If your PC has Bluetooth and supports PAN Profile as an Access Point, it should work Yes.

Reverse Tethering, G1 use the PC ADSL Connection

I am using now the G1 connected wifi to the PC Network Card (without a Wireless router)
It is simple if you have a network card that support AP Mode, I am using on the PC a PCI Card Kraun 300N that support AP mode.
After installing the driver and the utility, I have an icon in the tray Ralink Wireless Card, and with the right click I can choose AP Mode and setup the Adapter as Access Point with the security too.
Don't forget to share the connection:
Right-Click the connection you are currently using to access the internet. Click Properties. Go to the Advanced tab and check “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection”.
This is simple if you have an adapter that support AP Mode, but before the Kraun Card I was using an usb wifi adapter that there wasn't the AP Mode, and with the Ad Hoc connection that normally you use for PC to PC, there was no way to recognize the PC Wifi on the G1.
I hope someone find a way to use a reverse tethering with a simple ad hoc connection.
i'm trying to find out a way to connect to a computer with ad hoc and share the internet on my G1. i'll let you know what i find

OK, so the OP is saying that he's sharing his PC's internet connection via wifi with his G1.
You're talking about the opposite, correct? Using the data connection from the phone to get a PC on the internet?
There are a couple of apps that do this, but I think they require the phone to be rooted. There's a wifi tether program (for rooted phones) where the G1 becomes a 3G WAP and PCs can connect to the phone and through the phone access the internet. There's also an app or two to do it via the USB connection (I'm not sure if those require root or not)
Here's one app. I know I've seen it recommended, but I don't personally know anything about it.

nope, we are both talking about
PC has internet.
G1 has no inet
set up ad hoc on computer
connect G1 (figure out a way to connect to an adhoc network)
share PC's inet through windows ICS.
PC internet to G1 through USB
Okay, I know how to use an AD-HOC connection using the wireless, but how about using the USB connection to get internet to the G1 using the PC's internet connection...I have searched and have not found anything on this Unless I am blind does anyone know how this can be done?

Even I'm also waiting for some solutions. I searched over website but i couldn't able to find anything.
Do you want to share your computer internet to phone?
Yeh like the E71.
So you use your home internet and tether it to your phone, via blue tooth, or usb.
You can search around the web for tether programs for your laptop or wifi enabled desktop. I tried it out once but couldn't really get it to work.
If youre running on windows 7 then you can download a program called connectify... its gonna transmit wifi through the laptops internal wifi card... but for that to work you have to have the actual internet accessing from an ethernet cable on the laptop

CradlePoint with Sensation?

I tried to follow this tutorial to use a CradlePoint CTR350 router with the Sensation
http://www.cradlepoint.com/about/blog/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router
I do not see the "Mobile Broadband Connect" USB connection mode. I did see a USB Tether option, which asked me Mac of PC and I figured the router would be more like a PC and I chose PC. The phone would not share its internet connection with the router.
Has anyone been able to use a Sensation with a CradlePoint router, and if so, which router and what settings did you do on the phone?
Thanks
Any comments?
Thanks in advance.
I really would like to be able to connect the Sensation to a Cradlepoint router so it can be a backup Internet source if my wireline Internet service is down. Any ideas on getting Sensation to work with CradlePoint?

I had a quick look at the web site you gave. If I understand it, it's a USB -> WIFI router. Such that the Cradlepoint WIFI routes via USB and 3G (phone) to the Internet.
Assuming that's the case I can't see anything in particular why it shouldn't work.
Can you use USB tethering to connect a single PC to the Internet via USB/3G ? (If this works and my assumptions are correct the phone is working fine).
Do you need to configure the Cradlepoint device in any way ?
In the absence of this, the phone can act as a WiFI hotspot, does this not give you enough connectivity to the Internet?

I actually have Mac and I often use the wifi tethering. I only tried USB tethering with the Cradlepoint. The first time the phone asked me Mac or PC and I chose PC, thinking Cradlepoint would be similar to PC. I don't know how to get it to ask PC or Mac for USB tethering again. I would like to be able to connect an Ethernet cable to Cradlepoint to get to the Internet. That would be for the scenario my home Internet is down, then I would want to connect my main router WAN to the Ethernet of the cradlepoint and get Internet through the cell phone.
Anyone have any success in using a cradlepoint?

Reverse tethering using laptops wifi and usb question

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

Can't access home network when phone is usb tethered?

My android phone is usually on wifi at home. My laptop has some wifi chip/antennae issues so I have to either connect to the network via a lan port or, alternatively, use android phone usb tethering. If I am connected via the latter, on the laptop I observe that I cannot connect to the router network - I cannot even access the router login page.
I don't know a simple term for this feature. I guess it works like a network switch. But is there any app that, when enabled would help me connect my laptop (when usb-tethered) to the wifi network?
