thankx leisler

help for you.
ive definatly heard of this before but i cant remember where :/ but! i did find this, so you can setup your laptop/oc as a wifi hotspot so you can share the connection like that http://www.connectify.me/download-lite/
also, you could try use virtual router to set up your laptop as a router to share your internet connection over wifi. ive never tried it but you could give it a bash.

How can I share my 3G with wifi?

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.

Turn any windows mobile into WIFI router

This application lets you use your phone as WIFI router without setting up anything in device. Let me if you guys like it.
This application has its own thread here on XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152. Don't really see the point of you posting the CAB here.. without all the information needed.
Well this message, in the wrong place, introduced me to your excellent application!
thank you
How do you turn off this wifirouter?? i got it working and works fine although i cant get my archos gen 5 to pick it up but i tuned it off but my computer still picks it up although it cnt connect to it
the app is connected but i am not connected to the internet on my laptop...any answers? i tried resetting a bunch of times
is it the trial version or the real thing? is there a free way of doing it.. does it work for windows 5
infrastructure mode?
is there a way to broadcast in infrastructure mode, instead of ad hoc? i would love to use a zune hd with this, but it is not able to see ad hoc networks. thanks.

the SSID is not showing up in my computer. All others (mine and my neighbors wireless connections) are showing up.
How to get my playstation 3 2 work with this router
Hi i am so damn frusterated right now with this. How do i get my ps3 to work with this router thing. My computer connects to it and recieves wifi. But when i try to find it with my ps3 it wont detect it. Does any one know how do i get this 2 work.
try this
1. connect ur trinity to ur laptop / pc via USB and run "internet sharing" on your trinity.
2. Set up an Ad-Hoc connection on your PC / Laptop and directly connect ur PS3 to it.
3. In network settings on your PC / Laptop click the ad-hoc connection icon and the windows mobile based device icon (Ctrl-Left click each one) right click one of them when their both selected and click on bridge connection from the drop down menu.
this method's a bit of a potch to set up but once its running it works perfectly and you only have to set it up once. it also lets you use the internet on your pc and ps3 at the same time.
I'm pretty late to this and NEW (newbie), but I wanted to make a quick post about it's use on my Imagio winmo 6.5 OS 5.2.21... no mods, no roms burned and this works perfectly. Now I can surf at work without the assistance of our helpful IT friends LOL.

Your laptop or pc picks up adhoc signals aswell as infrastructure, to be quiet honest, this app is very useless when advertised as a router, doesn't route anything if just limited to adhoc, adhoc = computer to computer connections, not a router to me at all! Its a very nice app for many other things though.. I see someone giving you instructions for 'ICS' doing all that just makes it all pointless and you may aswell just get a home router connected to house line!
This is one of my favourite apps. I've been using it for a long time now and just awesome.

Really love this app. Only problem is that it worked great the first time I launched it. Now it can't connect. It just keeps on cycling trying to connect to att gprs and finally says "the remote party has ended this connection". Any ideas?

It sounds like possibly your connection settings have been erased. Can you get internet in Explorer, etc? If so, please disregard this...
how do i load it in my phone
thanks for the share , can you explain how the procedure works , I want to create applications like these but still don't understand their concept

I think we'll need some more info to be able to help, not entirely sure what you're trying to figure out...
Are you wanting to know if your computer will still be able to connect to your router for internet access when your phone is connected to the computer at the same time with the USB cable?

yes, I think that's exactly what I'm asking...do I need to hook my phone directly up to the router with some kind of adapter, or can I just mess with network settings in windows 7 and get it to work?
Thanks
i think he possibly means use his phones internet for the router. so other computers can connect to the phones internet. not sure. need more info
if thats what you want to do you can use ur phone itself as a router
theres a app you can use heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538874

you do know what tethering is right? when you tether you use your phones internet for the computer. so why would you want to tether AND use your internet with the router?
Maybe I'm just asking wrong, just want to be able to use my wireless router like normal, I have my main computer tethered for internet, but I want to use my laptop or xbox to get online like if I had regular internet...

