LAN on Android 2.3? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I use my hostel lan to access internet from my notebook using a regular cat5e cable using a proxy address.
Problem is, when i use my laptop as a wifi hotspot, my phone reads the signals, but is unable to avail the internet facilities.
I have a motorola defy plus running gingerbread, unrooted.
Is it because of the proxy? Can anyone suggest anything to overcome this issue?
Thanks in advance

[Resolved] [Q] Android: Remote Access: WiFi Router.

Hi,
I have been using GMote and droid VNC server on mobile for sometime. All this time, since I had one PC, I used my PC to setup a portable AP and connected my mobile with it.
Now, I switched to using DLink DSL-2640B WiFi router and since then am having issues with the remote apps. They don't work or they just work and disconnect quickly. What is wrong?
Am sure it's not about port forwarding or port triggers since I can connect. It's like the connection is very unstable although I have good signal. Does it have something to do with QoS? Anybody? Any ideas?

I don't understand...you are basically using your Blackberry/laptop configuration to make a mobile hotspot, right? If the Xoom can access the wifi signal for one app it should be able to for any app. Maybe I'm missing something. Can you give more explanation?

I connected my blackberry bold which has 3g to my laptop which broadcasts the connection via wifi. The chrome browser and android market and other goodies apps connect but installed apps don't connect. Plus I recently bought a huawei e5 mobile 3g wireless router. I got my xoom connected to the network but right now only the browser goes online,. The other apps just do not. I don't know what other piece of detail I can give other than the fact that my Xoom wifi is not connecting to 3g networks broadcast via wifi. Any ideas?
This is really very strange... I switched my 3G-Xoom into flight mode and then activated WiFi (so it basically behaves like a WiFi-only Version) and connected it to my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S) and all apps are able to access the internet. Connecting ist to a UMTS-Router (Option GlobeSurf) also worked like a charm...
Did you try to connect your Xoom to a WiFi-Router at home (= Internet access via cable not UMTS)? Does this work or do you encounter the same probs?

AirDroid Help

Hey Guys,
I been having trouble to connect the AirDroid App.
I'm using tethering Connection to my laptop, and prioritized it to lv 3, since I need to use the Ethernet and VPN for Work.
I tried ping the gateway and the AirDroid address which is the gateway (phone) and port, and it won't answer.
Any ideas?

did you tried AirDroid official website. Here is the link http://airdroid.com/userguide.html
I'm using X10S ROM which is 2.3.4.
Yes I did tried the guide, but many people are also having trouble to ping the device. I noticed that on the routing table for the device I didn't see the network, though don't know how the tethering works on android, in network terms I mean.
So I was playing around and turned off the VPN and it worked... but I need the VPN as Main gateway, any ideas on how to make that, so it won't use my phone's internet, so it uses the VPN and it wouln't block my phone's network?

VPN + bluetooth tethering + Android tablet + Android mobile phone

I've been able to use Wifi Tethering (from Google Play) (version 2.0.7) to successfully connect a Motorola Xoom to my HTC One X mobile via bluetooth. However, when I connect to my VPN service with my mobile, I no longer have active internet access with the Xoom. The bluetooth connection is still active but when I try to surf the internet the browser just hangs and then errors out. I was wondering if there was something I could do with the DNS settings with the VPN service or IP routing on the mobile to fix this issue.
Can anyone provide a little direction on where to begin troubleshooting this issue? I've Google'd this issue to death for the past four hours and have had zero luck finding anything regarding VPN's and bluetooth tethering. I have found similar issues with WiFi tethering but I believe that protocol works differently. I could be wrong though!
I've tried to follow some of the WiFi routing tips to route VPN traffic from the bluetooth connection but to no avail. Has anyone successfully done this? I would imagine it would be possible even though Android was not specifically set up to do this in the first place.

[Q] No internet access while using an Ipsec VPN

Hello,
I'm not having much luck accessing the internet while my VPN is turned on. It's just a simple mesh network from logmein and I like it because I can ssh in to my raspberry pi to turn my PC on without opening up ports on my home network.
Let me know if any one else has had this problem/ they know a solution. Personally, i've never had any trouble on my Nexus 7, or my Galaxy Nexus with using the internet while staying connected to my VPN but both of those are using stock versions of android also.
Thanks in advanced.
