Hi!
I live in a college now, and I have just wired lan on my laptop. But you know that Hero really needs wifi, or at least internet. So I wanted to make an ad-hoc wifi spot on my laptop (ubuntu 10.4) and share it with the Hero. I crashed my ubuntu twice tring different techniques of creating a hotspot. But now I think that the problem is with my mobile. So...I searched a lot for this topic, but no good answers. So my question is: Is it possible to share my linux's internet with my pda using wifi or usb or not? And if yes please give me a link or a guide how to do it.
Thx for your time!
Tom
I'm not sure about creating hotspot things but you should find apps that let you do it using your usb, google reverse tether

Hallo, I just bought a x10. This is my first android phone. I wonder if this phone supports internet sharing or if there is any application on android OS that would allow to share internet with thru the phone.
thank you
Easy tether and pdanet do this over usb. Search the android marketplace on your phone for these apps or search for "tethering" for wifi sharing.
thank you very much
ive tried these and cant get these apps to work for some reason can someone lend me a hand?
What does not work. We would be happy to help you, please provide a little more information as to what doesn't work. Got an error message?
If you prefer is there a wifi option.
You can do tether with your X10 using Barnacle.
Set rmnet0 as WAN password and athwlan0 as LAN one.
Bye

I installed Barnacle in my x10,and I can not connect x8 to my x10. Is there something missing.according to the explanation, it depends on the os like win7,xp,iphone,ipad,etc. Does it mean no chance for android? Or may be need another app to be installed in client device?
Thanks.

android natively does not have the ability to connect to ad-hoc networks. thats why ur x8 cannot connect to the x10..
it is possible only after editing the wifi.sh in the x8.. i dont rem exactly what to edit but a quick search on the forum should get u the answer..

Hi Chetan,
Sorry but i actually wanted to connect to adhoc WIFI network too, I searched the forum with keywords like wifi.sh and adhoc wifi but couldn't get any results, can you point me to any such information modding some wifi file to connect to adhoc. pl pardon my search skills but i tried my best to get to such post
Thanks,
Nikhil
I can confirm that the only app that works for tethering is Barnale Wifi Legacy (you can find it in your Market).
I tried both legacy and norm, with 'wlan0' interface and channel 11(saw somewhere else it is preferred)
Is it possible to make it work in 2.1, like in 1.6?
Or is it possible to compile the netfilter module for 2.1?

Thanks.

It really depends on what you want to connect to with the AD-HOC wireless connection the HD2 uses as some electronic devices do not support AD-HOC like most Sony products for example. But there is a work around. So please post back here with what you are trying to connect to.
I have internet sharing to other so i want to connect the shared internet but the shared wireless does not shown in wireless.

Sorry for the late reply but I think you are looking for WiFi Router for Windows Mobile. There is also a paid WiFi Router app in the Market call WMRouter if I remember correctly. But I use to use the free one all the time and loved it.
I dont think u get my question.
I want to connect the ad-hoc wireless ,when u share internet from ur pc the type of connection is ad-hoc some device cant read this wireless or find it,so the point is by which way i can connect from my hd2 to those type of wireless?
Thank u very much.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ok I think I might understand you question now, and yes I know what AD-HOC is. To put it simply it is a computer to computer connection. Anyway if you are talking about using the AD-HOC connection to put your HD2 online via your computers internet connection then you will have to use a WiFi router and access your home internet connection via Wifi. I don't think you can connect your HD2 any other way to non cellular network, at least that I know of.
Ok
so its microsoft .
thank u very much .
Hi there,
I have encountered some strange problem with my HD2.
I cannot make ad-hoc connections with most laptops, except for maybe one.
This means, I cannot connect to an ad-hoc connection set up on a laptop, nor can I turn my HD2 into a wi-fi router with most computers.
The connection is detected but after trying to connect, it just cycles and eventually windows (tried xp, vista and 7) notices that it cannot connect.
I have read that it may be the case of:
1. IP mapping (but why should this happen if all these laptops did connect with my previous i8000?)
2. WLAN Channels (Whereas I found no way to access/change them on wm6.5)
It's a new HD2 so it's got the pre-installed sharing feature. I also used the wmwifi router trial and downoladed the htc installable router app (tom codon's).
I've searched the forums for 3h allready and found no conclusion - will be really greatful for some hints.
Thanks.
Hello Everyone! I want to use my Laptop's internet connection via usb cable using my Dell Streak. So I searched for an app that will enable me to do that. While I'm searching and reading all the stuffs that I think that will be the answer to my question, I stumbled upon the word Tether/Tethering.
In which will enable your computer/Laptop to use your Mobile Device's Internet plan or 3g connection. However, what I really wanted was the reverse of this process. I want to use my Laptop's Internet connection. From my laptop connection through USB? or Bluetooth, then to my Dell Streak. So I can surf the Internet using my Mobile device.
I searched the forums already and learned that the latest post for this topic was last 2008. I hope there is already a solution to do this.
Everyone, If you know any apps that I can use please do tell me. Thank you very much!
there aren't any that I know of plus I think it would need to be computer prog not android
There are guides to do it in linux but you need to do it manually I think.

