Hello, today I have an idea.
think we are using faster internet on our phone from pc! ( keep reading, I am not talking about WiFi or USB reverse tethering)
Many times we go in internet cafe and want to share cafe's internet on our android devices, when we try to start hotspot, we find that hotspot( even WiFi card) is not available in cafe's pc.
if we can connect one android to pc by USB cable, start hotspot in that android and use pc's internet on other devices with WiFi!!!!!
how it will work:
send data to hotspotted device, it send data to pc, pc send data( obtained from web) to hotspotted device it send data to our other devices and so on...
so is it possible?

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.
Bought Spice Mi-350 in India, having Android 2.3.3 Version. I need to use my PC Internet connection for browsing and using Android market on my phone (Without wi-fi). Please help...
Please help
Please help. I have already rooted my phone with Superoneclick. Downloaded a Terminal emulator on phone. Still not able to connect to internet.
My Internet connection on PC is a cable connection with it showing in XP as WAN Miniport (PPPoE) connection. My Android phone connection, after tethering shows as Local Area Connection-2 (Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS#2). I am unable to bridge the two connections....
Hi
You can probably share internet connection thru bluetooth if you dont have wifi adapter!
Google "Sharing internet connection through BT"

The links that you mentioned have already been seen by me. Either they are talking of tethering (and not reverse-tethering, which is using PC internet connection on phone), or of bridging two LAN connections in XP. Nevertheless, thanks for your help.
As said earlier, I have a cable connection on my XP PC, which is showing as a WAN Miniport (PPPoE) connection. This connection is not getting bridged with my LAN (Android) connection, and therefore I am unable to complete the connection.
Please help anybody..
Alright, did the usual searches and have the usual answers wich don't seem to pertain to what i'm doing.
I have one static connection allowed to wifi router. I wish to use phone to share this connection with more than one device not using mobile data but the broadband connection.
Basically connect phone to broadband wifi. Have devices connect to phone to share wifi.
Again, to prevent any confusion: I do not want to share mobile connection on phone. I wish to share wifi connection with other devices from phone. ie. I have only one connection allowed to router and I wish to use phone to share that connection with PC and PS3.
Sorry for redundancy in stating this but people seem to miss the point or not read and suggest applications like Barnacle wich only share mobile internet or USB tethering wich only works for PC.
Well from what I understand Wi-Fi must be off on phone in order to create the Wi-Fi signal on the phone so this may be impossible

I know exactly what you are saying, and I am pretty sure it is impossible. I currently have wi-fi service where I have to log in, with only 1 device allowed log in at a time. When you turn on the wi-fi hotspot on your phone, it automatically turns your wi-fi off. You can only use the hotspot feature using your data connection over 3g or 4g. I have tried everything. If you are in the same situation, where you can only log one device on the internet connection, you may want to try spoofing your IP. Change the IP on the other devices to the IP on your phone. This may allow you to log the other devices in as well (so I have read). That may be your only option.
Yeah looks like Im going to connect PC and use an ethernet cable with connection sharing to get PS3 to work. Phone will have to use mobile data unless PC and PS3 arent being used.
Or phone gets wifi and USB tethered to pc and then connection shared (not sure this will work).
sharing wifi connection
I have done this using a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP ethernet converter. You connect to the wireless source (WAP) then it acts like a router and allows you to plug devices into it, has four ports but you could use a switch if more are needed. Each device aquires an IP from the converter and is hidden to the WAP, looks like one device is connected. Pretty easy to setup. Check it out.
Is it there an app that allows an android with wifi to become a wifi harddrive?
I am aware of wifi file transfer but I understand that in that case I have to connect to a wireless router and my ip will be over the net that will allow other devices to access my storage through it
However what I want to know is whether there's an app that allows to enable file sharing without the use of internet where it enables the host device to broadcast it self using wifi(without connecting to internet) and other devices, without connecting to internet, can access this device storage directly.
Is this possible and is there an app for it?
Thanks
When using a wifi file explorer, people can only access your device if they are connected to your network, and they know the port you have chosen....

but that seems to require the host device connecting to the internet, which is not what I'm looking for.
What I am basically looking for is the possibility to transfer files across devices via wireless but without connecting to the internet.
Similar to bluethoot where transfer is direct and it doesn't go through a router/network etc.
So
Host device turns on its wireless
Client device can connect to the host device wireless(like hotspot but directly ,not through internet) and access files or transfer back and forth.
