If you go to Network and Sharing Center select your internet conection, properties, sharing, allow other network users..., and then choose your wifi connection. I think that should work

Hi All,
I've made a program supporting all originally supported wifi protocols as well as WPA/WPA2 enterprise protocols. This program can be used to set up connection with wireless networks using enterprise protocols.
What you need to do is to select proper protocol/authentification methods. Provide certification files if you have them. You can put certs files anywhere in your SD card. Then click OK.
You need to disable your wifi and re-enable it. Root is required.
Please visit my blog for more updates: http://fredzhung.blogspot.com/
** THIS IS NOT WELL TESTED, But works for Purdue University. (WPA ENTERPRISE WITH THAWTE_PREMIUM_SERVIER certs.)**
[UPDATE MAY-11] 1.0.2 RELEASE
ADDED SUPPORT FOR AD-HOC!
Added support for memorizing all configurations.
Need some test.
[EDIT] v0.2 RELEASE.
fixed a bug connecting to open network.
added support for anonymous indentity in EAP
added help/about
added input validation
changed icon
If this Wifi Helper doesn't work with your company's/school's wifi settings, please provide me your wifi setup so I can figure out what's wrong.
There seem to be a bug that first time run will hang. Close the program when the "force close" window pops up. Then run it again. Add the program to superuser list when asked.
This seem to be a bug for all applications requiring root access in android 1.5. I tested with terminal emulator and it has the same bug as well. Something is wrong with superuser program.
The app is uploaded to Market. Have fun!
Using this to access wifi on campus
Hi
I am a novice at all this root stuff so my questions is straightforward
a) If i buy a G1 (not rooted etc) and install this application from the market, i should be able to access my campus wifi? This is one reason why I am still using the iphone (unlocked on tmobile).
b) Is this likely to work even after the 1.5/cupcake transition that seems to be imminent?
Thanks
ps I am at LSU and here are some of the wifi details for the campus:

Hi, if you buy a g1 from store, you need to root it first before using this app. totorials for rooting your phone can be found on the sticky threads.
After you root your phone and use this app, you should be able to connect to your campus wifi. This is the purpose of this app.
May 11: 1.0.2 is released. Available in market
Hey zhang!
Great work, but i am having problems getting the ad-hoc to work.
It's been setup on my laptop and i have tried w/WPA & open to no avail.
The phone does not seem to detect the network.
I'm running 1.5 JF ADP.
Any thoughts as to what i might be doing wrong?
And thanks for the ad-hoc capability, been waiting on that one
Sean
Hi Sean,
I've been doing experiments with adhoc, I am not 100% sure adhoc will work. I will keep trying.
Great, great, great job!
I'm gonna buy the pro one, just as a "thank you"..
It seems it won't even detect my adhoc network
Hi. I use the free version (will buy it if it actually works) but I can't seem to even detect my adhoc networh. I use the ICS on XP laptop. I setup an open network with no encryption for the test but the G1 doesn't detect it (it sets it up and says it's unavailable, thus allowing me only to "forget" it). Do I have to change anything else on my device (for example the tiwlan.ini) so my device actually shows those elusive adhoc networks. Has anyone actually succeeded to setup properly an adhoc connection on G1 ever with any kind of software or is it like the UFO - we hear it exists but we've never actually seen it?
I cna't get it to work on my university's WPA2 Enterprise with a 'GTE CyberTrust Global Root' certificate (with extention cer).
I'm using a Vodafone Magic
I am also having a problem with a WPA2 enterprise setup.
It is a eduroam network.
On my computer I have entered the following setup in wicd:
encryption: PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPv2
identity: my username
password: my password
In the wifi list (in the android system menu) the eduroam network shows as "Not in range, remembered"
I have another problem with the app itself: "Modify configurations" does not work. This makes it a hassle to try different encryption settings.
I know the network also works with PEAP with GTC, but don't know how to set that up.
Where did this go? It's no longer on the market. I can't find it anywhere!
Yeah, I was looking for this app and can't seem to find it anywhere. It disappeared. Does anyone have the apk?
Boogy
Try WiFi Buddy...free and works great.
All you had to do was go to his site...

