Share internet from laptop to HTC Desire.

Just wondering if its possible to share my internet connection from my laptop to HTC Desire.
Like use my laptop as an access point and share wired connection using Laptop Wi-Fi as i've seen thr are apps for iphone for that.

if your laptop is connected via cable and u have windows (perhaps mac or linux work as well, don know) use ICS http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/

I'm affraid that it is only possible with Windows 7. HTC Desire won't find ad-hoc wifi connection.
If you have Windows 7 installed, try connectify.
Works like charm.
Of course you can try with WiFi router as well.

i wonder if its possible over bluetooth? i dont have wifi so its my only option ;D

if you have a mac, you can do it with the sharing-preferences.

Saw this link...
Use HTC Sync
"After you have installed HTC Sync successfully, please connect the handset to the computer via USB cable then drag the status bar down from the top of the screen. Choose Internet pass-through as the connection type. The handset will now be able to access the internet through the computer's connection."
Hope this helps

Nope, this only applies to the new Desire HD.

Is there a way to do it ?

Search Google for the Connectify application and it will allow you to achieve the same thing.

Thank you but I can't use wireless (security breach... @work -_-) I need a usb stuff.
Thank you

Sounds Intresting,
What you asking for if i am correct is an application that would provide your Phone with an Internet Connection via a USB from your PC
(and your PC having the internet connection)

Exactly what I need...
Like Microsoft ActiveSync provide for WM phones

What you are wanting is reverse tethering.
You could maybe try connecting to the desire to an ad-hoc wi-fi network, check this link:

You will need to root the phone, install iwconfig from the wifi-tether application, disable wifi, reload the kernel module, set parameters with iwconfig and ifconfig / dhcp and that should work.

USB Tethering !

Hi
Can anyone advise if / how I can tether my HTC Desire with my Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook ?
I'd like to share my O2 3G with my netbook.. can this be done. ?
Thanks

USB Tethering on netbook 10.04tls
Hi,
Yeah!, this can be done, just plug the supplied USB cable into the netbook and the other end into your Desire, Press "Internet Sharing" when prompted, the netbook will now automatically see the internet connection.
hope this helps.

Its so easy that I missed it first and have to google it

[Q] Sharing internet via HTC Desire?

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.
