Thanks for your answer, but I tried and don't work again. Something more?

More ideas people?

Hi I'm curious why you want an adhoc, what's the objective?
I'm guessing is it media server?

Hello, I want support for Wi-Fi AD-HOC networks because on my house I don't have a local internet connection using a cable for use one wifi router, so the only way to have wifi on my house is repeating one Wi-Fi connection on my old windows XP desktop PC, it's a Pentium 3 so I can't install windows 7 for create a real virtual Access point, I just can create a AD-HOC access point with windows XP.

You want to share your data plan (phone 3g Internet) with Windows xp, then use your phone in wifi AP or USB teter.
On winXP you have to share this connection to your Lan port or your adhoc connections.
Is this right

No, you not understand me.
I'm repeating right now my neighbor Wi-Fi connection with my old PC with windows XP, the problem is that I CAN'T FIND the Wi-Fi connection that I'm repeating with my android cellphone because using Windows XP i only can create AD-HOC hostpots, not normal Access Point like on windows 7, the problem is that I found on the web some wpa_supplicant edited files but doesn't works for me on my s4 mini, when I put on the folder and I try to enable the wifi, don't turn on and I'm forced to return back to my original wpa_supplicant.
I only need be able to see and connect to AD-HOC networks with my s4 mini, don't care about my windows XP PC because the problem is not there and I can't upgrade that old PC to windows 7 too, that's impossible for the hardware.

Oohhh I see your issue, Android does not support ad-hoc, sorry my bad I tough it does
I have w8 in my office and I share Internet to my phone using a USB card I thought I had an adhoc but I think it's not ad-hoc like winXP, netsh start hostednetwork
The solution I think is to use a wifi router connected to the Lan, they are usually cheap, buy a router capable of repeat that signal
Have you tried with Linux there are distros for slow/old machines

Your connection is not AD-HOC, it's infrastructure mode that mean its like a normal Access Point, I can't use a router because I don't have lan cable I just use one Wi-Fi card to connect to my neighbor Wi-Fi and another to repeat the signal using connectify to create the AD-HOC network, in this case I can't use a router, I was thinking on that use a Linux for create a fake AP, it's my last option, but I still thinking about use the AD-HOC network on the s4 mini, is possible because I have a modified wpa_supplicant on my Ainol tablet and I'm able to connect to the AD-HOC network like another normal wifi, and using a app called Wi-Fi manager on my s4 mini I can find the AD-HOC network and try to connect but, nothing happens, I think it's fault of a stupid stuff and maybe someone can have the answer, so, my question still open!
If someone knows how I can connect to the AD-HOC network, please let me know!
Thanks for try to help me fburgos

Well i learn something thanks.

Desire to use PC's internet

Is there anyway I can have my desire use my PC's internet when it is connected via usb?
At this stage I dont have wifi at work and cant use that method.
Essentially I want to reverse the direction of tethering when the phone is connected to my computer.
Thanks, Dean
Unfortunately, reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's Internet connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which is quite annoying. It would be nice if this type of feature, although highly unlikely, could be incorporated an upcoming ROM update for example.
That is annoying, especially since I could do this with my old WM - although thanks for the reply and info.
I wonder if it could be done through an app perhaps.
Cheers, Dean

Yes it's extremely annoying. I had this on my HD and HD2, but i really don't know why HTC could not incorporate this with the Desire. Afterall, it's a desirable (excuse pun) feature.
it has nothing to do with your phone, since it all depends on the host computer. On mac: you can do it easily by sharing your internet connection in system preferences.

maybe i misunderstood you, but its perfectly possible to make an adhoc wifi network, and connect to the internet on your desire

it has everything to do with your phone. If the phone has no interface for it, it won't work.
Can't say whether it works or not, just saying that it does not depend solely on your computer

If your computer has a wifi card (laptops usually do, desktops don't) you can create a local network and connect your desire to it.
No idea if it's possible over a wire
You don't need to create an ad-hoc network, just download connectify and use it as a hotspot on your laptop, then connect the Desire to the hotspot you just created and that's it.

Ahh that is handy!
Thanks for the tip
I created an adhoc network following this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx
The host laptop itself can see the adhoc network, but desire cannot.
Any ideas?
Maybe I'm wrong but AFAIK Desire can't 'see' ad-hoc networks, only access points. You can get internet from PC, but only using Connectify under Windows 7 or by using advanced magic under Linux.
Am I right or something has changed lately?
BTW: does anybody share internet from Linux? Any suggestions?
As far as i know, you can only see an ad-hoc network if you have the desire rooted and change some files somewhere (can't remember which ones...), either way the next best thing is to use some kind of software that creates an Wifi Access Point.
I don't get it: why would you want to connect to the internet via your PC instead of directly connecting to your WiFi router ?
Maybe when you only have a LAN-connection?
Or Maybe when your in Work and only have a Lan Setup
and want to access / download things on your phone,
Reverse USB tethering would be AMAZING!!!!!

Stupid me, just hadn't realized that still not everyone has a WiFi capable router nowadays...
The problem with ad-hoc internet sharing is that your host PC still needs a WiFi connection. You can't use internet through USB. I've tried it yesterday at work (yes, for the Froyo update ), but no succes.
Having a smartphone in a country with high mobile data costs is like having a Ferrari to do your local grocery shopping Fortunately I'll have unlimited mobile internet next week. So I can finally use my Desire as intended.

