I think he means providing the Note with an internet connection via Bluetooth or USB instead? Maybe?
OP, isn't just connecting your Note to WiFi the same thing as "reverse" tethering?
Now, if you're talking about sharing a wired internet connection from your computer to your Note without a WiFi access point around, you can do that from your PC with internet connection sharing. Essentially turning your PC's WiFi into an AP.
Is this what you're talking about?
There is a software called Connectify for Windows 7 for reverse tethering via Wi-fi.
Anyone knows if there is something similar for Windows XP?

I do know that it works for Rooted phones, but not really working properly for unrooted phone due to some access issue.

can u please elaborate how u did it?
Connectify creates a wireless hotspot on your laptop (or wifi enabled desktop) that can then be used as a regular wifi hotspot. There are many free apps that do this too, but Connectify works best for me. Search for "virtual router" if you're looking for freeware.
If you don't have access to Wifi, then this tool here might be your only hope :

Yes, it only works on a rooted device, and if you still don't want to root, the same guy has a method to make it work without root too. Only that it's a little more contrived. There you go : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/191930/Android-Usb-Port-Forwarding

For reverse tethering on XP machines (if u don't already have a separate physical wifi router), you will have to create ad hoc network. So try this to set your machine as a HotSpot and connect your G-NOTE with this hotspot as you would to a typical wifi network:
On you XP machine, Go into Control panel
Open “Network Connections”
Right click on “Wireless Connection” and click on “Properties”
Click on the “Wireless Networks” tab and select the check-box which says “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings”
Under “Preferred networks” click “Add”
Type a name in “Network name” text box
Select “Shared” from the options under “Network Authentication”
Under Data encryption select “WEP” and type in your password in “Network Key” field and now click “OK”
Now the new HotSpot should show in the list of preferred networks.
Click on the “Advance” button and select “Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) networks only” and press close
Hit “OK”.
Now, you need to share the wired internet connection (LAN) so that your Galaxy Note now can access the internet connection through this HotSpot you just created.
For this, Go to local Area Connections, right click it and select properties
Go to the “Advanced” tab and under Internet Connection Sharing check the box which says “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection” and make sure the box under that is NOT selected so that no one can disable the network remotely.
Hit “OK”
You are done. Now connect your Galaxy Note using your XP machine as a hotspot.
Enjoy...

use connectify on your pc which will convert your dsl connection into wireless hotspot. the all u need is wlan card in ur pc+connectify software
Hi I have windows 7 and I tried using connectify but unfortunately the broadband internet that I have uses a wireless connection. This wireless connection dosn't have internet access but you have to be connected to it to use the broadband. Is there any way to get around this?

I have a notebook, with MS Vista, and with mobile internet (pcmcia card). A tried to connect internet via s730 through mobile device center, but i can't.
I tried with WI-FI: connect to my notebook (ad hoc connection) but i can't use internet.
I tried it with free hotspot and it works.
I don't understand. What can i do?
How are you trying to get online?
You want the s730 do connect to your data network and share that? Or do you want to dial it into the internet (someone got that working on here) or are you connected through your notebook already and want to share that to your s730?

I've never been able to get this to work, I don't even know if you can or not.
I am confused.
Do you want your s730 to get on the Internet by connecting to your laptop? Can you just use a usb cable then you can use internet connection through laptop onto phone.
If I understand you correctly your laptop is what is online and you want it to pass the connection onto your phone through the wifi?
If thats the case that you just need to enable ICS on your laptop. It will be under your menu settings, I havnt messed around with vista's network settings so I cannot tell you quite what it looks like. Possibly a check box or a protocol to install. But once you install Internet Connection Sharing your computer should pass the connection out.

I have this working on my machine with my 730. Often you might need to repair the network connection to your phone from the network connection control panel as it sometimes loses it's IP address.
I also found that I needed to do some work in OneCare which I use as an AntiVirus and Firewall as this was blocking access to the Mobile Device Center.
hope this helps

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....

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

AFAIK you cant. But if you have WIndows 7 and wifi on our PC you can use a program like Connectify to allow the phone to connect via WIFI.
Use that in work and works fine.

Revisiting this as after I posted had problems that my SGS wouldnt connect. Fiddled around a bit and could not fix it. On buying a cheapo Archos 70 tablet tried to connect with the same errors and looking through the Windows logs came across some errors. Turns out, for me anyway, that it's a known Internet Connection Sharing problem in WIndows, not the android devices. Easy fix
Are you using Internet Connection Sharing? Most user do not use or need this. Shut it off in Network Properties.
If still no luck try rebuilding the tcp/ip stack:
1. Click on Start button.
2. Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
3. Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run Command Prompt as Administrator. Allow elevation request.
4. Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.
5. Restart the computer.

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
Worked for me
sorry for bringing it up again.
changed wpa_supplicant to the one from galaxy s2 and changed permissions. But didnt work for me!
Anyone got files for me so i can use adhoc wifi?
i really need it! thanks a lot guys

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.

Reverse tethering app uses my data plan in order to appear the connection as 3G. And it uses cable. Not good enough.
Ad hoc would be best option.

If you ever heard of an application for Nokia called JOIKU HOTSPOT you will be interested on this topic. I use joiku hotspot on my nokia phone to enable to connect to multiple devices at home. I don't have wired internet. Since this is an ahhoc wifi hotspot I am not updating to ICS unless a hack is available to enable wpa supplicant to "see" the joiku adhoc signal. On gingerbread I had to download and install a modified wpa supplicant file to connect to joiku .

You saying reverse tethering have some issue - Now reverse tether application using your wired Internet of your PC for your android device
While Joiku spot is for sharing your device network to PC
So question is you want to share net from your device to PC
OR
want to share PC internet to device?
Edit :wat i understand now is
You dont have wifi router, but just you have created wireless netwok (virtual) and you want to share your device net to PC wirelessly
if yes
try this, it have ad hoc support if i remember correctly, since long i have not used it.

I don't know. It is strange. If i have no credits in my sim card, and I connect to internet via the app, it goes fine. But I can't see connection as 3G and some apps don't work due to this.
Then when I put credits to my sim card, the connection appears as 3G. And the data plan button turns green whenb checking in setings. If i turn of I lose coonection as 3G. Some times it doesn't use data plan, but often it does.
BTW, I never use data plan for anything it is always disabled, but the reverse tether app turns on.
No idea what is wrong.
