Hi, I know, probably someone have made the same question but I haven't found anything in the forum.
Is it possible share my internet connection from pc to android via usb or via wifi?
how? thanks
If your PC is on a wired connection with a wireless card you could probably bridge the connection (or just use internet connection sharing if you use windows) and make an ad-hoc network to connect to via wifi.
I have a laptop connected via ethernet... how I can make a ad hoc connection?
I have tried to create one, but the phone don't find anything!!
Nobody can help me ?
You can use Tether WiFi and make your handset as Adhoc access point.This will only work on rooted handsets.
Secondly use something like PdaNetA115 for wired usb connection to use your phone as modem in both cases.Will work with rooted/unrooted.
There is another one which is Tether Bluetooth for rooted phones.

Wrong way, he's trying to use his laptop's connection to get wifi to the phone, not trying to use the phone as a modem. Looking at some other stuff and trying it myself it doesn't look like you can connect the phone to ad hoc. Sorry
and via usb??? is it possible?
maybe with some adb command....
I have used this method on the micro hero 1.3, CyanogenMod v4.1.11.1 and I am just about to set it up on micro hero 1.4.

I have read on another site that this line should be added to the very end to change it back to read only
"mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
The wifi modem at my G/Fs mothers has no internal PPPoE login and her adsl connection needs a PPPoE login, Android cant do this or I havnt been able to find and app that does.
I use my laptop(with 2 wifi cards, one internal and 1 external(pcmcia)) to do the PPPoE login(internal wifi) on the laptop and then share this connection via ad-hoc(external wifi) to my G1.
One thing that I would like to point out, if I lose the connection between the G1 and the laptop, I have to reboot the laptop to get it to share the internet again.I haven't worked out why yet.
I have ordered a new modem/wifi/router of ebay that will do away with all this crap, but for now it is a work around that does works, until the new modem arrives.
Hi All,
I also am looking for a way to get the phone connected to the internet FROM the PC via USB.
reason:
I have a Corporate SW that connects to WIFI access points around the world for free (at least free to me, not to the company).
this is done through a SW on the PC. now, I cannot mad an AD Hoc connection because the WIFI is already working. and I also cannot connect using the phone wifi due to the same reason..
is there a way to connect the phone to the Internet through the USB cable?
Thanks,
Itamar
Hi,
I just change my HTC HD for the Nexus One and I really need a way to do that, like ActiveSync for WM.
Is there a solution to use the pc connectivity with android using the USB cable ?
many thx
for WiFi sharing, you could try this: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/how_to_turn_your_windows_7_computer_into_a_wireles.php
I'm going to test it this weekend
Maybe this too:

Hi,
HTC Desire natively does not have the ability to see AdHoc connections.
So you will need to do some hacking,good thin this is easy !
Use this link :

