My internet connection is down and right now I'm using my Note as a modem for my computer. But when I'm doing this I cannot access my LAN (of course). Is there a way to use the Note as a modem for my router so I can connect my computer through the router and have both internet access and LAN access?
My router is a Cisco E4200.
Just checking, what were you using to connect your computer to the router before using the note, what other devices are there and what are they connected by?

My computer connected through WLAN to the router. I have several other devices connecting with a mix of cable and WLAN to the router.
hmmm...
ur phone has usb tethering capability.. y dont u utilize it as it will use the usb port
and u can still connect to ur LAN using wifi
True. That is acceptable, but that would leave all the other devices without a connection. How do I connect through USB? I have activated USB tethering in the phone and connected it with a cable but nothing happens. I'm using OS X.

Presuming DHCP is obtained through the router or manual and the router can handle switching an ethernet cable from the mac to the router would work.

EDIT
Just read up, you wanted to give all of the devices on your network an Internet connection through your note?
EDIT
It is possible to do it from the computer if that's the case but for the sake of simplicity let's first connect the note directly to the router.

That would be nice, but mainly I want to be able to access internet and my LAN from my computer.
Connect via wifi tethering. You should be able to access ur LAN via cat5 cable.
If not, RECONFIGURE your router to the same IP rangr used hy ur note.

Never found a cable which I could try with and now my normal connection is working again so really dont need it. But thanks anyway and I will try all this next time.

Before i unlocked and flashed my Nexus one, it was enough to connect my Nexus one via USB to my Laptop to use laptop internet connection.
The first time i did it, Windows installed a bridge network.
Now that i am using a customer ROM (CYA 5.5.0.3), it does not work anymore.
Any idea if it is removed from the custom ROM, or if i need any kind of menu to make it to work?
Thanks in advance
Cedric
any taker?
i cannot be the only one that is interested in this basic function?

Have you tried the Wireless tether application? It does the exact same thing as USB tether, but wirelessly:

Reading fail
He wants to share the PC's connection with the phone, USB tether and Wifi tether are for sharing the phones connection with the PC.
i have same requirement. because 3g signal in my N1 is very unstable. wifi as is. so i have only connect to internet via notebook. This is the biggest problem of my N1.
did anyone ever figure out if this is possible?
Is it possible to reverse tether.?
Example: I am in a place with only Edge or almost no signal. I have my laptop connected to a 50Mbit cable connection.
A router is not a option.
I would like to connect the Nexus to the laptop and use that as a router and Dl through that...to the phone.
Is that possible.?
Can I Dl from marked without a signal on the phone.?
find a program that allows your pc to send out a wifi signal; im not sure if they really exist though.
Im not sure if its possible to bridge a connection via usb either...
Huh? Is standard on wm6(with usb). Try ad-hoc wifi with laptop. Greets

Hello, I googled around, but i can't seem to find an app for my needs.
I have a PC with Internet connection and a laptop. So i want to use the phone's wifi as a card for the pc, which to share my connection over the wifi and connect the laptop. Is there an app for that?
It should look like this:
Internet -> PC -(usb)>phone - (wifi)> laptop
there is no app for that and it would not work will as the phone does not have the prcessing power to maintain two different syncs at the the same time.
Not to mention the fact the your battery will be drained in no time flat because of the heavy wifi use as well as drawing on the processor to handle such a load.
just buy a router
Yea i thought of that but just checking, anyway I'm in need of a router
10x all

what about WMWifi http://global.wmwifirouter.com/features/
# Support for sharing your cellular data connection over Bluetooth and USB
# Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa
# Support for sharing your WiMAX connection to USB and Bluetooth
Shouldn't that just work via Internet Sharing? If you connect the phone's Wifi and turn off Data... would that work? Then connect the PC to the phone by USB or Bluetooth.
its posible this, i read a LOT and not a solution =(
i read about wireless ad hoc conection but im looking for USB not wireless ad hoc, seems no one do it or maybe i didint read, using XP since apps like conectifity uses w7
thanks
assuming your computer is connected to the internet through at wire and if it also has wireless you can always create a "wifi hotspot". though having your phone use your computers net connection via usb... don't think you can do that. the closest you can get to that is a reverse ssh tunnel.
thanks for reply
perhaps what i want it share PC conection to phone
this can be done using wireless router and creating an ad hoc
perhaps i dont have a router or wifi in my pc to share i want use the USB wire cable to share my pc internet (ADSL)
like windows mobile

