Can some one tell me how to share my 3G connection over wifi? I need to make the phone as a portable access point.
no can do.
Bluetooth or USB
Try hitchhiker it's free! but I'm not sure if it works for sharing using 3G... try it and let me know http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/
No, It doesn't support to share the 3G connection.
So use Internet sharing over BT ?
Would like to use it as a wireless access point, so I can get access from computer and iPhone, seem like I have hard time to find a solution.
share the connection with the PC by USB. Put a wifi stick/pcicard in the PC and bridge the connections, then the iFoon can have 3G too

you got this to work?
or are you saying it should work?
i have tried to share a connection this way but have had no luck when using internet connection sharing/pan.
i did get it to work this way back in the day when the phone ran wm5 and had dun.
do you have any pointers on how to get internet connection sharing in wm6 to let more than one device connect to the 3g connection?

seems like you may need an app on your pc to manage/route the connections not sure if this helps but you can try "network Magic" it give you a bit more options on the pc side for managing connections. would like to see where this goes for possible future applications. i'll give it a try when i have some free time and check with an comp tek friend of mine see what he thinks.
Yeah it sucks that no one has created a way to share the wifi connection just like we share bluetooth or usb.
We also need a proxy server that we can run on our phone.
ok, for me the boring part is the time of the connection, you can share via wifi by just turning on your internet sharing in whatever the pc connection, you just need to manually deffine your hermes wifi to 192.168.0.1 and it shares via internet sharing! The question here is that the connections stops after 10 minutes becouse of the warnig "check usb cable connection". Its very irritating to have to start connection every 10 min. !!!!!
awww...iPhones not fast enough Data-Wise for ya?
thought it was supposed to "revolutionize PDA Phones"
hah.
sorry, i had to add my 2ยข against Apple.
Beware, some mobile provider allready use NAT, thus you'll recieve a non-routable IP. I am not sure that you will be able to share a connection of this kind.
Is there anyway I can have my desire use my PC's internet when it is connected via usb?
At this stage I dont have wifi at work and cant use that method.
Essentially I want to reverse the direction of tethering when the phone is connected to my computer.
Thanks, Dean
Unfortunately, reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's Internet connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which is quite annoying. It would be nice if this type of feature, although highly unlikely, could be incorporated an upcoming ROM update for example.
That is annoying, especially since I could do this with my old WM - although thanks for the reply and info.
I wonder if it could be done through an app perhaps.
Cheers, Dean

Yes it's extremely annoying. I had this on my HD and HD2, but i really don't know why HTC could not incorporate this with the Desire. Afterall, it's a desirable (excuse pun) feature.
it has nothing to do with your phone, since it all depends on the host computer. On mac: you can do it easily by sharing your internet connection in system preferences.

maybe i misunderstood you, but its perfectly possible to make an adhoc wifi network, and connect to the internet on your desire

it has everything to do with your phone. If the phone has no interface for it, it won't work.
Can't say whether it works or not, just saying that it does not depend solely on your computer

So does this mean I can do it or not ?
Do I need and ad-hoc wifi network - what exactly is this ?

If your computer has a wifi card (laptops usually do, desktops don't) you can create a local network and connect your desire to it.
No idea if it's possible over a wire
You don't need to create an ad-hoc network, just download connectify and use it as a hotspot on your laptop, then connect the Desire to the hotspot you just created and that's it.

Ahh that is handy!
Thanks for the tip
I created an adhoc network following this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx
The host laptop itself can see the adhoc network, but desire cannot.
Any ideas?
Maybe I'm wrong but AFAIK Desire can't 'see' ad-hoc networks, only access points. You can get internet from PC, but only using Connectify under Windows 7 or by using advanced magic under Linux.
Am I right or something has changed lately?
BTW: does anybody share internet from Linux? Any suggestions?
As far as i know, you can only see an ad-hoc network if you have the desire rooted and change some files somewhere (can't remember which ones...), either way the next best thing is to use some kind of software that creates an Wifi Access Point.
I don't get it: why would you want to connect to the internet via your PC instead of directly connecting to your WiFi router ?
Maybe when you only have a LAN-connection?
Or Maybe when your in Work and only have a Lan Setup
and want to access / download things on your phone,
Reverse USB tethering would be AMAZING!!!!!

Stupid me, just hadn't realized that still not everyone has a WiFi capable router nowadays...
The problem with ad-hoc internet sharing is that your host PC still needs a WiFi connection. You can't use internet through USB. I've tried it yesterday at work (yes, for the Froyo update ), but no succes.
Having a smartphone in a country with high mobile data costs is like having a Ferrari to do your local grocery shopping Fortunately I'll have unlimited mobile internet next week. So I can finally use my Desire as intended.
I've just set up an ad-hoc wifi network using my laptop, but it seems that desire can't see it. My other laptop, and ipod touch are connecting just fine.
Is there any way to fix this??

Yes, wait for the Froyo update.
I 'm waiting for this to use my KS20 as a hot-spot

I have froyo rom installed...it should work...i guess ...
AFAIK no Android device can see an ad-hoc network. (not without modifications / root that is). I admit I have no idea if Froyo solves this problem.

