[Q] Tether wifi connection through phone to PC

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.

[Q] Direct USB Tether to PS3?

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.

Reverse USB Tether

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

Hi all,
I've seen lots of tethering aps that let you share your mobile device's internet connection with a PC via USB.
I'm wondering if I can do the reverse. I'd like to share the wired connection of a PC with my offline Tablet via USB (no wifi available).
Can it be done without root?

I think it is only possible with a Ethernet to micro usb

Yes it can be done. You need an OTG cable, then a supported USB to Ethernet adapter. I will not elaborate any further, this has been discussed many times in numerous forums (there is a great thread in the Nexus 7 2012 version section about what USB to Ethernet works and what does not - mind you the Apple adapter does and you can eBay it brand new for like 5$).
There is currently a bug in the Nexus 7 2013, the adapter is seen properly, but DHCP fails, and I tried manual address assignment, but DNS resolution still gives me issues. You can either get a patch for it, or wait for Google to fix it.

I can confirm it works (the mentioned Reverse USB Tethering). I set it up on Fedora 18 but only with root.

I found a USB wifi dongle that could act as an access point and run it in access point mode on my PC so my tablet can connect with wifi. No USB cables to fool with .

Hi! I've written an app for Reverse Tethering that does not need a rooted device. I've opened a dedicated thread for the app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-reversetethering-noroot-t3316716

Android tethering problems

Has anyone sucesfully managed to tether their 4G gemini to a laptop, to share mobile data?
I've tried WiFi hotspot and USB tethering and I'm having no luck. The laptop gets an IP and gateway address from the Gemini but still can't connect to the internet.
I have no problems when I tether using a different phone.
If someone with a 4G gemini and a laptop could give it a go and let me know if it works for them, it would be really helpful.
Thanks!
Tom

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tethering works fine for me.
Maybe tethering is blocked by your carrier.

FIle transfers do not work either

When connecting USB to usbC , the Win laptop claims connection exists, but permission to connect is missing. Hence it would seem that Gemini or Android is incapable of registering a physical connection (even if it reports slow charging" when at an USB2 port as opposed to USB3.)

I would really prefer a cabled connection to hack exposed and battery-eating wireless methods, so any advice is welcome. I tried to hook up and mount the Gemini so as to use the versatile file handler MC on it at my lange stationary Linux machine, but it seemed to be "invisible". (My Gemini is the pure android latest available version, not rooted.)
