Hey Everyone,
I was searching all over Google and XDA to find an applicable solution to have reverse USB tethering enabled on my Captivate - I recall it was a default option in the stock JH6 it came with but afterwards, it was removed.
This is only for Windows based machines. I've tested this to work on my 32-bit Windows 7 laptop.
Now, before I go on, i'm going to mention some requirements to get this running:
*Rooted Captivate
*A console emulator - or program to apply a script
*USB Tethering in the Settings menu, most probably under "Wireless & Network"
*A Windows machine
*USB Drivers for your Captivate MUST be installed
There are two parts to getting this work, let's start by connecting the phone in "Debugging Mode" to the PC:
1.
Go to "Settings" --> "Wireless and networks" --> "Tethering" then select the check mark next to "USB Tethering"
2.
Open your console emulator - and type in the below:
su
netcfg usb0 dhcp
This will force the USB to obtain its IP Address/Info from the DHCP server.
On the Windows machine, you will need to apply the below:
1.
Network and Sharing Center --> Network Connections (Change Adapter Settings)
2.
Make note of your Samsung USB interface, mine is named "Local Area Connection 10" (SAMSUNG Android USB Remote NDIS Network Device)
3.
Select the Network interface that you would like to share - mine is "Wireless Network Connection", and go to its "Properties"
4.
Go to the "Sharing" tab
5.
Check the first box "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection"
6.
In the drop-down box, choose the interface that recflect's your Samsung's USB
7.
Apply & OK, you should be good to go.
If this works on your side, don't forget to hit the "Thanks" button.
I hope you all enjoy!!
Edit:
Added a script so that users are able to apply the script via GScript rather than use a console emulator.
Thats a good guide... It will work from your local pc... not from your office pc because connection sharing will be most likely be disabled!! Well, when at home, I already have my wifi connection to use. This would have been so good if we could do it at our office
Thanks for sharing!

If your office PC has wi-fi adapter in it and runs Windows 7, you can use this guide http://tameyourpc.blogspot.com/2009/07/windows-7-as-wireless-access-point.html to turn your PC into a wifi AP. That's what I did in my office using my office laptop.
Office PC does have wi-fi, but getting Windows 7??? It is like hoping to get Honeycomb on our captivate
Well, I dont really care much now, I use about 1.6 to 1.7 gigs a month of 3g even after hooking onto every free wifi spot I get! so I am good..
I love how I was trying to fond out how to do this last month; I cant connect to the school's wifi anymore so I had to upgrade my data plan.
However im definitely going to do this when I get back.

Glad I could help.. Sucks if you don't have admin privileges at your office PC
I kinda like to use this when i'm low on battery, or when my phone can barely get a Wifi signal, but the Laptop has a better one.. etc..

I'm using it just fine here, not sure if it could be that the PC you're connecting to uses a proxy/firewall/security suite or something that might be blocking off some sort of traffic..
Correct me if i'm wrong, but you can browse the net, right?
Interesting, thanks

yes, in fact, just upon removing the usb cable

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but is this method still usable? or does anyone has a better way to do reverse tethering by now?

I don't get it? You could use you PC for internet stuff and your phone as a phone? I love my smartphone but if I'm near a computer, that's usually going to be used first for anything data.

In simple words, you could get your Captivate to use internet off your PC, rather than waste your battery on wireless, or your GBs on your data plan - or simply if there is no wireless network!

Ok, so from the screenshots it seems you've got the wrong interface:
3.
Select the Network interface that you would like to share - mine is "Wireless Network Connection", and go to its "Properties"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So that should be the interface you want to share, say your Ethernet or Wireless.
And I believe that you configure the PC side first, then the phone side...
Tell me if it works this way for you.
I lost you, you're on a window xp machine? mine doesn't read as wireless network but as local area connection, I did start from the phone side, but the settings on the adapter seems to stick after I unplug and everything. Can I have a few screenshots? Sorry for the trouble.

Hi All,
I'm running Windows Mobile 6.5.3 and am having a pain of a time locating the concept of this.
What I am trying to do is the following:
1. Plug my phone into my computer and activesync.
2. Allow for My Mobiler to access and control my phone.
3. Prevent my Phone from accessing network resources via my computer.
4. When I surf, have my phone use its data connection, not Desktop-Passthrough.
I want the benefits of charging and remote control of the phone, with the benefits of text messaging/surfing/email as on-device data.
I've tried setting the allowLSP to be 0, 01 and 10. No success.
My litmus test is tcpview to see whether or not the end-point is being shown on my computer.
I've done alot of searching, xda, ppcgeeks, google and microsoft. But, no success yet.
Thanks.

