Firewall - LG Thrill 4G

My school has a firewall I connect to there wifi with my phone is there an app where I can get past the firewall
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

No, but you should be able to set up a vpn to your house, and use that to browse the net.

I don't know how to do that

Yea that'd be nice to know, I hate trying to use the crappy 4g 1 bar reception at my school when there's a perfectly good wifi network there.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

It isn't a quick reply kinda thing. Google is your friend.
Basically, you set up a VPN server on your home machine, leave it on, and configure your phone to connect to it via your school internet connection. You are tunneling past their connection and firewall. All they see is the connection to home.

I've looked but can't seem to find something maybe I could have Comcast do it
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

No, Comcast can't do it. If you can't set up a VPN, you really don't have the ability to go after firewalls.
Look up open source Virtual Private Network, read, learn, implement, grow.
Or, just deal with the restrictions or your cellular data connection.

wifi tether to wii problem

i have been using wifi tether 1.6 with my mac with no problems but i cant for the life of me get it to connect to my wii...any help will be appreciated
Wii does not support connecting to an adhoc wireless network. No way to do it, I have tried a million different ways.

I know, doesn't work on the DS either. Sucks but it is what it is.
On the bright side, evo users can now make a full infrastructure network. Arguments to up grade are getting more and more convincing.

Using REVOLUTION as a modem

Anyone know if this is possible? I want to connect my phone to my laptop and use the internet, when I plug it in I see the option for "internet connection" but it doesn't do anything.
Thanks for the help
Search "tether" and you will find what you are looking for.
There's 2 options. You could use wifi tether. Wich u have to search Google for. Or u can use easy tether which is on the market

But if I use wifi tether. Won't I need to.be connected to a wifi network? I want to use my 3g/4g connection. If there is wifi connectivity, I could just connect my laptop to that, I wouldn't need my phone?
Thanks for the clarification

No you need wifi tether it creates a hot spot but requires root

Wifi Tether will be included in the next GingerVolt also. I am trying to find a way to get it to have certain settings automatically, but no luck so far.
With ur USB tether share switcher works really well for me. Just add the widget and click on the usb

Ouch!! I just slapped my forehead really hard.
Good answers gentlemen, as always.
In our themes and apps section, there is a thread "wifi tether, not mine" there is an app that works perfect for me. I have thought about dropping ATT for net, and just using Verizon for surfing at home. That would save me 50 dollars a month. Downfall: I have an awesome phone that can do that, my wife does not. So I would have to retire, and live at home and write best selling books so my phone could always be here to make a connection to the net for my wife. Boy.. that would be... terrible.

Yeah that app used to be in the market but was quickly pulled, so now Google just posts it there.

Your provider may require you to pay a fee. There are likely folks that can get around paying.
I did try "easy tether" when I found that the rooting process damaged my tethering setup. It did work well for an hour to two, until my provider found me and throttled me down to dial-up speed. "Their support guy enjoyed my story and admitted the same thing happened to him once too.

Tethering methods

Has anyone found a functional wireless tethering method? Or do any of the roms listed in the development section have tethering enabeled? Ive tried wifi tether several different versions with every setting combination and cant get it to work. Shows devices connected but no internet connection

Google's WiFi Tether app is a must-get:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Set the Device Profile in settings to LG Optimus S
I leave my Setup Method as 'Auto' and have no problems tethering a number of devices. Many people choose to set theirs to Softap. IMO I've seen no difference between the two so try both and choose which one you think works best for you.
Thanks joey but ive tried that setup and it will show connected but no actual internet. The main device im trying to connect is a wii.

I don't have a wii to test, but I've used the tether for rooted users to connect my computer and Kindle Fire with no issues whatsoever.

My Wireless Tether app was doing that same thing. I think Verizon does something on their end to block it.
You can use "Open Garden" from the Play store. It works. Used it this weekend.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium
Open garden works well. The only problem i could see was if the Wii doesn't like ad-hoc networks as tje tether apps I have seen are all Ad-hoc

Ill give open garden a try tonight and see if its wii friendly

Make pc hotspot for n7?

Hi guys was wondering if its possibal to make my pc a hotspot for my nexus 7. Will this help with speeds/signal on my N7 as i will be in the same room?, i followed a guide i found on the internetabout setting up a ad hoc hotspot but my N7 cant detect it is there apps i need for this or something i need to do on my N7? cheers.
Did u try this one? http://ph.news.yahoo.com/how-to-turn-your-windows-laptop-into-a-hotspot-070825656.html
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using xda premium
No
No i havent, i will give it a go and see what happens, thanks alot
Let me know how it goes
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using xda premium
Just a little confussed on this part
Step 3: To create a hotspot, type "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yournetworkname key=yournetworkpassword," and hit Enter on your keyboard. Remember, "ssid" refers to the WiFi hotspot's name while "key" is said network's password. You can also use the aforementioned command to change the hotspot's name and password.
This mean i have to enter my routers SSID and Key or make my own that i will use to connect on my nexus.
never mind got it working, i forgot to start it lol, thanks alot i can now connect to my pc :good:
Lol good

Nexus 7 picks it up fine etc but only issue is when i try to connect it stays at obtaining IP address.
Back when I did it, it would take a little while to connect. Try turning the Wifi on the n7 on and off a few times
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using xda premium
Nope no luck, looking at the connection i set up it says no network access in the status, i wonder if thats why or i have to use static ip. Also mypc is on a wireless adapter so not sure if i have to be on ethernet or not
I used the adapter too. Maybe it doesn't support WiFi sharing

Can't connect to wifi

So this was mentioned and never solved. But when I try to connect to my network I get " network disabled, because the connection is to slow" what else can I do to fix this. I actually called at&t and I did a master reset. So I connected to Starbucks wifi after. Which previously I wasn't able to before doing the master reset. But when I got here to my house. It wouldn't connect it keeps giving me this error. What can I do ?

If you disable this, it will stop prompting you about that and will also stay connected to not so great WiFi (if you have crappy WiFi).
It's actually been solved..I've posted this on a few other topics. Unless you were looking for something else?
I disabled it. Might be their WiFi isn't so great. But I am able to connect to my Comcast Wi-Fi.

Don't forget even if you have great Wifi there are a lot of factors that can make it unstable like interference

I actually tried all of that... and all that any of it did was prevent me from having web access, and prevent me to use my data plan for texting... it was a nightmare...
i've been chatting with samsung for 5 hours now and still don't have a fix. Any new info would be awesome to fix this problem.
