Internet Sharing via connection bridging" NDIS-Ethernet / ethernet to bridged WIFI.
My entire house has internet wifi connection from a bridged router connected via ethernet to a XP computer that has a windows network connection bridge between my Vogue's NDIS USB and computer's network card.
Always had dropped connections every couple of minutes with vista and windows 7 tethering directly. Found NDIS drivers for XP, made an internet bridge and connection now lasts at least a few days to a week!
This comes in handy since my rural location can only connect to internet via dialup or satellite.
Not the fastest, but 1.5mbs is far better than dialup, and we have 2 laptops, iphone, ereader, and android phone all connected to it with wifi.
Can you go into a bit more detail and share your setup? Thanks

Bro,
Android 10 rooted Essential PH-1
Software: PDANet (Paid) FoxFi Key, and VPN Hotspot.
Windows 11 HP Laptop with one Ethernet Port, 2 USB A gen. 3, and 1 USB C gen 3.1
Same version PDANet installed.
Open PDANet on phone. Tether and Hide Tether Checked. VPN Hotspot Open and ready.
PC PDANet open and ready with connect automatically block Microsoft if you want.
Connect PH-1 to any USB port you want.
PC PDANet should connect. Open control panel networks and adaptors you should see WiFi, Ethernet, PDANet, and Ethernet(NDIS). Disable wifi. Ctrl and click Ethernet and Ethernet(NDIS) and bridge them. Next right click PDANet and properties. Sharing and check allow other connection to use this internet connection. Since your other 2 eth adaptors are bridged and wifi is disabled it automatically assigns 192.168.137.1/24 to bridge (this is ics ip scheme).
Plug your Ethernet physical port into the wan port of any router set to dhcp. The wan port will get an ip from the dhcp server running on the phones tether feature as soon as you go back into VPN Hotspot and move the slider on the NDIS connection in tethering tab to on.
The PC cmd prompt route print will show you it knows nothing of the IP address 192.168.42.129 which is the NDIS USB network. But it does know about 10.1.19.2 and 10.1.19.1 which is the PDANet on your PC and phone respectively.
Is this completely necessary? Probably not but because the wifi or wired clients go through router to bridge on PC to USB NDIS to phone through VPN Hotspot your Cell provider doesn't know its tethering data and the PC doesn't have to route squat or add another NAT in the mix. The PC also will not use this connection for internet it uses PDANet and also hides tethering from your cell provider.
This is a virtual airgap people. If you configure router from the laptop you have to use remote management protocol and IP addressing. And other client wifi to router can use standard 192.168.x.x as in 0.1 or 1.1 etc to manage the router locally.
Overkill is awesome.

I was playing around with the laptop and pda and setup a ad-hoc connection (device to device) i don't have a wireless router but i was wondering if anyone has managed to get the internet wireless on the laptop wen the pda is docked using ad-hoc connection for my laptop.
So i want to use the pda as my router getting internet from the pc and send the internet connection to the laptop wireless.
thanks.
There are 2 ways for using internet through WIFI in your blueangel
1. ActiveSync through WIFI (works only in WM2003SE and ActiveSync 3.8 or earlyer)
2. AdHoc plus Internet Connection Sharing (works if your proviced does not limit your connection for sharing)
Could you guide through the steps to share the internet connection please?
I have a Evo 4G with CM 7.1 I have used the built in app, but it will not work for my needs. I have looked and used android wifi tether for root users, but I don't think this will work either.
My set up would include a desktop (wired to router), laptop, wireless router, and phone.
What I would like to do is use my phone as a backup connection if my home internet goes down (which happens enough). But since all of my devices are not wireless I have an issue of connecting to the internet though the phone. So I am looking for an app that would allow me to share my phones internet though wifi, but instead of the phone becoming an AP. I would like it to connect to my wireless router. From there I would set up my default gateway to be my phones IP address which would route the packets to my phone. This way all of my pc's and internet enabled devices could have a data connection when my home internet is on the fritz. Now I know alot will say the phone will not have the bandwidth to support that many devices, but I will disagree becuase in my testing I have got 1.7down .7up consistent on my phone which beats my awful home internet at 1.5down and .5up.

