Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there's a way to take the Internet connection from a PC via usb, and then make a wifi Hotspot so I could share that connection to tablet, laptop, etc.
Thanks in advance!

I think that that setup won't work, why don't you buy usb wireless or router....it's cheap....

I am using Desire and 2.2 version, but this version still cannot connect to ad hoc network for internet.
Is this any easy way to solve this problem?
Thanks all......
At the moment my desire is connected to a usb dongle wifi, because my wifi router is broken. First i've tried to make an adhoc network with my home computer but I failed. Then I installed tue usb wifi adaptor's software and it has an option to turn it into an access point and I've connected my desire to it.
I'm not sure if I'm helping you with this information, but I wanted to share my experience.

Hi Spritable, can you please elaborate or supply a link to this software? Googling it didn't bring up anything relevant. Thanks.

My USB wifi dongle is a RaLink model and I've downloaded the driver/application from the company's website.
so desires or any android phone on 2.2 can't connect to an iphone that is running ad hoc wifi?
I tryed this yesterday.

i have connectify on my pc and i am still using adhoc because i have some very old clients in my wifi that cannot connect when i choose hotspot mode.
you see connectify may help but its not a solution for everyone.

Hello everyone! First time poster here.
I've been looking for solutions all over and i can't seem to find one...
Internet at home is down and I'm tethering on my phone (tilt2 energy rom w/ att). Tethering works fine but i have to disconnect from the LAN to make it work.
Tethering internet creates another connection independent from the LAN.
I am using windows 7 and i'm wondering if there's any way i can tether internet on my phone and be connected to the LAN at home?

You could tether via Wifi or Bluetooth instead of USB.
thank you! that did it
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.
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.
