Ok here is the deal, I have an HTC universal with a laptop that does not have a wireless interface.
can I configure my laptop to connect to the internet through my HTC ?
if yes, how ?
note, its not a GPRS wireless modem, its a WIFI connection!
and sorry if there's already a thread about it, bt am just sick of reading.. kinda fraustrated
Internet Sharing on WM6 works for me. I use the Bluetooth option & I access the internet via 3G.
Internet Sharing also has a USB option. Try that & see if it works over WIFI.
Oooooh that would be nice, using the universal as a wifi adapter... never thought of that and how useful it would be to me.
Heres to hoping eh?

Is there a way to use the ppc as an wifi adapter for a PC?
Basically I want to share internet through USB connection, which is easy when using cellular network, but not if I want the PPC to have internet access via WIFI.
I have a regular wireless router, but my PC doesn't have a wireless wifi adapter, so I want to use the PPC as the adapter. Is it possible?
Thanks a lot..

ICS Control (and probably the latets version(s) of WMWifiRouter) are supposed to support Wi-Fi routing to USB - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407563

Anyway, thanks a lot, ICS control did the job..
i try to get the same feature like on my samsung m1 360
i started bluetooth and on my notebook it connected with the phone sharing the internet connection from the phone.
now i use a htc magic 32 B with 2.1 rom and i cant connect that way
i can only use sound sharing or whatever .. i guess the drivers are missing ?
any suggestions ?
Look at these...
Hey there. I'm not a know-it-all regarding what you're looking for, but I did find a few items of interest:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I personal use the WiFi Tether on the Developer Website (Root Required).
Never tried PDA net, but it might be an option.
Hope this helps.
I used PDAnet and it's working fine.
My office has no 3G or wifi signal. I have my desktop PC connects to internet via LAN, I want to share it over bluetooth or USB cabel with my captivate.
PC: WinXP, bluetooth enabled
Captivate: Cognition v.3.02
Has anybody done this or is it at least possible? Thanks in advance.
Buy a usb wifi dongle or make the bt connection properties the internet connection.
How to make the bluetooth connection properties the internet connection? On PC side or phone side?

Hello,
I have been using Tom Codon XDA wifi sharing app for almost 2 years and all of the sudden it stopped working. I have hard reset the phone and reinstalled the application but no go. The connection is no longer being made to sprint. Wondering i
Any ideas on this would be great. Or even if I can able tether would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
Try Omarket's Mobile Wifi Router
No I dont know how to help with that. I use to use tom codon (and still can) but my Wii can not connect so I got a Cradle Point MBR1000. Im very happy with it. Now all my computers in the house truly are in a real wifi network with each other and can share files. and use the internet through the MBR1000. The mbr1000 gets the internet from my phone via usb. Its great. They make portable routers also. One of there portable routers can grab internet from any source, wifi, tethering usb phone as a modem (internet sharing) , cat 5, express modem card. And combine them for faster internet.
Any developers out there know if it it possible to port the Internet Pass-Through feature [aka Reverse Tethering] of Sense ROMs to AOSP ROMs?
There is a thread here which talks about in length but it is not a simple or trouble-free process.
If HTC can do it, surely it can't be that hard! I would love to be able to move to an AOSP ROM on my One S but cannot go without the Pass-through feature.
I'm curious about how you got pass through to work? Hasn't worked for me yet because the drivers never install when I plug my phone in. And, if it did actually work, does your phone use it like WiFi so WiFi calling works? That'd be what I need it for most.

We don't have Wifi calling on the EU phone, but then we are rarely out of range of a cell.
To get Pass-through to work, it is just a matter of connecting the phone via usb to a computer and selecting Internet pass-through from the pop-up dialogue box
BUT:
There are issues with certain firewalls. When I got the phone I was using Bullguard Internet Security on my laptop and I could not get internet pass-through to work via the firewall (it worked fine if I disabled Bullguard). I spent about 3 hours online with a Bullguard technician who was unable to solve the problem.
I have since removed Bullguard and installed Microsoft Internet Security Essentials. There are no firewall problems with MISE.
You must have the latest version of HTC sync installed for Pass-through to work.
Internet Pass-through allows the phone to connect to the internet via your PC's internet connection. I use it a lot because I spend a lot of time in hotels all around Europe. When I am out of the UK I do not use roaming data (too expensive) but I always have internet in my hotel room. This is either a wired connection, or (more often) it is a WiFi connection for a single device only. I use the hotel connection for my laptop and the pass-through connection for my phone.
I am not sure if this setup would give you WiFi calling as I am not really sure how that works (does the phone differentiate between a WiFi connection and a wired connection)? It would allow you to use Skype or another VOIP service to make calls.

I agree that it would be cool if devs could port this to other roms.
Just on the off chance someone might get some use from it, here's what I do. If you're travelling with a laptop and your hotel has Ethernet, it's really easy to set your laptop to broadcast an adhoc network to share with your phone.
I know it doesn't help with hotels that only have WiFi for one device, but with places that have Ethernet and WiFi, I find that tethering to my own laptop gets me a much better connection, and it means I don't have to lug around my router.
Sorry for the OT, back to the discussion
