Wireless networks and mobile data - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know of a way to connect to a wireless network that has no internet access and continue to use your mobile data for internet access? It has to be possible if you can tether and make your phone an access point while also keeping your mobile data on. I tried to connect to my wireless network and configure a static IP address but it won't let you unless you enter a gateway address. I thought I could just do that as a workaround but nope..

On the Go VPN Connection when on WiFi

I have a WM6.1 phone (kaiser). I need to use a vpn connection whenever I am on WiFi in order to connect to the internet.
Is it possible to have a VPN connection that I can activate and deactivate on the go? Like on my laptop, I can just "dial" the vpn.
It is a PPTP type vpn.
Any references or insight is appreciated.

Sharing tethered internet connection

I live in the sticks and the evdo on my phone is the only high speed internet connection available.
I have no trouble using the ICS to tether to a computer. What I want to do is tether and then share that connection with other computers on the network. When I go to network connections and right click on the windows mobile internet sharing device icon and go through and choose to share the connection with other computers on the network it tells me that the ip address required for internet connection sharing is already in use.
I am guessing that it needs 192.168.0.1 for the network internet connection sharing to work, and that the phone (touch pro) is assigning it to itself when I start ICS.
Anybody have any idea how to make this work?
Thanks

Reverse tethering using laptops wifi and usb question

I have a GT-p3113 7.0 running 4.1.1 stock and rooted. I have been trying to connect to my laptops hotspot using wifi. I can create the connection and connect with an IP, however no shared internet. I used the CMD prompt to create the hostednetwork then share my lan connection.
> netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="name of connection" key="password"
Share the connection from setting in the control panel then start it up.
>netsh wlan start hostednetwork
I can connect with an assigned IP but no internet.
So... while I am "connected" I used the USB reverse tether app with the tunnel local app and connect to the internet. and yes I can no connect to Gplay and download from most app sites with no problem because I do have an active wifi connection... just not using it to get to the site..
Can't use https , not sure why yet. or if it is even possible.
But I would like to be able to use my wifi connection if at all possible... does anyone know a way to do this? I do not want to use Conectify as it tells me to unistall my vzaccess ( I can't ) I have a 4g wireless card for my laptop. also tried virtual router, same thing.. connects, gets ip, but no internet. Has anybody been able to get around this? or do you think it is just my work network. I want to use this when I travel an am in a hotel but don't want to carry around another piece of hardware for a hotspot.
Thanks

How can I share mobile data to connected wifi thru network bridge in Andoird 6.0

Hello Experts,
I am not a super expert but working on it on own interest basis.
My situation is,
I have one broadband connection thru ADSL+wireless router.
Normally my PC & other android devices at home are connected to wireless router of broadband.
Sometimes, this broadband connection fails for a couple of days.
I have one Android 6.0 mobile device which have unlimited data plan, but other android devices like mobile, Tabs does not have data connection.
During that time,
I create a hotspot & share to other wireless devices, but my PC does not connect until I connect thru USB tether.
Is it possible ??
To make a bridge in android 6.0 MM, between data connection & wi-fi ?? (I will connect it to wireless router with out hotspot), & set the DNS & gateway manually in the PC & wireless router.
What I have already done
Connected my mobile having data conn to win 10 PC with USB tether & PC is also connected to adsl router thru LAN.
Now,
I have checked the address of USB tether network IP (192.168.XX.XX), gateway (192.168.XX.XX) & DNS (192.168.XX.XX).
Then I created a bridge connection at PC between ADSL LAN & Tether Connection. Set above mentioned IP, gateway & DNS at created bridge connection.
Then I logged in into ADSL router,
Changed its IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.XX.XX ( matching with USB tether conn except last digit).
Then I connected all my android devices to ADSL router wireless network & manually set the DNS address to every network same as USB tether DNS.
profit :
Not much, But I am getting a strong wifi network signal from ADSL compared to mobile hotspot & all my devices connected to internet being at different places of home with different people.
My above query was to get rid of USB tether in this situation.
Thank you for reading all above & suggestions if any.

Yez and yes, search Hack5 in youtube and find the video relating to wifi pineapples( the bridge/router) and you will find everything you need , along with EasyTether pro(works fully tested to bypass tethering restrictions) . I dont know how the pineapple/router works but I know EasyTether uses adb to take and make a usb tethered connrection, then with a moderate-advanced setup(ie. wifi pineapple) you will be broadcasting wifi to any device you need. The only downside is you have to usb tethr to the pineapple at all timez to make a usable wifi,So in my opinikn best to buy anothr $45 a mnth plan especially 4 tethering, tho Im just now switching to a ISP for my internet it did the job, i even freelanced for awhile all remotely using the hotspot/created wifi/bridged connection.Hope that hellps brutha
Th
Tks...Bro...
I did it long before without spending a single penny.
I simply used network hack and bluffed the pc and other devices...It is working like charm....
