Why don't use Wireless Tether and everything can pull internet from the phone without the need of a router?

Bridge the connections in network connections or use ICS

tried both of those, the bridge would connect, but no internet, ics didn't work either, i am pretty tired though probably missing something simple.
WIFI tether is cool and all but i want to use it full time with a dedicated phone and be able to use my wireless printer

I've never been able to get to work if you do post Back with what you did. I think the issue is up addresses, you may have to setup the router gateway address as the pcs ip or even the phones ip... Im not a networking guru though

to be honest i was hoping someone had done it and could tell me how easy it was. while trying to get it to work today i was just clicking around, tomorrow i'll go about if more scientifically and post all the stuff i'm doing wrong.

I can't see any reason off the top of my head why ICS wouldn't work.
So, let me see if I have this straight. Your phone is connected to your PC via USB. Your access point is connected to the PC via ethernet. And you want other devices to connect over wifi and have Internet access. That about right?
Try this... Assign the ethernet port on your PC a static IP address of 192.168.1.1. Connect that to the "Internet" port on your access point, and assign that port an IP address of 192.168.1.2. In the wireless setup on your access point, assign the wireless side the static ip address 192.168.2.1 and tell it to act as a dhcp server, and hand out addresses from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200. Netmask in all cases will be 255.255.255.0. For dns go ahead and use 208.67.222.222 unless you have another dns service that you prefer.
The router should be configured to use 192.168.1.1 as its default gateway. The wireless devices should be set to use 192.168.2.1 as their default gateway.
This *should* work. Different accesss points can be finicky in various ways, but I really don't see why the setup I've outlined wouldn't work....

[Q] DNS Issue w/tethering to Xbox360?

Ok ive been tryin to tether my Nexus S4g to my xbox using my laptop and I keep getting an error on xbox that its no able to get DNS settings or somthing to connect. I used to be able to do it with my Epic just fine but no go with my
Nexus. Im running CM7 with Matrix 5.5 bfs kernal. Ive tried it with the built in hotspot, wired tether, pda net and nothing all the same errors. Could a different kernal work by any chance? or Rom? any help would be greatly appreciated!!! thanks in advance!

I'm confused, what does your laptop have to do with it? Can't you connect directly to the hotspot with the xbox?

I dont got a wireless adapter for my xbox, so it wont connect directly, so i use my laptop connected to it using zune to go on live.

Oh okay. Do you get Internet on the laptop when connecting? Have you tried verifying the dns settings (should work fine in automatic but you can always set it up manually if needed)
Sent from my Nexus S 4G

manually configure an IP Address on the XBox and set the DNS Servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and that should fix it.
Keep in mind that you are doing a double NAT the way you are setup and XBL may be difficult to connect to. It has an issue with double-NAT. I set my network adapters in bridged mode to set up similar to what you are doing (though my connection at home is through WIFI to Comcast, it's still the path as you are using to get the XBox to the Internet).

MyCloud/Splashtop = Outside Home Network?

Can I use 3G or say my schools wi-fi to access my home computer?

If you're tethering from 3G, just make sure you portforward your router, and just put your external ip in the settings. Google ipchicken to find out your external ip.

Interesting.
But any idea how do I make my IP fixed?
It seems that the external IP changes whenever I make a new tether connection.
BTW, which port should I forward through?m My 2wire router ask only for the tcp/udp port for forwarding, it does not require me to key in any IP address.
Can you advice?
thanks.

To work around the dynamic external IP address you can set up a free account at DynDNS:
http://dyn.com/dns/dyndns-free/
The above link will set up a hostname for your IP address and when it changes, DynDNS will automatically update.
To forward the correct ports, go to the website below and choose the router model you have and then select "Splashtop Remote" from the list after that. (You'll get redirected to an AD, just click skip ad at the top right of the page)
http://portforward.com/
If you already know how to forward the ports, they are 6783 to 6785, both TCP & UDP

Splashtop can sign into a Google account and find itself regardless of networks. I've had no troubles hitting my computer from miles away using that method. Being said I nixed my loud and bought splashtop HD, easily with the money.

This is the best method, and easiest. I used my above solution when it wouldn't work with my Gmail account. But I already had DYNDNS set up for my media server so I only had to forward the ports.

