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
- 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
- Connect to Wi-Fi using your password
- Disable and Enable Wi-Fi (in case if it won’t connect)
- 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)

nice article. yhx for sharing 🙂
actually, my wifi adapter in my laptop is not capable of creating a access point…! i can only create ad-hoc connections… in tat case, my spica does not recognize the ad-hoc network tat i try to connect… wat is the alternative….?
Hi Naren,There is a method on how to enable adhoc connection in forum.samdroid.net. Sorry i forgot the link, you can search there. Hope it helps you

Is there a way to do the same connection to a Linux netbook with Ubuntu?
have no idea about that, never experiment it on ubuntu. This guide only for windows 7 and specific to wireless chipset.
im using windows 7, and i succeeded to share internet between my pc and phone.. But is it possible to share internet from my modem on my pc to more than one android phone? thanks..
Yes its posibble to connect more than one phone.
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 ?
Regards
Anthoni
You can access the pc that has apache running by using its IP on browser.
Hi lorenz,
I’ve got it solved. There was a configuration problem with my router that was blocking my phone from communicating with my pc.
okay…:-)
hey anthony,
i want to do exactly the same thing that you did.
how did you accomplish that?
Thanks Lorenz…You made my day boy
Was desperately looking to achieve this.
I had installed connectify…But the fixed IP settings did the trick.
Thanks so much
Lovely Guide
You Rock !!!!
You’re welcome ..:-)
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
Did you use Google DNS server in your wifi settings? Try to use default DNS server (the one that come from your provider, 10.0.0.138?)
Hey you can try putting in the address 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 and try….these r the globally accepted dns’s
hi lorenz will this also work with LAN?
Hi how do i share my PC’s internet connection with Xperia X10 phone. plz help. i want to browse broadband on phone since i dont have access to wifi.

Hi, Thanks for the great share. I try it using my Xperia X8. I can open facebook and browse through android market. The only problem is I can’t download from Android Market. Is there any other setting I might have missed?
Thanks a lot
Try to delete market cache under Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Market
gracias
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.
Yes you’re right, new connectify also has dhcp, so no need to set static ip.
Thank you very much. I tried Virtual Router and it didn’t work, but Connectify ran so smoothly. Thanks again.
How to Record my conversation calls from Galaxy GT-I9000 ?
Wow, i did it backwards, tethering from my cellphone to laptop 🙂
This was SUPER USEFUL. Helped me connect all my devices (laptop, phone, PS3). Can’t believe these instructions are not provided on connectify’s site. Thank you!!!
What if I’m using Windows Vista. Do you know a solution?
I had a Nokia E63 that has no problems connecting to ad-hoc wireless networks with internet sharing made from my laptop.
Now, with my Android phone I can’t create a wireless connection with my laptop. I have a sony vaio with windows vista and a htc desire hd with android.
Hi Lorenz, very nice article.
I’ve been trying to connect my Xperia to my laptop internet via wi-fi and it’s been unsuccessful since my laptop is Vista and not window 7. Now, is it possible to get my laptop internet wired onto my Android Xperia phone via USB connection?
I don’t think it is posible 😉
i am using connectify 2.1 and trying to sharing my broadband but its not assigning me ip address even though connectify read mac address of my device. i have tried static ip, gateway and dns but none worked.
i am having htc mt 3g with froyo 2.2
how do i connect my huawei ideos u8150 so that i can access internet.i have established a hotspot but when i try to access internet on my phone i cant.the ip address of my laptop is 192.168.16.200.pliz give the steps
Have your phone got ip address from laptop?
Thanks for the info Lorenz!
Well I have a scenario wherein,
I want to share my wired LAN connection (dial up type) with my Samsung Galaxy S, through a Wireless Adapter (dont want to invest in Wireless Router), is this possible?
Also can I share my phone’s 3G connection with my PC through a Wireless Adapter?
Hi lorenz,
I have just bought an Android tablet, Archos 70 at http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_70it/index.html?country=us&lang=en . I installed Connectify and run it as this http://images.yume.vn/photo/pictures/20110211/suppermouse/origin/connectify_1200394320.jpg . But my android tablet don’t see the ad hoc wifi of my laptop.
Is there any way to share the ad hoc wifi of laptop to my android tablet? Pls help me.
Hai Mai
soidamientrung@gmail.com
the network cant be detected by my android i cant find it ???
hi
tanx alot
mu phone is X10 mini pro, and in my phone dont exit advance setting meno in Wi-Fi Settings to enter IP-addres
please help me to use this method
lorenz …
i still wait for your answer 🙁
Hello
Sorry for the late reply. Latest version of Connectify supports dynamic ip, all connected device will get ip address automatically. You don’t have to enter ip address manually.
hey it didnt work i dont know what is the problem but i cant see the network on my android ??????
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,
i am trying to connect to hotspot via connectify (created in my desktop pc) from my samsung galaxy 3 froyo but not success. i can see network from the phone but i can not connect. phone is trying to connect to the network but allways get disconnected. also from laptop i can not connect to this network.
i have usb wifi alfa with chipset RTL8187 which is in the supported list of devices…
I also have the same problem on my Nexus one, my solution is kill the connectify service (from task manager) than start it again (sometimes it may take 2-3 times)
its not working for me. client get connected to connectify for few seconds but then it is going to disconnect. the similar situation is with Virtual router. virtual router software gets started for few second but then it is disconnect.
My PC goes to a blue screen when i start sharing on Connectify.
It says “No AP mode supported”
Meaning the wireless chip in my laptop is not compatible, right? Mine is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection.
Does it mean this method cannot be used?
Then what should I do??
Thanks before
Yes, you can not use this method if your wireless chip is not supported.
Hi, after i insert the information in settings, i click on start virtual router, but the error message is virtual router could not be started. i wonder why. am using window 7 ultimate and virtual router manager v0.9 beta and samsung galaxy 3.

