Hello!
Right now im using my android phone to Tether my 3G to my PC via USB.
At the same time I create a mobile hotspot ( using the same phone, at the same time ) to connect my Transformer to the internet.
That works perfectly.
Im trying to figure out a way to "remote desktop" my pc from my transformer.
Im using Splashtop Remote but it can't connect because im not on the "same network".
Basicly my PC being tethered from the phone doesnt count as same network.
Its pretty confusing I know but if somebody understand and have some kind of idea to make this work... please help!
Thanks
well if im not mistaken our phones does not enable discoverable LAN settings. you could just use the gmail log in function in splashtop
also if im not mistaken the device MAC address for the wifi and usb tethering is different. hence it kind of considers that both are on a different network

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?
I wonder if there's any app/program that can make me use my HD2 as a internet source through WLAN? I've already searched the forum for this kind of question without sucess, so now I wonder if this option are availible in the HD2 or if someone could make a app for that.
And if it is availible as a option in the HD2, I'd really need some instructions.

theres a program called wifi router in the phone. where you can connect your laptop or pc too and use your data connection to access the internet.

Yes. I know that =) But with WiFi router I can't use WLAN as a internet source right?
So what do you want?
HSDPA --> HD2 --> wifi --> laptop?
Wifi --> HD2 --> wifi/usb --> laptop?
I think it's the latter.
You can connect your HD2 to an access point. However, then it is in infrastructure mode. It only has one radio with no virtual radio option. You cannot connect to a WLAN network AND simultaneously broadcast your own ad-hoc one.
However, you can connect the device to a WLAN network and connect it via usb to a laptop and then when it connects select 'internet modem' out of active sync and disk drive on the menu that appears on the phone.
Then disable the phone in commanager to force it to use wifi.
His question isn't clear at all, but I presume it's rather Wifi->HD2->laptop via USB, i.e make a USB Wifi dongle. In that case, WMWifirouter can do it.

as soon as he plugs in the HD2 via usb it will offer the 'use phone as gateway' option. no need to dialup I think. i havent tested it tho.
your laptop has no Wife function ?
perhaps he has another need for a second wifi card...yes, you techies know why you would need more than one wifi device or mac address...tehee, yes you do
Enchanter has a point though - why not get a usb dongle or pcmcia stick?
Better performance, less heat/strain on phone.

Look for Wifi Remote Access. Turns HD2 into something like a web server. You can browse and upload files to it from any other computer.
Okay thank you, and yes i mean Wifi --> HD2 --> wifi/usb --> laptop/PC.
Need it because of my wifi card is broken, and sometimes it is really usefull to have something like this.
And thank you all =) Will try what you recommended.
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?
Hey all,
I have an unrooted Asus Eee Pad Transformer, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible to tether the internet from my laptop to my Transformer.
I've plugged it into my laptop, and clicked tether, but do not seem to get any internet connection. Is anyone able to help?
Thanks
Rob
It is possible but you need additional software on your laptop or you need to enable ICS (Internet connection sharing) which often has mixed results.
It also depends on how your laptop is connecting to the internet. If your laptop has a wired connection to the net then your wifi will offer the hotspot connection for your other wireless devices such as the TF'er. I've used Connectify before which worked well although I did need to manually start the connection after each reboot even though it was in the startup programs.
Think I've decided it's my university internet connection. I have a wired connection, but unable to make a wifi hotspot as I'm only allowed one I.P address blah blah, so complete and utter ball ache if you ask. May give them a ring!
I'm in the same situation as you are. No wifi and only one IP.
Use Connectify on laptop. Works for me. No prolem with 1 IP becouse it will make it's own subnet.
Other option is to use USB-rj45 dongle. Had been explaned somewhere on this forum.
Why not use a WiFi router and mirror the IP address if you are only going to use one at a time.
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows of an Android app that will allow me to share the lan connection on my tablet via wifi?
Have looked at lots of hotspot type apps but the vast majority are simple shortcuts to an exisiting wifi hotspot function that shares the mobile data connection.
Seems daft to me that I have lan and wifi on my tablet but I'm looking at an ap to connect my other devices!
Thanks
Jin
I didnt understand what u said
If u want to share ur tab net to other use wifi hotspot
If u have wifi connection u can connect via wifi

Are you trying to tether your data connection or do you mean using your tablet as a hub for an existing wifi connection?
What phone do you have?
What carrier?
Did you root your phone?
Have you flashed a new ROM?
Sorry but you were rather vague in your post.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Ok thanks. To clarify my tablet (not phone and therefore no carrier involved) has both ethernet and wifi I would like to use the ethernet to connect to my network/internet and then broadcast that connection via wifi.
This is exactly the same thing a normal wifi hotspot does except it broadcasts the mobile data connection as opposed to a wired connection.
The tablet has been flashed with Tims 6 ROM
Don't now if it's possible. On phone it;s not possible to share be a hotspot when you're on wifi. I guess it uses the same piece of hardware. That might also be the case for you with the LAN.
BTW try talking to this guy :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735708
he had sort of the same question perhaps he figured it out?
edit: This is also you i now see.. never mind

How do you have your tablet connected to the internet, wireless or wired? If wired, how did you do that? If it's wireless, you're just using your tablet as a signal booster.
What i'm confused on is if you connected your tablet wireless and want to connect other devices to your tablet's "wifi" which in essence is wifi, why can't that device connect to the same internet as your tablet?
I think we're all a bit confused on what you're trying to accomplish.
Sorry folks struggling here with what you don't get (not being smart just confused)
I have an Android tablet that has both wifi and an ethernet connection, I connect to my network via ethernet and want to use that connection to then create a wifi hotspot for my other devices to connect to.
I already do this with my win7 laptop and am looking for an app to do the same on the tablet.
If my terminology is correct I need to bridge the lan connection to the wifi adapter?