You'll be needing to set up a local network via the wireless connection on your PC.
If you are already on the internet via wifi on the PC, why not use the wifi on the streak?
If you are hooked up via Ethernet/other cable, then broadcasting the connection on the PC's wifi is fairly simple.
Hope this helps.

he wants to do it via usb or bluetooth..
I was able to do this with Linux, but it was a pain and some programs couldn't access the internet. I think only the browser worked.
Would be difficult with usb.It might be easier if you use bluetooth or wifi.
Just go ahead and setup your ad-hoc network or soft-ap on your pc,and make sure you have inter access sharing service or similar software running.
I would recommend you use a wifi soft-ap,it's super easy to setup on winxp/2k/2k3.

I'm asking this question on BEHALF of MYSELF and OTHERS. Can you SHARE your LAPTOP or PC's connection with your android phone.
For example lets say i wanted to play a gameloft game but i need to download additional data through Wifi, is there a way for me to use my Laptop or Pc's connection through my phone so i can download the game for my phone.
If anyone has a solution to this question please make your answer VERY DETAILED
I am on a XPERIA X10, Please reply or answer THIS QUESTION
Advice:
I've Googled about this problem. I have data plan in my phone and no WiFi at home. Many people like me also use this way to get connection. But what they got were "FAILED". ONLY WAY = connect TO WiFi (can't say every game, but maybe 1% can use reverse tether method)

melvinchng Same here i dont have Wifi in my house, there certian games that wont download with my carrier network and insist on me downloading through wifi. I ALREADY know how to download GAMELOFT GAMES that require wifi only but it is very inconsistant and dodgy on my x10.
Theres a wifi signal on my laptop i can connect to the but the signal on android phones are so bad i just cant connect to the router.
If your pc has wifi(I know you don't have wifi in your house) you can download and use the app connectify for windows
If your pc has a working wifi card (with drivers installed of course), then you can share its connection via wifi. If you have windows 7, you can use "Connectify" or "Virtual Router". If you have windows xp and above (on a dell pc. Don't know if it works on others), then you can use "Dell Laptop to Hotspot Converter".
there is a guide on my device's forum about this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229558
for the step where it says "bridged local area connection and LG adaptor," you must find the equivalent of the lg adaptor that applies to your phone (if that makes sense). other than that, i think it should work.
What you are looking for is called "usb-internet pass-through" correct? Alot of custom roms already have it as a feature in the wifi setting, next to wifi hotspot. Im not familiar with your device or whether you are rooted but its pretty handy. Can also work as a wireless card, as in turn wifi setting on the phone and plug it into a desktop that doesnt have a wifi card and presto, wifi through your phone thats through a wireless router so its not eating up your data quota and much faster than the 3g on your phone.

I have searched the forums and google for an answer to this but haven't been able to find anything.
What I'm trying to do is use my computers internet for my phone, and then broadcast it out. I've downloaded and used successfully the xda Android Reverse Tethering .exe and it's worked wonderfully. But the thing is I want to be able to use it in conjuction with a wifi tether app from my Samsung Galaxy S. My phone is rooted.
The purpose of this is to get internet connection on my PSP Vita. All of the internet in my house is wired, I don't own a wifi router nor do I want one. I live in a building where finding wifi passwords is easy for everyone as we all have the same general field of work, but no one near me has wifi.
What I've tried so far is using the xda Reverser Tether program with Barnacle Wifi Tether, Open Garden WiFi, and WiFi Tether. All apps I've downloaded from the marketplace. They work well at broadcasting my cell signal for use as Wifi, but none of them have been able to use the internet being sent from my phone.
In short what I'm looking for, or even if it exists, is a way to transfer my hard wired internet through my computer to my phone and subsequently the cellphones ability to act as a Wifi router.

Edit: *bump* I have removed it
check my threads
That looks close, but how could I use that, and then have my phone broadcast my internets computer through it's Wifi?
Hi ,
Use virtual router software in your pc and turn on pc and phones wifi.and connect to pcs wifi connection.if you have confusion try virtual router in google. i got succeeded in this but i dont have any link to give you.
If i helped press thanks.
This sounds like something that might do it. I have it downloaded but it's not doing anything. What were the steps you got to make it work for you?
Well, I was able to get it to work using redankaiahu's advice. The only thing is I had to go out and buy a usb-wifi adapter instead of using my phone like I would've liked. Oh well.
I know this really doesn't belong here, but did u know that if u get a router, u can actually change the frequency channel on it? Which means , no ones pc will pickup on the channel unless they adjust from their own pc's and know what channel u changed to.
