Looking for a little help. I'm a noob at best and I'm looking to replace my Win 7 laptop running Putty through a usb dongle to a 9 pin RS232 to the serial management ports on Sun servers. Does anyone know of a telnet app that will work on the G-TAB Vegan 5.1 that allows me to use the serial port dongle with my G-Tablet?
Can I have a rooted device running on a custom ROM. It supports host USB. Can I run a mobile wireless USB stick through the USB port and get internet? I was hoping to hook it up to my tablet and have a mobile hotspot everywhere I go by tethering the connection to my other devices via WiFi.
Thanks for all the help!
I recently purchased the Lenovo S6000L tablet for the purpose of traveling. I wanted a large screen (10.1) tablet that could do the basic functions of a laptop, without having to lug around my 17.3 inch HP laptop to and from work/etc. My issue is, I work for a company that will not allow us to access their WiFi (security reasons), but we can use any LAN. I purchased an OTG cable and a USB to Ethernet converter. To my surprise, my Lenovo tablet wouldn't recognize the converter, thus, not allowing me to access the internet via the OTG cable. After that failure, I decided to root my tablet, which I did. Even with the root I can't seem to tweak the tablet to allow the internet connection bridge to work. Being P/O, I decided to go a step further by flashing a custom ROM to the tablet in hope that a different ROM would read and react to the OTG setup, but I'm unable to find a ROM that would work. Well their you have it, this is my big issue. Even though those are the steps I've taken or are willing to take, doesn't mean It's the only thing I'm looking to do, I'm open to anything that will work. So I desperately ask, does anyone have or know of a solution for me to use a RJ45 ethernet cable on this S6000L Lenovo tablet?
P.S. I've hooked up the USB to Ethernet to my PC and it worked, so it's not faulty. I've hooked up a flash drive to my tablet via the OTG cable and that worked also, so the OTG cable works as well.

you cannot use like that because to use internet from other device to android you must use reverse tethering method and it can be done only from connecting it to a laptop or pc
so yyou cant use internet directly from lan cable to your tab
I don't want to use it from another device.

I'm not using it from another device, I'm only using it and want to use it from a router and/or directly from a modem. I only hooked the adapter to my laptop once just to verify the adapter was working.

yes i understood your question
i said there is no way to use internet in tab from lan cable
The Nexus 7 tablet does it.

Corrections for the above reply: I misread your reply. In theory, reverse tethering is the same method. A source that contains internet(PC) that you bridge to your tablet and gives it internet. The Nexus 7 is one tablet that allows you to bridge a RJ45 to the tablet for LAN access, and their are others. My best guess is it's an software issue that Lenovo has blocked, but I'm looking for a way around it. I don't know if they added anything specific to the stock that is killing that use or is it just that the adapter I purchased isn't compatible with what I believe is Linux based software. As I said, I will travel any path to victory, even if I have to flash software that's used on the Nexus 7, if possible.
Sorry for the delay, I'm at work and people keep coming to me.
Houston, I believe I have a solution to my problem!!
I have no clue why I didn't think about it earlier but all it may take to remedy my issue can be spelled with one word, Portable Wireless Router. Ok, that's 3 words, but who cares! I don't. Whenever I'm in a situation where LAN is available but WLAN isn't, I figure all I would have to do is to plug the LAN into my soon to be purchased TP-LINK TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router. And BOOM! my own private WiFi hotspot.
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?
Hi guys. I'm getting stuck with this problem. I don't have a good house network (my isp is terrible) so I started using my Smartphone (huawei nova 5t) to play with my xbox on online games. Until now i've been using the Hotspot (wifi),but it's instable and it pings a lot. So I was wondering how could I use a cable to use my LTE connection on my xbox via ETHERNET using the USB Thetering . I bought from amazon an adapter that's Type C-Ethernet. It's a really good one,but when I plug it to my phone,my Huawei doesn't let me use the USB thetering,I can't activate it. So I was asking if there is a way,an external app or something that could make me do that. My idea is LTE---> Otg Type C Ethernet---> Xbox one. I found nothing on the internet about this,all the threads are about using that OTG to connect my phone to a router and using the router internet,and it works perfectly that way,but I wanna use the cable in the opposite way. I wanna share my smartphone connection with my xbox. Can I do that with that otg or it's just impossible..? Thanks forward.
Hi there. I need the same thing! Sorry to bump late but at least there's only 2 of us.
I think it's called
REVERSED TETHERING via an ETHERNET dongle. (or HOST mode?)
It should be technically possible because ethernet dongles are supported by a lot of ROMs but this function is usually going in the other direction.
Tetrd is another useful search term.
Did you get further with this since you last posted this?

If you can put a windows device between the set up, you can use the program Connectify to make your windows machine a router and choose the ethernet out and plug it into the xbox. And then usb tether the phone into the computer. Connecitfy works with speedify too so if you have multiple hotspots you can bond them together and get a more reliable connection.
Or, I suppose, a Raspberry Pi
