I live in the sticks and the evdo on my phone is the only high speed internet connection available.
I have no trouble using the ICS to tether to a computer. What I want to do is tether and then share that connection with other computers on the network. When I go to network connections and right click on the windows mobile internet sharing device icon and go through and choose to share the connection with other computers on the network it tells me that the ip address required for internet connection sharing is already in use.
I am guessing that it needs 192.168.0.1 for the network internet connection sharing to work, and that the phone (touch pro) is assigning it to itself when I start ICS.
Anybody have any idea how to make this work?
Thanks
I'm using CM7 stable (7.0.3) with a Nexus One.
When I enable the hotspot feature without having the phone connected to my openvpn server, my laptop (connected to the hotspot) connects to the web fine. The phone's internet connection works fine as well.
But when I enable the feature while connected to the openvpn server, even though the internet works on the phone, my laptop connects to the hotspot but cannot send/receive any data. I can ping my phone from my laptop, but pings go unanswered for example to google.com or 8.8.8.8...
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here, how I can troubleshoot or how I can fix the problem?
PS. I'd like to have the phone connected to my openvpn server rather than my laptop while using the hotspot as the laptop's openvpn connection is unstable when using the phone's hotspot (I do't know why).
Thanks!
I think the problem is the Gateway used by the laptop to connect to the internet. When you activate the hotspot the laptop will use to connect to the internet as gateway the ip provided by 3G. When you activate the VPN the gateway is changed but the laptop can't tell that and it uses the wrong IP address.
Hello Experts,
I am not a super expert but working on it on own interest basis.
My situation is,
I have one broadband connection thru ADSL+wireless router.
Normally my PC & other android devices at home are connected to wireless router of broadband.
Sometimes, this broadband connection fails for a couple of days.
I have one Android 6.0 mobile device which have unlimited data plan, but other android devices like mobile, Tabs does not have data connection.
During that time,
I create a hotspot & share to other wireless devices, but my PC does not connect until I connect thru USB tether.
Is it possible ??
To make a bridge in android 6.0 MM, between data connection & wi-fi ?? (I will connect it to wireless router with out hotspot), & set the DNS & gateway manually in the PC & wireless router.
What I have already done
Connected my mobile having data conn to win 10 PC with USB tether & PC is also connected to adsl router thru LAN.
Now,
I have checked the address of USB tether network IP (192.168.XX.XX), gateway (192.168.XX.XX) & DNS (192.168.XX.XX).
Then I created a bridge connection at PC between ADSL LAN & Tether Connection. Set above mentioned IP, gateway & DNS at created bridge connection.
Then I logged in into ADSL router,
Changed its IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.XX.XX ( matching with USB tether conn except last digit).
Then I connected all my android devices to ADSL router wireless network & manually set the DNS address to every network same as USB tether DNS.
profit :
Not much, But I am getting a strong wifi network signal from ADSL compared to mobile hotspot & all my devices connected to internet being at different places of home with different people.
My above query was to get rid of USB tether in this situation.
Thank you for reading all above & suggestions if any.

Yez and yes, search Hack5 in youtube and find the video relating to wifi pineapples( the bridge/router) and you will find everything you need , along with EasyTether pro(works fully tested to bypass tethering restrictions) . I dont know how the pineapple/router works but I know EasyTether uses adb to take and make a usb tethered connrection, then with a moderate-advanced setup(ie. wifi pineapple) you will be broadcasting wifi to any device you need. The only downside is you have to usb tethr to the pineapple at all timez to make a usable wifi,So in my opinikn best to buy anothr $45 a mnth plan especially 4 tethering, tho Im just now switching to a ISP for my internet it did the job, i even freelanced for awhile all remotely using the hotspot/created wifi/bridged connection.Hope that hellps brutha

Tks...Bro...
I did it long before without spending a single penny.
I simply used network hack and bluffed the pc and other devices...It is working like charm....
Hi:
In all my phones with pure android (Nexus 5, Nokia 8) whenever the phone connects to a guest wi-fi that needs authentication via a captive portal (Fonera wi-fi, for example), they keep the operator data connection active until i authenticate on the wi-fi network and get a internet connection.
On the OnePlus 8 i just got recently this does not happen. As soon it connects to the wi-fi network, it disables the operator network data and i loose internet connection until i authenticate on the wi-fi network. Is there any hidden option to correct this behavior?
Regards.
My android phone is usually on wifi at home. My laptop has some wifi chip/antennae issues so I have to either connect to the network via a lan port or, alternatively, use android phone usb tethering. If I am connected via the latter, on the laptop I observe that I cannot connect to the router network - I cannot even access the router login page.
I don't know a simple term for this feature. I guess it works like a network switch. But is there any app that, when enabled would help me connect my laptop (when usb-tethered) to the wifi network?
