How to configure my Galaxy S to connect my laptop to internet using USB connection to my Galaxy S? I installed Samsung USB drivers on my Win7 laptop and connect Galaxy S via USB. I went to Options -> Wireless and network -> Connection Sharing -> ticked USB sharing but error pops up on my Galaxy S.
What am I doing wrong? Did you succedded to share the connection?
I am using 2.3.6 JW4.
Thanks.
If you want to share your phone's mobile data connection via USB,
then,
1. use the pc data cable, connect the multifunction jack on your phone to the laptop.
2. in idle mode, select Applications - Settings - Wireless and network - Tethering and portable hotspot - usb tethering
3. to stop, clear usb tethering.

I'm trying to set my laptop up to use the td2 to get a connection to the internet. can this be done either via bluetooth wiFi or USB. I have tried to add a bluetooth network connection but the laptop keeps giving an error saying could not connect to the remote device.
When I plug mine into my laptop via USB, I get an option on the device to 'internet share'. Does this not happen for you? I'm not sure whether Windows Mobile Device Center is also needed, but it may be!
I did this today using a Macbook. The USB did not work on the Mac but Bluetooth did. I had to connect to the phone from the computer using ordinary bluetooth first (without network). Then I had to choose Internet Connection on the phone using Bluetooth PAN - which I assume is Bluetooth network. Also had to select Bluetooth PAN on Macbook - was a bit fiddly but it worked. Anyway it does work with USB on the PC see post 16 of the thread here.
cheers both, i will check out the other thread but when I connect the phone via USB to this (work) laptop, I get nothing. My home one uses Vista and Mobile Device Centre, but my work one uses XP.
typically, after a reboot the phone gives of the option to shart internet sharing but the laptop wants to install a rndis connection, but the only way to do this is connect to internet. ironic.
Ok, finally have a proper Interenet connection and downloaded Activesync 4.5 from MS. This looks like it will resolve the situation.
i use the 5.0.5.3 rom and use internet tethering when conect to computer
new network and conection is created then share the internet on conection
but cant use internet from usb cable
becuse i cant conect to google acount for sync contact
Your question is not too clear.
Did the usb tethering usb driver install ok?

How to use internet thtough usb from pc with i9000?I`m new with android,with WM and activesync everything goes easy...and here how?
same question here, tried a lot of things but nothing worked
AFAIK it is not yet possible at this time, just too much stuff to do to get it working
fastest way is to do a WiFi with your PC/laptop
there are software for the PC to make it into an AP even if you don't have a router
Froyo does comes with usb tethering option, but I don't have the chance to try it

Theres an option in About Phone in setting under usb setting. Select mobile internet, select that and plug into pc via usb cable. Wait for about 30sec and vola, you are all ready to go. No need for wifi.

don't really understand your question but...
For 2.1 - Settings > About Phone > USB Settings > PC Internet
Plug in your phone to your PC via the USB cable and wait for the drivers to install, once it's done you're able to tether using your phone's mobile network.
OR
Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile AP
Configure it, turn it on and connect it like a Wifi using your phone's mobile network as a hotspot.
For 2.2 - Settings > Wireless And Network > Tethering > USB Tethering [Checked]
Plug in your phone to your PC via the USB cable and wait for the drivers to install, once it's done you're able to tether using your phone's mobile network.
OR
Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile AP
Configure it, turn it on and connect it like a Wifi using your phone's mobile network as a hotspot.
hope that's what you're asking for.
what does PC Internet mean here ??
using pc's internet to cellphone
or
using cellphone's internet to pc ????
On WM PDA, the PDA can use the computer's internet for connectivity. However on Android, this feature is not implemented by anyone.
So what if you don't have WiFi, like me? My PC is connected to the internet through a USB modem.
When i connect my Galaxy S to the PC (Settings > About Phone > USB Settings > PC Internet) i get a (very fast) LAN connection but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is there anyway to configure either phone or PC so i can download or update apps from the market to my phone using the PC's connection (thus saving on my data limit)?????
Yes you can use your galaxy as a modem to connect your pc to internet by setting the usb setting to pc internet.

This I know, but the question is can I connect my phone to my PC's internet???
Done lots of research on this, Simple answer is NO you cannot share your PC's internet via USB to SGS. Winmo users like I dearly miss this feature from ActiveSync.
some newer laptops includes Ad Hoc WiFi
as in Share the laptop WiFi with another device nearby that uses WiFi
so the laptop acts as the AP
there are software for older laptop as well to do the same
I know you can wifi tether and I know about PDANet. Are there any other options for tethering over USB? Something minimal and free?
Using your phone as a modem (USB tethering)
You need your SIM card inserted on your phone to use the data connection.
Before you can use your phone as a modem, be sure to install HTC Sync on your computer first.
Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
Connect the phone to the computer using the provided USB cable.
On the Connect to PC screen, select USB tethering, and then tap Done.
Hi
I have SGS GT-I9000. I want to connect to internet using PC/laptop. How can this be done.
I tried teethring which connected to net via 3G on my handset.
A quick help is much appreciated..
Do you want to connect your pc to the internet by using 3g,
or do you want to share your computers internet to your sgs?
Either: under the settings, go to wireless and network, and in here go to Mobile AP, and follow the instructions. This sets up an adhoc wifi network that up to 5(?) devices can connect to to access the interweb through your SGS's 3G
If you want to access the internet using your laptop as a wireless router, then you need a free wireless connection (so if you have LAN cable to internet, and then a spare wireless card; or 2 wireless cards), and set up an adhoc network on your laptop that has internet connection sharing enabled, and then connect to that with your phone. This will allow the SGS to access the internet through your laptop's internet connection.
Thats from PC
thanks for the inputs.. what I wanted to know is :
1. My Laptop is connected to Internet with a LAN Cable.
I want to connect SGS to Laptop and Access Internet via Laptop.
Please refer to this question:
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/tutorials/using-pc-to-connect-to-internet/
In the response they have shown an option for PC internet. Is it possible?
You have to setup your laptop wifi in accesspoint mode and connect to it from the phone.
