Torrent and Internet Sharing...

Hi,
I am trying to use download using uTorrent when connected to the internet via Internet Connection sharing on my phone. It connects to client(s) for 1 or 2 seconds and then disconnects, without downloading any data. I have checked that the required ports are open and they are... has anyone managed to do this?
Cheers,
Neil

your provider is probably blocking it. torrents (like any traffic on a network) is traceable, thus block-able.

Torrents with internet sharing?
Man are you downloading rings tones?

you might be able to port scan your own connection and see if that port is close. If you're paying the tethering fee then call them and complain. Tell them you're trying to get a linux distro over torrent and now you can't get your favorite flava.

I thought about this for a bit and even though I do not use uTorrent with a tethered Kaiser, i do have internet issues..... They are probably related. I cannot connect to a web site that uses https on port 2000....
That is something that is only an issue AFTER a flash to Dutty's ROM....
anyone have any help to offer to get MediaNet working proper again?

It shouldn't be their business what you're getting though, isn't that what network neutrality is about? Not restricting flows of information from one PC to another. Of course if you're using extremely high bandwidth you may impact other people's service and that's not fair, but if I pay for bandwidth I should be able to use it on all my ports. It's not up to ISPs to regulate what you do on the internet, just as it isn't up to phone companies to stop you making phonecalls to certain people for whatever reason.

using bluetooth as g1's internet connection?

i have adsl on my pc. i want to use my bluetooth connection to share the net access that my pc has with my g1. any ideas how i can do that? thanks in advance.

you can do 1 of two things, format your computer and reinstall your OS which will get rid of the ads OR buy a wifi router and use that for your G1, but to answer your question NO there isnt a way to share your internet through BT

If you have windows vista, you can go to network sharing center and share the network via your wireless card(if your pc has a wireless card). But no, there's no way to share via BT, that I know of.

thanks for the responses.
i've searched this forum and found out that someone's been asking the same question but for windows mobile. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-319068.html. i wonder if it could be done in android. but cmiiw.

How to share internet connection from laptop to G1 over USB

If it possible, How to share internet connection from laptop to G1 over USB ?
Please suggest, Thank you.

What you want is called tether but in this case wired tether which is in most ROMs here

Actually I think he's looking for the inverse, which I've seen people look for before. I don't think I've seen a solution though.

I think he wants to do the oposite. Use the internet connection that his laptop is already using so that his G1 gets internet.
If that's the case, then please pass your phone to the nearest person and go read some internets...

Question is, why would you want to? Only reason I can seem to think of is if the laptop/desktop is connected through a wired connection, meaning you have no wifi at your house. If you do have wifi, and your laptop is connected through wifi to your ISP, then your phone can also connect with it's wifi adapter to the same AP.

Wow I just assumed he wanted to use the phone as a router.

I was sharing internet through BT and Wifi for some time, but did not succeed to do it over USB. Beside there is one big problem: even if you will set everything on linux level and have internet in your phone, Android will not know about it. So apps which don't make checks for internet connectivity will work, but these which do, will be waiting for internet. I've found some workarounds, but that problem is really frustrating.

For some people as in my case, wifi and/or cellular sometimes is not an option.

[Q] Tethering help

Hi guys
I have a question.
I use my galaxy note to tether and connect to the internet with my laptop and my xbox360 at times, as the speeds and quality of service i get from my mobile provider are pretty darn good, its actually as fast as the standard 8mb home broadband that we get in this are at the moment.
I have tho discovered a problem with it, when using my note with the mobile hotspot active and connected via wifi to my xbox 360, the xbox shows the connection as being firewalled and restrictive, so it sometimes stops me getting the best out of it.
Do you guys know how to resolve this, theres no pc or router involved, just 360 and galaxy note, so im assuming the android system must have some kind of firewall system, or its because of the type of connection, and is there a way to maybe disble the firewall in the engineer settings or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does xbox support WPA2 PSK? Did you try open network?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Thats a thought, yer the xbox supports wpa2 because it connects and lets me play games online, watch movies on lovefilm use fb etc etc, so no problems at all with the connection but no ive not tried it with an open network, i will try and see if it makes a difference, usually i dont use open networks because i have people in my area that tend to use others open networks so i try to avoid the issue by having it secure but thanks for the reply, i shall give that a go and see if it makes a difference.

Using Chromecast in a hotel

I plan to bring my Chromecast with me when I travel, but I imagine the Chromecast will have trouble connecting to the hotel Wifi since most hotels have that gateway page you have to go through before you are actually connected to the internet. Is there an easy way around this without bringing my own router with me?
Thanks!

I travel for a living and live about 1/2 of the year in a Marriott.. Here are a few options that I use.
1. Bring a small travel router - this really isn't as bad as it sounds. Is really easy and they make very small ones. Here is what I use: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-MR3020
2. Connect your laptop via ethernet and use windows to share it via wifi. - This works, but it can be a pain. Some VPN clients really don't like this however.
3. Use a MiFi or Cell Phone in Hotspot mode.
I will either do #1 or 3 depending on the hotel and if I am in the US or not.
Hope this helps...

Worse comes to worse you could always use a phone or tablet as a hotspot!

Thanks for the help! I have Pdanet installed on my gs3, but I haven't been able to set up the Chromecast without a third device in the mix. Using my work laptop is out of the question since I can't install the Chromecast app on it. I don't like to bring my personal laptop along with me on business trips since it's kind of bulky and heavy for a 2 night trip. I have an old Android tablet I can bring along with me to set everything up and control the Chromecast from but it would be awesome if I can get it working with ONLY the gs3 and Chromecast. Is there some way to make that happen? Or will I need a third device in the mix because the gs3 cant be a hotspot and controller at the same time?

I have this same question. I read on the developer site that wireless isolation must be disabled in order to use the chromecast. This could be a problem since most public WiFi has this feature enabled (and if they don't they should!). I have a chromecast, a tablet, and an android phone so if the hotel WiFi doesn't work I can always hotspot with phone and control with tablet. However, this is not ideal since I don't have unlimited data plan. It will be interesting to see how much data the various apps' use. I have 3 trips planned the next 3 weeks and will see how it goes!

A computer with wifi (a computer just jacked into a router in wont work) is a necessary part of setting up chromecast to a new network.
edit: actually i might be wrong on that, testing something now
---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------
Okay, this is what I just did.
I turned Wireless Tether on my phone on. This means wifi can't be on at all and thus your phone can't be on the same network as the chromecast, and won't be able to control chomecast.
BUT
I downloaded the Chromecast app from the playstore to my Nook HD+. It found the Chromecast on my home network and I tapped on it, and saw my Chromecast on my home network (which the nook was also on). I was able to change it from my home network to my phone. This changed the network both my Nook and Chromecast were connected to from my home network to my phone network. I just chromecasted netflix from my Nook to my TV via chromecast fine. So basically I was able to set it up on a new network with no need for a computer.
So if you are traveling, I believe you are going to need to set up your Chromecast to know your phone's wifi network/password before you go. Why? Because my Nook (or your tablet) can't change the network of the Chromecast without already being on the same network. But at this point, I could now take the three devices anywhere now, plugging chromecast into a TV, setting up my phone to tether, and using my tablet to control it.
Annoyingly, once I turned off tethering, the chromecast borked and I had to re-run setup to get it back on my home wireless network. So, it doesn't seem to save multiple networks, unless I did something wrong.

If needed you could always factory reset your Chromecast by holding down the button for 25 seconds. If you do that, you can set it up from the Chromecast app on your nook and set it to your phone's hotspot.

You wouldn't want to connect a chrome cast to public wifi anyways. Then the guy in the room next door could mess with your playback. Travel Router/Hotspot are your best bets (plus being on your own network is a better idea for privacy and security anyways).

I work for a WiFi company and we manage the WiFi for dozens of hotel chains throughout the nation. If you contact the technical support number provided by the hotel they can "Bypass" your Chromecast. All they would need is the IP address or MAC address of your Chromecast, we'll locate it in the DHCP pool and then whitelist it. This will cause it to bypass the login page.

I am pleasantly surprised that they would be willing to do that. I figured anything that could possibly take away from the built in pay for viewing content would not be allowed. The other problem though is Wireless Isolation; it disables wireless clients from being to able to see/talk to each other on the wireless network. This is a problem for chromecast since the "casting" device must be able to talk to the chromecast in order to cast content to it. Do you know how widely used the wireless isolation feature is in the hotel biz? Also if it is enabled is there a way to whitelist the chromecast and casting device so that they would see each other on the hotel's wireless network?

Ah yeah, forgot about the isolation. Most of our configs are set to not allow wireless devices to allow any type of communication with other devices (Allow traffic between wireless clients)

I'd say ask to speak with a Tier2 and explain the whole situation. They may very well disable the isolation for at least that one night if you get lucky. This is all if you visit one of the locations that we manage. Not sure about other companies.

I suppose you could plug a computer into the hotel's hardwire Internet and enable wireless Internet Connection Sharing rather than bringing a router, if you will already be bringing a computer anyway.

actually there is no need of program on the first linkk
on the second link someone pretty much write a code for the steps on the first link

MAC spoofing
I was wondering if this would work.
If I were to spoof the MAC of the chromecast on my cell phone, connect to the hotel wireless, sign in through the gateway, then un-spoof my MAC and connect again with my real MAC. Wouldn't the gateway whitelist both MACs?

Depends if it is whitelisting off MAC or off IP. Either way, you still have wireless isolation problem. There would need to be some type of cloud based controller built-in to chromecast that could forward commands between chromecast and client(s).
Google...if your listening please develop chromecast cloud controller. That would be awesome

Do these things need a wired connection? Those are becoming rare in hotels. Is there a product that creates a personal wifi network, while getting internet from public wifi?
