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.

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:

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"

So the client phone can be hacked to be able to recognize and connect to ad-hoc, but this generally requires root access....... correct?

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...

At work, there's no Wi-Fi and no T-Mobile signal.
Is there a way to use my PC's network connection to provide data to my phone? I have a rooted Android phone.
I´m also looking for this.
It is the same thing we can do with ActiveSync in Windows Mobile: you get internet access trough your PC...
I hope someone can help us with any clue.
Thank you.

Like USB tethering? I thought there was a USB tethering app on the market.

Hi both of you!
It's called ad hoc network, if you have Vista or Windows 7, do like this:
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Set up a new connection or network -> Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer to computer network) -> Follow instructions!
Good luck
You forgot to mention the tiny problem that Android has do damn Ad-Hoc support....
honestly just try starting your own network go grab a wifi dongle thats capable and go from there that or get a wireless router and try that sharing the internet connection to the router OR bluetooth connection if your phone is capable ! many different ways ive tried them all but usb tethering ive never heard of out side of wm os
It is possible...
I wrote about this before. It is possible to do via usb cable if you use Sense as it is a standard feature in Sense connection... Just plug in and you can choose to use PC internet connection.
I have done it a lot with my PC

My custom rom (x10 mini pro) support ad hoc as far as i know.
Connectify
If you are using Windows7, you might want to take a look at Connectify. Just google "connectify for windows". I can't post outside links yet.
Direct from their website:
Take any Internet connection and share it wirelessly with no additional hardware, wires, plugs, or chargers
Easily connect any number of Wi-Fi enabled devices to your network including desktop computers, laptops, phones, gaming systems, and more
Don't break the bank paying for multiple Wi-Fi connections on the road, Connectify is ad-supported and free to download and use.

Adhoc can be made to work

Of course this would need a wifi dongle in your work PC, will admins allow that?
in the newer roms with gingerbread it's an option to do this when you plug in your phone.

Do you mean you want your phone to share its internet via wifi tethering?

no, i mean access internet from pc, via wireless usb dongle
Might want to be a bit more specific there. From what you're saying, it sounds like you're trying to do what bedalus said.
If what you mean is that you want to access your wired internet service wirelessly to your phone, you're going to need to pick up a wireless router or something.

The second part is true, i want to access the wired internet service and i have an wireless usb dongle(adaptor), also i want to share files with pc wireless.
What PS do u have? With Windows 7 you can create an ad-hoc under network sharing center -> set Up a Connection or Network -> Set up a wireless ad hockey (computer-to-computer) network. Then you can just follow the instructions on the pc

i created an adhoc connection, but the phone don't see it, also i read that that nexus s cannot do adhoc connections, it is true?

Yes you are right. Nexus s does not support ad hoc. I am sorry, I did not know that. This is weird even iDevices support it.
You can try ZT180 adhoc switcher from the market. But I cannot guarantee it will work. Because I have not tried it by myself.
Another option is using Connectify from windows 7 PC. I don't know about apple PCs. But connectify can turn your windows 7 PC into a real access point router. Not just a ad-hoc.
Well the last option is get a wifi router. What internet do you use? I am sure you can have a wifi router for all internet connections. NO matter you have ADSL, Broadband(Ethernet? I don't really know how to call it) even 3g or 4g connection can be wifi-routered! You just need to pick a correct device since NS does not support ad-hoc.

Under "Password" field in Connectify , you have an option "Internet". There you can select your internet connection to share. Hope that works!
I mean i select the win7 default connection " Local Area Connection", and set it to shared, but the Connectify connection (access point) doesn't have network access, i don't know why, i tried almost 10 times, it just doesn't work.

Update: I think i solved it, i just turn off the firewall of ESET and windows, and it works fine, thank u guys
Hello!
I recently moved away to a new home and I don't have a wifi router at this time and don't actually need one for just my G3. But still want to try whether any alternative is possible. I stumbled upon what a trick called "AdHoc" but according to the guide, android nativly doesn't support Adhoc (or something like that).
So I am looking for a way to make it work OR any other way to get wifi on my phone. Probably something like reverse tethering.
Thanks!!!
EDIT :: I am also tried using adhoc for myself but, the phone gets stuck on "authenticating" .
So you want to tether your phone to your computer?
I use a program for Connectify to make my own private hotspot using whatever wired connection my laptop has. Its entirely free though probably not the most lightweight or "hack-y" way of doing it.
We had a guide for tethering your PC internet for froyo in which we had to replace WPA supplicant file but it's of no use to you (cm 7)
I myself had tried adhoc of Microsoft but it is way too difficult to configure
You did not mention anything about your PC
If it is from Dell you get a program known as peer net with which you can get wifi in your home. This works with our galaxy 3
Also I think cm7 supports Adhoc as the program mentioned above works flawlessly with it
If it is true then try connectify, virtual router and other programs
If you succeed in configuring wifi be prepared to use the slowest internet speed possible

I am on stock ICS and in order to use an app called TouchOSC on my atrix 2 to control a DJ'ing software on my macbook pro i need to wirelessly tether my phone to my mac. So for this I created an Ad hoc network on my macbook and tried connecting my phone to it. i couldnt get that to work since my phone refuses to connect to the ad hoc network everytime. however i am able to set everything up perfectly when i am using a router to connect both my Macbook and the phone. But i cant carry the router everywhere so i need an On the go solution so for that its important to get the adhoc connection working.
any solutions?
PS: i have heard i can get it to work after rooting, but the success rate is really low. what can I do?
Anyone?
I will be honest, I have several macs at home, and I have never been able to get the a2 to work with ad hock wifi, but blue tooth ad hock networking seems to work ok for me. I can both share the internet connection on my macbooks, and I can even ssh to and from the macbook pros to the phone and back.
Not sure about the apps you are using, nor what they use exactly, but if it is just IP or http or similar the blue tooth connection should work.

I believe ICS blocked ad hoc connections, I read somewhere u can modify WPA supplicant, but I didn't look into it too far...
PS doesn't work on win or Linux either

Yeah it does... I have used both linux and mac os, but have not tried windows. Bluetooth tethering as I mentioned works well, and I did not have to change anything to make it work. Now technically you are correct that wifi tether does not work well with ICS, but, as I mentioned I have been using bluetooth without issues, and since most macs have bluetooth out of the box, it was one of those things to try out. My linux home box also has a bluetooth receiver on the MB, and I have tested it there as well. It was sort of trial and error to get it all setup right, and I do not remember what exactly I did, but I have been using it without issue for months now.
P.S. I am still on leak one, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I have found several things that do not work on the OTA still seem to work with leak 1, and why I have not updated to the OTA, and I never will.
