How can I share Internet from my computer through my chromecast to my smartphone?
It is possible to use the chromecast has a USB/WiFi antenna?
I don't believe the Chromecast would be able to act as a client & access point at the same time.
You could add a usb wifi adapter to your computer and enable interner sharing on the computer. You can the connect the phone to the computer in wifi ad-hocode. This may work. Search for ad-hoc internet sharing.

The Chromecast seems to support USB host mode as long as you provide external power. It's possible to have a kernel module that handles many kinds of WiFi adapters (or maybe just the generic ones) and have a program in some form on the CC to manage it alongside the built-in WiFi. That's if you were to have root access (at the very least).
I would say it's possible, but I'm not sure if it's really worth too much of the effort.

That's don't worth it.
Here is the link how to do a ad-hoc on Windows 7,8 10,
http://www.redmondpie.com/create-ad-hoc-wifi-hotspot-in-windows-10-heres-how/
Create a file with notepad using these commands and save as .BAT file
run as administrator after every boot. Then you don't have to do this every restarting. Cause the ad-hoc stops working after each reboot

Hi there,
I just posted a pretty exhaustive guide to setting up ftp for fast wireless transfer of files between your phone and computer or alternatively between 2 phones on the same wireless network. Hope it's useful:
http://chimerical79.blogspot.com/2011/04/fast-wireless-transfer-of-files-between.html
Note: if you are good with this kind of thing you can just skim through the guide. It caters for beginners too.
This guide may be of particular interest if you are upset that Samsung advertised the Galaxy S as having Bluetooth 3.0 but failed to deliver due to the fact that android currently doesn't support it.
i was wondering if is possible to connect to my android from my desktop using direct ftp? (my pc being connected by cable to a wireless router)

i have it, but i'm only being able to connect through the proxy server, not directly
nevermind. it works if i turn off wifi and then turn it on.
I have searched this topic but they all centered on Macs or got off topic or someone gave an answer that didnt even solve the solution. So i thought i would ask myself. Is there any way to share my LAPTOPs wifi TO my DROID3???
http://bit.ly/uGGo0Q
to the poster above; i dont like smarta**es. my post said i already searched so if you found something then post a link.
to everyone else i want something via usb or bluetooth. preferably usb. i have googled it and all the results are either hardware specific, need unbunto [i have windows 7] or dont have a solution. If you ever owned a zune [who has? lol besides a few of us] or a windows phone, they can do it from stock.

I have a bluetooth usb adapter on my laptop I am not sure how it does it but it allows me to get online with my droid 3 via the bluetooth link, I click on connect via access point and it works. Sometimes it works and sometimes the signal gets killed, but try connecting through a bluetooth usb adapter.
I know you said preferably over Bluetooth or USB but have you considered trying something like a virtual access point for your PC? It would require WIFI but you could run a software app on your PC that broadcasts as an access point that you could connect to from your phone.
You have a phone that is wifi capable, but you want to thether to your pc to use the wifi connection.
Oh and I hate smartasses too.

do you know the name of the adaptor? this sounds perfect
ASUS bluetooth adapter I got it from meritiline a couple years ago, just been using it recently. And all I did was turn on the bluetooth on my phone and it worked, didn't download any software or anything.

Your telling me I was just fooling around with my phone and laptop on day, and clicked on a link and boom I was online. I looked at my signal and was thinking "what the hell just happened?" lol
Ifnyou have windows 7 just install connectify
Google it (smartassingly probably just add a .com to that..)
It adds an AP virtual. That sjould not spend alot more of power as you have already wifi running.

If you laptop has Bluetooth (It should, I thought all Intel wifi chipsets in laptops were also Bluetooth) then what you want is a PAN "Personal Area Network". I thought the basic bluetooth stack in Windows supported this out of the box. (The Toshiba BT stack I used with Windows XP did, I don't know for sure about the MS BT stack in Windows 7 though).
Then you just turn on Internet Connection Sharing for you Wifi adapter to the Bluetooth PAN adapter.
Something like that anyway. I'm going from memory on the Windows side, and assuming the Droid 3 (etc.) supports PAN on its Bluetooth setup.
Doing it with USB though is trickier. On Windows 7, my ME863 appears as a network device with IP address, but I don't know if it'd work if I simply used ICS to share a link to the device because I don't know that the phone would be looking for a DHCP server. (It _is_ a DHCP server at this point)
Are you sure your not using the phones 3g or wifi. Did you try turnin on airplane mode and seeing if you still have internet

I just had a play, and I don't think my bluetooth solution is as easy as I'd hoped.
My Milestone 3 was able to join a PAN with my laptop and form their little adhoc network.
The best phone-side instructions I could find are at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666988 however a look around suggests that Windows 7 ICS won't let you share a network connection _to_ a BT network. I certainly couldn't see a way, although possibly it was because my phone is exporting a default gateway, rather than because of any inherent limitation of Windows.
It's a starting point, but not a particularly promising one. Whether ICS can be made to share Internet to the bluetooth PAN or not is really the only sticking point for "possible" versus "impossible" but a root-enabled App or possibly custom ROM would be needed on the phone to move from "possible" to "easy".

