Is there anyway to access internet on the HTC if you just have a PC connected to internet ?
using WM5 it's possible using active sync, but after i upgraded to WM6 it's not possible..
any clues ?
upgrade activsync
well....i downloaded the active sync from internet..
my IE on the desktop is using a proxy.. not sure if i need to configure something on the phone.
thanks for the reply
Is Active Sync required?
My nephew doesn't have AS installed (doesn't have a WM phone) and I wanted to be able to conect to the net without having to remember to taked an AS disk with me.
it's possible using wifi and routing the wifi from the pc to the isp
otherwise it's not possible
The only way how i know is whit bluetooth
Whenever I travel I take a bit of internet with me so I can use it in emergencies.
Another way to access the "computer's" internet over your phone is to use internet sharing from the laptop and create an ad hock wireless network between the laptop and the phone. That works great for me in places where there is no wireless but wired internet.
Check out this link if you would like to learn how to setup Ad Hoc Internet Sharing.
I can access the Internet whenever I have the HTC connected through my PC via USB and ActivSync.
Accessing the internet normally engages the GPRS data path, but with the USB to the PC (assuming the PC is connected to the 'net) it connects without engaging GPRS and routes through the PC.
It works on Vista and XP without any problems.
Another neat trick is using the HTC to allow me to access the Internet from my laptop when I'm away from the Office i.e. HTC -> USB -> Laptop -> IE Browser -> Internet. By using 'Internet Sharing' in programs folder.

Hi, I know, probably someone have made the same question but I haven't found anything in the forum.
Is it possible share my internet connection from pc to android via usb or via wifi?
how? thanks
If your PC is on a wired connection with a wireless card you could probably bridge the connection (or just use internet connection sharing if you use windows) and make an ad-hoc network to connect to via wifi.
I have a laptop connected via ethernet... how I can make a ad hoc connection?
I have tried to create one, but the phone don't find anything!!
Nobody can help me ?
You can use Tether WiFi and make your handset as Adhoc access point.This will only work on rooted handsets.
Secondly use something like PdaNetA115 for wired usb connection to use your phone as modem in both cases.Will work with rooted/unrooted.
There is another one which is Tether Bluetooth for rooted phones.

Wrong way, he's trying to use his laptop's connection to get wifi to the phone, not trying to use the phone as a modem. Looking at some other stuff and trying it myself it doesn't look like you can connect the phone to ad hoc. Sorry
and via usb??? is it possible?
maybe with some adb command....
I have used this method on the micro hero 1.3, CyanogenMod v4.1.11.1 and I am just about to set it up on micro hero 1.4.

I have read on another site that this line should be added to the very end to change it back to read only
"mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
The wifi modem at my G/Fs mothers has no internal PPPoE login and her adsl connection needs a PPPoE login, Android cant do this or I havnt been able to find and app that does.
I use my laptop(with 2 wifi cards, one internal and 1 external(pcmcia)) to do the PPPoE login(internal wifi) on the laptop and then share this connection via ad-hoc(external wifi) to my G1.
One thing that I would like to point out, if I lose the connection between the G1 and the laptop, I have to reboot the laptop to get it to share the internet again.I haven't worked out why yet.
I have ordered a new modem/wifi/router of ebay that will do away with all this crap, but for now it is a work around that does works, until the new modem arrives.
Hi All,
I also am looking for a way to get the phone connected to the internet FROM the PC via USB.
reason:
I have a Corporate SW that connects to WIFI access points around the world for free (at least free to me, not to the company).
this is done through a SW on the PC. now, I cannot mad an AD Hoc connection because the WIFI is already working. and I also cannot connect using the phone wifi due to the same reason..
is there a way to connect the phone to the Internet through the USB cable?
Thanks,
Itamar
Hi,
I just change my HTC HD for the Nexus One and I really need a way to do that, like ActiveSync for WM.
Is there a solution to use the pc connectivity with android using the USB cable ?
many thx
for WiFi sharing, you could try this: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/how_to_turn_your_windows_7_computer_into_a_wireles.php
I'm going to test it this weekend
Maybe this too:

Hi,
HTC Desire natively does not have the ability to see AdHoc connections.
So you will need to do some hacking,good thin this is easy !
Use this link :

