How to Share Internet Connection Between PC and Android Phone Using WiFi

May 5, 2010 by Lorensius Londa 370 Comments

WiFi Ad-Hoc Networking is a popular method to share internet connection between  computers (pc or laptop) or between a computer and a smartphone that has built in WiFi. Unfortunately, this method of networking is not supported by Android since it was released until the time of this writting. One of the popular method to enable ad hoc mode on Android devices is by  changing a WiFi configuration file located on /system/etc directory called tiwlan.ini. But this method is specific to phone’s WiFi chipset and you need root access to change the file. The tiwlan.ini is a configuration file for Texas Instruments WiFi chipset (e.g HTC dream) so you will not find it on Samsung Spica that use Broadcom WiFi chipset.

Another alternative method is by using a software based virtual access point that using Windows 7’s Wireless Hosted Network technology. This method only runs on Windows 7 and hardware specific. Currently i found two best virtual access point softwares, Virtual Router and Connectify. They both operate in the same maner and very easy to use. I have tested both of them to share internet connection from my PC that used  Sierra Wireless USBConnect 881 modem for internet access and an external TP-Link TL-WN31G Wireless USB adapter with my Samsung Spica.

Here is the guide on how to use virtual router and connectify

On Windows 7 Box:

    • Download and install Virtual Router or Connectify, you can try one of them. They are hardware specific so read the documentation on their websites about the supported WiFi devices.
    • Fill in the settings panel with your prefered WiFi name, password and internet connection to share
Virtual Router

Connectify
Connectify
    • Click start button to start sharing
    • On your Wireless Connection Status, click Details to get the network connection information, note the IPV4 Address

On Android Device

[ad]

    • Go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi Settings
    • Open Advance settings menu
    • Tick the Use static IP option
    • Enter your desired IP address (ex: 192.168.2.2)  into Ip Address field
    • Enter your IPV4 Address (ex. 192.168.2.1) into Gateway field
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 into Netmask field
    • Enter your internet connection’s DNS server (use ipconfig /all command to get DNS info) into DNS 1 and DNS 2. As an alternative, you can use Google Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Wifi Static IP Setting

    • Connect to Wi-Fi using your password
    • Disable and Enable Wi-Fi (in case if it won’t connect)
Android Wi-Fi
Android Wi-Fi
  • Check the connection using browser or other application.

Update:

Latest version of Connectify uses dhcp so it is unnecessary to use static ip on Android.

If you have trouble while using Virtual Router or Connectify, please check if your wifi card is supported or read the documentation or disccussion on their support page.

Supported devices: Virtual Router | Connectify

Documentation and support: Virtual Router | Connectify

Troubleshooting:

If you can’t connect to internet though the client already connected to the hotspot (connectify or virt.router), these are the possible solutions:

  • Try to disable antivirus or firewall
  • Try to stop and start the hotspot
  • Try to kill the hotspot process using task manager and restart the hotspot
  • Try to disable and enable wifi on Android
  • Check if your wifi card supported by the hotspot (check the reference sites above)

    I’ve got my phone connected to my Wifi router (broadband router) and I can browse the internet etc.

    What I am wanting to do though is run Apache on my PC and have my phone browse the site on Apache, but I can’t for the life in me get this working. I’ve searched all over and still no avail.

    Anyone know how to do this ?

    Hi lorenz,

    I have my HTC connected to my laptop using Conectify, they send and recieve data over the wireless link but there’s a problem with the DNS queries that my HTC does.

    When I try to access to a webpage using its DNS alias it doesn’t work, but when I try to connect to the IP of this web site it works OK.

    I installed Wireshark to analyze what was happening and I noticed that the DNS queries that my HTC does are in a strange format. Here’s a screenshot of my capture:

    http://img696.imageshack.us/f/24452393.jpg/

    As you can see, there are many attemps to 2 different DNS hosts to try to obtain the IP of the site. The courious thing is that the query does not have the same standard DNS query format as it should have ( http://img153.imageshack.us/i/ss2cc.jpg/ )

    Some ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Walter

    Just a quick note – used this info today with Virtual Router and apparently no need to set static ip. dhcp seemed to kick in and assign the phone an ip on the correct network and valid dns. Running windows 7 on dell latitude e6500 talking to a dell streak on froyo 2.2.

      Make sure the connectify runs properly and if you still don’t see the network on android, maybe your wifi adapter is not supported by connectify. Checkout this page, is your device supported by connectify? http://www.connectify.me/docs/supportedcards.html

      Hi,

      If you are using Connectify, try to kill the process and start it again. Disconnect and connect the wifi connection on the phone. Check if the phone get ip address from connectify.

        lorenz,
        Hi. Have you ever come across a situation where even though a static ip is set on the phone (exact steps as you showed), and even when the phone is shown on connectify as a connected client, the ip address that is shown on connectify (which is a dhcp one), is NOT the static ip addr that was set on the phone. *switching Wifi on/off on the phone doesnt solve it, neither does killing/rerunning connectify on the laptop.

        I noticed also that the dhcp ip shown on connectify for the phone is in a different subnet from the dhcp ip that’s on the ‘primary’ wifi card (that’s connected to the wifi router).

        Puzzling. Like to hear your comments definitely… thanks.