Unfortunately i don't have enough privileges to post links...so you make it a link
Good luck !
If the PC is connected to Wifi, there is no reason the Android device wouldnt be connected as so aswell.
Is there anyway I can share the internet on my notebook to my Android through USB cable, just like Activesync on WM ?
I can ofcourse use Wifi & connect to the same network my notebook is connected to, but the reason I wanna do this is to save power of the Android device by not using Wifi.
Well, here's a reason.... I fly alot and have a software from my workplace that connects me free to almost any non-free hotspot at airports around the world..
that means I can't use wifi on my device and am already using the wifi interface on my PC to connect to the internet.
which leaves me with a dongling USB cable that cannot pass the internet to my phone..
Bummer
im facing the same problem bec. i use a usb modem and i have only the cable to share the pc net on my android so .........waiting for an idea
share internet from pc to android via wifi
I used below way to share pc's internet via wifi.
Prerequisite
laptop:
Windows XP SP3
WIFI + LAN (access internet via LAN)
Android SDK has been installed.
phone:
HTC Desire with official 2.2 Android
Steps:
1. Rooted the phone with unrevoked3.
Because I can not paste link, Please search relevant threads.
Please notice, select "charge only" when link phone to PC.
Do not unplug phone till unrevoked3 display "done".
2. Set NAT on laptop
Please search relevant threads.
a) Modify Registry Entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
IPEnableRouter=1
In Command Prompt window, run below command:
b) net stop remoteaccess # Stop the RAS Service
c) netsh routing ip nat install
d) netsh routing ip nat add interface "Local Area Connection" full # This interface have internet link
e) netsh routing ip nat add interface "Wireless Network Connection" private # traffic on this interface will be routed.
f) netsh routing ip nat add interface Internal private
g) net start remoteaccess
h) command "netsh routing ip nat show interface" will output
NAT Internal Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Private Interface
NAT Local Area Connection Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Address and Port Translation
NAT Wireless Network Connection Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Private Interface
3. Enable phone's Hot-Spot with default configuration(DHCP enabled).
Configure laptop connect to phone as AP.
So my laptop's WiFi interface will be DHCPed an ip 192.168.1.157
my phone ip is 192.168.1.1
4. Add route and DNS on phone.
a) "adb shell" in command prompt, then "su".
Now you should login as root.
b) run "ip route add default via 192.168.1.157",
So all phone's traffic will be routed to laptop's WiFi interface.
My LAN interface ip is 192.168.15.100.
Just try "ping 192.168.15.100", It should return successful response.
c) Set DNS server, run "setprop net.dns1 192.168.15.1", Get DNS from laptop with command "ipconfig /all".
Not try ping a existed web site. It should return correct response.
Note:
Windows XP can keep NAT configuration after restart. But you should re-run Step 4 after restart phone's hot-spot.
E-Market and Build-in Browser do work. But GMAIL does not work. It seems Gmail check network connection type.
share PC internet with Android over USB
I also need this solution badly... Let's experiment. Anyone got any ideas?
well, here is my thoughts
1) Create VPN server in phone\network, the server address is 127.0.0.1, enable PPTP protocol
2) adb forward tcp:xxxx tcp:1723
The tcp:1723 is phone's PPTP port
3) Setup a VPN server on PC using port xxxx
4) Start VPN connection on phone
Any idea?
Mac to Android via WiFi
I forgot that this requires ad-hoc support :-/
If you have a mac, you can share your wired/wireless connection via WiFi.
1) Open System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing > Enable
2) Join a wireless connection on plug in ethernet
3) Click airport in the menubar, then 'Create Network'.

Is there anyway to access internet on the HTC if you just have a PC connected to internet ?
using WM5 it's possible using active sync, but after i upgraded to WM6 it's not possible..
any clues ?
upgrade activsync
well....i downloaded the active sync from internet..
my IE on the desktop is using a proxy.. not sure if i need to configure something on the phone.
thanks for the reply
Is Active Sync required?
My nephew doesn't have AS installed (doesn't have a WM phone) and I wanted to be able to conect to the net without having to remember to taked an AS disk with me.
it's possible using wifi and routing the wifi from the pc to the isp
otherwise it's not possible
The only way how i know is whit bluetooth
Whenever I travel I take a bit of internet with me so I can use it in emergencies.
Another way to access the "computer's" internet over your phone is to use internet sharing from the laptop and create an ad hock wireless network between the laptop and the phone. That works great for me in places where there is no wireless but wired internet.
Check out this link if you would like to learn how to setup Ad Hoc Internet Sharing.
I can access the Internet whenever I have the HTC connected through my PC via USB and ActivSync.
Accessing the internet normally engages the GPRS data path, but with the USB to the PC (assuming the PC is connected to the 'net) it connects without engaging GPRS and routes through the PC.
It works on Vista and XP without any problems.
Another neat trick is using the HTC to allow me to access the Internet from my laptop when I'm away from the Office i.e. HTC -> USB -> Laptop -> IE Browser -> Internet. By using 'Internet Sharing' in programs folder.
Don't you just love technology !

