tether and use your wifi from your phone.
PS:you are using your phone as a modem right?
You misunderstood me obviously, I want to use Internet connection from PC on my mobile phone because I can't connect to my PC beacuse I don't have WiFi router, so is it possible to share the internet connection from my PC to my mobile phone via USB cable
I myself googled a lot to discover the method you are saying. but its little bit complicated
for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538222
and it is called reverse-tethering
My method i use is to have wifi. share the modem or network from the windows pc and connect the phone via wifi and then browse the internet.
other than that, mmmm.... i dont know.
I have been trying to connect my SGS2 internet to the PC using wirless hotspot, but all the time it shows limited accesses on my PC and no way i can connect to internet? If anyone know the solution, Please let me know?
I am on stock ROM rooted with CF root!
I have a similar problem with limited access. Usually I manually switch (I have a wifi on/off switch) my laptops wifi off and on again and it usually fixes the problem.
The wifi hotspot does give me problems when trying to connect to all versions of Windows and Linux. Am hoping to find a solution by searching through these forums.
