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!

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....
I need some help, as I'm kinda clueless with networking. I have an Ubuntu desktop connected to the same monitor my 360 is. I can connect to xbl a few different ways.
1. With the d-link wireless gaming adapter, set to adhoc mode, connected to my wifi tether.
2. USB/wifi tethering the desktop to my phone and sharing the internet connection with the Ethernet port where my Xbox is plugged in.
I've used, wifi tether for root users, barnacle (which supposedly allows port forwarding), built in USB and wifi tether (I'm on cm7 nightly with an HTC glacier)
I've managed to connect, but NAT is set to strict on all. Does anybody know how to change this? I don't know if there's a way to change this within the build.prop, or some other file?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated. I just have no other internet connection.

The lack of response really blows. I have the same exact issue and I cant fathom there not being a way around it . I'll keep looking and please let me know if you stumble upon something that works
The "nat type strict" we see on xbox live, from reading around allot deals with the bandwidth(speed) of your internet. If you use fast wifi, your nat type will be ok, but if someone goes on your wifi an use the internet, it's slower. The internet speeds we get from the cell towers is no where fast enough to change it.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Hi all,
So I got my new Sensation today. At work I managed to connect to the WIFI, but at home it is stuck to obtaining ip address.
When I look at my Belkin router I see that it gives it an address but it seems that the mobile still does not get it. I have a Belkin N1 router.
Basically I tried these solutions and nothing worked
1. Gave a static IP to phone but still without luck
2. Removed all security from Belkin router
3. Changed settings on router to accept only G connections
4. Restarted router
5. Changed channels
Unfortunately on router there is no option where I can specify which IP a specific MAC should be given.
Is there anyone who can help me???
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------
Setting static IP works, I forgot to include sub net mask.
Belkin support said that HTC and Belkin do not love each other and you need to set static ip. Such a shame.
i am not sure that this will work with every tethering service out there, but i am officially announcing that i have obtained an open NAT on XBL. For over a year now i have looked all over the internet trying to find a way to get my NAT open and finally i have done it. I did this by Internet connection sharing (via a ethernet "Crossover" cable fro PC to Xbox). Also i find that open garden works a helluva lot better than android wifi tether.
1. Enable wifi tethering on your device
2. Connect PC to wireless signal
3. Open Network and Sharing center (start/control panel/ network and internet/network and sharing center)
4. Click change adapter settings
5. Right click on your shared internet connection ( in this case should be your WIFI connection), select properties, sharing tab, check: Allow other network users to control or disable the shared internet connection.
6. Stay on the sharing tab and click settings, uncheck everything under settings, now click add:
Description of Service- Xbox1
Name or IP address of the computer hosting this service on your network: ( name of your comp )
External Port: TCP 53
Internal Port: TCP 53
Description of Service: Xbox 2
Name of IP address of the computer hosting this service on your network:
External Port: UDP 53
Internal Port: UDP 53
Description of Service: Xbox 3
Name of IP address of the computer hosting this service on your network:
External Port: UDP 88
Internal Port: UDP 88
Description of Service: Xbox 4
Name of IP address of the computer hosting this service on your network:
External Port: TCP 3074
Internal Port: TCP 3074
Description of Service: Xbox 5
Name of IP address of the computer hosting this service on your network:
External Port: UDP 3074
Internal Port: UDP 3074
follow these steps and i promise that you will get an open NAT
O....M...F....G!!!!!!!! I have been searching for this solution for HOURS!!!! And you my friend are an absolute GENIUS!!!! THANK YOU!!!! It worked like a mother flippin charm =). I ran into just a slight varience using Windows Vista (I know I know, its the only thing I have to work with other than 7 starter which sucks huge donkey balls lol) -
The computer didn't accept the setting for Xbox 5 (gave me an error message that 3074 was already in use even though it was set up as TCP). So I just left Xbox 5 out of the mix and can still confirm that I just got THE first successfully Nat error-free connection test my Xbox has ever seen.
THANK YOU!!!! =). I'd seriously kiss you if you were female and I weren't engaged lol
Well I'm glad this guide has finally been able to help someone..
P.S. your welcome

I don't have a cross over cable, but that shouldn't matter as I am setting up a network and giving each device it's own ip, etc.
I have my laptop and 360 connected via an Ethernet cable.
Well if your connecting straight from the 360 to the laptop, you will need a crossover cable but if your running through a hub/switch/router you can use a Ethernet cable

I tried using a router and it didn't work. Would I need any special settings in the router?

Also, when you select "sharing" with your wireless card, do you share it to your LAN card? Thanks!

crossover cable straight from comp to xbox
Do you set up any IP addresses then on the LAN for the laptop, or give the XBOX a IP? Or do you just leave it all defaulted?
thanks!
So I did everything you listed while using a cross-over cable and I am get a IP ADDRESS error. Any ideas?
EDIT:
Weird, it's working now, thanks! just restarted a bit and its working!
Now if only the phone app developers would fix this via their apps.

Just need to know this. If I don't set IP's to the LAN Card and XBOX 360 I get an IP address conflict. But when I do that, I still get moderate NAT.

What apps do work with this? How about the built in tethering app?
And do we need a crossover cable?

Cross over cable is required because your going from one device to another as the crossover cables are wired differently than an ethernet cable.
And i believe any tethering app works as long as you can get your PC to connect to it.

You can download a program called Connectify to create a hotspot from your PC. There are other software that do this as well, I find Connectify to be the best. Once you have made a personal hotspot/wifi from your PC and connected your phone to it, you can use an app such as AirDroid to remote control the pc. Instructions here.
Alternatively if you have a Bluetooth dongle, there are Bluetooth solutions available, such as - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.rozkovec.android&hl=en

Not sure why that is happening. However, there are some alternatives you can try to create your own wifi from the PC.
- Use a built in Windows feature by following these instructions
- Try one of these 8 free tools mentioned here which are alternatives to Connectify
