How to share internet connection to NEXUS from laptop

I have LAN cable connection on my laptop. It has wifi and bluetooth module. Is there any way to get an internet connection on my Nexus by using them? My laptop runs Vista.
Thx

if i understand correctly, you want to share the internet on your laptop with your nexus.
You need to configure your wifi on the laptop as accesspoint and connect the nexus with it.
Google internet sharing wifi

you can just turn on network sharing on your laptop... google is your friend here if you need specifics.

Is there any way to do this without a Wireless network card? Since I'm on the other side of the house and get intermittent signal with my N1's wifi. Can it be done using the USB cable? aka reverse tethering?

I don't think android supports this "reverse tethering". Actually I think only WinMo phones support it via Activsync, which is automatic as soon as you plug in your USB.

Is there a way set up a non-ad hoc network on the laptop because the N1 is not compatible with ad hoc networks?

Although you can set up a software AP on your laptop, consider buying a WiFi access point. That way your laptop won't have to be plugged in either And its way easier to setup.

If you are using Windows 7 on your laptop, you can use Connectify (url is connectify.me) to convert your laptop into a wifi hotspot, which you can then connect your N1 to (via wifi)

What about for windows XP? is there an application similar to conectify.
Also just to let you guys know stock android does not let you connect to ad-hoc network sharing like some mentioned earlier. The devices does not see ad-hoc networks.
There is a issue request here about it.

...I'm more comfortable with xp so I'm doomed not to be able to set up an AP with my laptop...
I've been all over this connection and sharing internet connetion thing these days, and today it seems so close to work:
I paired my N7 and laptop on bluetooth, laptop with IVT driver, and N7 clearly shows in bluetooth - paired devices - profiles, under internet access, "connected to device for internet access".
yet all apps on N7 still say no connection.
god somebody pls help me!! It just doesn't make any sense!
btw, I did tick the option of "internet access sharing" and selected the bluetooth network in the settings of the internet accessing connection on my laptop.
I just don't understand whatever went wrong...

Yes, but it's not free. There is a free trial though if you want to make sure it works with your setup.

Connecting nexus one to Internet via USB

Before i unlocked and flashed my Nexus one, it was enough to connect my Nexus one via USB to my Laptop to use laptop internet connection.
The first time i did it, Windows installed a bridge network.
Now that i am using a customer ROM (CYA 5.5.0.3), it does not work anymore.
Any idea if it is removed from the custom ROM, or if i need any kind of menu to make it to work?
Thanks in advance
Cedric

any taker?
i cannot be the only one that is interested in this basic function?

Have you tried the Wireless tether application? It does the exact same thing as USB tether, but wirelessly:

hello. I have a nokia 5800 with 3g and joikuspot installed to connect my nexus no it but it's impossible because te N1 dosn't found the signal. I think is because joikuspot make a adhoc connection. Any solution? Thanks.

Root + custom ROM. Search the forum for "ad hoc".

Connect to internet via a bluetooth device?

i have nokia nuron (5230) and it allows sharing of the internet via bluetooth. does the tab have any bluetooth profiles that will connect to my nuron and allow the it to get to the internet? i cant actually try it right now since i am on CM7 and bluetooth isnt working properly. let me know if anyone has tried something similar. thanks.

android does not provide reverse DUN or PAN bluetooth access to other devices
however
I had another tablet that you could use an app that let you connect to other phones using the DUN capabilities.
I could connect my old nokia to the tablet and it really worked, but I couldn't do the same on my X10 nor my G1, I suspect the Gtab would be the same case(mainly for the lack of bluetooth profiles on the tab)
If you want the apk I could send it to you if you or another member want to test it and figure it out how to make it work

willing to try anything at this point. PM sent.