Unfortunately i don't have enough privileges to post links...so you make it a link
Good luck !
If the PC is connected to Wifi, there is no reason the Android device wouldnt be connected as so aswell.
Is there anyway I can share the internet on my notebook to my Android through USB cable, just like Activesync on WM ?
I can ofcourse use Wifi & connect to the same network my notebook is connected to, but the reason I wanna do this is to save power of the Android device by not using Wifi.
Well, here's a reason.... I fly alot and have a software from my workplace that connects me free to almost any non-free hotspot at airports around the world..
that means I can't use wifi on my device and am already using the wifi interface on my PC to connect to the internet.
which leaves me with a dongling USB cable that cannot pass the internet to my phone..
Bummer
im facing the same problem bec. i use a usb modem and i have only the cable to share the pc net on my android so .........waiting for an idea
share internet from pc to android via wifi
I used below way to share pc's internet via wifi.
Prerequisite
laptop:
Windows XP SP3
WIFI + LAN (access internet via LAN)
Android SDK has been installed.
phone:
HTC Desire with official 2.2 Android
Steps:
1. Rooted the phone with unrevoked3.
Because I can not paste link, Please search relevant threads.
Please notice, select "charge only" when link phone to PC.
Do not unplug phone till unrevoked3 display "done".
2. Set NAT on laptop
Please search relevant threads.
a) Modify Registry Entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
IPEnableRouter=1
In Command Prompt window, run below command:
b) net stop remoteaccess # Stop the RAS Service
c) netsh routing ip nat install
d) netsh routing ip nat add interface "Local Area Connection" full # This interface have internet link
e) netsh routing ip nat add interface "Wireless Network Connection" private # traffic on this interface will be routed.
f) netsh routing ip nat add interface Internal private
g) net start remoteaccess
h) command "netsh routing ip nat show interface" will output
NAT Internal Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Private Interface
NAT Local Area Connection Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Address and Port Translation
NAT Wireless Network Connection Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Private Interface
3. Enable phone's Hot-Spot with default configuration(DHCP enabled).
Configure laptop connect to phone as AP.
So my laptop's WiFi interface will be DHCPed an ip 192.168.1.157
my phone ip is 192.168.1.1
4. Add route and DNS on phone.
a) "adb shell" in command prompt, then "su".
Now you should login as root.
b) run "ip route add default via 192.168.1.157",
So all phone's traffic will be routed to laptop's WiFi interface.
My LAN interface ip is 192.168.15.100.
Just try "ping 192.168.15.100", It should return successful response.
c) Set DNS server, run "setprop net.dns1 192.168.15.1", Get DNS from laptop with command "ipconfig /all".
Not try ping a existed web site. It should return correct response.
Note:
Windows XP can keep NAT configuration after restart. But you should re-run Step 4 after restart phone's hot-spot.
E-Market and Build-in Browser do work. But GMAIL does not work. It seems Gmail check network connection type.
share PC internet with Android over USB
I also need this solution badly... Let's experiment. Anyone got any ideas?
well, here is my thoughts
1) Create VPN server in phone\network, the server address is 127.0.0.1, enable PPTP protocol
2) adb forward tcp:xxxx tcp:1723
The tcp:1723 is phone's PPTP port
3) Setup a VPN server on PC using port xxxx
4) Start VPN connection on phone
Any idea?
Mac to Android via WiFi
I forgot that this requires ad-hoc support :-/
If you have a mac, you can share your wired/wireless connection via WiFi.
1) Open System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing > Enable
2) Join a wireless connection on plug in ethernet
3) Click airport in the menubar, then 'Create Network'.
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.

Hi,
I have very bad WIFI signal in my room and my computer is connected via cable to router at 1 Gb/s connection so no problem. The problem is when I try to use my devices in my room that I have very slow speeds on WIFI so I was wondering if I can connect my Lumia 435 to the PC and the Lumia take the computer internet connection and make a hotspot for other devices. It's called reverse tethering but I don't know how to setup this type of connection beetween my PC and Lumia 435 with Windows Phone 8.1
You need a wifi adapter. Is like a usb pendrive.
Have you looked at connectify?
I think that software does that too
If your computer has a WiFi adapter you can easily set it to broadcast as an access point, sharing its wired connection. For Windows, there's a pretty nice program called Virtual Router Manager, though you can do it with nothing but an admin command line and the "netsh" utility (built in).
If your computer doesn't have a WiFi adapter, you can pick one up for cheap (less than $20, usually). I don't know of any way to reverse tether a Windows Phone device, though. The phone can, of course, broadcast a hotspot, but it will only do so to share the cellular connection; it won't share the connection from any other source.
Hi All,
I have read the various guides and the FAQ at Samsung's website but I cannot figure out if you can use Dex mode for PC without a wifi connection on laptop or phone. Basically what I would want to accomplish is Dex mode running on my laptop while utilizing the mobile data connection on the phone to provide the internet access to the Dex window on the laptop. I know I would not have wifi or internet on laptop this way but I can make Dex full screen and use the mobile data connection, I could then have a working substitute. Basically using the laptop as the monitor only at that point. I am waiting to upgrade my phone until I can get this figured out.
Thanks All,
Rob

Note9 doesn't have DeX on PC (AFAIK), if you managed to get it working I can't see why it wouldn't work as the phone is connected to the laptop via USB and should be able to communicate through only the USB connection.