I was serching Google for the same reason as the OP, saw there was no answer and a while later figured it out by myself so I thought I would share: in AS connetion settings

Is there a reason you want do to this? Why cant you use your 3g?
of course there is a reason for all this, simple, where I live there is not 3G, EDGE, just GPRS but it's very limited, just exist one Cell Phone Carrier, so no choice....
I'm like you. My house must have alot of steel and whatnot that seem to just kill reception and I only get gprs. I went looking for a usb > android method for months and havn't come up with anything . What helped for me is setting my phone to lock onto WCDMA in settings and using the 3G only fix (type *#301279# in phone/dial pad then select [2] then [1]. To restore select [2] then [3]) Now I atleast get 2 bars with 3G (not full utms/Hpsa) which is fine as its better then GPRS and battery wise its a lot better then HSPA/UMTS but of cause it uses more power then GPRS but since I'm at home I always have it either plugged in or I can charge quick
You don't HAVE to set it to WCDMA only. You can leave it at GSM/WCDMA if you want but I find it very annoying when the phone keeps switching bands as it lags when i'm playing games that need network so thats why I leave it locked onto WCDMA only.
O crap, I didn't relize you don't have the a Galaxy S like I do. Maybe you can find a app or code or something to get your phone to lock onto 3G/EDGE only instead of HSPA
No No, I have HTC Desire / Bravo, will be very nice if something create some app to connect USB cable using Windows.....
I have found this
I have found this, but not sure if works or not, maybe someone can explain me better.

Can i share the connection between android and my pc through USB cable?
I'd like to connect to the internet with my android using the PC internet connection. Yes, you can. It's described on koolu's forum. Check this link [1].
If you dont have access i just copy paste the instructions below.
All credit goes to koolu and Brian Code for this info:
[1] forum.koolu.org • Login
Yes, you can use the USB to browse the web...
You need to do three things to enable the internet.
1. First make sure that network forwarding is working on the computer that the phone is connected to. 2. Add the default route to the phone:
Code: Select all
route add default gw 192.168.0.200 dev usb0
3. Add the dns for proper name resolution
Code: Select all
setprop net.dns1 192.168.0.200
You should be able to ping the computer the phone is connected to:
Code: Select all
ping 192.168.0.200
You should also be able to ping IP addresses outside of that subnet if the route has been set up properly. The route can be verified by:
Code: Select all
cat /proc/net/route
If you're using windows 7, its easy. Use a bit of software called connectify. It turns your pc into an access point. Just connect your phone through WiFi and voila!!!
It doesn't have any software same as activesyn for android mobile ?
I cant connect to internet via my HD2 but I have internet connection in my PC.

I know this is not a solution exactly, but the HD port has something called 'Internet pass-through' which is what you want. It's sad that we used to do it easily in WinMo but have to go through hell to do it in Android.
So if you feel like putting up a new ROM, try it here:

If he could connect to his computer through WiFi then wouldn't it be easier to connect straight to the net through WiFi,
There must be a way of doing this, I used to have a Samsung omnia, when you plugged in the usb cable it would connect to the net via the computers connection and sync the emails
Good luck with this but considering there is no way to access the internal memory other than in adb there is probably no way for the pc to access it either

OK so here is THE ULTIMATE question: how to use PC's internet connection on your awesome android phone?
I know, I know there are lot many replies guiding us properly with wi-fi solutions.
But USB? almost null. Please Forgive this mortal if below solution is already known.
so story continues, after weeks of research which phone to buy few days back I got my first android phone -- Desire S -- and I stumbled upon a same hurdle which every smartphone user face, Internet Service from your Operator.
To my shock, my mobile operator does not provide 3G service so only option remaining was GPRS using which I am sure that I will be dead before page load completes.
maaan, I am blabbering to much about my ****. lets cut the chase
Basics
I am using dialup ADSL 2Mbps connection over ethernet on Win7 Ulitmate at my Home PC
Step 1
connect your phone to your PC using USB cable and select tethering option.
Step 2
on your PC go to --> Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections. I am using win7 ultimate, so you need to go to appropriate section as per your OS.
Step 3
now in network connections you will see one more LAN connection with description as unidentified network - HTC Remote NDIS based Device
Step 4
right click on that HTC LAN icon and make sure sharing is NOT ON
Step 5
now right click on your ADSL connection --> go to properties --> go to last / Sharing tab, you will have three option here out of that check first and third and leave alone second, actually I am not sure about third if it really needs, you can differ.
Step 6
once above steps complete come out of all property windows by hitting Ok or Apply. Duh!
Step 7
enjoy your internet on your mobile
now what happens here is that dial-up ADSL connection is now accessible to all LAN connections. Ref. Step 3 normal tethering creates LAN connectivity with my phone.
Thus LOGICALLY I should be able to access internet from HTC device even if it is normal tethered one.
This is not tested on networks like our offices where we get internet through LAN only. I will post my try on in coming day or two.
So guys let me know how it goes with you?
To all Mods and Admin, as I mentioned above forgive this mortal for rules broken and off topic text. And yes I have read the rules.
UPDATE 1
While performing above steps make sure your wi-fi and mobile internet is shut-off. After you connect USB cable to phone, it will prompt you to take action there you have to select internet pass through.

