Is it possible to browse folders on the PC which are setup as shared, using a router?
I can't find anything on the xda to browse networked pc.
i was wondering about that too. can you browse networked PCs via WiFi on the BA? can you browse the BA from another PC if it's on the network? i've tried making an ad-hoc connection between my BA and my pc using wifi. the seem to be connecting yet they can't see each other. i dunno if i've setup the wifi connection properly or not, but the BA is reporting that it is connected to the ad-hoc pc.

I have managed to connect my netbook for interent sharing using Bluetooth.
I want to be able to also use the USB connection.
When I try to load internet sharing it says I need to turn bluetooth on to share the internet connection.
I had a choice between USB and bluetooth internet sharing with my xperia. How come not with TP2?
Is there any way I can transfer a file from my desire on froyo to my netbook, without usb cable or wireless router? I was thinking maybe it could be done through hotspot somehow.
What about Dropbox?
But the file is over 100mb. So yes I could upload it to dropbox and then tether my laptop and download it. But it would be a painfully long task. What's adhoc? Is that what I need? Can that be done on the desire?
doesn't your netbook have a card reader? or you can use Bluetooth but it's drain your battery really really quickly.
Try the free app called connectify (be sure to get the latest version) . It will make your notebook as a hotspot and you can connect to it va wifi from your phone. Then you can use one of the numerous wifi file transfer programs to transfer files.
Connect with wireless tether.
Install adb over wifi on phone.
adb connect 192.168.43.1
adb pull /sdcard/file.xxx
Or
Connect with wireless tether
Use filemanager on phone to browse to windows share, then copy from phone.
Or
Create a samba share on your phone and browse to it from PC.
I've not tried filesharing over hotspot on windows but I don't see why it wont work as long as you add it as a trusted network and have sharing on.
Hello everyone!
My phone: AT&T Tilt 2 running most recent Simplicity rom
I hope someone can help me figure this out. Essentially I was wondering if it is possible to to use the "Wi-Fi Router" app in the comm manager to create a wifi hot spot using the internet connection from connecting my phone to my PC via USB and activesync.
Sorry if thats confusing, I'll map it out:
Cable modem----Ethernet on Desktop---Activesync---connects to my Tilt 2 via USB---Wifi Router App using the connection from activesync
When I run the Wifi Router app I can only choose from ATT ISP GPRS and Media Net as the internet connection source, but I want to know if its possible to just use the internet connection from being directly connected to my PC in order to create the hotspot.
I would just use a router but it broke and I don't know when I'll get another one. Thanks!
Hello!
I have installed RCMix HD rom, with new Sense, and i have option for Internet Pass-Through. I am wondering, if it is possible, to use on phone internet connection from PC via Internet Pass-Through, and in settings turn on Portable WiFi Hotspot, that will let me to connect to internet on another laptop? I tried this, but i doesn't have internet on laptop...
And, is this possible anyway?
The way the internet sharing works with the Desire is that it acts like a modem which then shares the internet with a PC. You can't do it the other way around, sharing internet from your PC to your phone, just phone to PC.
You can use your computers internet via internet pass through, I know because I've tried it, but you can't use the computer internet for hotspot, I tried that too

@damo : bro can u tell me how u did it???m using windows 7 but cant seem to get it work on the phone....everything is getting connected but no show on the phone....
is there any particular setting u need to do???
as a thought - what about if you made an adhoc connection from laptop and shared internet with that connection...?
just a thought- completely untested..
just remember when I had a machine set up with a crossover and shared wifi from laptop to PC and wondered if you could do something similar with an adhoc wifi connection...
You can't share the internet connection used from a pass through connection. The reason is that it uses the same framework for both pass through connections and Portable Hotspot. Would be cool if it could be done, but with Windows XP and above you setup an AdHoc Wifi connection which will allow you to connect one device and share and internet connection.
This may have been asked before. I am curious if it is possible to connect to an internet connection sharing device (laptop, desktop), and use that particular connection for internet based access on a samsung galaxy S3. I know that you can reverse tether to allow the PC to connect to the phone for internet. That's not what I'm looking for. I have a laptop that I want to be able to connect to from the phone to the WIFI connection, and access the internet via the shared LAN connection that I have on the laptop.

Internet Connection Sharing on your Wifi, set it to Ad-Hoc so it broadcasts a signal. My laptop has Intel MyFi so that part's done automatically (I can be both connected wirelessly and share my connection) but setting it this way should work.

Doesn't show up on the phone. Is there something I need to do to allow it to see ad-hoc networks?
