I have:
PC#1 with Win 10 x64
Samsung S3 mini (without the sim card, connects to the my ISP router via wifi)
ISP router
NAS and other PCs connected via utp cable to the ISP router
PC#1 is to far from the router to be connected via utp cable so I need to do it via wifi but I don't have proper wifi card, so I've connected the S3 mini to the PC#1 via USB cable and enabled "USB tethering". And it works for surfing the net on PC#1 just fine. Problem is that I can't connect via Network neighbourhood from PC#1 to the other devices on the LAN, like NAS and other PCs but I can ping them or use their web gui. I just can't see them on the network but I can connect to NAS by entering its IP in browser but the only way to send or receive files from it is by enabling FTP on NAS and connecting through FTP client from PC#1.
A S3's status (on the phone) says it's IP is 192.168.42.129 thru USB to PC#1, but the IP from S3's wifi connection to the router is 192.168.0.105. So as far I can tell, the phone has two IP's: one for it's connection to the PC and the other to it's connection to the router
Here are IP addresses:
PC#1: 192.168.42.130
S3 USB: 192.168.42.129
S3 WiFi: 192.168.0.105
ISP Router: 192.168.0.1
NAS: 192.168.0.64
I've also tested the same "phone to PC via USB and then trough tethering to the router" connection with other phone (S10) and other PC (PC#2) on the same network, and they all have the same problem: I can ping IPs of other devices but I can't access them via Windows network neighbourhood connection
Is there a way to enable my PC#1 to be able to connect to other PCs and NAS via current setup (my accessing LAN on ISP router via tethered connection) and if yes, how to do it?

Have you tried Tetrd USB Tethering & Reverse Tethering (NoRoot) ? I don't know how all of it works but Tetrd connects android as an accessory and claims that you can transfer files with all devices on network. The tethering worked worked great on a phone that carrier has blocked so I have no doubt that it will do what it claims. It's on play store and you get download link for server in app. Free to try so can't hurt.
It's ... technically possible. If you don't know about networking, this answer won't be very useful though.
Problem: Your phone is acting as a ROUTER between the wifi network and the USB network. Certain kinds of traffic (mainly broadcasts) does not pass from one network to another. Browsing a network involves sending broadcasts.
I see 3 options to deal with this (in increasing complexity).
Option 1: Live without browsing.
While browsing of network stuff is broken by the router between your PC and the network, actually using services from those machines should work. For example, you can just do \\machine to access the machine without browsing to it, or even \\machine\share to jump straight to a share on that machine. Depending on if you have DNS going on your network, you may need to use an IP address: \\192.168.x.x (look it up on the destination machine)
Option 2: VPN to your network.
If the main router (not the phone) on your wifi network can host a VPN endpoint, your PC could connect to that. It's fairly simple to do, but it's kinda rare for routers to even do things lke this.
Option 3: Bridge the networks.
What you want is for the phone to BRIDGE the wifi and USB networks. This will turn the USB network into an extension of the wifi network.
If your phone is running stock, un-rooted Android I doubt there's any solution for you.
If you have root, and if brctl is present (or you can get it on there) then you can use it to bridge the wifi and usb network interfaces. Depending on what they've stripped out, this may require changes to the kernel.
You may need to stop the DHCP server that's currently running on the USB interface.
Automating any of this might be fun... but running a script should be doable.
Maybe there's helper scripts/apps for Android for number 3? I have never attempted this using an Android phone so I just don't know.
Connectify hotspot ? What about pda.net there's another window program that transforms pdanet to router maybe Nofi .

Twisted-Pair-Kabel – Wikipedia
de.wikipedia.org
UTP
Bezeichnung nach ISO/IEC 11801: U/UTP Kabel mit ungeschirmten Paaren und ohne Gesamtschirm (Unshielded Twisted Pair). Weltweit sind dies die meistverwendeten Kabel für Ethernet-LANs (mehr als 90 Prozent). Für Übertragungsverfahren bis Gigabit-Ethernet reicht ein UTP-Kabel der Kategorie 5e aus. Erst für zukünftige Techniken werden geschirmte Kabel benötigt (10-Gigabit-Ethernet), aber auch hier wird es einen Standard geben, der mit UTP-Kabeln funktioniert – auch bis zu der Standardkabellänge von 100 m
so if your PC#1 isnt more then 100 meters far away...you can use utp cable without having pipi in your eyes and without wasting your time by tinker with the s3....btw the s3 have only 2,4ghz Wifi with around 72mbits max.
thats useless my friend

