What i want to do is connect my g1 to share the computers internet connect then use the g1 wifi to transmit the signal out.. anyone know how to do this?
wow, wrong thread but if i follow you correctly, you have:
INTERNET----------COMPUTER
you want your g1 to be a wifi router? wtf just put one in between internet and computer... lolz
I know what does this,
but as you didn't read the forum rules,
I also see you have only one post, so you came in here and instead of easily finding an answer to your problem via google, you clog up our development thread
Because of these things I will refuse to answer your question, I implore any other members who see this to not answer as well.

But can you explain to me what is reverse tether?
I only know of wifi tether and usb tether.

Reverse tether is the exact opposite of USB tether. Say you are at work/school and you have a desktop that has network access but you don't have access to infrastructure. You have a laptop but either don't have access to the network or don't have the network key. You want to plug in your G1 to the desktop and share its connection over Ad-Hoc that other devices (laptop, etc.) can access to have internet.

if this is what he is referring to as reverse tether, i'm also interested.
Here at work I have no kind of data signal, and connecting through my computer would be great!
Is there a way? Without having to go through our WIFI? Maybe a wired-reverse tether?
you could share your PCs WIRED internet connection wirelessly with an ad-hoc wireless connection. google is your friend.

Normally you can use the internet from t-mobile (G1) on your computer. He is looking to use the internet from a computer on a G1
Why call it reverse, isnt it ICS?
it 'd be great to have the opportunity to use the G1 as a wi-fi repeater , in case of low signal between wi-fi spot and your pc, as the follows:
WIFI ROUTER <------> G1 <------> PC
maybe it's possible to implement or only a dream?

Tethering is a term used to describe connecting your phone to your laptop so that you laptop can use your phone's internet connection.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering
Reverse tethering would be using another device to supply internet to a G1.
By this definition, connecting a G1 to a WiFi hotspot could technically be considered "reverse tethering" however we don't generally use the term in that sense.
I understand reverse tethering, but reverse TEATHERING? WTF?
go suck your mother's teat(hering)
Ad-Hoc connection
Whoops missread what you were saying...
Anyways... you shouldn't be using your phone as a modem to connect the rest of your house to the internet... It's painful and could possibly kill your phone from the heat it will generate from sending and receiving the packets. But if you really wanted to.. You can use your phone to tether to a laptop or a machine via USB and then bridge the connection to a NIC device. Then from there.. allow your computer to route the packets and assign IP to DHCP.
I think it would be nice to create an app to easily setup reverse tethering via usb. That said, don't post a thread about it here unless you are a developer creating one. Even so, it would be better to post in the apps forum. A mod will move this thread soon, I'm sure. I just wish there were some restriction requiring mod approval of new threads by junior members before they can be posted, at least in dev forums.
If your using windows 7 there is an program that could work for you.
I use it as i dont have a data connection on my phone.
http://www.connectify.me/
It can turn your Wifi from your PC/Laptop into an access point.
Which i believe is what your after.
Instructions on how to tether in either direction are already posted here

I have 2 G1's both are running cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1. One has a data plan, and the other does not, is there any way to connect the non-data G1 to the other through wifi tether? Every time I try, it just doesn't show up as an availiable network to connect.
Ask Google about enabling ad-hoc mode. Or you could tether through Bluetooth PAN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666988
I didn't try this, but both approaches should work.
Do you have some knowledge on unix systems?
I do remember hearing about Android not being able to connect to any ad-hoc wifi. I am not aware of anyone being able to do it.

Then now you are ;-) Many people use ad-hoc mode, there are plenty of howtos in the internet.
I've done it before... I use the WiFi tethering app available through Google Code. The project is Android-WiFi-Tether (sorry, I'm too new to post links). I don't know what app you are using to tether, but check the settings to see if it's got the SSID hidden.
but have you been able to use wifi tether to share the phone's connection with another Android phone? I've never had to, but I do remember hearing about problems with it. Then again it was a while ago and things could have very well changed.