so. to clarify. you dont have regular internet and you want to use your phone just like if you had regular internet? for ALL devices in your house at the same time?
i think it is possible. im not 100% sure. and i dont think you can use your normal router. because your computer would have to act as a dsl/cable modem
i have something that MIGHT work. and i also have win 7. ill try a few things out and see if i can get something to work for you.
ALSO as a side note. i dont recommend using your phone for so many connections because most networks have a 5GB/mo limit. and i dont think it would be best for gaming because of high latency of 3g.
Ok, thanks...I was thinking that about the x-box, that 3g might be too slow, but wanted to try anyway...I do at least want to get my router working though...I did try to call linksys and get support but my router is not covered anymore...
also, what about using that app you recommended...will x-box live recognize that?
ok so i just tried connecting my computer which does not have a wireless card. and my laptop. it can only eeither support multipul wireless connections. or 1 wired connection
the app that i mentioned works well with my laptop it has the same distance as a regular router as far as i can tell.
im not sure if it works with xbox. i see no reason why it shouldnt, but ill try it out.
so basicly you CANT use your router
you can make it all wireless so your laptop xbox any anything else can connect
OR you can have it wired to where only your computer connected
(but i just thought of something you can do that might work so you can use your router. you could possibly bridge your connections imma try it out)
if you figure it out maybe give me some instructions...I really appreciate your help...

ok the thing i thought didnt work. but the xbox works JUST FINE. i havent tested it on any games cus my xbox is banned :X but i dont thinks its to slow. its just say you shoot at someone. a few sec later they get hit. just not instantly
so wireless works fine for all devices. just not your main computer. sorry. i cant find anything that works for your main computer and wireless. and in not sure if theres just an adapter you can buy (if there is that would be awesome)

Kind of clunky but still may work.
Tether to main PC.
Set Ethernet card on main PC to ICS, Internet connection sharing.
Connect Ethernet card to WAN Port on Router.
You may need a cross-over cable.
Point Router Wan connection to IP address of Ethernet card.
Set router IP internal addresses to something other than 192.168.0.xx, such as 10.0.0.1-xxxxxx or other to avoid double NAT.
All the rest inside the router is the regular router stuff.
Other guy may have come up with a Win7 solution already.
This is how I would start with WinXP.

Kind of needing to know where you are with setup now b4 offering any advice.
PM me and maybe we could set up chat/voice connection.
I use Skype.
ok i followed steps on a few sites all tell basically the same thing but when i do that everything works fine EXCEPT my computer dont want to use the phone as the primary device its still trying to use the Ethernet card
( i tired that on my XP comp)
now with windows 7 there is NO luck whatsoever
it wont even recognize the devices if i want to set it up
so i guess the closing answer is use the WIFI sharing app that i posted a link to and just use that as a router
if there is any app or in depth details on how to set it up please tell. to help him out. and for future reference
there possibly is a way just not with my card/OS if you have any luck let me know

Let WinXP computer be the bridging device. It needs to stay on for ICS to work.
Then Xbox, Win7, and others will be on same network for sharing of files.
is Original Poster still with this?

We others have been going around this for a bit.

[Q] annoying problem :(

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

[Q] Issue with sharing internet using WiFi hotspot

Hi there. Have got this issue with sharing internet on my Note 2 when I switch on the WiFi hotspot. I can switch on the Hotspot, and I can get other devices (phones, my laptop) to connect to it as well. But none of the devices can access the internet.
I have been using my other phone, an HTC Incredible S, without any issues. But the same does not seem to work with my Note 2. It worked fine when I used it a few weeks ago, though. And I don't remember making any changes. It is stock, and I have added an extra SD card which is about the only new thing in the phone.
EDIT: Ok, here is an update: Bluetooth tethering does not work either. However, I have noticed that I can share the internet if it is not 3G. I don't seem to have any problems sharing a net connection I get from another wifi source.. Makes sense?
Thanks folks!
Hi , i have the same problem
i want to connect my Note II to my laptop so i can use the internet connection of my laptop
i get the internet by a dongle (truemove 3G+ Thailand 15kb/sec ! )
i can acces my laptop, however i can only do this with a static ip adress.
i use the program " virtual router " wich works fine
but after th econnection has been made i still cannot acces the internet
as far as i know i opened everything in my system that i can think of to make it possible for my Note to acces the internet
it still not work
after this i tried the progran Pdanet.
same story , connection with the laptop but no internet
i am starting to believe that maybe my windows7 is blocking somewhere ?
btw. firewall is offline , no virus program installed
Help ??? kind regards J Pompe Kohn Buri , Thailand.

Hello there!
I think you have a different issue here In fact, quite the opposite! I was unable to share my 3G connection with bluetooth/wifi tethering options. I did a factory reset, and it is all fine now.