Can u post any links with instructions? I would really like to make this work, hehe . I've also tried Connectify, and Desire can connect, but there's no internet access (maybe I did something wrong)...

You _did_ something wrong, because Connectify is the way I successfully connect my Desire to internet.

Hm...don't know. There's nothing to do wrong . It's very easy to configure. I've tried it on two laptops. Desire is just hanging on obtaining ip adress, and another laptop conects just fine but with no internet access...

Your windows firewall is blocking the connection process. Either turn off the firewall or set a exception, if you have a complete antivirus solution with firewall its the same thing.
Also go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections (on win 7) > right click on your internet connection > Proprieties > Sharing > Check the "Allow other network users to connect through this computers intenet connection" > in the drop down list select the Wirless Network Connection made by Connectify
No desire does not see ad hoc connections, i think some people on here are not understanding what the OP means.
He wants to share his interner from laptop to desire so the desire can go online.
I have tired this with a nokia phone in ad hoc mode (n900) and desire would not see SSID.
Not sure if froyo will, i had froyo installed but didnt test that.
Android does not see ad-hoc networks by default, but it can be configured that way.
I did it with this guide: hxxp://modmymobile.com/forums/491-jailbreak-root-access/544146-connect-g1-ad-hoc-network-solved.html (replace xx with tt) wich is similar as the above mentioned.
I had some problems with the wpa_supplicant.conf file, but this is how it looks now:
Code:
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="MarcsAndroid"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}
network={
ssid="Marcsnet"
scan_ssid=1
psk="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=CCMP TKIP
priority=1
}
I'm using wifi thethering on my Desire and have configured my old G1 so that is sees the Desire, can connect to it, and share its internet. But most importantly, I use the app WiFi-keyboard, so I can use my G1 qwerty on my Desire
Ipad 3g connection shared with ad hoc network
Hi...I want ho share my ipad 3g network with my Htc Desire Hd but my Htc Don't see the network because the network is a "ad hoc" network........there is any solution for it?....Thanks...
ok my parents wont get wireless networking in our house anytime soon so im stuck with wired connections. to my laptop. that means im trying to create an adhoc network with my win7 laptop. and then i realised android doesnt support adhoc networks yet so i rooted it and got this app : http://code.google.com/p/desire-adhoc/
ok so im now connnected to and adhoc and ive sent internet sharing. however, my computer won't send packets to my phone, so i cant access the internet. it worked once then it stopped working. i refresh 'google.com' and it just stays stuck at like 10% of the status bar then says that the webpage is not available...
any idea how i can solve this???? thanks in advance

hi yea, my phone sees it but isnt able to connect, it just says 'unsuccessful' after trying to obtain an address
Does anyone know if it's possible to use this when using your phone as a WIFI hotspot, or does the hotspot only use your data connection? Cheers
I'm not sure what you're asking, but the Wifi hotspot option only allows you to share your phone's 3g connection with wireless enabled devices. If you're on Orange they've probably blocked it by default so you need to configure it.

He is asking if he can forward the Internet connection from the PC using a USB cable (Internet Passthrough mode) and further pass it to other devices using the WiFi hotspot feature IN THE SAME TIME

Yeah, that's what I want to do. Picked up an iPad 2 on Friday, but don't have WIFI at work. Was hoping to share my PCs internet connection instead of using my data.
I'm in the same boat. No wifi at work and would like to share my pc's interenet through the phone's as a wifi hotspot. Theoritically this should be possible. Any third party softwares which allow this?
Hmm, cant test it now due to some reasons but it's possible to use your phone as a wifi card.
For example connect your phone to wifi and activate usb tethering. Now your on the wifi nework with your pc.
I think that yours should be possible too
Tapatalked with Tapatalk from my Desire HD using Tapatalk.
I'm trying to do the opposite, not usb tethering, rather internet passthrough. Basically I want to use the phone as a wifi router (but not using mobile network as the source of net).

Unfortunately , I guess , this couldn't be possible , because when HTC Desire HD device is connected via " Internet pass through " , the internet connection is neither 3G , nor WIFI . I can't be a hundred percent sure that this is right , but as far as you know there are some GAMELOFT games , which require downloaded CACHE/DATA for playing them . This downloading could be possible , when your device has been connected to Internet , no matter 3G/4G or WIFI .
Once I tried via " Internet pass through " to download this DATA/CACHE files ,but there appeared a notification saying Im neither 3G , nor WIFI connected . So I couldn't succeed in downloading the files . ( I've tried many games , yet has never managed to download DATA/CACHE game files via "Internet pass through" )
My opinion is that WIFI-HOTSPOT can be activated only when you are connected via 3G/4G/WIFI network . But anytime you want , you could try if it is possible via "Internet pass through" be established a WIFI-HOTSPOT
: ))
Create a txt file "qaWifiOnlyMode.txt" and inside write FALSE , put in the root of your sd ... and the game will ask your permission to use carrier network , if internet pass through are active will use the USB connection
(sorry bad english, i'm drunk)
