Connect to the internet through a laptop

Hello!
I am connecting my Kaiser to my laptop through an ad-hoc connection. I set up internet sharing on the laptop, and created an ad-hoc connection on the laptop. The Kaiser connects to it, but I can't access the internet from the Kaiser. Maybe someone knows what can be the reason?
Thanks!
You need to use the "Internet Connection Sharing" program on your phone while connected via USB with Activesync. Ad-hoc mode is used if you want to share the connection over WiFi.
I really want to share the laptop's connection through wifi.
May I suggest the program WMWifiRouter. It costs $30 or 20 Euros, but will share your connection over Wifi, USB, Bluetooth. It also performs a number of other networking related function and is very easy to use but also has many options.
WMWifiRouter is used to share the pocket pc's internet connection, and I need to share the laptop's internet connection. Then, I want to connect my pocket pc to it, and access the internet through it.

[Q] Tether instead of wifi???

Just wondering if there is a way to tether to a computer with a wired connection to get Internet connection that way, instead of using wifi??? There is lots of apps and stuff that need to connect to the internet to download, but I dont have the wifi's at home.
And if not, is it a hardware limitation, or software???
as far as i know there is no way to get internet to your phone through usb cable.
you can probably work around it if you have a laptop wired to the internet or a wifi stick. you should be able to setup a hotspot through windows to share your wired connection over wifi.
If you are on Froyo, it is built in.
If you are on Eclair, use Acer EasyLink:
(credits to navygino on MoDaCo for figuring everything out):
1) Download & install this program, http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...uid&Step3=Liquid&OS=A01&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6
(I did this on Vista) Device Manager-->Modem-->Acer Android Modem-->Advanced-->enter the sting: +CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”apn name”
2) Open the Acer EasyLink software
3) Go to Settings
-The number is just *99#
-Make sure everything else is correct
Ohhhh sorry thats for wired tethering, using your mobile network on your computer.
As far as using your computers wired connection, I have no clue.
i know that monoxide.tryst is probably gone but for anyone else.
if you want internet on your device you can share your wired network to your phone if you have a laptop/wireless adapter.
Windows 7
go to "network and sharing center"
>on the left "Manage Wireless Networks"
>>click "Add"
>>>"Create an ad hoc network"
>>>>Put in SSID and Security code
>>>>>"next" and then select "Share my internet Connection"
This will setup a wireless hotspot from your laptop/adapter using your wired internet connection. Which then you can use your phone to connect too.

[Q] Internet sharing

How do I connect to internet from my Note?
Scenario:-
3G services on Note are not working.
I do not have a wifi router at home
I have a cable internet connection and can connect my laptop to internet.
I am running on Stock ROM , no ROOT.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Edited away
Since you don't have a router , create an adhoc wifi connection in your laptop and connect your note to that network.
Now go to the settings of your wired connection in your laptop and enable 'sharing' .
That's all.....you can now use your wired connection on your note through the AD hoc wifi network

Using Cellular data while connected to Wifi

This has been asked before, but on replies. I'd like to use my phone as a hotspot connecting my Chromecast, but it requires wifi. My work-a-round, create a Bluetooth tether from a workstation to my phone, sharing the bluetooth connection, enable a softap on a Windows 7 box, have the HTC One and Chromecast connect to softAP and stream through the phone, but ever time the HTC connects to the softAp, my data is routed through the wifi, and turns off the LTE/4G connection on my phone, but mobile data stays on.

This post says it's not technical possible to use both wifi and 3g/4g/lte for data at the same time?

Casting from phone with company VPN enabled issue

Hi!
I want to cast screen from my phone (LG G2 Android 4.4.2) to my TV when VPN to my company is enabled on this phone.
There is no problem when I do this from my laptop connected do VPN, but when I connect to company VPN from phone then chromecast connection dissapear.
Is there any solution? Please help.
Laptop is connected to my router via cable, phone via WIFI.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the answer is that you can't. I believe the Chromecast discovery implementation assumes that your CC will be on the same network as your primary network interface. Many VPN clients re-prioritize their network interface to #1 when they connect.
You could send Google feedback about the issue, but not clue how effective that will be: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3187017?hl=en
