Does anyone know if I can connect my laptop to internet via my phone, T-zone internet, by using Internet sharing? I failed to do this. Can someone give me an instruction? thanks
hey buddy, you need to have data connection on, when you connect your phone via usb and internet sharing enable. Make sure you have tmo's proxy configured in your T-Mobile Data Connection.
Work with phone but Laptop
Yes my phone is able to connect to internet by itself, Tzone with proxy setup, but I would like to go to internet by using my laptop and use the phone as modem by running internet sharing program but It failed to connect.
what you are asking about is turning your laptop into a hotspot and connecting to the internet using the wifi not regular nework. is that it

you need to connect the phone to your computer via bluetooth and your computer will see the phone as a modem then setup the a new connection with the phone and voila.
I am using usb cable to connect it. I am running NBD 8.2.
not sure how to make it work on the cable but with 8.2 you should be able to connect the phone to the PC and turn on dialup networking via serial port over bluetooth

I never tried this before. I will try it tonight.
You have to set up the same proxy server in your web browser on your laptop as the one you have set up for the t-mobile internet on your phone.
Not sure really if its different for T-Mobile or not but i'm with Cingular and I use my wizard as my primary internet source for my desktop. Connect your phone via USB, let AS connect, then turn on internet sharing. It'll disconnect AS and display on internet sharing if its connected or not. Hopefully this helps.

Work great. thanks
No problem, glad I could help. I figured that out a few weeks ago the day after I got back from a business trip where I stayed in hotel that didn't have an internet connection and no wifi spots anywhere close. Wish I had thought to try that sooner.
is there any .cab file i can get for that?
the thing is that i dont have internet in my house (desktop) and i would like to use my t-mobile wing to pick up signals, or other networks so i can connect my pc to the internet.
my cousin has this little lynksys* usb thing and he picks up signals from his window and technically he has free internet.
i had the little lynksys* usb thingy oo but it didnt pick up any signal. and if i use the internet sharing it from t mobile it sucks because the internet on my phone its slooooooow.
can someone please help me? thank you
?
Hello, i heard about a program that works as usb modem to connect a laptop an use EVDO on the phone as it would just navigate the net on the phone, but it's the laptop, just to do not really use the modem fuction witch is really expensive. I know it exist for Blackberries, but i am searching for my Touch Pro. Thanx in advance!
Hope it's this
It's called "WMWifiRouter", extracto from their page:
"WMWifiRouter instantly turns your wifi enabled smartphone* into a wireless internet hotspot. Now you can use your laptop and any other device with wifi to get online and surf, email, instant message, and anything else you normally use the internet for! "
google it, i really recomend it. you can use your 3g net, or the edge or gprs or any data conection your service provider gives you... or even the wifi conection if you laptop or pc doesn't have a modem.... just run the software and connect it to the pc, i'll be detected as a modem with internet conection...
hope this helped
Thanx!
I used to tried WMWIFIrouter beta a couple of years ago. I will give it a try. Is this app connects a laptop and use data as if WM was browsing the web, or as a modem?
Hi guys Ive looked around and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. I come from wm6.5 omnia and I used to be able use the phone to give wifi to my pc. I dont have a wifi card for my computer but I was able to get wifi on my omnia and give my pc internet through usb. I know we can use the evos network to give the pc internet but can we use the wifi connection the evo gets instead? any prgrams that do that.
I just turn wifi on on the phone, and it works automatically when I plug in the phone. Just set it to internet sharing.
thanks bro i wasnt kissing keeping it simple haha that was easy lol
Yea, I can't lie. I was surprised how easy it was when I first did it myself.
Read lots of forum posts but they all seem quite old so hoping this is possible. Created a network on my macbook and need to get the s8 to connect to it but it doesnt show under wifi networks. Installed wifi analyser and shows the adhoc connection but says android doesnt support them. Tried also writing a static ip but didnt work and im not sure if im missing something as have been trying stuff for few hours now.
Could someone 100% confirm that it isnt possible and if rooting would definitly enable that functionality. I just need my s8 to connect to the same wifi network as the laptop so i can run rekordbox and sync my music libraries. I dont have bband or a router so joining an adhoc wifi connection is the only way it will work.
Any light shed is much appreciated