Yes, I have been using that exact version of wifi tether. Iphone, samsung, and blackberry phone can connect, but no matter what I try I just can't get the g1 to even see the connection. I have changed the ssid, enabled WEP encryption, and even changed the channels to no avail............I guess it just wasn't ment to be LOL. I can't even connect using the bluetooth PAN option either
Ehh... again, from the beginning...
It is possible to use both ad-hoc and BT PAN on G1, but they are not supported officially, so you must do some hacking. Wireless Tether for Root does it for you, but it can start server only, not connect to existing networks and I don't know whether there is an app which simplify that second task.
You could try to find some app or howtos about doing it manually - through hacking. As I mentioned before, there are plenty of them in the internet.
Finally...
I would like to thank everyone for the help, I finally got it done, I just had to edit some settings using the terminal. If there is anyone else out there wanting to do the same as me, just search for ...How to connect to Ad Hoc networks using Tmobile G1 Android at hydtechblog"dot com"
Newest CM (5.0.7) sees and connects my Ad-Hoc network normally! :-D

So the client phone can be hacked to be able to recognize and connect to ad-hoc, but this generally requires root access....... correct?
I have been unsuccessful at getting my wife's non-rooted Eris to my rooted Droid.

Yeah, exactly
Also there are patches floating around to add ad-hoc support (to connect to them like to normal AP networks), so maybe some roms have it, but most (all?) of devices just can't use ad-hoc on original rom.
I would have just used wired tether...
Never had a problem with ANY android device I've connected to my g1.
I just like to keep things simplistic in specific situations...

Hi, is there a way to connecty vibrant with bionix to a ad hoc wifi? Theres aguide, but it was for othwr phone, not shure if i should use it or not..
Thanks!

Well not alot on this but a couple of things that you need to remember, if you are trying to do a peer to peer, then both sides need to be enabled, Also, if you are doing a open wifi remember to open the browser and click accept terms if use agreement.
The Adhoc can be done this way :
Here is a site explaining it
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=301562
can't get it to work. The ad hoc connection I am trying to connect is a win7 ad hoc. I did it so I can connect my phone and use it as a remote for xbmc and windows mouse/keyboard.
Any other option?
I did the same thing, you can use connectify (type connectify.me) in your pc and connect to it in the phone as with any other wifi connection
or you could use PCremote and bluetooth
you mus try it.
First off, I'm sorry if im placing this in the wrong forum.
i have a Pandigital eReader and it wont connect to my phone's hotspot. I'm using Barnacle Tethering and everything is finding my phone but my eReader
I think it's a eReader issue...
the other devices that can tether, are you able to access the internet?
reason i am asking i tried this with my phone only to discover verizon requires a tethering data package...
is it running the connection in adhoc mode? if so some devices don't fully support this, the stock verizion hotspot is a infrustructer connection, my only guess as to why some of your devices connect and not others
u should try premium service as a experiment.
Some devices have trouble with wep security. Try running an open wifi connection.
So I have sucessfully and easily reversed tethered my phone to a pc via usb as instructed by caplocks66 in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
I would like to take this to the next level and connect clients to my phone while it is using this reverse tethered connection. I enabled wifi tethering on my phone first and then connected to my computer via this reverse tether app. The reverse tether to my phone was sucessful and gave me access to the internet. My wifi tethering was broadcast and clients could connect to my phone but did not recieve any WAN data(page could not load message). Any ideas out there how to make this work? I would have posted this question in the thread listed above, but cannot yet post in the Developer section..

Hey,
I am trying to accomplish the same thing as my wireless router is down and i need to stream internet wireless at my place.
First try, i thought is enough to reverse tether on USB, this way getting internet from the PC, and then tether wireless to connect my laptop. Of course, this doesn't work, because the reverse tethering is not using 3g or EDGE connection, and WiFi tethering is working only if the phone has internet through a 3g/EDGE connection.
Unfortunately, there is no way to bridge the connections like you would do on a linux/windows machine. But i think a tunneling script (just like the one used on reverse USB tethering) may do the job. Either this, or a hack to make Android think that the internet received through reversed USB tethering is coming from the 3g connection.
Any ideas on this matter?
