Dear All,
I am currently using a Windows Vista based laptop with a Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN wireless card in it with updated drivers. Now whenever I try connect using connectify to make a wireless hotspot it does create a hotspot, but on my android handset I can't find any wifi network in range. Pls suggest a way to reverse tether my phone with my pc without the need of rooting the phone. I am currently using a Android v4.0.I am using internet through a USB Data Card.
Thanx All.

your going to have to root it to be able to tether pc to your phone or phone to pc.
use "pda net+" for usb theathring wifi hot spot as wel as bluetooth theathring.
There's another app called FoxFi that claims to handle wifi tether w/out root. But I've never used it ,and i'm not sure if it works to tether in either direction, but worth a quick look .... (can't post a link cuz i'm not >10 posts yet)

Anyone know of an app that allows you to use your phone as a wifi card via USB? I don't have one for my laptop and i need to get on my LAN for some file transfers.

iam also looking for something like this... just like tethering but instead of mobile data use some wlan
PDANet allows you to share the Wifi connection of your phone through USB.

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

Yes, I explain how to in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133576
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
hey all!!

Did you even bother to read the original post?
We all know we can use the desktop wifi to connect our mobiles.
hi all,
i have a optimus one, am from india, vodafone connection. I want to use optimus one as modem for my pc, i called up vodafone customer care people and they told me the settings for LGE usb modem. Even after try many times, i am still not able to connect to internet. Its giving "unable to connect to remote host".
I told this issue to vodafone customer care team, but they were saying that there is some issue with using android mobiles as modem for pc.
has anyone here successfully connected internet to PC using android device?

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.
I have a Sony xperia u and pc rumning on windows seven with pppoe connnection on it. I want to connect the.connection on pc to muy mobile usong wifI I dont have any wireleas routers or any WiFi card currently. All I want to know is what to buy and how to connect it with my mob:mobile.
The shsorter version of my question is
Can I acess my pc internet on my mobile using WiFi USB dongle and what are the other ways to browse internet on my mobile using WiFi?
Thank you
No, I don't think you can do it with a USB wifi dongle (more importantly, why would you get one if you don't even have a wireless router?).
You're going to have to get a router that serves as a client to your pppoe, which will share the connection to your PC and your phone. You can buy a router that supports DD-WRT or Tomato (there are lots of cheap options here). Or just buy one that supports that functionality out of the box.
yes of course!!
u can do that man..
just buy a usb wifi dongle..
and install connectify
that software will make ur laptop as a router, so u can share ur laptop internet connection to other device
search using google "Connectify 3.4 crack download"
thanks for the replies guys
bought asus rt n10
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 :

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?
