[Q] "Internet pass-through" fails connecting to the internet

Hi All, new here
I keep getting "Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate.Try again later" error when trying to connect to my home PC through "Internet pass-through". "Internet pass-through" seems to connect fine to the PC, but then fails to connect to the internet through it, even if the Symantec Firewall is totally off.
On the other hand, no such problem when connecting through "Internet pass-through" to my work PC. The phone connects to the PC and Internet with no problem.
I guess the differences are because of a different internet connection type in work and home. Not sure what the connection type at work, but my PC at home uses a VPN dial-up of type "L2TP IPSec VPN".
Is there anything I should configure in this connection to be able to connect to the internet?
Current OS is Android 2.2.1, stock ROM, no tweaks.
Hope to get more information here than in the "General" forum.

[SOLVED] by Microsoft TCP/IP fix
I've downloaded the following TCP/IP fix from Microsoft, installed it on my Windows XP SP3, restarted my PC, connected my DHD, and that's it - "Internet pass-through" is now connecting successfully! with no additional configurations.

[Q] Xperia arc s to pc companion via wifi not working

Hi, I've recently purchased an Arc s, excellant phone, but can't seem to connect to my pc (using pc companion) via my wifi router.
The phone is not modded in any way, it connects to the router and the internet perfectly fine, just can't get pc companion to connect.
It connects fine via usb, when I'm following the instructions, i can get my pc to show up on the phone as a trusted device, but then it gets stuck in a connecting loop, the phone shows as connection, and on pc companion it says it will go to the last step automatically.
I have had the occasional connection problem to the internet via wifi, but think I've solved them now. The connection to the pc has never worked.
Any pointers would be great, as my partner also has a Neo, but I thought it best to get mine working first
Also pc is running windows 7 home premium x64, Router is a Netgear WNR2000v2 and is connected to my pc via ethernet cable
Many thanks
P.s I've also had trouble setting up a ftp network. Dont know of they could point to some thing. I've followed guides but to no avail.

[Q] Can't connect to connectify/adhoc wifi network?

Just got an htc one x, it was on a stock ICS ROM. I tried connecting to my laptops wifi by making a connectify hotspot. It sees the connection but gets stuck on authenticating/obtaining an ip address. Doesn't go any further than that! or sometimes rescans and then the same loop.
I also tried making a hotspot manually, by the command "netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid=htc key=......" etc, same thing it sees the connection tries to connect to it but gets stuck on the same thing like i mentioned above.
Then i installed a couple of custom roms, namely maXimus and cm10.1 endeavor unleashed. Same thing on both the roms, neither connectify nor manually created hotspots work. It sees the connection, tries to connect to it, but they all get stuck at the same point. Although it can connect to my neighbor's wifi router fine! ...just the laptop hotspots don't work!
I am using a windows 8 laptop by the way, but i do have the latest htc sync and drivers installed, and the device gets detected fine obviously as i am able to flash recoveries, firmwares stuff etc.
Help me out here guys!?

bump..........

I have the same problem. When I used custom rom (AICP 8.0) it worked well but now it doesn't work for the factory rom.

[Q] "Unable to connect" using ADB -- so no sideloading

My Amazon Fire TV seems to work fine. I can access the ADB Debugging option via: System>Developer>Options>Debugging. I can select "ON," and it changes to a blue highlight.
I also know the IP Address both via the Fire TV and via my router (running Tomato), where I assigned a static IP address to the Fire TV. I've tried to acces it via terminal both on my Android phone and on my Linux machine (with ADB installed).
But when I do the sequence outlined here:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb connect <ipaddress>​
I get this error: "unable to connect to <ipaddress>"
Anyone have any idea why? The Fire TV is connected via wifi, but I'm not sure why that would matter.
I've seen a number of random posts around the web with the same question, but no solution. So help is definitely needed!

Few suggestions. First, it could be an issue with your router, firewall, wifi, etc. Also, make sure your computer or android device is using the same router when you try to connect. I have two in my house, and almost went crazy when I could not connect to the 3rd FTV I tried to program until I realized my phone was on the other one.
These devices are easy to sideload, so IMO it is probably your router and id check that first. If you have another router, id try that too. Wired up on ethernet.

Have you tried pinging the FTV from your PC to make sure your PC can actually "see" the FTV on your network?

try adding :5555 to the end of the IP.

Thanks everyone! Byrdcfmma was right: It appears that not only must the FireTV be on the same network, but also on the same exact router. I have multiple routers on the same network, and it would only work if I am on the same exact router.
I solved this by ensuring my android device was on the WiFi network of the router that I then connected, via ethernet, to the FireTV.

I have installed everything as per all the you tube videos and online guides tell me and can connect to my fire stick using cmd prompts (which it tells me is successful). Yet when i open up ADB Fire, i have added my stick and the correct ip address but it say "ADB Stopped" in the bottom right hand corner. In all the guides ive seen it always says connecting and i cant find a solution (5 hours in and counting!!). I am using an EE fibre router and need some help pls. I cannot find a site anywhere online that covers this and i know its something super simple i am missing! Below is the log:

To my knowledge, ADB is disabled in stock recovery. And furthermore, USB peripheral mode is disabled in the kernel. Therefore I know of know way to do anything useful with stock recovery.

If your PC has two network connections (e.g., wifi and ethernet), you can connect to the internet via VPN with one connection interface, and set the other to share your PC's connection and connect the Fire TV. For example, setup a VPN connection via Wifi on your PC, then connect the Fire TV to your PC via ethernet, and set your PC to share your wifi connection over its ethernet port.