I don't see how this will work for me... I want to turn on tethering and connect my phone to a wireless router and then connect my computers to the wireless router also. The router would hand out ip and would set the default gateway to the ip of the phone.
Could you use an app that allows you to tether using USB and connect a usb from the phone to the router?
I was using the barnacle app to wireless tether when I had cm7, but not using a USB.
I have a question regarding tethering via wifi on my T989D.
I am using the Juggernaut v5.0 on my Telus T989D. It has wifi-sharing app built in. When I use this application to share my mobile internet with my PC, I get two different ip addresses. For example, use my PC's browser, I find my PC's ip address is 123.123.123.57, however my phone's IP address is 123.123.123.101. So my phone and my pc have different ip addresses.
Strange enough, my Samsung Vibrant (T959 from TMobile), is different. I use wifi tethering for root user app, and I find my PC and my phone (T959) share the same ip address.
Why they are different on my T989D?
The problem I am having right now is, tethering via T989D's built-in function is slow. Sometimes connection drops. However the tethering via my T959 is very reliable and fast.
Is there a way to disable built-in tethering on T989D and use the tethering for root user app on my T989D? I have tried to freeze the tether manager, but tethering for root user still has error in log and I cannot connect to it at all.
Please help, I want to fix my tethering problem with T989D.
thanks
think about it...
when you are WiFi tethering, your phone is acting as the router, and it provides its own IP to you
you don't get the Mobilicity IP on your laptop or whatever it's hooking up to your phone on WiFi
Sorry I don't get it.
Why my T989D and T959 act differently?
Basically there are two ways of tethering your phone to your PC, (to allow the PC to access the internet through your phone's data connection). The first way is connect PC to the phone, and then to configure your PC to see the phone as the network adapter. This is the method used when you configure USB tethering and you connect the PC to the phone with a USB cable. In that case there will only be 1 IP address assigned, because the PC is using the phone as the network adapter. (Imagine the phone is just an ethernet adapter for the PC)
The second way is to connect your phone to your PC and then to configure the PC to access the phone as if it were a Wireless Access Point (WAP). This is the method used when you use Wi-Fi sharing, (called Portable Hotspot). It's called sharing because the phone can share access to its data connection through its Wi-Fi hardware, for up to 8 different PCs simultaneously. In order to do this the phone has to route data requests correctly between the connected computers. It does this by assigning itself 1 IP address, and then assigning each PC that's connected to it, a different IP address. This is similar to setting up a wireless router at home to share a single internet connection between multiple PCs.
Usually USB tethering results in 1 IP address for both phone (network adapter) and PC, and Wi-Fi sharing/tethering results in 1 IP address for the phone and another IP address for each connected PC. However, I suppose it's possible to use different Wi-Fi tethering software that connects the PC to the phone via Wi-Fi, using only 1 IP address for both phone and PC, like the USB tether method. This would mean you couldn't share the connection, but it may work faster, since the phone wouldn't need to do any routing.
If the android-wifi-tether app is what you refer to as "wifi tethering for root user app", it's worth it to see if it works on the T989. (I'd be curious if it works too). However, if you're using Juggernaut 5.0, you should be able to install android-wifi-tether, and it should work. You shouldn't actually have a Tethering manager app in your list of apps, I don't and I'm using 5.0. If you do, and freezing Tethering manager doesn't allow this app to work, then I would try freezing both the Wi-Fi sharing app and the Wi-Fi sharing manager app as well. If it still doesn't work I'd be tempted to reflash the Juggernaut 5.0 ROM, and then install the android-wifi-tether app again, and see if it works.
Good Luck..
Thanks Jasnn, this really helped and I am now clear.
Yes, the application I am referring to was android-wifi-tether. It works flawlessly
on T959D. it is very slow on my T989D with Juggernaut 5.0/Telus modem.
If I reboot the phone and start tethering using android-wifi-tether, the application starts, but there is one error in log:
Setting ad-hoc mode: failed.
IP address are still different. My pc and phone has two different ipaddress.
I'd like to have the same ipaddress, also one thing bugs me is, the internet connection is not stable, the internet goes on and off. Lots of t989/D users have experienced this problem, there is no cure yet.
thanks

This may have been asked before. I am curious if it is possible to connect to an internet connection sharing device (laptop, desktop), and use that particular connection for internet based access on a samsung galaxy S3. I know that you can reverse tether to allow the PC to connect to the phone for internet. That's not what I'm looking for. I have a laptop that I want to be able to connect to from the phone to the WIFI connection, and access the internet via the shared LAN connection that I have on the laptop.

Internet Connection Sharing on your Wifi, set it to Ad-Hoc so it broadcasts a signal. My laptop has Intel MyFi so that part's done automatically (I can be both connected wirelessly and share my connection) but setting it this way should work.

Doesn't show up on the phone. Is there something I need to do to allow it to see ad-hoc networks?
I have gotten SideSync 3.0 to work with my desktop (running Win7) via USB3.0.
My desktop does not have Wi-Fi and is connected to the router via Ethernet. I was wondering if Side Sync could establish a connection on the Note 3 from the desktops ethernet to the Note 3's Wi-fi in the same way LG's On Screen Phone does.
Also, what is browse my mobile?
Thanks!
Scruffy,
Did you ever get an answer to this question? I also want to do this over ethernet instead of WiFi..
Unfortunately from my desktop PC SideSync works only via USB; it seems that it requires a Wi-Fi connection present on the computer where it is installed.

Correct. It uses wifi direct.
Sent from my leanKernel 3.14 powered stock 4.4.2 SM-N900T
Latest version has added LAN option.
But my case is a little more complicated. I connect my computer using an Ethernet to WiFi adapter. The adapter connects to the WiFi network of my router but the computer connects to the adapter by Ethernet so still unable to use SideSync
I have already used 3 WiFi USB dongles in my computer and for some strange reason, they all stopped working after a few months of use, that's why I moved to the Ethernet to WiFi adapter.
The problem seems to be the LAN to wich my computer connects is a small LAN created by the adapter, so it is a different LAN from the one created by the router. I have no idea how to solve this.
Yes I can connect to PC without wlan installed on PC:
