Connecting nexus one to Internet via USB

Before i unlocked and flashed my Nexus one, it was enough to connect my Nexus one via USB to my Laptop to use laptop internet connection.
The first time i did it, Windows installed a bridge network.
Now that i am using a customer ROM (CYA 5.5.0.3), it does not work anymore.
Any idea if it is removed from the custom ROM, or if i need any kind of menu to make it to work?
Thanks in advance
Cedric

any taker?
i cannot be the only one that is interested in this basic function?

Have you tried the Wireless tether application? It does the exact same thing as USB tether, but wirelessly:

Reading fail
He wants to share the PC's connection with the phone, USB tether and Wifi tether are for sharing the phones connection with the PC.

i have same requirement. because 3g signal in my N1 is very unstable. wifi as is. so i have only connect to internet via notebook. This is the biggest problem of my N1.

did anyone ever figure out if this is possible?

tethering... how?

Hello,
I wanted to know how to tethering using CM5.
I have a htc magic (vodafone 32B) and a laptop with bluethooth.
I turn off my wifi and turn on the bluethooth on my laptop. I sync my phone and my laptop with bluetooth. But it will not let me browse the web on my laptop via 3G.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong.
Yes I turned tethering on in the settings.

Umm. im prety sure the tethering included in cm5 is unly usb meaning you have to plug your phone into your laptop with a usb cable to get internet.

if your version of cm5 doesnt have it you can download Wireless Tethering for root users but it uses WiFi not Bluetooth you can get the file here make sure you set up your phone to install from unknown sources. but i do believe that cm5 comes with Wireless Tethering check your application list

[Q] two Gingerbread Problems

Hey Guys
i have to questions about gingerbread. I´ve at the moment this version installed:NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.3_NAND_(Android-2.3.2)_update, but i think it is a more general issue.
Is it possible the have internet access via usb cable connection and windows7!?
In froyo i was able to select between my sd card, loading and internet passthrough.
Second thing is: i like to have this app. someone knows the name of it?

Is this as issue with all Gingerbread versions? Which version is recommendable?

Is nothing else like wifi tethering. In some builds works only after the installation of an appropriate application such as "wired tether 1.4" (market,google), unless you mean about the shared internet connection on your device from your win7 via usb...

no as far as i understood is tethering the other way around. tethering is the connection of my computer via mobile internet connection but i wanna have the other way around...
i want to use the usb cable to connect my mobile to the internet via win7

I don't think you can do that. And the "application" you're talking about is actually part of the Sense roms that you can download. You can't get it on your current rom, no matter what/how much you try.

You could use vnc and connect your phone to your pc that way. But then you would see the desktop of your pc on your phone and remote control your pc.
Not the same as sharing the internet connection but depending on what you want to do it may be sufficient.

the USB tethering your talking about, is only for HTC Sense roms. stock android 2.3 doesnt have that feature other than wifi tethering.

Like MS Active sync for Windows.
Can't do it without software on PC side, so it's not possible for now.

The only reason I left the NexusHD ROM was because I didn't like how I couldn't manage connections through the dropdown menu that you posted the picture of. Currently on MDJ CM7 V2.6

to the OP, you could simply connect you phone via wifi to your home router and get internet access that way.
it imho would be cumbersome to remain wired to your pc for internet access passthrough.

hope i don't have these problems when i try it out!

[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

possible to enable usb tethering on HP touchpad?

hi guys,
i'm on the cm9 rom now and would like to make use of the "reverse tethering" app to leech my fast desktop connection via USB, so that i can sync files faster through dropbox.
to do that, i need to have USB tethering enabled on HP touchpad. would this be possible?

anyone?

If your desktop is connected via Ethernet but has wireless capabilities there is an app for PC's called connectify that can make your PC a wireless hotspot .

What exactly is your setup is your desktop connected by Ethernet to a wireless router, how is the tablet connected.
what is that you are trying to achieve, the more info you can give the easier it will be for me to replicate and hopefully come up with an answer.
regards

my hp touchpad can connect via wifi, but it's a lot slower than a wired connection. i want to try achieving FULL/near full speed download on my hp touchpad, by reverse tethering to the desktop's ethernet connection.
the desktop is connected to the wireless router through a powerline adapter, i.e. wired ethernet and is achieving full speed on its own.

One thing to note is that you'll not notice too big of a speed boost if you are connecting to the internet. The reason being, your ISP has a throughput speed of say 25 MBits a sec down and 5 up (In a hypothetical situation). Your wireless is usually up to 54 (on wireless G), and wired is either 10/100/1000 MBits. However, you are still throttled by your ISP, who runs at 25. So tethering via USB won't net you faster speeds to Dropbox, but it might for local network related things, like streaming from a local PC, transferring files, RDP, etc.
Just a thought to share, hopefully it helps.
Oh, and running through the power line like that is a messy way to do it. Home power is noisy and slows down your network speeds. Just sayin', I hope I don't offend.

bump
This is the thread that keeps coming up in google searches, and since it was never answered, figured its time for a bump.
I´m in a similar situation atm, Ive got no access to data or wifi as Im traveling abroad.
Cyber cafes abound, and id love to use this app as well, but.. i get the same error.
Im surprised as id assumed CM would have all such features builtin. No big that it doesnt, im just not sure how to add it.
Any help?
(and yes, ive tried to get the other method working, but having trouble getting adb to detect the tablet, that method works on my phone, but id prefer a method that fakes 3g, since that other method doesnt work with many apps)

The problem is the to connect anything to the TP USB connector and get it to work needs power injected into the interface (hence the need for Y cables when using an OTG cable). This ends up as so complicated, that most give up and decide to use WiFi tethering. Also, I am not sure anyone has found a way to get the necessary drivers into the kernel.
