Reverse tether rhodium400?

Is there any way to share an internet connection on my PC for use in my android TP2? Unfortunately for me I cannot use adhoc networks and only connection I have is through USB cable? does any one know if reverse-tethering is possible?

Do you have a wifi card in your PC? Otherwise, I'm not aware of any way to do that... EasyTether I think only works in one direction, but the concept would be similar.

Sure you can... grab a trial of current "wmwifirouter"(not wifirouter)..

You can do Usbto3G if I remember right, sorry in Xdandroid right now and don't wanna switch over to check it.. but WMwifirouter has 6 different tethering option.. I know for sure one let's you take the connection from your Machine and tether via usb to the device

Ooops, guess you meant while in Android huh...

Just another thing Android CAN'T do that WinMo can

I think he means in the other direction. As in his phone has no data connection, and he wants to get a data connection on his phone...

Exactly.... winMO and wmwifirouter can do that..

I've never looked for a winMO app...

Curious as to why adhoc isn't supported... if OP thinks its his tp2, that's easily fixed with the wpa_supplicant mod...

I dunno whhat OS version it started (or maybe stopped) in but Desktop Machines can go into adhoc mode and give up its connection... that's why I wonder why OP feels he can't use adhoc.. hmmmm

OP chime in

I think, in WM active sync can handle internet connections. But now a days, due to really stable builds, I spend most of my time in Android

and so many apps use internet

In my office where I am interested in using the phone, I don't get any reception and only have a desktop without any wireless card to create ad-hoc connections.
