Internet tethering on Ubuntu? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone got this working? I tried on my ubuntu netbook and it didn't work. Anybody got solutions?

What kind of connection were you using? WiFi should be very straight forward and works well for me in Arch, not Ubuntu though. Haven't tried bluetooth/USB yet.

I am trying to get my 3G connection on my netbook using my nexus s. Is it possible? Or is the 3G tethering for windows/mac only?

Worked fine on my Sammy i9000.... setup teethering, run ifconfig and u will see another Ethernet number eg eth1 or wlan1. Just select that network in your network manager and good to go

There will be a 'usb0' device when you are using USB tethering and networkmanager should recognize it automatically.

I just tried on mine to see if it would work, connected my phone's usb cable to the computer, went in settings/wireless/usb tethering and checked in usb tethering....works great, nothing more to it then that. Using Ubuntu 10.10

I can't even get Ubuntu to detect my nexus s. How?

There's a thread (Stickie) in the General section telling you how to unlock bootloader and root on Ubuntu, it'll also tell you how to install the drivers for your computer to detect your Nexus S.
Here's a link to it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883032

Wireless ap App

My phone will host the network... But my computer will not connect To it...
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I am using the leaked version of 2.2 and have no problem connecting my laptop and netbook to the Mobile AP. Sometimes it takes awhile for the icon in the start menu to show "Internet Access".
Mine works great. Both usb tether and wifi ap. On rogers 3g

MobileAP doesn't work for me either, it takes a long time to connect and when it does it says limited connectivity and of course nothing works. I tried all of the tethering apps form the market, nothing works for some reason.
Maybe it has something to do with the android version? I am running 2.2

Maybe mine is not working b/c I am using a fido apn on a locked rogers phone?

Nothing to do with the version you're running or the apn settings, as long as you have data mobile ap should work.

Wireless Tether issues?

Has anybody gotten wifi tethering to work right? I've tried the built-in one along with Wireless Tether for Root users and Barnacle Tether. Nothing works. They all seem to but nothing happens and I can't see the network.

I use PDAnet and it works flawlessly. I think you're probably having issues with the driver? I tried using the stock one as well and had no luck, once I downloaded the PDAnet server client it also installed the correct drivers (for windows 7)
No problems with wireless tether for root. Superclean rom with voodoo kernel...

Well I use Easytether for USB tethering, I have both and easytether is faster, you should try it. my question was about wireless tethering because I needed to do some debug on an iPad and didn't have wifi.
It started working right after I posted this thread though lol idk what was wrong before. thanks guys.

Try enabling Debugging in Applications--> Development Also check your device manager to see if your phone shows up and if there's a problem.

Debugging is enabled, it's showing up under network adapter as "remote ndis based internet sharing device" and it claims it's working properly.

Weird, after a restart it's working. thanks!

I checked my XP computer and it shows up as the same "remote ndis based internet sharing device". I wish I had a Windows 7 computer to check. You could try a different computer to see if its CM7 or the computer. Also check your network connections in Windows 7 to see if it shows up, it does in XP. I wonder if Windows 7 is blocking the connection for some reason. Since it shows up in device manager it should be working.

Glad you're up and running. Tethering either by wifi or usb can be very useful.

Noob mobile hotspots issue

Hello. I am really new to all this and I have a problem that I can't seem to find similar posts explaining or having the same issue. I have the supercm7 v1 rom on my infuse4g and the mobile hotspots won't work. A user can connect to it and we even saw that he could get an IP address and DNS was working. But no data, cannot load any webpages or anything. I looked at the apn settings and played around with them with different suggestions with no luck. Any ideas? Thank you

ROOT as you said that you had done. You can root stock. Then freeze or uninstall tethering manager in titanium backup. Done. Make sure you have a visible SSID

Need MAJOR Tethering help =(

Does anyone know how to get an open NAT or get upnp with Android WIFI Tether or any other tethering??
I am using my Galaxy S3 to play on XBOX LIVE and it really sucks not having open NAT. Tons of problems. Can't play with friends, party's don't work, etc. This is now my primary internet and I get like 70-90MS even... but without this working I'm sort of out of luck =(
If anyone can help point me in the right direction, or anything I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks!

I don't think you can open or close NAT on your phone.
I've had this problem with my router and I fixed it with port forwarding, but I don't believe you can forward ports on your phone.
As far as UPnP goes I don't think you can enable that as well.
Your best bet (probably) would be to plug a router into your phone somehow and then enabled UPnP and port forwarding on it through router settings.
Using a crossover cable I once got it to work. But since then I can't figure out why it won't. I used a crossover cable from my pc to my xbox and connected my pc wirelessly to the phone.
as described in this thread.

Have you tried using a router/modem with a crossover cable?
No. Do you mean with Windows internet sharing?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
No, I literally mean plugging a cable from your phone directly into a router/modem and broadcasting a WiFi network.
So how do I get a CAT 5 from my phone to the router? =)
How did you plug your phone into your xbox?
Either through wireless tethering, or connect laptop to phone via wireless or usb cable, then run a crossover cable to x box and use Windows connection sharing. Once upon a time I actually got this to give me open nat, but it was several months ago and I can't figure it out

Not sure if that will actually work, but worth a try.
I don't see how that would fix the problem.

It would work like a wired tether I believe.
