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.
Can't be found in the FAQs for the standard Desire.

Sharing internet from PC to phone (via USB)

I have problem with my wifi connection (probably defected hw) and I just want to ask if there is any way to connect desire to notebook via USB and get connection from pc?
Thanks

Did you try installing the HTC Sync software?

Unfortunately, reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's Internet connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which quite frankly is very annoying. It would be nice if this type of feature, although highly unlikely, could be incorporated an upcoming ROM update for example.

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

Connect via USB with PC and download data

Hi,
I had a HTC Touch HD and i just bought a HTC Desire and i'm a noobie in this android stuff.
My question is:
How can i connect to my PC, not with HTCSync but with usb connection only to download data from my PC to my Desire. For example weather, mail account, watch videos from YouTube, etc.
Help me please...
Thanx

If you have it updated to Froyo, it should be no problem just to plug in the USB cable and
choose USB tethering. But why not use the built in WIFI tether, then you can use your
device as a WIFI hotspot, that any computer can connect to. ;-)

I have Android version 2.2 and i plug in the USB cable and choose USB tethering and i can't update weather or mail account or anything else.
What i have to do?
Thanx

[Q] connect to PC problem

When I connect my evo to my pc via usb it only charges the phone, it won' allow me to access my evos harddrive or sync or tether. Is there a simple setting that I'm missing? I'm not rooted and running GB 2.3.3. Sorry but I'm a noob and would appreciate some help.

try going into settings and look for the connection type. you can change it. its probably just set to charge only and not ask. Don't know where in settings exactly cuz i haven't rocked sense since...since...since....

Can it have anything to do with usb debugging being enabled or not?
