Use Mobile Phone as Wireless to Ethernet Bridge - Networking

Hi there,
I am looking for a phone that would allow me to join a wireless (wifi) network and then share the connection with an ethernet connected laptop.
I assume that I will need a phone that can accept either a USB or Compact Flash ethernet adapter.
Has anyone come across such a solution?
Regards,
Tim

99% of pocketpc's are usb slaves and cant ever connect actively to any usb device
but 99% of pocketpc's can work as usb and bluetooth modems for pc's

Unfortunately USB is not an option as we are in a secure environment and USB access is locked down on the laptops.

However you could use your phone connected to your computer with USB, bluetooth, or wifi then connect a hub to your computers LAN port then setup ics with your comp.

Can I use HSDPA modem with HTC touch?

Hi
I recently got a Huawei 220 modem, which enables connection to the internet via HSDPA. The modem comes with USB cable. its primarily used to connect to laptop, so the laptop can connect wirelessly to the Internet via HSDPA, almost anywhere in my country.
My question is, will I be able to connect the Huawei 220 to my HTC Touch, and use the Huawei as a modem so that I can similarly connect my HTC Touch to the internet? I reckon the HTC Touch is like a mobile laptop in a way, with some difference of cos. Anyone has tried that before? Thanks!
no usb devices are devided into 2 types hosts and peripherals
only usb hosts can use other usb devices peripherals can only be used
99% of htc phones are peripherals
Celios makes a cell phone docking station which can serve as a USB host IIRC. I wonder how that works.

Is quite simple!
Open ASync on PC,File>Conn.setings>This computer connected to>in drop down menu select Internet
After pairing,start ASync on ppc>tap menu>Connect via BT
PPC will connect on some Bluetooth serial port COM_ port(on my PC is COM10)
Thats all!
Enjoy!!!
when ur connected via active sync, do u still need the USB cable or not???? im getting confused here
internet thru AS and PC
I'm not sure,i understand the question,but...
You can connect to ASync via USB cable,BT or IrDA(you know that).
If you conn. to ASync via BT(integrated or USB dongle) you don't need the USB cable(all time you want to be on the internet via PC,you must do that thru ASync,with cable,bt or IrDA, in this scenario) !
Every type of conn., give you capability to go on internet thru the ASync!
Help you,i hope!

[Q] Nexus 7 - Simultaneous Wired Ethernet & Power

Hello all,
I'm currently attempting to have my Nexus 7 be both connected to the internet via a USB to ethernet lead while also being charged.
I'm able to do each of these individually but when I attempt to use a random USB hub i have to hand I am unable to get both to work, the charging works but the ethernet does not.
When I connect straight through (OTG Cable to USB to ethernet converter) it works fine, however, when going through the USB Hub (with the power for charging disconnected) comms is achieved (ethernet switch is flashing) but I can't connect to the internet. This leads me to believe there is something specific I require for the USB hub.
Do I require the USB hub to be something special to enable this/ is this scenario even possible for me to achieve?
Cheers for the help.

Connecting an Android device directly to a PC via an Ethernet TCP/IP connection?

I'm trying to establish a wired TCP/IP connection between a rooted Google Nexus 7 and a PC. I'm using an Ethernet to USB plug and a crossover Ethernet cable in order connect the Android directly to the PC.
I wrote a simple Android TCP/IP server program and downloaded a TCP/IP client testing PC program. I can specify the devices' IP addresses (using shell commands on the Nexus tablet) and they can ping each other just fine, but the problem is when I actually try running the programs the client won't connect to the server. The client will time out and the server just keeps on waiting.
I should also add that I got the programs to correctly connect to each other when I plugged the Nexus in a network (with the plug + Ethernet cable), and connected the computer to the same network wirelessly. I also got a working TCP/IP connection with the same server program between the Nexus and my Android phone, using the phone's hotspot function to create a wireless network. The problem happens only when I connect the Nexus tablet directly to the computer.
Any ideas as how to solve this problem? Any help is appreciated.
Solution?
