how can i do that? thx
Do you mean you want your phone to share its internet via wifi tethering?
Sent from my SNES
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

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666988
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.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
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...

This function is built in in desire HD and desire, just turn on wifi, connect to your wlan network, plug inn your phone and select share network connection (or something like that). Remember to turn off your 3g connection, or your phone will use that to connect your pc to internet
Well i started using wireless tether and creating a Bluetooth PAN and connecting to my LAN that way. Pdanet does work but i don't want to pay for access to secure https websites

Hello everyone. First let me explain that I have a capped data plan since I'm surrounded by wifi besides work.
Now here is my question. On my old tilt and tilt 2 which were windows based were capable of getting internet from simply plugging them into a PC via USB. The phone would then use internet from the computer itself.
I have a galasxy s (captivate) . Are there any apps to do such a feat?

I might have completely misunderstood what your saying, but could you not turn the wifi on from your phone and connect to them?
Wifi is not allowed at my work. Sorry should have said that.

i hope you are using windows 7 on your laptop...if you are,then download 'connectify'...its easy to set up and will turn your laptop into a wifi hotspot so that you can use your laptops internet connection on your phone... cheers
Its possible
It is possible. But there is a but.
It is a standard feature of HTC sync.... To connect your device to your laptop and use its internet connection.
So....I guess someone have to extract that functionality and pack it into something that works on all devices...
I use it quite a lot.. And I have removed sense from my revolution rom with a script from desire forum.
Good luck

Did you even bother to read the original post?
We all know we can use the desktop wifi to connect our mobiles.
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.

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.

are you able to browse on mobile? how are you connecting to PC? i believe you might have read about teethering step above. use the USB option for PC or wifi option for Laptops. it should work out without issues normally.
