Hi guys!
Just a thought, I have a PS3 and I have access to a local wifi, but due to the wifi having a MAC Filter the PS3 can not connect so I had a thought of USB Tether my Wildfire to PS3..
BUT
When I read online, I saw that I must use a computer & Cross over Ethernet cable to the PS3, and I don't have a the right cable..FYI My computer is also allowed on the local wifi.
SO
My question is this: Is there anyway to DIRECTLY USB tether my Wildfire to the PS3?
Why not white list the PS3?
I wonder if just using the USB Tethering option in Cyanogenmod 7 would work?
Does your Wildfire have access to the Wifi?
I wonder if you were to use a USB Wifi Adapter connected to your Computer/Laptop to create a 'Hotspot' from which your PS3 could connect? Alternatively you could I guess try this maybe...

I hope one of these works for you.
Hope I've not confused anyone too much lol

I do not have access to the router & I can't contact the guy who owns the wifi because he's working away for a while.

From what I understood, Portable Hotspot only uses 3G / hsdpa connection and I want to use WiFi connection as I do not have an unlimited data plan.
I have seen the Reverse Tether guide before and have used this for another Buzz I own.

Hello everyone,
I am currently at work, and they have their always fun hitler-esque blocking procedures on certain websites that shouldn't be blocked. The place I work at has an open Wifi network available to customers that doesn't block anything. So my question is.. Is it possible for me to connect to the Wifi here at work and then tether that connection through USB to the desktop that I'm currently using?
Thanks!
Ricky
Yes..it is possible. But you will need to disconnect the lan cable before you tether and might need to restart the browser on your desktop.

Does your desktop have a wifi card?And you can use your phone as a wifi hotspot,if your rooted.
Will your company be able to tell if you were doing that from a company computer,don't they monitor the pc's,since they block websites from you?
All you have to do is turn on the wifi and connect the phone to the computer with a USB. Don't mount it as a disk drive. Now use a USB tether app from the market and bam!

not particularly but could be
anyways yes the evo way costs nothing but you could also maybe pick up a usb dongle? basically the same idea and doesnt tie up your phone just a thought
heh dongle
You can share the WiFi signal via USB. I have used PDANet before and it works fine, however, I have only used it with 3G. I am not sure if it will work with WiFi signal. Also, it entails having the PDANet software installed on the PC, which I am assuming is not a possibilty due to possible restrictions (seeing that youa re being restricted as it is). Doing a "usb tether" search on the market may provide other apps that may allow you to tether via USB without the need of having an application istalled on the PC as well.
Has anyone had USB reverse tethering success with the GNex and windows xp sp3?
I've done a good bit of research but I'm stuck.
This would be easier and straight forward if you had a 2nd wifi dongle, assuming you use your wifi for internet. If you use a network cable and an unused wifi onboard (or USB or PCI etc), then it's an immediate option for you.
XP's wifi is kinda so-so though so expect a little struggle.
Actually, I'm in a cell dead zone and there's no wifi... so reverse USB tether is the best option for me.

I've wondered about this , find anything?
Any solution at all? It would be really useful!!
I managed to get Bluetooth reverse tethering to work on Windows xp.
Search for a guide on the net.

I think what he meant was to set up the computer to start an ad-hoc network. That should be easier than usb.

Sure, but android don't support ad hoc networks. The Bluetooth method I got to work don't need root either.

That requires having Bluetooth on the PC though!!
I've been using http://www.connectify.me (with Windows 7, but supposed to work with XP) just fine
Bluetooth adapter is very cheap though. And you can use it for other things too

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?

Woah! Yeah definitely misinterpreted what you meant!
Looks like you need to fish out your ethernet cable!

There are a number of excellent Reverse Tethering tools for Windows. However, I am unable to find a solution for Reverse Tethering from a Macbook Pro. (And yes, I have tried searching.)
Short of setting up a virtual Windows PC on my Macbook, does anybody know of a reverse tethering solution for Mac?
(Just to clarify: This is not USB tethering where I use my phone as the modem; this is using my computer's internet connection and passing the internet through the USB to the phone so I don't need to use my data connection.)
Thanks.

You could try setting up a WiFi Hotspot on your Macbook, and connect to the WiFi on your phone and tether that way.
Why not just use whatever WiFi the notebook connects to?

I'm new to the Macbook (coming from a Windows environment). I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip.

It's for when I'm at work...they only have a wired connection.
A quick search on Apple Support brought this up: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6589
OS X 10.6 or later versions have tethering built-in.

What are you trying to do? If you want to access your internet connection on your laptop through your tablet and it doesn't support adhoc, you will either need to reverse tether via USB or buy a wireless router, to route your internet connection wirelessly instead.
i cant

i am using a Globe Tatoo as an internet. thats why i need to use adhoc. i cant use a router.
I'm trying to find an ad hoc enabler(?) also. Trying to connect to a wifi elm327 OBD2 device (Intended for iPhones).

I take it when you say globe tatoo you mean you have a mobile internet connection on your laptop? Most likely usb?
Everyone here is from different countries so we can't always make sense of network or company names.
Anyway, the ability to create an ad hoc network depends on your network card, there is no way to enable it if the driver our chipset doesn't support it.
Two options,
Either reverse tether using a usb cable. You need a special app and root to do this and you will have to always be plugged in.
Second option, buy a new network adaptor that supports ad hoc. You can also use an Ethernet bridge/router if your laptop has Ethernet.

I need to enable adhoc in my Galaxy Tab 3 7" to connecto to my OG Droid. What I understand is that we need a wpa_supplicant compiled with adhoc enabled... No idea wher to find it!!!
