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 :
forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-755254.html
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've searched and searched, and I hope that someone has figured this out.
Has anyone tethered their Captivate to a Mac? USB tether only please. I know of Wifi tethering, but I like to enjoy my battery when I am done with my laptop.
I have it working in WinXP with Kies, but I would like to get it working on my Mac.
Thanks
Unfortunately, my snow leopard device is DOA right now, so I can't test it, but I think it should be as simple as plugging it in through USB when you have "PC Internet" chosen as your USB settings. I know it works instantly on Linux (without any drivers) and on windows with the drivers installed.
According to most references, a mac doesn't require any sort of "drivers" or kexts to get our phone compatible with it, so I would suggest just plugging it in and disabling your other connections to check
no go, it finds it as a modem, but won't connect... I found something online that said to add settings here and there, but it still isn't working...
Yes, it works on my Mac computer. Either you can configure it with complicated settings without any other software, or you can use PDAnet. You can get it on the market but it is censored by AT&T so you will need market enabler or be in airport mode with the wifi on
Hi all,
I am having a USB driver conflict with my n1. Basically, I installed the usb driver that comes with the SDK, and everything is working fine, i can use the adb command and all, except my Wifi dongle.
yes, as soon as i connect my nexus one to my pc, my wifi dongle stops working and cuts my internet access off.
in the network and sharing center, the adaptor is still connected and working but the internet access is cut off
ty for the help i have searched but no luck
Any idea anyone please?
Ive been searching for a way to just connect the Note to a Mac via USB to have access to the camera and file system to grab some movies but can't find any solutions. I enable mass storage under settings but the Mac ignores it. Any ideas?
Hello,
i don't have any issue on my side, although i use different mac.
Have you tried to use "system_profiler SPUSBDataType" in the Terminal app ? It gives you information on linked usb devices of your mac. Does your phone appear ? What appear in the system profiler ?
Also, you can access your phone files from your mac over wifi, using Kies (installed by default on the Note) or airdroid (which i prefer personally).

Plug into your Mac. If unknown network notification appears on your Mac cancel network connection. Tap on USB connect in the notification bar on the Note and say yes when it asks if you wish to USB connect. Your external and internal SB cards will appear on the Mac as no name folders.
Alternatively you can download Kies here: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
To use Kies after downloading and installing, turn USB settings, plug into the Mac and tap Kies connection when prompted in the notification bar.
My HTC One is connected and is sharing internet via usb tethering to my pc however it just shows that the network has no internet access even though it works on PC. I have android 4.3 custom Rom, but the correct driver is installed and windows 7 reecognizes the phone in network adapters.
