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

Hello This guide is made up from the knowledge i have build up from advice given on XDA and information on other sites.
I have found this very useful in my home and hope you do to.
First off, this guide explains everything you need to do to use your diamond as the access point to the internet at home for all devices. (PC's, PS3, XBOX360, Wii)
It is highly recommended that you have a unlimited data allowance!!!!! Otherwise you could have a hefty bill at the end of the month.
Right what you will need :
A WM6.1 Device (I used a Diamond) with an unlimited data allowance tariff,
A WiFi router (i have used an old router that was installed with Tiscali BB)
WMWifiRouter version 0.80 (please find this your self i will not provide it)
and some basic knowledge of networking on PC's and your devices.
Thats it. Please don't be put off by the networking side of things its really easy to do.
Right first off we need to get your diamond taking to your router.
switch on your router and let it do its thing for 2-4 mins
Connect your diamond to the wifi router by switching on your wifi in settings, communications on touchflow, when prompted, connect to your router and enter your network key.
THIS IS THE SAME PROCESS AS CONNECTING TO A WIFI HOTSPOT.
Its that simple.
Next switch off your wifi in settings, communications.
Install WMWifiRouter version 0.80 (Simple and stable)
once installed open WMWifiRouter and press connect.
This should then setup your phone to be used as a access point and connect to your wireless network all at once.
Once it says connected you can turn off your phones main screen by pressing the off switch at the top and put your phone where there is best signal! HSDPA is needed to get up 7.2mbps (little H in signal area)
Right now you need to setup your laptop or device to talk to the phone via your router!
So here are the settings you need to setup in either TCP/IP (manual connection) or a manual connection on your device (PS3, Wii, XBOX360).
I will use a laptops connection as a example because all you need to do is to copy the settings to another device using a different IP address.
If you use wifi or a hardwired connection, right click the telly with the wifi connection in the bottom right of the screen and click open network connections (XP only dont know for vista), Or if the telly is not displayed in the bottom righthand cornner of the task bar then click start, control panel, network connections.
Click on the connection you wish to use i.e local area connection or wireless network connection (you can setup both connections by repeating these steps on each connection)
this should bring up a general tab of this connection, click properties.
This will bring up another box with the network properties, all you need to do is manually enter your IP settings and DNS settings so double click on "internet protocol [TCP/IP]"
Another box appears.
Click "use the following IP address"
In IP address type "192.168.0.xxx" xxx being the unique 3 digit code of your choice, write this down for your firewall settings on other devices if you run a networked drive etc. Each new device will need its own unique 3 digit code ie PC = 192.168.0.100, XBOX360 = 192.168.0.200, Wii = 192.168.0.123 etc.
In Subnet mask type "255.255.255.0"
In Default gate way type "192.168.0.1
Now click "Use the following DNS server address"
In preferred DNS server type "192.168.0.1"
Thats it, press ok and ok on any other boxes still left open.
Your network device will rest your IP and DNS settings to the ones you have just entered, thus allowing you computer to access the mobiles phones internet connection via your router
On all your devices Manually setup all your connections using these settings and they will all use your mobile phone to connect to the internet.
Using DHCP to configure your network is not advised as its unreliable at finding your phones connection.
Now if you want to start using your phone as a phone again, open up WMWifiRouter again if its not already and click options Quit.
To get internet access on other devices via your phone again all you need to do is to start WMWifiRouter and press connect. Start using the internet!!!
If you wish to use your laptop on another hotspot, you will need to reset the TCP/IP settings back to automatic, otherwise it will not work.
Using this process sometimes causes the phone to disable its own internet connection, so a soft reset after exiting WMWifiRouter is recommended.
Have fun, im sorry if its all a little messy but i have never been very good at writing these guides.
If any modd wants to add or edit this post then please feel free. any persons wanting to add to this guide please do so.
Yes i know you can connect your phone to your laptop by USB, Bluetooth, but this method allows multiple devices to use the same phone to access the internet at the same time and via a access point at the highest possible speed, so games consoles can use it!!! Brilliant if you get a good HSDPA signal and live in the country.
Oh one last thing! if you are a youngster and wish to try this, please do so on other equipment, don't use your family's main router and laptop or PC unless its no longer in use!!!
Thank You
I have an issue with a Sprint TP2 with WIFI. I'm able to connect the router but not able to access the internet. If I connect my phone to the laptop I can use the internet if I change the (Connections:connections: network management) from Sprint to My Work Network but I'm not able to connect via WIFI. I have (Connections: wifi:configure network adapters) to WORK or THE INTERNET for Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter but it doesn't help. Under Connections: tasks:MY WORK NETWORK:Set up my proxy server I check the box next to THIS NETWORK CONNECTS TO THE INTERNET but it won't stay checked. The profile for the router has been deleted and recreated with no success. I've tried other WIFI routers with no success. My touch pro has no issues. BTW: I'm using version WM6.5.
Hi
I have already asked this before but may have asked it in a mad way, maybe in wrong place who knows this site is freaking massive
I have a HTC Sensation on 3 mobile One Plan and use this phone to give me and my partner internet using the WIFI Hotspot
As I am coming from broadband from good ole Richard I have 4 WIFI routers in several room in my house all have connection to my main PC which is my media server
Only problem is when we are on the internet we dont have access to this server we have to disconnect and connect to one of the WIFI routers
So what I would like to do is connect the phone to a PC using USB and use the PC as a proxy server, this would then be connected to one of the WIFI routers, this would then have all my WIFI routers giving out the internet
Is this possible??
Any info would be awesome
Thanks
Bump!! Bump!! Bump!!
well to make this work you would need use the wifi hotspot to connect to your server, from there bridge your wifi connection of the server to the hardwire connection of your pc. itll take some reconfiguring of your ip scheme to make it all work but if you know what your doing its not too bad. Also turn on all upnp. (universal plug and play) it will allow you to see all devices on the network without having to have the ip addresses.

Thats the only way. But upnp MUST be enabled.
Good luck!
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
I have a GT-p3113 7.0 running 4.1.1 stock and rooted. I have been trying to connect to my laptops hotspot using wifi. I can create the connection and connect with an IP, however no shared internet. I used the CMD prompt to create the hostednetwork then share my lan connection.
> netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="name of connection" key="password"
Share the connection from setting in the control panel then start it up.
>netsh wlan start hostednetwork
I can connect with an assigned IP but no internet.
So... while I am "connected" I used the USB reverse tether app with the tunnel local app and connect to the internet. and yes I can no connect to Gplay and download from most app sites with no problem because I do have an active wifi connection... just not using it to get to the site..
Can't use https , not sure why yet. or if it is even possible.
But I would like to be able to use my wifi connection if at all possible... does anyone know a way to do this? I do not want to use Conectify as it tells me to unistall my vzaccess ( I can't ) I have a 4g wireless card for my laptop. also tried virtual router, same thing.. connects, gets ip, but no internet. Has anybody been able to get around this? or do you think it is just my work network. I want to use this when I travel an am in a hotel but don't want to carry around another piece of hardware for a hotspot.
Thanks
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
Th
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....