[Q] How to share my laptop's internet connection with my htc wildfire wifi?(UNROOTED)

Hello guys..!! I have come to this forum after a long time..
I need yuor help guyss..plzzz
I want to connect my laptop's internet connection (wired connection /lan by mtnl) to my wildfire (not rooted)..I have seen many threads and forums and also searched google very much..Still i am not able to connect my pc internet to my phone via wifihotspot..is dere any way to do so??
And also i dont know how to make a wifi hotspot in my laptop..I have tried one method lyk (in xp network connection>wireless network connectio>properties>wireless network tab>add new wifi network> ok) but still the wireless network connection is not coonected..and i also dont know how to connect my wildfire hotspot to my new wifi hotspot in pc..\
In every android phone there is a Wifi Hotspot app...is dis the app which can help me??
Google for an app called "Connectify". That should work. I don't know how far it supports Windows XP (The page says it does support XP, but for Ad Hoc mode only), but I guess it shouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Having the S3 Connect to my Laptop's Wifi

Hey I want to create an adhoc connection to allow my S3 to use wifi connection from my laptop?
I tried creating one but the S3 wouldn't find it on WPA and no security.
This is because my S3 has very slow speed and low connection to my routher which is two floors below me. My laptop and iPad and stuff can connect fine but not the S3. I tried the *#0011# trick but to no avail. If I try a factory reset how do I backup everything?
But how can I have my S3 connect to my Laptop for Internet, is this possible?
yea the s3 cannot see the ad hoc network its not in our wifi profile.
Last time i checked, i don't recall typical WiFi chips being able to function as a WiFi access point... could be wrong, though.
There are some apps that claim to enable ad-hoc networks on certain phones. Not sure if they are compatible with our phones our not.
If you're using windows 7, you can try connectify. It'll create a real wifi ap instead of just ad-hoc, also simultaneously allowing the computer to connect to your router's wifi.
Use Connectify
yo can use connectify and make your wirless adapter to an access point then this application could share your internet connection via this virtual access point

[Q] Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc

I cannot find a definitive answer: Does the 2013 N7 support connecting to Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc networks? I do not have a router, but I do have a wireless card in my PC which I am using to broadcast a Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc network. The N7 sees the network, but is unable to connect. I have tried disabling all security on the Ad-Hoc network (no password), but it still does not connect.
Has anyone figured out how to get this working?

also wondering if it supports it, I cant even see ad-hoc. Might be something that we can mod onto the stock rom
Not supported. There is an ancient bug report for that:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82
CM might include support:
http://www.thinktube.com/android-tech/46-android-wifi-ibss
Do you have a particular reason to use ad-hoc mode? The N7 can play access point just fine; your PC most likely as well.
There is this mod if you really need, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163363, I personally think Google should add native support, is really not that hard, especially for Google
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013) using XDA Premium [HD], for the man who wants to use the best tablet screen ever made.
Here it works.
My neighbour gave me access, he is 100 meters away. My laptop has a real teck card with outside antenna and I rebroadcast the signal to my nexus 7 with connectify.
It works....
My home internet went out a couple weeks back and I used ad-hoc on DJLamontagneIII's CM10.2 Flo Kangs rom. It was a build from a couple weeks ago, but I'm sure it's fine on the new one.
There were no tricks, ad-hoc just showed up under Wi-Fi connections and I connected.
Good luck.
I do wireless tether from my lg optimus g to my tablet just fine. If I recall WiFi tether creates it using ad hoc, not infrastructure (unless you have a rare phone that supports it). It works just fine.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The Nexus 7 doesn't connect to adhoc connection unless. It connects only to infrustructure networks and this is with some other android devices. Rooted devices have a way of going around this though.
did anyone have a solution for the nexus 7 (2013)?. I cant find anything helpful at all regarding this.
I really need to connect to an ad-hoc connection
You need to be on window 7.
I think it s not working on xp.
what you are suggesting is just normal infrastructure hotspot.
I need to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection , specifically to a symbian phone as a hotspot using Joikuspot.
anyone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163363&page=6
this thread seem like showing the solution for other tab, but not for nexus 7 (2013). can someone make it work for our tablet
I just flashed CM-FLO 4.3.1 and it doesn't work. The tablet is able to see the Ad-Hoc network I created with my Nokia E-72 (yes, I know it's old but it's my work phone).
It sees the network. I click on it and connect (network is open; no wep). It then says that it saved the connection but if I click on it again for it to connect it doesn't.
I've tested this with 2 different iPhone's and they are able to connect successfully and browse while connected to my Ad-Hoc. I verified connectivity because the mb up and down counter shows data traffic. I thought CyanogenMod would have it enabled by default. I guess not.

[Q] HTC One X not connecting to my Laptop Hotspot

Hello everyone,
I have a broadband wired connection at home on my laptop (Lenovo GT570) and i tried to use the ad hoc wireless connection to make it a wireless router. But where my nokia N97 device searched and connected to my laptop hotspot, my HTC one x could not search not connect to my laptop.
I used every kind of security key like WPA WEP etc....
Even my phone doesnt connect to some smaller android versions like gingerbread, when tried to connect to their wifi hotspot.
I know that Android would not connect to Joiku Hotspot in my Nokia N97 due to android security issues.
Please Help to find a way to connect to my laptop wifi hotspot as well as to the older android versions.
Thanks in advance
