Any app out there to get internet from your PC? Opposite of phone tethering?

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

Did you even bother to read the original post?
We all know we can use the desktop wifi to connect our mobiles.

[Q] solved - connect with wifi dongle to pc internet connection

Do you mean you want your phone to share its internet via wifi tethering?

no, i mean access internet from pc, via wireless usb dongle

Might want to be a bit more specific there. From what you're saying, it sounds like you're trying to do what bedalus said.
If what you mean is that you want to access your wired internet service wirelessly to your phone, you're going to need to pick up a wireless router or something.

The second part is true, i want to access the wired internet service and i have an wireless usb dongle(adaptor), also i want to share files with pc wireless.

What PS do u have? With Windows 7 you can create an ad-hoc under network sharing center -> set Up a Connection or Network -> Set up a wireless ad hockey (computer-to-computer) network. Then you can just follow the instructions on the pc

i created an adhoc connection, but the phone don't see it, also i read that that nexus s cannot do adhoc connections, it is true?

Yes you are right. Nexus s does not support ad hoc. I am sorry, I did not know that. This is weird even iDevices support it.
You can try ZT180 adhoc switcher from the market. But I cannot guarantee it will work. Because I have not tried it by myself.
Another option is using Connectify from windows 7 PC. I don't know about apple PCs. But connectify can turn your windows 7 PC into a real access point router. Not just a ad-hoc.
Well the last option is get a wifi router. What internet do you use? I am sure you can have a wifi router for all internet connections. NO matter you have ADSL, Broadband(Ethernet? I don't really know how to call it) even 3g or 4g connection can be wifi-routered! You just need to pick a correct device since NS does not support ad-hoc.

Under "Password" field in Connectify , you have an option "Internet". There you can select your internet connection to share. Hope that works!

I mean i select the win7 default connection " Local Area Connection", and set it to shared, but the Connectify connection (access point) doesn't have network access, i don't know why, i tried almost 10 times, it just doesn't work.

Update: I think i solved it, i just turn off the firewall of ESET and windows, and it works fine, thank u guys

[Q] how to connect internet on mobile using wifi

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

[Q] WiFi Hotspot

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)

Anyway to get a wireless hot spot from my galaxy s7 via metropcs?

Im trying to get some internet to my laptop via ,my phone as my jobs internet only works with the devices they own.
Im using a galaxy s7(unrooted) with metropcs, ive tried pdanet+ but its unreliable as it keeps gettong usb fails and disconnects. any other suggestions?

Thanks but this does not answer my issue, I don't want the MetroPCS knowing how much i use due to them limiting my data after i use up the mobile hotspot.

When you use your Galaxy phone as a mobile hotspot, all the other devices accessing the Internet through it use your mobile data plan. That is the way it is.

This i know but there are ways of bypassing your carrier from detecting how much data you use on your hotspot.
i want to know how to bypass so i don't hit data limits
