You want to connect to a WLAN with your desire and tether the connection to the pc? Why, or am I wrong?
You can connect to your normal mobile internet (desire) and use the wireless hot spot (depends on the rom, but I only saw roms that are able to do that)
That can be done. Maybe he wants to tether his 3G connection to his PC. Either way, WiFi or 3G, it can be done. Why would one want to do something like that (WiFi2PC) is whole another ball game...
I don't have a wireless card in my pc, so I wonderd if I could use my desire as an alternative?
Thanks in advance

Yes this works as I used to use my phone as a wireless card.
Turn off 3g, connect to WiFi and then connection your phone to your pc. Im on windows 7 and it automatically worked.
There's the option to use usb tethering (in CM -> Options - Wireless & networks - Tethering & portable hotspot - USB tethering)
maybe this will help you
I can confirm that you can connect your Desire to a WiFi network and then tether to a PC via USB.
It saved my ass when I updated my netbook's BIOS and it decided to blacklist my WLAN card. :O

i had my desire hooked upto my pc via usb and had 3g and wifi enabled, connected to the internet fine. but im not sure on tmobiles tethering policy i.e extra charges etc so decided to turn 3g off and use wifi. i.e wifi to the phone and share to the pc via usb. no dice, wont work! why wont it let me share my wifi which is alot faster than the 3g it will let me share?
also will i incur any fees from tmobile?

I had the problem with Win 7 64bit. The drivers of tether just wouldn't install. I solved it by using Easytether which can be found in the market.
You have to install the app on your Desire and you also need to install a small program om your pc/laptop but once installed on the Desire the app itself tells you what to do and when and where to download the stuff for your pc. Piece of cake
Does your laptop not have wifi?!

Can you do WiFi tethering on the Desire? That would be cool...
I doubt you can...because it seems pointless. I can't imagine a device running an OS that accepts USB modems that doesn't itself have Wifi built in unless it's a very old laptop, and then what OS are you running?

Try the app PdaNet, it lets you share your internet (3G/H) via USB or Bluetooth
yes both my macbook and desktop have wifi. i was curious as to why the phone would rather use a slow 3g connection to share as opposed to wifi if it is available.

There is a program available so you can use wifi on your laptop with the wifi on the phone. But to use that program you need root access so it won't work on the Desire (yet).

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).

I've been searchin for the same thing, i dont have a wireless router for home adsl. is there anyway to connect to the net with my desire via usb connection to pc..? ive got XP on my PC and connectivity on runs on Win7
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.
I don't know how to transfer a file over WiFi.
Recently i bought a NetGear Wireless Adapter WNA1100.
Is it possible to transfer my Wireless Adapter and My phone?
How to transfer?

I just downloaded and tried Wifi File Explorer and it works good so far

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).
Hi. The best one. U can even use cfis to mount the file sharing from your comp. and access it through /mnt/cifs.

Sup guys is it possible to turn my fone into a WiFi adapter so I can connect to my home internet connection via pc my wifi adapter broke yesterday when I shut the door on it

Yes it is.
Menu> Settings> More> Portable hotspot & tethering
Here you can either choose to set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot so your PC can connect wirelessly to your phone and use it’s 3G for internet connection.
Or you can use USB tethering to achieve the same internet connection but using a cable instead of WiFi. Personally I’ve had more success with this one, as I have found the WiFi Hotspot function to be very hit-and-miss.
You may find that after prolonged inactivity on the connection, it stops working and you have to stop and then re-start USB tethering for it to work. Keep the data flowing though and it seems to work just fine. Obviously take into account your 3G data plan. If you are on a unlimited plan then you are laughing.
Don’t shut your phone in a door!
Lol not teathering via mobile network I'm talking about a pc WiFi dongle adapter which I use on my pc to connect to my home boardband so I can receive full speed connection I'l post a link when I get home with a screenshot so you understand a little better thanks anyway

ok this is what im trying to do but not sure if its possible see screenshot
Answer is No. Android does not allow ad-hoc connections.
HTC does allow you to use internet through usb connection but cant share that out over wifi.
Why not just connect ps3 directly to the router?
