[Q] Reverse thetering on samsung i5500 with win xp - General Questions and Answers

Hey all..
I have an Ethernet internet connection on my laptop, and would like to share the internet with my Android device.
I tried creating an ad hoc connection, but apparently Android will not see the connection.
I tried to create a virtual access point, but apparently that's not possible with windows xp.
I tried USB reverse thetering but windows won't find the driver recommended by google
I read some place that it is possible for Android to see the ad hoc connection but I should root my phone and change some wireless file.
What is the exact procedure?
I have a samsung i5500 running on Android 2.2. I have rooted my phone.
I have a windows XP
P.S: This is the first time I ask for help on a forum (not just here). I am good good at searching but I did not find a solution for this.

With the software "connectify" you can emulate an AP under Windows..
edit: You can also patch the wpa_supplicant file.. search the forum

I'll look for the wpa_supplicant..
connectify allows only ad hoc in win xp.. AP is for win 7..

Connect to computer with Windows 7 x64

Hi guys,
I tried to find an answer to my problem under the forum "Touch Cruise Android Development". Unfortunately, I did not find any relevant thread.
Could you please let me know how can I connect my HTC Touch Cruise (Froyo 2.2) to my laptop on Win7 64 bits?
When I connect my phone to my PC, Win7 tries to download drivers for the device name "Android Phone", but it failed (No drivers found).
I tried to :
- Use HTC Sync (it's not design for Touch Cruise)
- Try to manually install HTC drivers 64 bits (downloaded from here)
I am looking forward to connect my P3650 to my laptop to be able to share internet using USB (wifi is not working yet).
Thanks for potential answers.
You can't share your pc connection with polaris using usb.
install android sdk and the drivers from android develop (use google)
Will it be possible later?
On WM6.5 it was possible to share internet in both way (from computer to phone // from phone to computer (ex: using 3G)).
i don't think so because there are some other major problems to fix before it
i am still looking for some ways to share internet to my computer, can any one help? thx a lot

Hi,
did you find a solution for you need?
I'm in a similar situation:
Internet sharing from HTC TyTn II wm6.1 to android 2.3.1 iMiTo AM801 8" running Android Gingerbread 2.3.1.
I tried to substitute the wpa_supplicat file as indicated in several threads after rooting my device, but none of them seems to work for me, and all of them break the connection also to non-adhoc wifi network, so I reverted to the original file.
Any help? any news? Let me know, thanks!

You have the answer in your OP itself. Check this out:
nectify can work in Ad-Hoc mode with just about any Wi-Fi device on Windows 7, Vista, or XP.
However, to run in Access Point mode, you must be running Windows 7, and you must have a Windows 7 certified network device driver for your Wi-Fi device. You have this device driver if you own any Windows 7 logo certified Wi-Fi device (laptop, dongle, card, etc.). However, many older devices have also been updated with Windows 7 certified drivers.

And this:
The following are known "abandoned" devices, believed to lack certified Windows 7 drivers from their manufacturers. They could of course be updated at any time.

Wait until & if Intel releases a Win 7 compatible driver for your card.
Check if they have already released an update for your card which you may not have installed.
Hope this helps.

Instead of replacing your wpa_Supplciant file manually, you can use wifi adhoc enabler app which will take a backup of your wpa_supplicant file and modify it so that our mobile will detect adhoc-wifi.
Im using Dell laptop, Windows Vista and adhoc wifi enabled using connectify and sharing that with my SGR

It will work only in rooted devices. Because Andorid cannot detech Adhoc WiFi in general. Only a rooted device with the wpa_supplicant file change can do that. Since its a system file, rooting is must

[Completed] access apple share from android

I'm trying to access a share on a Mac from Android. The share is on a FAT32 external drive, and I can browse/access it from another Mac and from a PC. But when I try to connect from Android, I get an error on the username/password (same user/pass as I'm using from other Mac and from PC). This happens with both ES File Explorer and AndSMB. I've tried both checking and unchecking the "Windows File Sharing" checkbox on the Mac, using anonymous, and two different userids (one a login user, the other a "sharing-only" user). The Android tablet (Galaxy Note 12.2 running CyanogenMod 12.1/Android 5.1.1) can access Windows shares but I need to get to some stuff on the Mac. My phone (stock GS6) is the same--can access Windows and my router's USB share but not the Mac.
Searching didn't turn up anything useful so I'd appreciate pointers to threads where this has been discussed.
TIA.
Bill
