Hi I am new and cannot post in dev section.
Best solution is to use a "virtual router". Phone connect so nicely as if its an access point.
You can use free software or bash simple command in CMD. See this for more info:
http://www.itgeekdiary.com/windows-7-as-an-wi-fi-access-point/comment-page-1/
Please note you must have compatable wifi card in laptop/pc.
Please post this tip for me in the section. Cheers mate

connectify is much easier to use,
used to create virtual access point to share internet from laptop....

I tried the Android Reverse Tethering 2.29 and it worked.. i turned off the Network Connection, and was using internet and a few apps with PC internet.. but i had a small problem... i couldn't download game data files and also i couldn't update apps from the play store.. is there any way this is possible.???

Yes !!!
Yes. Its Possible. For doing it u need,
1. Connectify, a software to be installed in ur PC
2. Your Phone should be rooted.
3. Download and install an android app called WifiAdHoc Enabler
After rooting ur phone, install the WifiAdhoc Enabler. It will take a backup of wpa_supplicant file and then modify it so that the android mobile can detect Adhoc wifi.
Then enable internet in your PC. Switch on Bluetooth. Open the Connectify Software and click start sharing. In your phone, enable your wifi. Your phone will detect a Wifi named Connectify. Connect and Enjoy..
P.S: This method is working and thats how im using my Laptop's internet in my SGR

Thanks for the solution, but my PC doesn't have Bluetooth our wifi.. I tried connectify.. But it's doesn't start sharing..

Use AllShare to Obtain IP Address
Download connectify and start hotspot in your laptop.
Try using the Wifi in your mobile to connect. If you are continously getting Obtaining IP address message, use AllShare application to connect to the Laptop Wifi hotspot. AllShare will get the IP address. Then you can use ur laptop internet connection in Mobile without Wires.

Here is the solution:
Just turn on your GPRS or EDGE or 3G connectivity(Whichever you use) right before reverse tethering. This way you can download apps from the play store....dont worry you wont be charged for the mobile data connection:laugh:

use connectify.you can download this free software from its offical webside.

Not Yet buddy. Crashed my wifi in all attempts. Seems in ICS, we have some other file apart from wpa_supplicant that is controlling the wifi. Trying to find it out.

Yes Buddy. But as quoted in that post, its not detecting ad-hoc wifi. As per the post, we can create Encrypted Wi-Fi access point (WPA2) which can be detected by ICS. But its not ad-hoc. When u use Connectify, there will be another option called Ad-hoc wifi which is yet to be made detectable by ICS.
Even the WPA2 connection works only with Windows 7 and not in Windows Vista. If you have Windows 7 in ur machine, you can try the method as suggested in the post. It shud work

Anyone can port/alter the same.. ???

I'm using Connectify for sharing internet, it's working perfectly at home and at office too.
Edit : silly me got it now regarding WEP. Sorry.

BB ROM, I have used it on all ROMs, (MAZEL, MIUI, ANGEEKS, STOCK GB AND ICS)
Using latest Connectify V3.6, and i have used all versions too 3.2,3.4
WPA2 connection,
actually connectify is not compatible with all Windows-7, it works perfectly on Service pack 1 only, and if you have luck then only it will work on others, I have 2 laptops it works smoothly on DELL, but gives deadly blue screen on other laptop, in my office I am using it on Desktop fortunately it's working here too.

Bro, you start connection in WPA2 mode ???
but i dont have that option in my laptop...in mine only two are available.
1. Ad-HOC Open
2. Ad-HOC, Secured
There is no WPA2 mode, thats why i need a modded WPA SUPPLICANT file which will further enable AD HOC connection to be detected in my SGR.
For GB ROM i had a working WPA SUPPLICANT file, but now in ICS no one managed it to port it or make it work

Saw this in one of the comments in the link mentioned in op
a more simpler solution would be to download and install VIRTUAL ROUTER on ur wifi enabled laptop. open in, set up username n password, then press start. after tht just turn on wifi on ur phone, scan, select, enter password. done!
Will this thing work on our device?

[Q] Wifi Direct Apps

Hello mates,
I just want to know which app would be the best for Wifi direct ?
If am not wrong, wifi direct is a concept where we can share the files from PC to phone or vice versa without a working internet connection.(Correct me if i am wrong)
So, which app would be the best to do this ?
I have a laptop and MMX a110.. I would enable my MMX a110 as wifi hotspot and turn on the wifi on my laptop..
Which app you people think is the best for this ?

I prefer you use ad hoc instead of some app. Since you got a Laptop, it would be easy.