On your phone go to
Turn off wi fi and mobile internet from quick settings
Then go to
Settings-> connect to pc
And either change option two to the last option- internet pass through.
or set option one to ask, and then when promoted by the phone after you connect to pc select the last option (internet pass through).
I'm afraid I don't know how you should set up windows 7

If you have linux, try this : http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
You can try the following for windows, but not sure it works!!
For reverse tethering/pass through, you have to connect your phone using USB and go to network devices and bridge these connections : NIC with you phone.
I use Connectify and a cheap USB wifi dongle to share the Internet connection from PC to phone. Good wifi connection speed is 3-5 megabytes per second. So it's less than 3 minutes to download half of a gig (the size of heaviest Tegra games). I wouldn't call this slow.

This is a new app, that allows you to reverse tether your android (access your computer's connection via usb).
It doesn't require any extra software, or windows installations, or ADB/debugging, or tech savviness, and your connection looks like 3G so that all your apps work seamlessly including Market, Downloads and Talk. it requires a rooted device.
As you can see the process is very simple and takes only a few seconds... the app is called Reverse Tether and it's on the android market now.
A new version has been released
thanks.....
Thanks for this. By any chance would this happen to work on USB Dongles? And how would you setup the connection?
I can't see why not. Just use the wizard that is integrated in the app to help you set it up. The best way to find out really is to try it yourself, worst case senario you uninstall it.
not working
Hi!
I'm trying to do this on a droid x with the Apex ROM. When I start the app, it says "Failed to start Tethering. Make sure this device supports or allows Tethering. Otherwise, you won't be able to use this app.
There's not a whole lot of instructions on how to do a 'usb reverse tether' out there with this app. I have my connection set to "PC Mode" and I'm running on osx. I have to imagine that there's something special that needs to be done on the PC end that the instructions just aren't saying...
Thanks

You don't need any instructions. It's just one button you click it and it's supposed to connect you.
Maybe it's because you have your connection set to "PC MODE"??? Dunno.
On some phones like mine, when it's set to PC mode you can't do anything else with it. So try to turn off PC mode, if you can't then set it to debugging, that will turn off for sure.
You can also test if tethering works on your device by going to settings > wireless and network - and enabling Tethering yourself.
Just curious as to why you would need this?
The phone has WiFi and/or the network.
thanks
Thanks for the info. I'll have to try this. I guess I just have a hard time believing that you just plug the phone in the computer and it automagically works. I would imagine you would have to bridge usb0 or do something.
I tried to enable the 'tether' mode and the computer sees usb0, but that's about as far as I get with it.
As for why I'm doing it... I don't want to be mean, rude, or start anything, but because I have to. I get annoyed because most of the 'reverse tether' threads ask 'why' and 'why not just use wifi', instead of posting something useful. Here's the reason.
When I'm at work, I'm in the middle of nowhere. I get no cell signal, even if trying to use a wilson repeater. I also get no wifi, since the AP's are far away from me. I can't install my own AP because of policies, so what other option do I have? Either a BT PAN or a USB reverse tether. I'm kinda pissed about it and why Verizon won't install anything to get a signal. I'm paying 90 bucks a month and can't use my phone for 8 hours a day.
Once you enable tether, keep it on and try running the app again while it's on. Maybe that will work.
Also, sorry, yes there's a guide in the app that helps you set up your computer, but it's just sharing, a one time thing.. you don't need to bridge anything. But to get there you need to get tether option working.

Why?
Not everyone have an unlimited mobile data plan. And if you have a limited plan, they're usually very expensive, so when you're at home or at work or at school why not spare your bytes and money?
And not everyone have access to WIFI or even need WIFI, it's silly to setup a WIFI network just for your phone. Besides, USB is musch faster, and more secure.
And since you're already connected to USB to recharge or sync, why not also have unlimited super fast internet for free?

droid x
I'm wondering, has anybody got this working on a droid x with the Apex rom? I've just about tried everything. USB Tethering loads drivers in Windows and works fine. The reverse tethering app still says the same error message. I'm starting to wonder if it's not compatible with the dx.
Thanks!
Hey wiz561, have you by any chance tried the most recent version? It seems like your issue have been fixed according to What's New.
If you don't have access to update, you can dowload the Reverse Tether APK file from the developer's website.
Dongle Support
Not compatible with the Transformer Prime. Though I'd instantly donate if it would allow dongles to work.
My question earlier was referring to the compatibility of this app with 3G/4G dongles. I ask because aren't dongles required to connect first via their dashboard/software before sharing the internet via USB? If that's the case, how then would this app reverse tether the dongle's connection? Is there a settings page for these things?
I wonder if it doesn't work for some of us because we have a LAN connection instead a wifi router or ethernet cable connection as the app says...
bad.bad.bad, when you connect your dongle, aren't you supposed to see its own Network Adapter in your Network Connections? I mean that's how Windows works. So just follow the same steps but share that network adapter instead.
Same goes for Netagirl, an ethernet connection is a LAN connection. So whichever network adapter connects you to the internet, share it with your phone's network that is created by the app.

Yeah, I think I made a mistake, my connection from my pc to my external modem, is not via ethernet but USB, so I don't know if that affects. And yes, I do exactly what you said and the app says that I have to respect trial's limitation, at every single hour I'd try =/
I wonder how much battery consumption will reduce using this over wifi tethering... gonna have to try it out. Thanks
