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 was playing around with the laptop and pda and setup a ad-hoc connection (device to device) i don't have a wireless router but i was wondering if anyone has managed to get the internet wireless on the laptop wen the pda is docked using ad-hoc connection for my laptop.
So i want to use the pda as my router getting internet from the pc and send the internet connection to the laptop wireless.
thanks.
There are 2 ways for using internet through WIFI in your blueangel
1. ActiveSync through WIFI (works only in WM2003SE and ActiveSync 3.8 or earlyer)
2. AdHoc plus Internet Connection Sharing (works if your proviced does not limit your connection for sharing)
Could you guide through the steps to share the internet connection please?
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.
Hi I'm trying to connect my laptop to the Internet over Wi-Fi using my Nexus 5X as the hotspot.
When it connects to the Wi-Fi network it says the connection is limited when I check the Wi-Fi status in windows it shows packets being sent but nothing being received?
I've tried restarting both my laptop & 5X still the same issue.