Can you/did you try setting up a network bridge w/the bluetooth adapter and whatever WAN you're using?

Just had a quick go, and it wouldn't bridge 'em.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com.../thread/84731dc8-0b23-433b-a58b-a0a2d41d93be/ suggests that a third-party Bluetooth stack would work though, just not the MS stack.
Hi,
I searched to find a way to connect my Note to my laptop's internet, but couldn't find a way.
I have no wifi router and therefor I wonder if there is a way to surf internet in my Note by using laptop's internet connection.
Thanks for any suggestions
Connectify. Or reverse tethering (search for it in Android apps section).
Thank you
After trying so hard to get the first option to work on my PC i had to give up.
Tried second one and downloaded the trial from google play and I am now amaized how fast and good this is working. Now I have full internet access on my Note. As fast as my PC's. But you have to use the cable thou.
There's a new app called Opengarden. I haven't tried it, but it looks promising. It uses bluetooth, I think.
Not same
Opengarden is not supporting reverse tethering it is tethering. It means you can use Opengarden to use your mobile's internet on your pc, not your pc's internet on your mobile like reverse tethering. Two diffrent apps.
Just so i've the picture clear, are you using a 3G Dongle to connect to the net on your laptop.

I am using a cable. It is student biulding and I connect the cable to my PC and the internet is there.
The problem is that the galaxy Note does NOT support AD Hock as I tried much and changed some system setings from /system/bin. If there was a solution for NOTE to support Ad Hock it would be amaizing.
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.
Like the title says any way to do this, hi I'm new to this forum, was wondering if they're is a way to do this stock or rooted way.any help is much appreciated.
sure. I do it using WiFi Tether on my Galaxy Note 2. Just needs to get an IP from the device. You're going to need to connect a PC to the hotspot so you can set it. You may need another device--PC or mobile device--to sling from.
Do I connect the Chromecast to my pc? Or to my laptop, here's my setup,my hotspot is currently my main internet.so my pc is connected to my hotspot.but can't connect Chromecast while that feature is on.if you could break down a little gladly appreciate it.

Somewhere in the config of the hotspot... Is there an option for "isolation"? If there is switch it off, then you should be on the right road.

Don't see that.so no I don't think so.I have my pc ,my laptop,connected but the only thing showing up for Chromecast is my roku 3.?? There has to be a way for me to set it up.Google makes this so hard.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I don't think Google have made it hard. The thing that's making it hard for you is your mobile hotspot (and I think the fact that it is defaulting to not allowing communication between two devices connected to it: you can try this with two other devices - using ping... If you can ping each device from the other its something other than client isolation)
I'm gunna try thanks

It would help if you could tell us the make/model of your hotspot.
More-generic ones like my CradlePoint PHS300 and Zyxel MWR102 and MWR211 default to letting wireless clients see each other, but do have the option to keep wireless clients isolated (so they can access Internet, but not see each other).

the setup is simple. The idea is that the Chromecast has to get a private IP from your hotspot device.
Since you've stated you've connect your PC and laptop to your hotspot device, and ASSUMING you had them connected to it at the same time, you should be able to set this up. Connect your Chromecast to your TV. Make sure to install Chromecast installation software on either the PC or laptop; you have to have this part to set up the Chromecast. This is what the website directs you to when you connect the Chromecast and it does not have network to connect to.
Next, open the Chromecast software. It will search for the Chromecast. The PC or laptop will do a temporary direct connection to the Chromecast. You'll see some kind of WiFi SSID with Chromecast. Let the software do thing. You'll be prompted to enter the SSID and passphrase for your hotspot; the one you use to connect your PC and laptop. It'll do some setup instructions. If everything goes well, the Chromecast software should prompt you it's ok to use the Chromecast. And the TV with the Chromecast should show something about what SSID it's connected to
If not successful, the Chromecast on the TV should say something about the issue. I've gotten couldn't connect to the internet, but that was an issue with the router of my WiFi software. At home, I had the same issue, but that was firewall issue.