          Hi Richard,

          I never had that problem. Connectify always works well, sometimes it get connected but can’t browse, the solution is just to kill the process or ON/oFF the wifi. I’ve tested it on Samsung Spica, Nexus One and Nexus S and it works well.

        Hi, this is from connectify support site, hope it helps you

        First, make sure that you have selected your actual Internet connection in the Internet dropdown of Connectify, being sure to apply any changes that you make.

        If you are still having issues, please consult the Firewall section for additional tips.

        If you are sharing an Internet source from a device other than your Wi-Fi card, Windows may be turning off the hotspot device to save power. To disable this, in the Connectify tray icon’s Support menu, go to ‘Network Connections’. From here, right-click on the Microsoft Virtual Miniport Adapter and click on Properties, then click on the ‘Configure’ button in the ‘Networking’ tab. From this window, go to the ‘Power Management’ tab and uncheck ‘Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power’.

        Also be sure that you are using the most up-to-date drivers available for your wireless card. You may find updated drivers via Windows Update. Many times Windows Update does not have the latest drivers and you may need to check with your laptop or wireless device manufacturer to find them.

        This failure is tied to the device drivers of your wireless card, and a permanent fix for this can only come from your wireless device’s manufacturer.

    1- u’ll need to share internet from “sharing” tab on your default internet connection
    2- no need to put in ip/dns as stated, no need to put on static

    I have a problem with internet sharing. I tried to make an adhoc connection but at finish I receive the error that I dont have permissions to sharing the connection. I connect to internet trough pppoe connection and I use on my laptop Win 7. What I must do to share internet for my LG P500 Android 2.3.3 phone?

      Hi, there is an issue regarding blue screen, you can read it here: http://www.connectify.me/support/index.php?act=article&code=view&id=10

      Users that are experiencing Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) issues, are encouraged to follow the steps outlined below, as Microsoft has issued two hot-fixes for related issues. One of the fixes has been included in Service Pack 1, and the other was not, so users must download and install both separately.
      To get the up-to-date fixes from Microsoft:

      1. Install Windows 7, Service Pack 1. Here are Microsoft’s instruction on how to check if you already have it, and how to install if you don’t: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/learn-how-to-install-windows-7-service-pack-1-sp1

      2. Download and install the Hotfix for KB2496820 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2496820) from: http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2496820&kbln=en-us

    i have samsung gt-s5670 and a dell inspiron. i wanted to make my laptop to work as a hot spot and so i downloaded the connectify sofware. i’m struggling through the following problems-
    1. Once i run connectify prog i’m unable to connect to the internet via my broadband connection which works perfectly when there is no connectifier.
    2. i don’t know that what shall i fill in the internet column of the connectifier.

    In short, i have spent hours to make my lapi work as a hot spot but gained simply nothing..

    Specs:
    – ASUS A42F/K42F Notebook
    – Windows 7 Home Basic
    – Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (Built-in)
    – Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100); Android Gingerbread 2.3.3

Installed the latest version of Connectify and figured out all the settings using the Static IP (didnt work), then tried unticking Static Ip. It says connecting, then either goes to disconnecting or remembered. The Connectify hotspot seems to be running – it says ‘stop hotspot’ so I guess it is running. Cheers, Graham

    I see the Win7 solution everywhere (as Win 7 natively supports it), however I’d still like to make an access point from my older Dell laptop running Win XP SP3.

    Hi, is there any solution for Windows XP SP3 or similar?

      hi soham
      i had similar problem previously.
      but now my connection is working what i discovered is connectify needs a lot of tweeking but virtual router has no configuring just install and vala it works with the above mentioned steps. abut virtual souter not staring i had this problem also just re install it it will work. also disable ur firewall or this option worked for me just go to firewall settings in ur antivirus or firewall and click allow net sharing, this is in addition to the the net sharing u would do in the lan adapter settings.

    I am trying to do reverse tethering. Windows 7 on notebook, tried connectify w/o success because free version doesn’t support mobile broadband, successfully using both virtual router online setup and mhotspot. However, I only managed to sync emails, logon to fring, skype, gtalk, etc, but cannot surf internet using browsers. What’s the issue and how to remedy?

    Was trying to use static IP but can’t enter the DNS shown, which are:
    fec0:0:0:ffff::1%2
    fec0:0:0:ffff::2%2
    fec0:0:0:ffff::3%2

    I used connecitfy to connect the wifi to my android 2.3 device. The phone displays the wifi network but could not connect with it.
    I used your tip of static ip also but it is not useful.

    However, I successfully connected my other lap top with the connectify wifi hot spot.

    Can you please help me on this.. is there any software we can load to the android phone to detect the correct ip address to connect with the adhoc network.

    I have an internet connection on the PC that requires a proxy. How can I hide the proxy to my tablet? Is it even possible, or is there another approach?

    There is no need of using any software. You can do it without any application. This can be done only with the help of microsoft inbuild commands from command prompt. If you are using windows 7, then follow the steps described in this link.

    She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is

    This is a frustrating situation that can lead
    to the loss of characters, items, and many hours of work.
    Some people have very specific wants when
    it comes to their GPS-enabled devices, like the need to let specific people to know where a certain user is.
    The good folks over at Sony headquarters are well aware
    of the PS3 jailbreak and are working on a
    firmware update that’ll render that expensive PS3 jailbreak of yours useless.
