Hello,
I connect tornado device to a Wi-fi hot spot, and I want to know if it is possible to share its internet connection with other devices through bluetooth.
Thanks in advance!

At the moment, you can share only your data (GPRS/EDGE) connection though PAN/USB (Internet Sharing app) or ad-hoc WiFi (WiFiRouter app). Unfortunately WiFi connections cannot be shared, neither thought USB nor PAN. If I am wrong, please do correct me!
There is a way, but only for PDA, i think it shares wifi via BT
Are you sure that it is possible to share the internet connection.
I tried with ipaq 2215 pda, but I couldn't manage to connect.
Thanks in advance.

Internet Sharing using my SDA?
I've been banging my head on this one. I've got "Internet Sharing" App installed on my SDA with WM 6.0. I can connect to my Laptop via USB cable and "share" the internet in that way. I"ve tried "Internet Sharing" via Bluetooth or DUN attempts via BLuetooth to no avail. Any hints how to get Bluetooth functioning with "Internet Sharing" or DUN? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Is it at all possible to share my smartphone/pocket pc wifi connection over BT?
The only threads I've seen relate to sharing cellular over Wifi (like turning your phone into an access point - not quite what I'm looking for
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

im too looking for this, I have a laptop with bluetooth but without wifi.
Anyone found anything?
Sharing Internet on Windows Mobile device, with BT clients
I am looking for this as well. I have a laptop with no WiFi, but with BT, and a WM6 HP 211 iPaq. I would like to connect the iPaq to the Internet using WiFi (easily done), then share the Internet connection through Bluetooth, with my WinXP SP2 PC.
I have paired the devices. For example, I can do ActiveSync synchronization via BT between my PC and the iPaq.
"Netwok Access" connection via BT between iPaq and PC seems OK as well.
Still, when I go to "Internet Sharing" on the iPaq, the "PC Connection" field shows only "USB", it does not show "BT PAN".
Can anyone help? many thanks in advance

WMWifiRouter can do Wi-Fi to USB, but not BT at this time. It is coming up, though.
It is meant for PocketPC though, though it can work on Smartphone the experience is not as good.
could be useful as a kind of repeater
Ive been looking for an app to turn HTC Fuze into a Wi-Fi repeater, but I have bluetooth on my laptop so this would in effect be a signal repeater for me. The bottleneck from wifi to bluetooth would be pretty heavy though Im sure.
ICS Control
I discovered an app that seems to be able to do what you are asking for and most every other network sharing combo you can imagine. Its called ICS Control. It would be great to have a repeater app.
Bluetooth connectivity drops when WLAN is on
Hi guys
I have an iPaq 210 that I'd like to use as a WiFi card for an WinXP SP2 PC.
Here's my problem, which often happens (not always):
1. I turn on Bluetooth on the iPaq
2. I connect the PC to the iPaq using the "Explore my Bluetooth Places" wizard, then "Connect". It says "connected". Then on the XP "Network Connections" window, it says "acquiring network address", and shortly after: "connected". PC's IP address: 192.168.1.125, default gateway (the iPaq): 192.168.1.6. In fact, I've setup this static IP address on the iPaq using the ICScontrol utility. Both computers see each other and ping works both ways. In other words, BT PAN is up and working.
3. Here's the problem: I then turn on the WLAN (Wi-Fi). When the WiFi connects, ping stops working. Then I can't get to the Internet from the PC using the iPaq. "Network connections" still says: "connected" on the BT PAN network.
When I disconnect the WLAN, BT ping starts working again.
What to do?
TIA
Gail
dont really know how to fix this
Re: Bluetooth connectivity drops when WLAN is on
Can this point the way? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972305 ?
The problem is, that fix is for the system builder. Can someone suggest a registry setup or anything else?
damn, looking exactly for this
wanna use my touch hd with a bluetooth only netbook
hope someone can do it
btw, wmwifirouter seems the closest to do it
can do 3g to bt, but wifi only to usb
[]s
D2G wlan0 - bnep0
On the topic of reverse tether heRe
Ubuntu netbook and Droid 2 Global
Yes the 3g connection works, turn on wifi and
it seems to fall apart. I think there might be
some ip conflicts or I could use a bridge adapter
or something on my droid phone that is configurable,
maybe like br0 for an interface name.
sounds good to me.
what exactly happens when wifi is turned on
ifdown ppp0 ?
ifup tiwlan0 ?
thats exactly what appears to happen first ppp0 there and tiwlan0 not then, touch icon and run ifconfig -a again and it is now the opposite. All ifb interfaces unchanged..
both bnep0 and tiwlan0 on same subnet and have different ip, but tiwlan0 gets dhcp and bnep0 I believe is static.. A routing table could help.
Do I need to add new modules? can this be configured?
Hi there,
I've been looking for a solution of the following problem and I was wondering if anyone could help me:
You all know that ppc (windows mobile) connected via ActiveSync to a computer has direct access to the internet connected to that computer (some kind of pass-through connection). I would like my ppc to act as a Wifi hotspot sharing that ActiveSync Internet connection.
Most Wifi sharing software available assumes sharing GPRS/3G etc. connection established via cellular network. I would like to share internet connection established via USB/ActiveSync pass-through.
I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Best regards.
Hi,
Did you manage to find a solution? I have the same requirement.
Thanks,
Paolo
Here's the problem of a newb user of an Android tablet.
I favent' found any similar thread here @ the Forum.
I've just bought a chinese tablet (EM73...maybe Haipad or Irobot) with Ginger 2.3.3 installed by the vendor.
Everything goes right but not the sharing connection with the modem of my HTC TP2 (WM 6.5).
I can do it (through BT or WIFI connection) just if I use my netbook (Win XP home) running WMWifiRouter or CM Internet sharing. The router is immediatly recognized by the pc and I can use internet or SN (like FB) or Skype....and so on with an EDGE connection.
I've tried to do the same by connecting the modem-router to my new tablet, running WMWIFIRouter on TP2 but without seeing the net in the list of wifi connections.
No problem with the router and the ADSL connection that I use at home but no connections appears in the list of the tablet if I try to share the EDGE connection of my smartphone.
I've tried to connect by using an USB cable (using some apps found on the market) but nothing happens.
Someone says it depends of the type of connection (ad hoc = WM; infrastructure = Android)... but I can't find any solution to create that type of connection (is it possible ???=).
Can someone help me please ?
Though I don't have a solution, to help I can promise you it has to do with using ad-hoc. My Sirius and DSLite would not hook up to my WinMo phone because of it being Ad-hoc.
Hi
Can anyone please tell how to connect to ad-hoc network? I have used many ROMs(Stock ICS, JB leak1 and leak3, mokee, pacman, miui) but not able to connect to ad-hoc network in any ROM. In stock GB I was able to connect to ad-hoc wifi. I also connected to ad-hoc connection in JB leak a couple of time, but not able to connect every time. The behavior for ad-hoc connection is somewhat strange, some times phone just keep on "obtaining ip address" step and some time it connects to the network but internet connectivity lost after few minutes, and some times it does not find the ad-hoc connection at all. It does show other wifi connections from my neighbourhood but It does not show my ad-hoc wifi connection.
If anyone has faced such issue, then please help.
Thanks in advance for your help
Or you can use Connectify

I have "data card" to access internet and the lite version of connectify does not support the sharing of internet connection using "data card". is there any way other way I can share my laptop's internet connection with my phone?
BTW, is there any issue with our device/Roms to connect to ad-hoc wifi connection?
