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.

Sharing PC connection over WiFi

Hello, I googled around, but i can't seem to find an app for my needs.
I have a PC with Internet connection and a laptop. So i want to use the phone's wifi as a card for the pc, which to share my connection over the wifi and connect the laptop. Is there an app for that?
It should look like this:
Internet -> PC -(usb)>phone - (wifi)> laptop

there is no app for that and it would not work will as the phone does not have the prcessing power to maintain two different syncs at the the same time.
Not to mention the fact the your battery will be drained in no time flat because of the heavy wifi use as well as drawing on the processor to handle such a load.

just buy a router

Yea i thought of that but just checking, anyway I'm in need of a router
10x all

what about WMWifi http://global.wmwifirouter.com/features/
# Support for sharing your cellular data connection over Bluetooth and USB
# Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa
# Support for sharing your WiMAX connection to USB and Bluetooth

Shouldn't that just work via Internet Sharing? If you connect the phone's Wifi and turn off Data... would that work? Then connect the PC to the phone by USB or Bluetooth.

[Q] Reverse Tethering a PC to a Tab

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

Bluetooth Sharing

Hi everyone
Well I had Jelly Bean for a long time ago (since they ported it) and now I'm on ParanoidAndroid 1.9.2.
I just wanna know how to activate tethering from my Mac using BT cuz I left my AirPort to a friend ... I just want to notice that tethering WiFi connection over BT in Jelly Bean is working very well but slow connection (BT speed : 1MO/s)
So can I do the revers by Sharing Internet via BT Pan. Other thing : the recognise the BT sharing from my phone as a Pan connection not DUN.
Thanks for any help!

I got a better solution for me. Get the AirDroid app from the playstore. Deactivate mobil data and create a mobile wifi Hotspot with your phone. Connect your mac or PC and share your files.
hope it is a possible solutions for you.
Edit:
Sorry, didn't get it right. You can share your Internet via USB too. Should be handled with good speed.
