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.

[Q] Connect to internet via laptop

Hi,
I searched to find a way to connect my Note to my laptop's internet, but couldn't find a way.
I have no wifi router and therefor I wonder if there is a way to surf internet in my Note by using laptop's internet connection.
Thanks for any suggestions

Connectify. Or reverse tethering (search for it in Android apps section).

Thank you
After trying so hard to get the first option to work on my PC i had to give up.
Tried second one and downloaded the trial from google play and I am now amaized how fast and good this is working. Now I have full internet access on my Note. As fast as my PC's. But you have to use the cable thou.

There's a new app called Opengarden. I haven't tried it, but it looks promising. It uses bluetooth, I think.

Not same
Opengarden is not supporting reverse tethering it is tethering. It means you can use Opengarden to use your mobile's internet on your pc, not your pc's internet on your mobile like reverse tethering. Two diffrent apps.

Just so i've the picture clear, are you using a 3G Dongle to connect to the net on your laptop.

I am using a cable. It is student biulding and I connect the cable to my PC and the internet is there.
The problem is that the galaxy Note does NOT support AD Hock as I tried much and changed some system setings from /system/bin. If there was a solution for NOTE to support Ad Hock it would be amaizing.

OK, this one make me little clear but my another doubt is If you have a PC with wifi and my PC having no wifi, then i try to use Android WIFI as my PC WiFi temperaly, Is this possible.

there is nothing mentioned about the wifi
and no special button to activate it
so I can say that wifi is not there why not just try Bluetooth instead of asking

Ok great, as your suggestion if I use Bluetooth....
Describe me for example if ur laptop is defaultly enable Bluetooth, I want to communicate ur system thru Bluetooth, but my PC does not have Bluetooth, can I use my mini Bluetooth as a PC Bluetooth (possibility of sharing android Bluetooth temperarly as PC blutooth) ???????:beer:

I don't think if you can use your mini's wifi to have wifi on PC but you can try connecting through wifi and then through USB tethering supply data access to PC
not sure if this will work

Any way thanks, I just try and get back to u

From what I get,u wanna use ur wifi internet connection on ur PC(that doesn't have wifi), of course you can connect your phone to wifi and then use the wifi tether app to share internet via USB.

Internet sharing over bluetooth

I have a high speed wired Internet connection at work, and would like to be able to connect to it with my N7. I bought the usb 4.0 dangle for my desktop, and can connect fine but can't figure out how to share the internet connection. I think I need to run some software on my N7? There seems to be a lot of discussion about tethering a windows laptop to a cellphone to share the cellphone's data connection, but not much about going in the other direction. Any help appreciated.

Try searching for "USB tether" Google Play. There's more than a few free apps.

I'm not looking for usb tether. I'm looking to tether the nexus 7 to windows 7 over bluetooth 4.0. The only potential solution I've found is "open garden," but I'm a bit worried about security.

I think that's the only application for your exact need...if I come across any others I'll post here and let you know.

Or you could buy a cheap Wifi router? Bluetooth has very low transfer speeds. Max speed is 25mbps and that's probably on top of each other.
There is software on the net that turns your PC into a router and spits out internet over wifi. I had to use this in a hotel with wired only connections.
If your trying time avoid wifi for some reason... good luck. Bluetooth is a pain to setup but I'm.sure there are apps for it somewhere.

Can't use a wifi router because they detect it and shut off the connection.
Open garden works perfectly, but some programs including k-9 mail don't think there is an Internet connection. Have to manually sync (which works). I've seen some suggestions that if I reinstall and set up k9 with the open garden connection it might work. When I get time I'll post results.

Would something like a ZTE MF60 mobile hotspot work? it's a 3g wifi router, I use one with my N7 at work or out and about very successfully.
The downside is you wouldn't be using the works high speed connection but your own 3g connection which obviously you'd have to pay for.

This is not bluetooth, just USB, but maybe it can meet some of your needs.

[Q] Bluetooth PAN

Hello all,
I am on Zeus 1.1 and got stuck into a strange problem.
I am using a Mac with broken Wi-fi but Ethernet and Bluetooth.
MAC has Bluetooth PAN internet sharing and I set it to share.
But it doesnt see OB as a PAN device even its paired.
It only shows send or receive and browse files in OB (which works).
And yes there is pand in system/bin in OB.
Any idea?

You want to use internet from phone on a MAC via bluetooth ?.. you can't use USB tethering?

Hmm, I am yet to find a way to get PAN service in OB. Seems Android hide this services without any reason. Last time when I had Galaxy S (yeh obsolete) It had no PAN too.
What is strange that Bluetotth FTP is hidden for Windows/Linux too but same works flawlessly with OSX. Any experience with this?
