I want connect to Ad-Hoc using my mobile wi-fi anybody can tell me how to do that??
GT540 can't connect to adhoc network.
You should install connectify, your pc will become an access point which gt540 can connect.
Well, it's not a problem with that the GT540 cannot connect to ad-hoc, it's that android does not support it at the moment. (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82)
It seems to be possible be changing/adding some lines of code in the kernel, but I do not know of a custom kernel for the gt540 which has this feature enabled. Still looking for it myself
Connectify will work only on Windows 7

You can make wifi hotspot (if you have wifi) from your pc by Connectify.
oh, i have to make a wifi access point in my laptop then coonect via phone the internet shares..?
or u talking about a option in the phone which named wifi hotspot .??
I forget the steps in Windows XP, but for Windows 7 go to the
-Network and Sharing Center
-Set up a new connection or network
-Set up a wireless adhoc (computer to computer) network
and follow the steps to setting up the connection. Then, at the last step, enable internet sharing. It'll let other computers, or, well, anything that can access a wireless network connect to your PC. Secure it with a password if you want to be safe.
Notes: Some devices will not be able to connect. There may be a software bug or they've not been designed to work with adhoc networks. I'm not sure if the laptop can connect to an alternative wireless network while it's hosting an adhoc network. If you want to share internet, you may need to be plugged directly in with an Ethernet cable.
Yeah my internet connection is from my lan..
but my phone don't detect my network which created from laptop, what's the problem..?
How is this is Nexus one Q&A? This is not even android related lol

You're probably creating it using the way described above, ad-hoc network setup. Android by default doesn't recognize ad-hoc networks. Some custom ROMs solve this issue, but stock setup won't allow you to see the ad-hoc network. Use Connectify.
Thank u very much but unfortunately this only works in 7, i have vista now....
I want share my pc internet with my Nexus one, isn't here best place for asking such a question ??

Sorry, I've been using CyanMod for too long I can never remember if it's supported by default or not.
To the OP, sorry if I've caused any inconveniences.
i'm using connectify now, but still my phone can't find the network, waht should i do??????
Did you set your network to Infrastructure? Also make the SSID visible, do not hide it.
i'm using v2 & i can't see such setting that u said, where can i find them to change..?
IF you have a windows 7 PC, i advise you to use conectify or virtual rooter. You can also follow the instructions in the following link - http://www.technospot.net/blogs/how-to-enable-windows-7-virtual-wifi/ - it will enable in your windows 7 pc a virtual ap). Hope it helps you

there is nobody here who could share pc internet connection with his/her nexus one..?!
HELP Me PlEasE....
I'm tring to run WiFi tethering software so I can get internet access on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I have an original Motorola Droid phone. I rooted the phone and when I run any WiFi tethering software it's broadcasting in Ad-Hoc mode. For some reason my Tablet can't see any Ad-Hoc networks. So, this is a big problem for me.
My friend has a Droid Incredible and he has a custom ROM installed on his phone and his phone doesn't broadcast in Ad-Hoc mode, his phone broadcasts with a regular WiFi connection. Why does his work that way and mine only works in Ad-Hoc? Do I have to install a custom ROM to get mine to work in regular WiFi mode? If so, which ROM is recommended?
Another solution is to get my Tablet to recognize Ad-Hoc networks. Is there some way to do that also?
Thanks so much for all your help and time!
Which tethering app are you using?
Both Wireless Tether and the 2.2 default 3G Hotspot app are broadcasting in infrastructure mode.
I remember my Wii not being able to connect to a hotspot created via Wireless Tether - did'nt try 3G Hotspot yet...
Well, I've tried different Hot Spot Apps and they are all the same. I used the same app on both my Droid phone and my friends Incredible phone. His phone worked in Infrustructure and mine worked as Ad-Hoc. I don't know what default 3G Hostspot app you are talking about. My phone didn't come with any. From what I was reading it has to do with the hardware of the phone. Since my phone is so old it only supports Ad-Hoc and the newer phones support Infrustructure. I think that's what people are saying.
I've been reading there is a way to make Tablets see Ad-Hoc but I can't find any information on how to do it with the Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I guess there are different patches and you need to find the right version that's compatible with your Tablet.
So, the only solutions I can see is get a newer phone that supports Infrustructure or to find the patch that works with my Tablet and lets it see Ad-Hoc.
Thanks!

how to use adhoc wifi?how to use adhoc wifi?
As I know adhoc NOT supported
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
There is something called "wifi Direct" which might be another name for the same thing. Read about it in the user manual, which can be downloaded from Samsung in a pdf. Sorry no link.
If your trying to use the Adhoc to tether other devices to your Note to use it's data connection, then you go into your Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot, enable this, set up a password if you wish, then you can connect to it via wifi now.
Does the phone see wifi adhoc?
Sorry to bring up this thread, didn't want to start a new one.
Now that many people own the nexus. Can someone tell me if the phone can connect to a wifi adhoc? To avoid misunderstanding, this is not the same as tethering phone's internet to other devices (that what's Wifi Direct is about, I think). This is the phone using internet from pc via adhoc wifi (for example using the program Connectify).
Thanks
There is a guide for galaxy s2, just google it (cannot post link), you need to change wpa_supplicant file

If you used this guide "Connect to adhoc Wireless Networks on your Galaxy S2 (SC-02C)" the is should work, maybe it depends on firmware, I have N7000XXKK5
well with this wpa_supplicant i can see the ad-hoc but i cant connect.
And although my note freezes if i use this one. isnt there one especially build for the SGN?
i have kernel N7000XXKK9
I don't understand, if you want to connect to a PC via wifi to use the PC's internet, then isn't it then down to setting the PC as the adhoc and connecting you phone via wifi as if it was connecting to an wireless router? Or Wi-Fi Direct (which is the phone connecting to other devices, not other devices connecting to the phone i.e. tethering)? Can anyone clarify what the issue is?

The issue is that, by default, the Nexus can't see adhoc wifi and therefore can't connect to it. You need to somehow modify wpa-supplicant to be able to see adhoc wifi.

yup, thats it!
But we are in Galaxy note forum although the problem is the same..
Oh I see, I did not realise that there was such an issue, thanks for clarifying that for me!

I tried every thing but I am not able to reverse tether my wifi using ubuntu to my phone. I am using Nightly CM9 A99 with CK 0.4d kernel.
I have checked with old wpa_supplicant still not working
Please help
even I had a problem connecting to Wi-Fi,tried in both WPA & WEP security modes
but connects easily when Wi-Fi network is open.
I did reverse tether via windows vista home basic.
Hi. I have X8 with FroyoBread on it. My bootloader cant be unlocked and I have stock kernel. When I want to make WiFi hotspot it just doesnt work ( no error). I suppose its because of my kernel or something. I had same issue on Gingerbread v30. Is there any way to fix this?
Stock kernel doesn't support WiFi support. read here
try Barnacle WiFi Tether, that works. I have used it before, but it doesn't support tethering to mobile devices. it works if you connect laptop/pc.
Thanks for the reply. I tried Barnacle and like you said it doesnt work.
Barnacle does work but only allows others to connect to you via ad hoc mode. Only laptops and a limited number of mobile devices are capable of doing so. As far as I know it is not possible to set up the X8 as an infrastructure mode hot spot. Whether it's a hardware or a software limitation, I wouldn't know. Bottom line is - ad hoc is the maximum you're going to get.