i got usb wlan adapter. it's ip is 192.168.1.130.
the lan adapter in my pc has 192.168.1.84 ip.
all computers on my local wired network has 192.168.1.* addresses and 255.255.255.0 subnet.
i fixed the IP of SD sandisk wifi adapter on my mda compact to 192.168.1.131.
Usb adapter is in peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) mode and i normaly connect with ppc to it. i got 80-100% signal all the time.
the problem/question #1: why i cant ping from ppc to PC ? firewall turned off.
#2 - if i could ping it, would i be able to ping all the other ip's on my wired network?
#3 - if i could be able to ping all of those computers, how should i set-up a workgroup on ppc and be able to map network drives through wlan link?
#4 - if i would be able to map the drive over wifi link, would i be able to add mine 20.000 mp3s to the pocketmusic's playlist and play them wirelessly?
thanks in advance!
And when i ping from PPC - i see on pc that "received" packets are raising -
ie. now it shows 12 packets received, when i run ping on ppc to pc, the
number increases to 16 (4 pings!) but all are time-outed....
And if the IP on both sides are set to "automaticly", they got assigned
169.254.*.* IP's. Then the ping goes through correctly but i can't still
access the network. The network bridge between LAN and WLAN connection only
made things worser, making my internet connection unusuable (DSL through the
same LAN connection) so i deleted the bridge. Now - ping is going but i
still cant map my pc's drive.... what could be the problem...
Same problem
Dakky,
I have the exact same problem. I bought a Netgear WG111 Wireless USB dongle. I created an ad-hoc network, connected to it but can't connect to the internet or browse my shared. On my desktop the sent packet go up but not the recieved.
Are we both being stupid, can't you connect your PPC to your PC using an ad-hoc network? I have now tried to connect with two different desktops to my XDA and a friends XDA IIs running WM5 to my desktop but had no success. I can connect to an access point and browse file/internet no problem.
I have an XDA EXEC and run XP Pro on desktop.
I've got similar problem. I have Linksys Wireless-G usb network adapter, i assign same class IP adresses (192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2, mask 255.255.255.0) the wifi connects in ad-hoc modebut how can sync over wifi ?, if I am able to sync over wify i will be able to use my pc's internet connection wich is a lot faster than any gprs/edge
I don't think you can network in this way - basically you have a bunch of clients but no 'server' I think you need a wireless hub (with Internet connection in there somewhere) in there somewhere.
If you do a search on microsoft web site ther is some info about using a PC as an internet share for other PCs but you have to use a very specific IP address rnge for this and set the share PC up in a certain way
I am getting ready to head on vacation and I want to use my 8525 as my "Gateway" as there will be 5 of us with laptops and I want to share my 3G connection so here is what I did. I connect my 8525 to my Laptop via usb, I start internet sharing on the 8525 and in my laptop (vista) under network connections I see Local Area Connection 6, remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. I right click this connection and select Sharing, and enable internet connection sharing on it. Then what I did was took my router (linksys) and disabled dhcp, but enabled wireless and didnt set any wep or wpa. I connect from my laptop to a port on the router (not the internet port) and then goto another laptop to see if I have internet. I dont, I can see the ssid, I can connect but I do not have internet access. Should I use a crossover cable? What do I have to do so that all of us can have internet thru my phone? Oh, my laptop does have internet (from the usb connection on the phone). I tried to setup the router so that dhcp was enabled, but then I kept getting an ip conflict error, so we cant do that. Also I am not getting an ip on the wireless, it has an ip of like 169.254.177.12.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jim
There a software which you can install on 8525 and turn it into a wifi internet sharing but I don't know if it capable of handing up to 5 laptops. You might be able to use this software and get a router with some custom firmware which allow bridging then set it up to have router access the internet from 8525 wifi and share it among the 5 laptops but I am not sure if you could bridging and do wifi AP on the same router if not then you'll probably need to have 2 router one to bridge from 8525 wifi and then connect cable to another router that will be an AP for the laptops.
That would be my best guess of doing this unless one of the laptop can do AP via wifi when 8525 is plugged into usb slot.

Hello!
I have connected phone to PC and set 'internet sharing' on the phone, to have internet access on the desktop. It works well.
Then I connected other PC to that PC, both through LAN cards and set up home network.
Then I wanted to set up ICS (internet connection sharing) on the host PC, to access internet also on the other PC.
Problem is, that ICS is by default using address 192.168.0.1, which you can't change in winXP. And also my phone is connected to the host PC with the same address, which if I change, I loose internet connection on host PC.
How can I change this address which phone uses to connect to PC?
semi-bump.
Current setup: cable modem w/ wireless beams connection to my PC via wireless LAN. Modem is 192.168.0.1 on LAN, I'm .9, static. I want to setup ICS from my PC to my mob by bluetooth, as the wireless connection in my room is awful so I have to have a USB wireless adapter snaking under the door & out into the hallway.
Problem: ICS setup wants to host the service on 192.168.0.1 but that's the router & can't be changed. Is there any other way to do this? Cheers anyone.
can i circumvent this by connecting to the pc using bluetooth via activesync? won't i still need to setup ICS in the bluetooth config, or does activesynch overrule it?
You see, my laptop can see my wireless signal but my PDA can't when in the same room as my laptop.
I have two routers (and wiring the second router from the first and using it as an access point isn't an option).
Is there any way I can send the wireless signal from my laptop obtained from the parent router to the other wireless router (through an ethernet cable) and then connect my PDA to the second router as an access point?
Thanks,
You should be able to just bridge the connections in windows.
So if I attach a router with no internet connection to my laptop (which has a wireless connection from a second router) via an ethernet cable, I should be able to detect it in My Network Places as a LAN connection and then bridge the connection with the wireless signal my laptop gets, which would then allow the router to transmit that signal wirelessly as it would if I connected it directly via an ethernet cable to the parent router and used it as an access point?
I just feel like there's too much magic behinds the scenes that Windows needs to do for that to work out. I'd be super happy if that works though, I'll try it when I get home!
I tried connecting the router from the LAN and WAN port and bridging my wireless connection with the LAN connection from the router connected to my laptop. In both cases (through LAN and WAN ports on the wired router), I was not able to connect to the original wireless signal after I bridged the connections.
Hi everyone,
I have Ideos X5 and I cannot connect to wireless internet shared by my PC. I share my computer's internet from network and sharing center using "Set up a new connection or network". Whatever securiy type I've chosen (none, wep, wpa) I cannot even see the shared connection in the wireless networks list on my phone. I can easly connect to wireless networks shared by access points or wireless modems but as I said I cannot connenct to the wireless connection shared by my PC. My PC uses ethernet cable to connect to internet.
Thanks in advance
Solved
I solved the problem with a third party wireless hotspot software instead of using windows' default wireless internet share method.
Can you explai who you did it?
Just searh for virtual router in google
The windows sharing doesnt create an AP (Acess Point) it creates an ad-hoc network, so in order to connect with you phone you have to use an software that creates an AP... one case of that software is: virtual router
