Hi, is there a way to connect to Ad-Hoc network on a laptop rather than connecting to Router when using Kies Air? I don't have a router at home.
Use Connectify on PC to make your laptop a Wifi hotspot
And then use AirDroid from Android market
Thanks bro. Will give this a try.
Is it possible to use Kies Air instead of AirDroid?
Connectify just creates an ad-hoc which was what i do using windows 7 easily and AirDroid still needs a wireless router to connect to. Ayone has another solution?
bump. i am still unable to get ad-hoc to work on my G Note.

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.

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:

Reading fail
He wants to share the PC's connection with the phone, USB tether and Wifi tether are for sharing the phones connection with the PC.
i have same requirement. because 3g signal in my N1 is very unstable. wifi as is. so i have only connect to internet via notebook. This is the biggest problem of my N1.
did anyone ever figure out if this is possible?
Is it possible to reverse tether.?
Example: I am in a place with only Edge or almost no signal. I have my laptop connected to a 50Mbit cable connection.
A router is not a option.
I would like to connect the Nexus to the laptop and use that as a router and Dl through that...to the phone.
Is that possible.?
Can I Dl from marked without a signal on the phone.?
find a program that allows your pc to send out a wifi signal; im not sure if they really exist though.
Im not sure if its possible to bridge a connection via usb either...
Huh? Is standard on wm6(with usb). Try ad-hoc wifi with laptop. Greets

its posible this, i read a LOT and not a solution =(
i read about wireless ad hoc conection but im looking for USB not wireless ad hoc, seems no one do it or maybe i didint read, using XP since apps like conectifity uses w7
thanks
assuming your computer is connected to the internet through at wire and if it also has wireless you can always create a "wifi hotspot". though having your phone use your computers net connection via usb... don't think you can do that. the closest you can get to that is a reverse ssh tunnel.
thanks for reply
perhaps what i want it share PC conection to phone
this can be done using wireless router and creating an ad hoc
perhaps i dont have a router or wifi in my pc to share i want use the USB wire cable to share my pc internet (ADSL)
like windows mobile

Nope, what you're trying to do won't work. Sorry!
I believe it is possible for a laptop to get internet access from a tab though the USB tether, Is it possible for it to be reversed?
Recently I broke the wifi trying to get it into ad-hoc mode, so I can't use the wifi to connect to the internet, marketplace, etc.
Is there a way for me to get a connection from my laptop to the tab?
Im on FROYO 2.2
Thanks,

Do you mean use your laptop as the wifi access point? In that case you will have to replace the default wpa_supplicant file. Search for the thread here....
Not as a wireless access point. I believe normally, you use the USB cable to get the internet on your computer from your Tab Data plan (Correct me if I am wrong)
So, I was wondering if you could use the internet connection from your laptop and forward it to your tab through the USB cable.
I use my tab as a wireless access point several times already-mostly at work because of network restrictions at the office.(Settings/wireless and networks/Tehtering and portable hotspots)
I don't know if you can use USB tethering from laptop to tab-probably not.....
Hi,
You can get a form.of reverse tethering over WiFi by using an application called Connectify (works best on Windows 7). Install Connectify, tell it which connection you want to share, then connect to the created hotbot on the Tab.
Obviously, if your Wifi is properly broken this isn't particularly useful, but Im not aware of any way that the USB interface could be used for tethering in that direction.
Hope this helps...

Yed as agc93 said, connectify shares your pc internet connection through wifi. You need to setup static ip address in the galaxy though.
Good luck