Hello all.
I have googled, searched xda and tried all to get internet sharing to work, via usb, but fail all the time. It is supposed to just work but does'nt. For me.
Any help please?
regards
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
choose my network or whatever the native network profile is called
rather then my isp or whatever your isp profile is called
should mean that when your phone is connected to activesync
or vista's sync tool
it gets the same network as the computer you're connected to
make sure you have synced your x1 with the activesync software that comes with it then try it make sure you got signal aswell cuz it will not connect without. i use vista and it connected fine it just added another network to the ones i could connect to and obvusly it was the phone so i saved it that way when i plug it in it works straight the way. hopefully this helped
just plug it in and start internet sharing on your x1
Probably want to check your PC network status>>properties>>Advanced and check on "Allow other network users to connect...."
And go to X1 settings>connections>usb to pc and clear(if any) check mark on the 'enable adv network' if having problems.
Are you trying to connect your PC to the Internet through your phone or your phone to the internet via your PC?
doesnt necessarily belong here but since people are reading this thread - how can I do the following:
My laptop is connected to landline broadband connection via cable. Now I want to start a wireless network on my computer and let my xperia connect to. When connected to the laptop ... I want the xperia to be able to use the laptops internet access as well be able to access files that I have given network permission to e.g. movies for example.
There has got to be a way of doing this. So far all i can do is create a wireless network and let my xperia connect to it .. however nothing happens after that .. I cannot access files nor the internet on my xperia
so anybody an idea how to do this ?
thanks
I think you might need a Wireless Access Point for this, although I could be wrong. I have personally never tried it, as I haven't played around with peer to peer wireless networks.
I have an Access Point at home connected to the DSL, my laptop and my X1 both connect to it and access the internet, and that works perfectly.
Sorry I am not of much help.
just create an ad hoc connection on your pc it will appear on the network list on the xperia in the properties of the ad hoc connection tick share internet or something similar
Sharing internet connection with x1
Hello guys! I need to connect my X1 via USB with my notebbok, to share the WiFi connection. The problem is that my X1 has an IP with 192.168.1.102 Ip, (From wireless), but when I connect it via USB to my PC its tooks an IP with 162.85.2.2 Ip Address.
I configured it manually, but still wont navigate trouth internet.
So I don't know hoy to configure my connection to have the same IP range with my phone from my PC.
I searched all over XDA forums, but I didn't find anything-
Please somebody can hel me please?
Regards!
Charly!
Active sync issues the IP when connected via the usb cable, leave it as it is. (ie my home wireless network for the laptop / pc / xbox etc is 192.168.0.xxx but the phone when connected to the laptop is 169.254.2.x and active sync does the routing or something). Then do what the others said about allowing the phone ot connect to the internet via active sync and it should work.