Nope, what you're trying to do won't work. Sorry!
Guys and gals...
i've searched my query here in this forum but still couldn't find the exact solution.
Im pretty new to this entire "android" platform. just got my nexus one rooted and unlocked.
my only concern here is regarding "wifi Problem". I've got linksys Compact wirelss-G USB adapter (WUSB54GC).
Now I don't know how to access it just like a router.
Secondly, When i started using it with nexus one it connected without any flaw. But some days after It's not connecting with N1, having said that
I've also used this adapter with Ipad2 and sometimes the wifi doesn't connect to the ipad2 properly.
Now how I was connecting like I always delete the existing adhoc connection and create another one and then try to connect... after few tries it connects but after few days N1 says obtainig IP address... and in windows 7 the status says connected with "no network access"
I tried "WEP and other protocols" and also without any encyption as well but nothing is working here.
Actually In our country we dont have 3G network we're still on EDGE and that costs us much so here I'm relying on my home USB 1MB connection to use it via adapter.
Currently Im using Oxygenmod FINALE
Please help me whether it's my N1 or the adapter or should there be anything wrong with the Radio i've got v4.06. with oxygen1mod finale
Ask me anything If u feel.
And yeah BTW I didn't know that Android is an open source so u can call me a "Nwwwwweeeeebbbb"
I am not familiar with Oxygenmod, but if it is Gingerbread based, I would highly recommend updating your radio to 5.08.

Thanks... But let me update it that I've just updated to 5.12 radio... I was too curious that's y i played the bet. after update nothing seems to me different network signals are same i.e 100% blutooth working and havnt tried EDGE. WiFi still not working and stuck at "obtaining IP address"
Actually In our country we dont have 3G network we're still on EDGE and that costs us much so here I'm relying on my home USB 1MB connection to use it via adapter.
I don't believe these phones have proper support for ADHOC, but it seems it is more of a computer problem if the ipad is having issues as well. Is there a reason you are trying to do an adhoc wireless network instead of getting a cheap wireless router?

well it's the first time I've got this USB adapter so I only know of this adhoc connection being made in win 7. havnt experienced a router though.
but could u please confirm if any cheap router supports my USB internet connection? (i dont have a DSL connection rather wireless)

I doubt any router would support the usb wireless adapter, but you can use windows internet connection sharing to share the connection through the wired connection. Then you can hook the router into your ethernet port on your computer and share the connection that way.
Definitely not the easiest, but I have never tried sharing an internet connection through an adhoc wireless connection.

I think I need to clear something here....
My ISP gave me a USB called (EVO), I just plug that "EVO" into my computer and I can download upto 3.1Mbps and browse and surf yada yada...
then I bought "linksys USB adapter" to make my internet connection WiFi.
Now how would I connect my N1 to internet via WiFi when u say "adhoc" is not supported.
Is there anything apart from what "Bassmadrigal" suggested.? (caz it sounds too technical for me)
I don't know if ADHOC is actually supported (and if it is, how well it is supported) on Android. But if you are having issues with devices other than your phone, then I think it is going to be a computer issue that probably won't be able to be fixed with any devices on your phone.
I can try to make it a bit more non-techincal...
Buy a cheap wireless router and use the router's guide to get a wireless network set up
Plug in the network cable from the computer's network card to the "internet" port on the router
Follow this guide to get Internet Connection Sharing up and running on your computer