Just a note/caveat they are correct that, no matter what, you are going to need to make sure your route is setup to make your computer connectable on those ports. Otherwise its just going to block the traffic thinking its malicious.
I have run into connectivity errors on some networks because they also block traffic on non-common ports, so if you occasionally cant find yourself that could be it.

thank guys!!
very infomative!

I tried everything.
I forwarded ports on my router.
Disabled my firewalls.
Changed to Static IP on my computer, then router, then both.
Made sure the ip was outside DCHP range.
Rebooted after every change.
Tried DynDNS, but I must be stupid because there's no way to enter a host address in splashtop.
Tried using external programs to set a static internal ip.
Set Splashtop to external/internal IP.
I don't know what the hell it is, but I just can't get this nonsense to work. I don't understand what's so easy about this for some people. I have comcast cable modem attached to n300v3 router over WAN, and nothing I try works. Been at this for 3 days. Time I quit.

Are you doing the google account link? That, along with making the ports pass through on my router, was all I did. Seriously, that is is. Comcast/xfinity with a belkin wifi router.

dual home with tether?

Has anyone been able to dual-home their windows pc using a lan with internet, and their phone internet? Reason, personal internet speed sucks compared to 4g, but would still like to access my lan files.
my ip configs:
192.168.0.1 for the lan
255.255.255.0 mask
192.168.43.1 for phone
255.255.0.0 mask

Pretty sure they have to be in the same subset to see each other. So USB tether your phone for internet and that should make it easier to deal with the lan. Otherwise you'll need to set the phone as your gateway to draw internet from it and change your IP to be in the same subset ie: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.21 etc

If you are connected to both your personal lan and the phone then you can access the lan files.

I can't see why an Ethernet connection to your LAN and a WiFi connection to your phone/hotspot couldn't be active at the same time... going to try it just for giggles, will post in a few minutes if it works

Well, so far I've tried FoxFi, Barnacle, and SVTP WiFi hotspot apps and each has its own issues with my current nightly install of CM10. FoxFi wouldn't activate, Barnacle would but not broadcast the SSID, and SVTP worked up until connecting to my laptop, connection failed.
Maybe someone on a stock or another ROM can try for you... but heck, try it yourself, nothing to loose!
You may have to sync up the subnets though... make them both 192.168.0.XXX for example.

I may have totally missed this last night but the hotspot feature is built in on the 8-31 nightly. I don't use it very much so I may have missed it last night.

it does work in tandem, however the MUCH slower lan network takes speed precedence over the 4g. speedtests with both running in tandem are stuck at 1mbps as opposed to my usual 20 with 4g. Any thoughts on how to get the 4g speeds to take precedence while still retaining my lan connection?
thanks for the feedback everyone!

[Q] Q| IP-Webcam App Problem

hello,
i downloaded the app IP-Webcam that stream your camera live to your PC or any other device.
every time a start the server, with or without WIFI, my IP start with 10 (10.*.*.*:8080)
so i can only connect via same network, what means that if i start the server using mobile internet i can't connect at all..
in all the youtube videos about the app i see that the IP start with 192 (192.*.*.*:8080)
so they can connect via mobile internet.
how can i ma ke my IP to start with 192 ??

I'd suggest that you go away and do some reading on the Internet (try using Google) about what an IP address is and how it relates to your device, network and everything else. Life is too short for me to try and explain all that to you.
Simply, however, the IP address must match your network.

ok... i know now that 192 and 10 are local IP's
so i change my question:
how can i connect to this webcam via a long distance computer??
like i run the server in my house and my friend from the other side of the city connect to it ?

Now you need to read up on TCP and UDP ports, find out which ports the webcam application uses and either set up a VPN to your network, or allow those ports through your Router/Firewall so other people can access the camera remotely.

ok i open the port 8080 to TCP/UDP
how can i set an VPN? hamachi will work?
if it will work? what IP i need to give to my friends ?

Setting up a VPN depends on what Router/Firewall etc you have, so I can't tell you. The IP you would need to give would by your External Internet address (the one your Router's WAN port uses) and you would need to either use NAT or Port-Forwarding to get the incoming packets to the IP Address of your phone.
Hamachi will not be any use as it doesn't have an Android client to run on your phone.