I'm looking for an app that lets me choose which application is currently allowed to use internet data.
My network operator has high costs, except if you use their web proxy to surf.
So I need a way to blacklist all applications except the web browser, when I'm connected through 3g data.
Can you help me?
By the sound of it Droid Wall is what you are after, it requires a rooted phone but then gives you complete control over what apps can access the internet

Thank you very much!
This would definitely solve my problem, unless I don't like to have a rooted phone.
If someone else has any suggestion he is welcome!

wht is that how to use it????
well..
it is in the Wireless settings section. i guess you should use L2 IPSec.
briefly: have to set up a VPN server/connection point at home or wherever, and you'll connect to that from anywhere given that there's an open outbound port to the internet where you are currently. than a connection will be built up creating a "tunnel" through which your packets will be transferred to the VPN host where itt could be routed and NAT-ed to the internet unrestricted.
adding IPSec or other methods of encryptions will make your connection secure.
i've never tried it on my phone but since its based on linux it must be the same way as at desktop system.
you should check documents and howtos on the internet and check for apps at Market if the androids builtin is not satisfying!

i am unble to use that
i dont know how to set all these things
Use Froyo by Laszlo it supports proxy over wifi
where the hell are the proxy settings hidden in ICS,
I have tried the following: settings...wifi connection long tap.....pop up window ....modify connection...show advanced option....
nothing happens
tried connected and unconnected
used a proxy setting software form the market.......... no success at all
need this urgently to connect to a corporate network..
PS : I have original firmware per update from samsung, no root
------------------------------
ICS really screws me up.....high battery drain, many hangs....forced closes..
my home screens need always some time to load when I come back from an application.
streaming videos are stuttering........my USB/OTG connections won't work or work only sometimes, the WIFI is connecting and disconnecting all the time now the proxy problem
Settings - Wi-Fi - Long klick on your network - "Modify network config" - tick "Show advanced options" checkbox
I hope you do know that Android does not support Proxy, In samsung Models the stock phone browser can be configured to run with Proxy settings, but none of your apps will work with Proxy on a wi-fi network.
This is a reported problem, the thread can be found as below
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17231
There are several other similar complains, but google at present does not seem to be interested to add proxy support
i'm using AutoProxy app from market. Working both on ICS and GB rom
on GB I could set the proxy in andvanced WIFI settings and it worked perfectly.
I am using Junos Pulse to set up the VPN, this worked fine with my SG2 and my Note.
Now on ICS I cannot get inot the ....advanced settings.... as I have mentioned in my post I know where this normally is to find and I tried to check this option after long pressing the particular WIFI spot, it appears and I check it but nothing happens........
Yes, I know that android has a problem with proxy, thats why I am using JUNOS PULSE . it is an app from Juniper Networks (firewall hardware manufacturer) and it worked fine, but I have to set the proxy IP and Port manually.
Again, I know where those settings normally are, but they stay grey and cannot be used.
So I'd like to ask someone here to verify my finding. Again, can s.o just go to WIFI....long tap your connection, then check advanced settings. Then please control, if this feature is available after saving. In my case it is not...............
thanks in advance for the support
and , of course Auto proxy is not of any use for my problem, also sorry but the stock browsers can never be set up for proxy. In Android only the Connection (in this case the WIFI) can be set up to talk to an fixed IP on a fixed port.
May be it helps if I describe what Junos Pulse is doing: Junos Puls is connecting to the server , establishes a VPN and gives your devise a new IP(internal) and catches the traffic and routes it to the proxy. But this proxy IP and port you have to publish first. This is normally done in Android by setting the advanced settings in the appropriate connection to the proxy IP and Port. Hope this helps
Problem solved. It was a font proplem. I had installed a customized font this caused th proxy settings to be grey. changed the font.
Now I can edit the proxy ip and port.
And my WIFI is working fine on our proxy through the VPN with Junos Pulse
Hey
Sorry for the noobness but I've searched all over for this and I can't find a decent tutorial for this...
I want to connect to my company wifi but it's unfortunately by proxys... I have friends there that have access but they are on 2.3.3 ICS don't seem to get connect.
Can anyone give some light on what you guys configure your proxys manually. I don't know the machine name and all those steps that are needed on the advance settings...
Please and thanks
Conection proxy server
I have the same problem. In a galaxy note 10.1 i can't conect a proxy server. I have set number of port and name of anfitrion Android i can't connect. Can i help me?
When using WiFi connection having proxy, apps won't work. There is a option to use proxy server but it is limited to only Web Browser which is really highly inconvenient for the users. Even Google Play Store won't work. Today almost every app needs an internet connection and without proxy support we are only stuck with mobile data which is slow as well as expensive.
I kindly request you to add a feature so that we can put the proxy for the full system and not only for web browser. Please consider this issue as High Priority and rectify it ASAP.
anyone please help
On your WiFi connection settings long press the wireless network (the one with the proxy) and it will prompt you to either 'Forget' or 'Modify'. Click "Modify" and then tick the "Show Advanced Options" box and it will show you proxy settings for that network. If that doesn't do the trick then try looking for proxy management apps or VPN apps (bypass proxy completely). I'm sure there's at least a few of those out there.

it would support only proxy without authentication
Yeah it seems authentication isn't supported in the Android system at the moment so the best choice would be to download a proxy app to do it for you.

For non rooted device you can also use Drony
