Reverse tethering or.?

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

[Q] Tethering, USB Ejecting USB; Safely Remove option is gone...

I installed the driver needed to tether USB using cm6 and windows XP. It works fine, but I lost the ability to safely remove hardware in the taskbar in lower right on my PC. I tried to turn on the USB storage on my phone, it worked on the hero's end but it did not show up on my PC, normally it is E: drive. So I tried to disable Android USB Ethernet in the device manager, thinking it would pick back up as a storage device, no luck. I even scanned for hardware changes ADB is not seeing my phone either! This is getting worse and worse as I type!
OK I used USBDeview to uninstall the tether from usb ports, and device manager to uninstall the driver for the usb tether. I then restarted my PC plugged up the ol hero and everything is back to normal However my question is; Can I reinstall the USB tether driver for WinXP and be able to continue to use ADB, and mount SD, not all at once but as it was I could not do that. Once I installed USB tether I lost all ability to ADB and mount my SD for drive E: on the PC. I even tried disabling the USB network adapter using device manager. I guess its wireless tether from here on out?
Thanks for the help

Anytime you use usb tether, you can't use storage or adb. And it's a known bug in cm6 that stopping tether does not restore usb/adb use unless you reboot your phone. My fix is to use wired tether for root users. Of course you still can't use adb and tether at the same time, but when you stop it, adb returns.

So I reboot phone and I can use storage and adb again, without uninstalling the USB driver for tethering. Good to know, Thanks!

Reinstalled usb tether driver and tested, good. Rebooted phone and was able to adb and mass storage!
Thanks

Try that wired tether app, just google it. You don't have to restart the phone when you're done using it to usb tether

Awesome! Just installed and like the fact I dont have to reboot, I dont have to tether often but when I do I like it to be easy.
Thanks

My phone isn't bringing up the mount option?

Well, when I plug my phone into either my ps3 or computer the phone will recognize that it is in USB, but in the pulldown menu it gives me no option to mount it. What would cause this? I tried restarting my phone, but that didn't help.

Settings -> Application -> USB Settings -> Ask on Connect

As long as your pc doesnt display a message telling you the device has malfunctioned and windows doesnt recognize it its more than likely configuration issue with your phone.
the usb connection interface is wonky and Ive replaced one phone already because it failed completeley.
Good luck hope this helps.

I don't think that would have fixed it anyway. It recognized that it was connected in mass storage, but it just didn't give me the option to mount it for some reason. Anyway, I got it to recognize it after I kept switching mass storage on and off

You never mentioned you had USB debugging enabled? Did you?

I am using a Custom ROM and from time to time my computer doesn't recognize that I have connected my phone via USB. I usually can be sure on my Computer Explorer isn't opened then disconnect and re connect USB cable. Also if my phone has been connected and I haven't Mounted and phone "goes to sleep". I have to disconnect USB,Wake the phone and then connect USB and immediately Mount.

It wasn't my computers problem though, thats the thing... It was something with the phone. I still don't know exactly what is causing it, but this is not the first time it has happened.

[Q] Using the Note as a modem for a router

My internet connection is down and right now I'm using my Note as a modem for my computer. But when I'm doing this I cannot access my LAN (of course). Is there a way to use the Note as a modem for my router so I can connect my computer through the router and have both internet access and LAN access?
My router is a Cisco E4200.

Just checking, what were you using to connect your computer to the router before using the note, what other devices are there and what are they connected by?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

My computer connected through WLAN to the router. I have several other devices connecting with a mix of cable and WLAN to the router.

hmmm...
ur phone has usb tethering capability.. y dont u utilize it as it will use the usb port
and u can still connect to ur LAN using wifi

True. That is acceptable, but that would leave all the other devices without a connection. How do I connect through USB? I have activated USB tethering in the phone and connected it with a cable but nothing happens. I'm using OS X.

Presuming DHCP is obtained through the router or manual and the router can handle switching an ethernet cable from the mac to the router would work.

EDIT
Just read up, you wanted to give all of the devices on your network an Internet connection through your note?
EDIT
It is possible to do it from the computer if that's the case but for the sake of simplicity let's first connect the note directly to the router.

That would be nice, but mainly I want to be able to access internet and my LAN from my computer.

Connect via wifi tethering. You should be able to access ur LAN via cat5 cable.
If not, RECONFIGURE your router to the same IP rangr used hy ur note.

