Hello everyone! First time poster here.
I've been looking for solutions all over and i can't seem to find one...
Internet at home is down and I'm tethering on my phone (tilt2 energy rom w/ att). Tethering works fine but i have to disconnect from the LAN to make it work.
Tethering internet creates another connection independent from the LAN.
I am using windows 7 and i'm wondering if there's any way i can tether internet on my phone and be connected to the LAN at home?

You could tether via Wifi or Bluetooth instead of USB.
thank you! that did it
Hi everybody, is there any possibility to use Samsung's technology called 'Wi-Fi Direct' on DHD? Or is there any alternatives for DHD (seems to me very useful feature because sharing Wi-Fi at home from laptop)
I am confused... What do you mean by WiFi direct? DHD has already a WiFi hotspot capabilities and usb tethering for internet sharing. All u need is to root your dhd or install a custom ROM and it will be enabled.
Hope that helps.

Well i think what the OP is talking about is ability to share files using Wifi between two devices like Samsung Galaxy S devices can. Its essentially similar to bluetooth but lot faster.
Sup guys is it possible to turn my fone into a WiFi adapter so I can connect to my home internet connection via pc my wifi adapter broke yesterday when I shut the door on it

Yes it is.
Menu> Settings> More> Portable hotspot & tethering
Here you can either choose to set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot so your PC can connect wirelessly to your phone and use it’s 3G for internet connection.
Or you can use USB tethering to achieve the same internet connection but using a cable instead of WiFi. Personally I’ve had more success with this one, as I have found the WiFi Hotspot function to be very hit-and-miss.
You may find that after prolonged inactivity on the connection, it stops working and you have to stop and then re-start USB tethering for it to work. Keep the data flowing though and it seems to work just fine. Obviously take into account your 3G data plan. If you are on a unlimited plan then you are laughing.
Don’t shut your phone in a door!
Lol not teathering via mobile network I'm talking about a pc WiFi dongle adapter which I use on my pc to connect to my home boardband so I can receive full speed connection I'l post a link when I get home with a screenshot so you understand a little better thanks anyway

ok this is what im trying to do but not sure if its possible see screenshot
Answer is No. Android does not allow ad-hoc connections.
HTC does allow you to use internet through usb connection but cant share that out over wifi.
Why not just connect ps3 directly to the router?

Woah! Yeah definitely misinterpreted what you meant!
Looks like you need to fish out your ethernet cable!

Hi there,
I have my HTC for about 5 days now and i was wondering,if you can save 2 or more different wi-fi locations.
Let me explain,
I have a wi-fi router at my home where i connect with my phone, but there is a problem,whenever i shutdown the wi-fi on or off from
my HTC and after i have connected to my password protected router all is good,the settings are saved.
But if i choose to disconnect my connection with my router first through the HTC of course and then turn the wi-fi to Off
the next time i try to connect to my wi-fi router it asks me the password again.
Why is this happening? What if i want to disconnect from my home connection and when i'll go to work
connect to my office wi-fi router without asking me this time the password for my office wifi network which i had filled in a day before...
Can somebody tell me what am i doing wrong?Why HTC doesn't keep the wi-fi passwords from my home and office wi-fi routers?
Thank you in advance,
Dinos
Why are you disconnecting the connection from the router... Just switch the router off or wifi on the phone off or just walk out of its range...
Or have I read that wrong?

Hi
Are you disconnecting from your connection first? If so that is the problem you are asking your phone to forget the WiFi connection.
You don't have to disconnect just leave it, your phone will disconnect and connect to your business one.

agree to the posts above and ofcourse if you disconnect and leave wifi on: while you are travelling the wifi will constantly search for a wifi which will drain your battery even faster.
Thank you !!!
Thank you very much for your kind help to all of you, you have been very helpful,
i have been doing it all wrong from the start,but not anymore thanks to all of you who helped me
Much obliged,
Dinos:good:
Good point about turning off the WiFi. I use tasked to disable based on phone conditions such as being connected to my car Bluetooth and which net location I am in.

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there's a way to take the Internet connection from a PC via usb, and then make a wifi Hotspot so I could share that connection to tablet, laptop, etc.
Thanks in advance!

I think that that setup won't work, why don't you buy usb wireless or router....it's cheap....
