tethering and utorrent - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Anyone know how to configure port forwarding for torrents when using tethering? I'm on froyo if that matters. I get a nice 200-300kB/sec down and 100/kB up for regular data transmission, but my utorrent is crap.
And no, I will not be abusing my tethering. I just want to have a good working setup.
Thanks

Check your router settings

umm...really? I'm tethering...that means no router. I'd be on 3G.

You can tether to a router/local network... you never specified. You can't forward ports from the phone, it's not connecting to a physical modem you have access to.

I very much doubt your network operator allows the port range required for torrents on the apn you're connecting to... you could try a port check to find out (but they probably drop that traffic too).
Can you set up an SSL torrent on port 80 to test?

Torrent and Internet Sharing...

Hi,
I am trying to use download using uTorrent when connected to the internet via Internet Connection sharing on my phone. It connects to client(s) for 1 or 2 seconds and then disconnects, without downloading any data. I have checked that the required ports are open and they are... has anyone managed to do this?
Cheers,
Neil
your provider is probably blocking it. torrents (like any traffic on a network) is traceable, thus block-able.
Torrents with internet sharing?
Man are you downloading rings tones?
you might be able to port scan your own connection and see if that port is close. If you're paying the tethering fee then call them and complain. Tell them you're trying to get a linux distro over torrent and now you can't get your favorite flava.

I thought about this for a bit and even though I do not use uTorrent with a tethered Kaiser, i do have internet issues..... They are probably related. I cannot connect to a web site that uses https on port 2000....
That is something that is only an issue AFTER a flash to Dutty's ROM....
anyone have any help to offer to get MediaNet working proper again?

It shouldn't be their business what you're getting though, isn't that what network neutrality is about? Not restricting flows of information from one PC to another. Of course if you're using extremely high bandwidth you may impact other people's service and that's not fair, but if I pay for bandwidth I should be able to use it on all my ports. It's not up to ISPs to regulate what you do on the internet, just as it isn't up to phone companies to stop you making phonecalls to certain people for whatever reason.

Wifi tethering without internet

Hello.
I'm trying to connect two wireless devices (HTC hero with a WM device or PSP for example) and I want to do that without an AP.
As far as I know that's possible with AD-HOC network, but wireless tether on android seems to only share internet and not just create a wireless network and since I don't have data-plan it doesn't let me tether.
I'm basically trying to create a walkie-talkie or a messenger app
So... is it possible to create and AD-HOC connection on my phone (not for the internet)?
Thanks in advance.
couldn't you just call (walkie talkie) or sms (messenger) the other wireless device?
Sorry but that was a really dumb reply.
The purpose is to make free calls and send free messages if you haven't figured that out already and even though I'm not going to be actually using this, it's interesting to try and I could also finally put some use to my PSP.
Also it has to be *specifically* wifi.
As far as I know the Nintendo-DS supports something like this. Is that true?
I thought of this aswell.
Could be very usefull!

I guess this is not tethering

Hello folks,
I have an wildfire and don't have 3G data access.
I only have a hotspot account from some carrier that offers plenty of hotspot in the city. It's convenient enough.
So I have Wifi account and is it possible to share it? So some other phones and my laptops could access the internet through my wildfire wirelessly?
So, in short, I have wifi access to the internet and would like to share it. I guess tethering is not doing this. Do you guys have any idea?
Best,
Matt
Google Pdanet
should make it possible to share wifi through bt or usb.
haven't tried it though
Godspeed
jesper
Thanks for the reply. Should try.
Meanwhile, for the tethering available on google code, will this support sharing Wifi connection?
Or anything else does?
Matt

[Q] LAN between two phones

Hi, I've searched for an answer but I didn't find anything relevant, so my questions is, can I create an wifi lan connection between two phones but without sharing the mobile data connection?

you mean then exchanging files through wireless, where the wireless LAN is established and maintained by the two phones and not by a 3rd device (router) ?
Exactly. But not only file exchange, I want rather to host a web-server on one phone and other phones can access it without having an internet connection.

I might be less informed than you, but then what is tethering about?
With tethering, the phone with WAN access (the tetherer) can share the internet to the phone without internet access (the tetheree)
It also shares the mobile data connection which I don't want. Maybe there is a way to start Wi-fi thetering without sharing the data connection?
Wi-Fi direct is what you are looking for, the bad news is that the sgs doesn't support it (to my knowledge).
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Why not simply disable 'data' for mobile connection on server side?
Maybe you can control the corresponding traffic (port 80) with Droidwall.
I think this may be exactly what you want. It creates a local web server using the WiFi hotspot library so people can download files from your phone with a very to use QR system.

there are roms with wi-fi direct support. I was able using it with CM10
Thanks guys, I've solved it with the wi-fi hotspot option from cm10 & disabling the data connection.
And by the way, as a web-server I used Paw Server. It also supports PHP.

Share LTE connection via Tmobile tm-ac1900 router?

I'm between Internet providers at my house. I have the Tmobile tm-ac1900 router (the one made by asus).
Is it possible to somehow share my phones LTE connection thru the router to my LAN?
I thought that was an option of the router but I can't figure it out.
I hope this questions reads clearly.
Basic terms: house Internet is out, I want to use my phone LTE connection to supply Internet to my LAN through the router... So I would assume connect my phones wifi tethering somehow to the router as the WAN so it would supply Internet to my hardwired devices to the router.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe, pay your phone bill?
I would say no cause I don't see that on my router

You can try with a microUSB to USB cable. Under Setting / Tethering and Mobile Hotspot, there is the option to use USB tethering. I have never used USB tethering but it's worth a try. It all depends if the router can take an "internet" connection through USB...most common routers take a cable, RJ45 or RJ11 connection.
LOL... I'd actually have to pay my CABLE bill, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.
I was so sure I saw that option somewhere, to be able to share your LTE/mobile data connection with your local network? Of course I didn't care when I read it (or mis-read it as it were) and of course I can't find it now.
I've been using a USB wifi adapter and mobile tethering which works fine, but only for a single machine at a time.... and now that I have unlimited data - I'd like to use it, at least until I pay my cable bill anyway
You need something like that
