Hey there.
I've been using a RPi as mediacenter connected to the internet over ethernet, but now I'd like to use an Samsung Galaxy Android phone running USB internet sharing for connecting.
I'm using RaspBMC in it's latest version; but I can't seem to find a way to connect to the internet using USB.
When connected via ethernet I have full control and can connect via SMB, SSH and FTP with no problem; but it seems that the RPi can't see the USB shared internet.
Have you tried the easy connect addon?

Question: why not just get a cheap, tiny wifi dongle and use the wifi hotspot on the phone to share the connection that way? Seems much easier...the dongle I use is this one:
Edimax EW-7811UN Wireless N 150Mbps USB Nano Adapter 802.11b/g/n abgn with EZmax
It's a plug-and-play item fully compatible with the Pi (meaning, you don't need to configure anything, it just works).

Because I already had the phone. But if this won't work I'll buy a wifi dongle and skip the phone. I just need to connect to the in-house network

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

Hi,
I searched to find a way to connect my Note to my laptop's internet, but couldn't find a way.
I have no wifi router and therefor I wonder if there is a way to surf internet in my Note by using laptop's internet connection.
Thanks for any suggestions
Connectify. Or reverse tethering (search for it in Android apps section).
Thank you
After trying so hard to get the first option to work on my PC i had to give up.
Tried second one and downloaded the trial from google play and I am now amaized how fast and good this is working. Now I have full internet access on my Note. As fast as my PC's. But you have to use the cable thou.
There's a new app called Opengarden. I haven't tried it, but it looks promising. It uses bluetooth, I think.
Not same
Opengarden is not supporting reverse tethering it is tethering. It means you can use Opengarden to use your mobile's internet on your pc, not your pc's internet on your mobile like reverse tethering. Two diffrent apps.
Just so i've the picture clear, are you using a 3G Dongle to connect to the net on your laptop.

I am using a cable. It is student biulding and I connect the cable to my PC and the internet is there.
The problem is that the galaxy Note does NOT support AD Hock as I tried much and changed some system setings from /system/bin. If there was a solution for NOTE to support Ad Hock it would be amaizing.
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.
Do I need to have a wi-fi adapter on my PC to use the ChromeCast extension with the chromecast? Or is a wired connection enough? Please.. Need a quick answer.
Also.. Was wondering, how do I check my ChromeCasts firmware version, I haven't connected it to the internet yet, but I want to check to make sure I can update it. Thx.
I tried plugging it up to the tv, and it only says I need to setup first, should I do that? Or not take the risk
You need a wireless device to set it up like a phone or laptop. Once setup you can cast from your wired pc if it's connected to one of the Ethernet ports on your wireless router.

I want to connect to a tv with wlan (tvsideview from sony). The connection works, but i can get no programinfo, which is loaded via internet. When i connect to the tv with wlan, mobile data is disabled. The tv has no connection to the internet.
Is there a solution for this?

Make the TV connect to the phone.