Never found a cable which I could try with and now my normal connection is working again so really dont need it. But thanks anyway and I will try all this next time.

Can't Connect via PC Companion wirelessly.

Ok i've been trying to connect wirelessly to my laptop for more than an hour now. I do every step and when it comes to "to to usb connectivity and click on laptop name and then connect" it just hangs on connecting on the phone.
On PC it says that PC Companion will move to next step automatically when connecting is done. So, what I am doing wrong? Laptop is with Win8.

I take it you have wifi turned on and connected to the sane router as your computer, can I ask what you are trying to do because there are loads of app if you are trying to transfer files from phone to computer which root isn't needed

Edit: one other thing you can always use/try is a wireless adb install/push from Google play depending how good you do knowledge is
Adb install (location on computer) sdcard0 (or 1 for sd card) \ I think it is
But have a read about it because you can even get a log cat from it
Edit 2 something like this

Well you have lot of options to minimize opening of flaps.
First of course try to fix wifi network between xperia and router. Check for DHCP settings, try using WDS option if you have it.
I would also check if phone is recognised in windows networking.
there is an app on playstore that should work and prolly lot of them on pc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en
You could get cheap dock and use it for sync and charging, you just change usb from charger to pc
Bluetooth transfer.

What should I check regarding DHCP? Also how can I check if my laptop is recognizing my phone?
It IS recognizing it when it's connected via usb.
I'm looking for DK26 dock but it looks like everywhere is out of stock or not delivering to my country. There are only overpriced sellers 40pounds + PP

Okay so your laptop is connected wirelessly and your phone is connected wirelessly with then same router?
If you install a adb wireless open/run as I have said in Op, enable debugging and then open adb and type adb connect "your phone's ip which the app on your phone will say"
Now does it say connected or failed if it says connected then type adb devices and you should get back your device adb code, if this works then I am wondering if your firewall software is blocking PC Companion to connect but I personally don't use PC Companion as long as adb works and a wifi transfer then that is all you need because in the incident that you need to use Senior flashtool that is done via cable
By the looks you are in the UK as well I have had a nightmare to get a Sony dk26 dock just keep trying because I bought mine Monday when they came back into stock but then by the time I had paid they had sold out again so I got one just in time

Just tried it and it also hung for a while but just leave it and for a while and it then worked.

I had it working only one day, don't know what happened now I can't pair it wirelessly with PCC.
The Sony PCC write a file in the root of SD with the name of your PC when you do the pairing, delete it and retry. Also sometimes the procedure is very long I remember with other Xperia sometime it took almost 10/15mn to get it done.
If you want a third party app there is Filepush (here on xda and play store) that transfert file over wlan but only in one direction PC > Devices.

What is the size of the file in SD with your PC name wrote by PCC?

My file is 0.00kb. I've deleted it and I will try again as soon as i come home.

Ok, I just tested under ADB and its unable to connect.
I looked on internet and it looks like its router problem, port forwarding and stuff like that, the main problem is that I don't know how to forward port in my Netgear WNR2000
So if anyone can help me i would be very grateful.
Thanks to everyone that helped me so far. It looks like if i forward port 8000 it will work.

okay so you turn adb app on and it gives you a ip address to enter e.g 192.168.8.6:5555 then you are now trying to connect on the laptop to it: adb connect 192.128.8.6:5555

Yes, and its unable to connect.
I connected it to other router and it worked, but I dont know why its not working on netgear...

Well it looks like Pc Companion may be problem, I never use official programs because they mostly do not work good, like samsung kies for example.
However I tried this program I already suggested to you:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...transfer&hl=en
The program works just like it should without problems, maybe you could give it a go to check if its working for you.
Or you may use some other app that behaves similiar, and add that network location to your windows for faster access sync.

Airdroid is even better, it works amazing.

I paired my Xperia Tablet Z in less than 5 minutes same setting as usual, then tried to pair my Xperia Z, no way!
Don't know why mobile doesn't work while tablet does...

here is my 2 cents.. looks like I am resurrecting a dead thread. I tried to connect my tab Z with wifi.. I read the instruction clearly I think it says that the computer must be connected to router wired. Anyhow I tried connecting with network configuration. On 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 I could connect it to router both with wifi.. upgraded to 4.4.2 its a no go. I get
this.