hey....i using SE x1i
I need to help for to connect mobile with laptop. No one pc suite are working, when i connect via USB cable i getting error of "your USB not recognize" I tried with various PC suite but nt getting success..My Laptop OS wind8 Plz help me any one....
Hey guys , so i have a netbook with bluetooth (lenovo S10) and my HTC touch Pro. I wanted to control my netbook with myphone using Gremote either via bluetooth or wifi.
First, i tried the bluetooth method. I followed the instrution at the main site and got all the way until i have to setup a PAN in my netbook. However i couldn't find any option to setup a PAN so i couldn't control my netbook with myphone via bluetooth.
Then i proceded to create an ad-hoc wifi network from my netbook. I made it's SSID and then set it as not using any encryption and the network key is automatically provided by windows. My phone detected the network and connected successfully to it. Both had ip's for within the network. Now the Gremote server is already running in my computer. I started the Gremote app in my phone and then went on to create a profile. When i press the FIND button (to search for the ip address) it says couldn't find ip. However in my netbook, The Gremote server shows in it's log file that it received request search from [my phone's ip here].
What is wrong? My netbook seems to be detecting my phone attempting to connect to it but the gremote app on my phone shows that it couldn't find anything?
P/s: I've tried manually key-ing the ipaddress and it didn't work.
Ive had that issue before and other issue with the app. Its strange, one day it will just start working.
For the bluetooth, make sure you have a serial port open, but i have yet to see a bluetooth stack on a PC that doesnt have an option to activate PAN.
With the wifi, you said you manually keyed it in, are you getting that IP from the status page on the gremote server app? make sure you have that port open as well, i think its 5656 or something.
you should try to
1. connect to your PC using a router
2. Drop the wep encyption on your adhoc connection
3. use a static IP for your PC
4. have your phone connected to the wifi connection for atleast 20 seconds before you try to initiate control with gremote.
ive used gremote on 2 laptops and a PC. the PC is my home PC which is the only one that has given me an issue. Regardless, it works now. One day it just started working. on the PC i can use gremote through my router wifi, adhoc connection straight to it, or bluetooth pan. On my laptop i use it through router wifi and adhoc without ever having an issue. on my sisters laptop ive used it with a adhoc connection......still no issue.
Keep messing with it. The only problems ive ever had seemed to have worked themselves out after a couple days.
Thanks YL Groper. Actually about 2 nights ago, i was playing around and it most certainly worked suddenly.
I made a standard Ad hoc network (open without encryption) and let it run. However my computer couldn't detect the network (which was created from the computer). Then i input the SSID to my Touch Pro, and it found the network. After being connected to the network, my computer found the network as well and begin to connect to it. Once it got the ip, my phone could retrieve the ip from the computer and now i have no problem
Just wondering if there is a way to tether to a computer with a wired connection to get Internet connection that way, instead of using wifi??? There is lots of apps and stuff that need to connect to the internet to download, but I dont have the wifi's at home.
And if not, is it a hardware limitation, or software???
as far as i know there is no way to get internet to your phone through usb cable.
you can probably work around it if you have a laptop wired to the internet or a wifi stick. you should be able to setup a hotspot through windows to share your wired connection over wifi.
If you are on Froyo, it is built in.
If you are on Eclair, use Acer EasyLink:
(credits to navygino on MoDaCo for figuring everything out):
1) Download & install this program, http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...uid&Step3=Liquid&OS=A01&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6
(I did this on Vista) Device Manager-->Modem-->Acer Android Modem-->Advanced-->enter the sting: +CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”apn name”
2) Open the Acer EasyLink software
3) Go to Settings
-The number is just *99#
-Make sure everything else is correct
Ohhhh sorry thats for wired tethering, using your mobile network on your computer.
As far as using your computers wired connection, I have no clue.
i know that monoxide.tryst is probably gone but for anyone else.
if you want internet on your device you can share your wired network to your phone if you have a laptop/wireless adapter.
Windows 7
go to "network and sharing center"
>on the left "Manage Wireless Networks"
>>click "Add"
>>>"Create an ad hoc network"
>>>>Put in SSID and Security code
>>>>>"next" and then select "Share my internet Connection"
This will setup a wireless hotspot from your laptop/adapter using your wired internet connection. Which then you can use your phone to connect too.
Hi All,
I recently acquired a chromecast and would very much like access to the BBC Iplayer (I live in the netherlands). I can already watch Iplayer on my phone using the VPN option in android but once I try to watch it on chromecast it doesn't start the stream which is probably because the chromecast is connected to my home network which is not behind the VPN. I also can't mirror screen since I loose connection from my phone to the chromecast as soon as I connect my phone to the VPN.
Now I read that it is possible to do with a DDWRT router but I do not have one of those and I wouldn't want my whole network to be on a different IP, just the chromecast & if needed my phone. I do however have something that I would like to consider a lot more powerful than a router, namely a "Server PC" running windows XP professional. Would I be able to use this server and enable the VPN on it and then make the chromecast connect to the server? Would I need 2 USB wireless adapters or 1 (so my phone connects to 1 and the chromecast to the second. My server connects via ethernet to my modem)? Could I somehow configure this USB adapter to be connected to the VPN by default? Could I use virtualization software? I would like the most clean option preferably without affecting the rest of my server (but it would be OK if the server is temporarily in the UK until I have watched the show). Perhaps this topic can be extended to other devices with wireless capabilities like NAS and raspberries etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Ok so after some digging I found at least 1 way of doing it: http://alphaloop.blogspot.nl/2014/01/raspberry-pi-as-vpn-wireless-access.html
However I still think this should be possible on a windows XP machine with a wireless adapter.
On many Windows 7 PCs with wi-fi, you can use the following to create a hosted wifi network that your chromecast can connect to:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=XXXX key=YYYY
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
if you then share your VPN adapter's internet connection with the hosted wifi that you've created, you can connect your phone and chromecast to the same wifi XXXX and that will be connected to the internet via the VPN on the laptop.
