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.

How to connect internet through "PC INTERNET" with my phone?

Normally as you all know that , we can connect internet via phone's internet. It's called teethering.
The thing that i want is different. I want to learn how can i connect internet from mobile with the connection of my PC ?
Because sometimes , in some places there is no wireless connectin, only ethernet connection. So i want to use in this time.
I will appriciate for your comments

Search Google for an application called "Connectify" it will let you achieve what you want (i.e. reverse tethering).

new to defy, tethering?

I've just bought a defy, but i can't get tethering to work. When i select tethering in the options and connect to my pc i cannot connec to the internet as i cannot find the connection. On m old sony ericcson phone this could be done via the sony ericcson software but so far i have been unable to find anything like that for the defy.
I have a laptop with windows xp and a desktop with windows7.

what exacly are you trying.?
connecting the internet from your pc by your phone, or from your phone by pc.?
wifi tehering are actualy used to connect your pc/notebook to internet using the 3G Internet-Connection from the phone.

the other way is, to create a adhoc network (share internet-connection) on your pc.

hope it helps.

I use easytether, free from the market, to connect my debian laptop to the internet with no problems.

What im trying to do is connect my phone to a P.C and then use the Defy's 3G internet connection on my P.C.
Theres an option in the phones settings labelled as Internet tethering, this says "Share your phones Internet connection over USB & Bluetooth."
When ticked it says something about choosing your phone from a list of network services in your computers network settings.
and that is as far as i can get.

Does the computer in question have wi-fi?
Because, if so, the mobile hotspot functionality might be easier to implement.

Easytether works great for me. Get the app on market, works for unrooted too.

[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.

How to setup a computer to work with that app?
I'm very basic about WiFi things.
Help me.

Install the app on your phone, when you open it, it will set itself up and give you an HTTP:// address to put in your browser. Then you have access to your SD card through your web browser

+1 on that app. Using it, too. Easy as can be.

Please Explain More.
It does not setup itself.

Connect to your wifi network. Run app. In your browser type the adress given by the app. done.

How to setup a WiFI Network on my computer?
I'm using XP.

Google.
2. You do not connect directly to your PC, the app uses a WiFI AP (your router).
So PC & phone connected to the router, and it's done.

Also make sure your phone is connected to your wifi

One Doubt:
is Internet Connection need to setup a WiFi Network on computer?

No. Not needed.

One times all Worked well.
Then i connected for second time,It saying "Obtainig Ip Address."
What problem?
First i connected using this settings.
Ad-Hoc
Frequency Band:Forgot.
Ch:10
Frequency Band what should i use?
802.11g
or
802.11b

hi, use 802.11b, i think desire'wifi can't support 802.11g

Supports b/g. Patch and custom kernel needed for n.

Download this app from Market: websharing.

Thanks to all.
Now all working well.
Using File Expert(free version).
