My PC is wired to my home network via an Ethernet connection. I do not have a WI-Fi connection on this PC.
I have installed, the Chromecast Windows 8 desktop app, but when I click on it, it searches for a wireless connection and returns a message that it can't find one.
I can connect to the device using either my Windows 8 laptop, or my Android tablet, but would also like to do this from my desktop PC, which is right next to the TV on which I have connected my Chromecast device.
Does anyone know if there are any plans to enable this, or is there a workaround to allow me to connect from this PC?

I was wondering if it is possible to WiFi tether with the GN10.1?
I tried connecting the tablet to my PC via USB, but the tether option did not show up in the settings like it does with my HTC Amaze.
It is for me...
I have wifi tethered my table to my phone and my PC. You need the right software or know how to use netsh to make your PC a wifi hotspot.
Are you trying to use the WiFi on your tablet to give your PC Internet access? Presumably meaning your PC does not have a WiFi adapter of its own.
You probably need to look for an app for that. And/or a driver for your PC so that it can recognize the tablet, when connected by USB, as a USB network adapter.

Thank you, that was exactly what i meant since my wifi adapter for my pc is on the fritz. will try searching for apps/drivers when i get home, Thanx
I am attempting to USB tether Internet access to a desktop with a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro. The process works flawlessly on my laptop, which already has WiFi Internet access and is running up-to-date Windows 8.1. There is no software or updates installed on the PC, aside from that which comes with Windows 8 Pro. Windows Defender/Firewall are disabled.
The PC does not recognize anything stored on the GS3, whether set as MTP, PTP, or neither, making it difficult to attempt transferring drivers. I have a UWF-1 wireless LAN adapter meant for Onkyo receivers, but it shows up as "UB93" with an exclamation mark in Device Manager. I've located potential drivers for the adapter, but I'm unable to transfer them from my laptop to the PC without the PC recognizing files stored on the GS3.
I have a single DVD-R I could use to transfer, but as it is the only method of transfer I have available, and I have single disc, I want to load it up with all potential fixes I can come up with before burning.
Any suggestions to get either USB tethering or the wireless LAN adapter functioning? or getting the PC to recognize files stored on the GS3?

I don't really know what you mean but yeah let's make the most out of it.
You can Thether your Wi-fi on your Android phone and then connect it using 2 USB cables or you can turn on 1 Android wi-fi hotspot and connect the 2 Computers to it.
You can also turn on 2 Android wi-fi hotspots because connecting 2 pc on 1 Hotspot will slow down your Internet connection.
Well it depends on what you want to do exactly, cause android phones dont really support this. You can tether your mobile data connection to one PC via USB and use it to have internet, but the only way you can actually really have 2 pcs see each other through an android phone is through the WiFi hotspot, so if your computers don't have a WiFi card, this wont work. And plugging one phone to a PC and the other to the other PC will only give you internet on both computers and that's it. If you truly want to have both PC comunicate with each other without WiFi, the only option that's viable and won't cost too much is buying a crossover ethernet cable (cable with the transmit and receive wires inverted on one end) and plugging it in both LAN cards. That way both PCs will see each other and you will be able to share files on them, and you can even plug one android phone on one of the PCs to give it internet and share the internet connection with the second PC though the LAN card and crossover cable. Other than that you can also buy either a switch or a router and plug both computers on it with normal ethernet cables, but that'll cost you a bit more than juste a crossover cable. Also, note than you can connect ur android phone on the router if it has WiFi built in, but you wont be able to share the internet connection via the router. You will also need to plug it with USB and share internet via the computer which has the phone plugged in. Hope this helps even if it wasn't quite what you're asking, but it's the only way to do what you want without having to go all out trying to create custom scripts and all and risk bricking your android phones just to connect 2 computers together when you can just take a normal ethernet cable u have lying around and hack it up to convert it to a crossover without spending a single dollar if you don't want to actually buy a new crossover cable which might cost like 5$.
actually i want to play multiplayer games, i have wifi router in my home, but no wifi cards in both the computers, is there any option to connect both the computers using andriod phones,, like computers connect to phones(via usb), phones to wifi router ?
First activate internet on ur pc with usb tetharing, and do same job in second pc then try to connect both pc with any type of FTP software

Where I'm staying right now, no Wifi or Wilan. My laptop doesn't support bluetooth. My Carrier gives me a service that allows me to watch live streming tv on phone, It doesn't allow me to connect it to TV or something. I have windows 7 on PC, and Android kit kat. Samsung galaxy s4.
I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to connect mobile to laptop using the normal USB cable. And stream the mobile app activity to laptop, so I could watch live streaming on my PC, then I'd use an HDMI cable to connect it to TV.
OK, not technically a question about android, I'm just trying to connect an android compatible device to a PC via bluetooth.
I have an ipega 9021 controller for android (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41O1ixqkGGL._SY300_.jpg), and was wondering if it's possible connecting it to PC properly.
I can connect the controller, but it doesn't reconnect automatically, so I have to delete the device and re-connect it every time.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I set it to gamepad mode (X + home), search for devices on PC, when the device is discovered, I got to properties and check the "drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (hid) and only then connect (otherwise I get an error). The controller then works great, but upon disconnecting I have to do the process again.
