Hi Guys. Need a little help.
Scenario: I have a wired ADSL connection in my home for internet. I have Windows 7 on my PC installed. I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G WiFi card in my PC as well.
Now, I want to share my PC's ADSL connection with my Vibrant through my WiFi card.
So far, I have failed to achieve it. I have tried doing it the TP-Link way by establishing a Soft AP through a software provided by them, but no success. I have tried connectify, no luck here either. My vibrant detects the network but never connects to it...
Any help, what so ever will be really appreciated...
Easiest way, get a $30 router at your local store. Will save you a headache. Otherwise bridge your wired and wireless connection using windows.

Well what you will need to do is allow ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the wired NIC card and allow other users to share the connection. It should DHCP the wired NIC and assign your wireless card an IP address like 192.168.137.1 and Subnet of 255.255.255.0.
Actually I don't want to buy a new router, want to use my WiFi card. And it is possible through it, so I think I should not spend money on a router...
I have tried everything... ICS is not working... Connectify is not working either...
There is some way of doing it through Adhoc network, I read somewhere but I have also read that Adhoc network is not supported in Android...
If someone can help, that would be great...
Odd because I'm doing ICS via Windows 7 and mine works perfectly..
***Edit...you might have to add in the default gateway ip and primary dns server ip on the wireless card for it to look for your wired NIC
just right click on your wired NIC and go to status and then details
Hmm... I am going to try this but do I share the internet with my WiFi card or the Virtual WiFi Miniport?
You share the wired NIC "allow other users to connect " it will act as your DHCP server and assign an address to your wireless card
Nothing is happening for me...
My Vibrant detects the WiFi AP but does not connect to it... It evens show the signal strength to be "Excellent" but does not connect to it...
Man... Its really frustrating when you can not get something to work...
So it just wont connect period?? Not even to network? Or will it connect and just no internet.... Hmmmmm
It just wont connect. Period...
Thanks for your willingness to help though...
Google "set up adhoc windows 7" to get your wireless set up properly, then should be easy. Keep it simple at first. Broadcast ssid and one you will recognize, and no password to eliminate any problems. Once configured and workinggo back and set up a password.

I have tried this Ad Hoc connection as well but I have read somewhere that Android does not support Ad Hoc connection. If there is some way around, please do tell me...
Finally... Got it working guys...

I have an option in my HTC Mozart to share internet but when enabling it and connect to it with my laptop (ThinkPad with Windows 7) internet doesn't work. Laptop is connecting with success but there is no internet available. I was trying to set DNS manually but it don't work either.
Is there any way to fix this?
ps. I just installed Tango update but it doesn't help me

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just disable the LAN cards/adapters of your PC/Laptop without WiFi adapter...
HI,
I have seen thread with the same problems but im not able to find a permanent solutions in all these threads
problem: I have HTC explorer, i have a wifi connection in my home of CISCO router. My laptop with windows 7 is able to connect to the wifi and im able to access the internet. When i connect my mobile to it, wifi gets connected but im not able to access internet.
So i tried giving static IP, which worked fine but only temporarily. Now when i give static IP im not able to access internet. Even though my computer and mobile ip settings are same
I do not have much technical knowledge about wifi networks, so please can someone tell me what exactly to do to solve this isse. I have been having this problem from the last two months. it will be of great help
Hi,
I have HTC Mozart, OS ver. 7.10.8107.79, and have problem with Internet sharing over wifi to my iPad.
I successfully set up Internet sharing and connect my tablet to my phone and everything seems fine, but when I try to enter any web page on iPad I get error 504 bad gateway in my browser. On the same time I can use Internet explorer on Mozart, so I'm sure that I hv Internet connection. I would check for updates, but I'm in train at the moment, and need tethering right now :/ anyone knows the solution?
Hi,
I have a wireless router that allows me to plug in a Hard drive / SD Card etc. It can be a bridge to another network or an Access Point etc but can also just be a LAN without an internet connection allowing access to the connected devices.
This works perfectly on my Nexus tablet / PC etc, however, on my Mate 20 Pro, the connection is unstable to the point of not being able to use it. I get a notification saying the WiFi connection doesn't have an internet connection I press connect anyway and from there it keeps dropping and reconnecting the connection.
If I plug the router into a network point and give it an internet connection it works perfectly on the Mate 20 and any other devices.
I think this is some clever connection manager thing Huawei is doing to try to connect to the internet but can't find a way to stop it. I am going travelling and wanted to only take the router and my phone however it is looking like I will need to take my tablet too to use it for what I need.
I've searched and searched the internet and here for clues but nothing so I am hoping someone has an idea.
Thanks
Andrew