i have tried it on my Galaxy Ace but it won’t work with either of the two.. although it shows the device is connected but wifi is not working..
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.
Hey! is there a way to do the same in Windows vista???
I searched a lot a but only found apps for windows…if you know anything about VISTA do lemme knw.
Hi,
Sorry, currently this feature only for windows 7
HI,
I AM USING WINDOWS 7 WITH LOCAL AREA NETWORK, WHICH HAVE STATIC IP, GATEWAY AND DNS.
I AM ABLE TO CONNECT VIA CONNECTY-FI, BUT NOT INTERNET. JUST IT GET CONNECTED.
PLEASE HELP ME…
Hi,
Try to kill the process and start it again. Disconnect then connect the wifi connection on the phone. Check if the phone get ip address from connectify.
I am using connectify to connect my samsung galaxy ace with android 2.2.1 but its not able to detect. Can you help ?
Maybe your Wifi chip is not supported by connectify. Check the support page on Connectify website.
Great post. Worked perfect!
Thanks.
i have a sony aino. but i am not able to use internet on it while using connectify.
my laptop is hp probook 4410s.
please guide me!!!
Hi, make sure your wifi card is supported by connectify.
http://www.connectify.me/support/index.php?act=article&code=view&id=13
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.
hey,
I am using connectify to connect my samsung galaxy SL i9003 with android 2.2.1 but its not able to detect. But my other mobile (Nokia N8) works perfectly fine…..
Try to disconnect and connect the wifi on Android. If the problem still exists, try to kill the connectify process on Windows then start it again.
i tryed disconnection and reconnection wifi on android (samsung galaxy sL) but with no luck, also killed the connectify process on windows and restarted my pc lot of time……but i am not even able to detect wifi on my mobile (only ahod other works fine)……and i can do the same with my nokia n8
Have you checked the connectify supported devices ?
hi,
as Harshal Patel said, i also have the same problem, i did all the required setup and the compatibility with connectify also. i have htc wildfire 2.2.1, wifi is discoverable by nokia 5800 but is invisible for my handset. please provide the solution.
actlly i hav an android phone and i want to share my internet over my wifii lappy…
finally i have found a software for this without even installing this…it is..
“mhotspot”
u can try this….www.mhotspot.com

Hi,
I’m using a flash modem to get connected to a wireless connection. I thought i would use this fantastc feature and brows internet in my mobile.
The problem that I’m facing even after uninstalling connectfy is that when I try to connect to the internet through my wireless flash modem it doesn’t work out and keeps being Idial. Think something has changed and would really appreciate it if you please could advise about this problem.

Hi Guys,
I have recently bought Acer Iconia A500, i tried creating a access point using connectify on my system and I’m able to detect and connect to the the SSID on the tab but not able to browse or connect to the Internet.
Someone please help.
used connectify, works well..
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
Realy I don’t know how thank you

Used this guide today (2011-09-09) with Virtual Router, worked seamlessly without the need to set static IPs on either of the devices (no zeroconf either, both IPs under subnet 192.168.137.0/8)
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
Thanks for the instructions 🙂 You’re a life saver!
Hi Breno, you’re welcome and thanx for sharing the specs.
succesfully tested in ivio DE88. thank you
Worked perfectly on google htc nexus one using virtual router.
Many thanks to you.
It works perfectly on my devices:SAMSUNG GALAXY Fit and hp ProBook 4520s using virtual router. Thank you lorenz!
Whenever I tried connecting my android device with Connectify it would show “obtaining IP address” and disconnect.
Your solution has helped me to overcome this. I used the static IP and it worked for me.
Thanks a lot for the help 🙂

Hi Razik, have u tried this tuto?

sorry i meant static IP has been set…. pls help me to solve the prob… thanks guys
the connectivity worked on my Samsung galaxy 5 but virtual router did not. Thanks a lot.
Hi, I am a bit of a newbie at this and couldnt find where to get all the details. I installed Virtual Router but got ‘Virtual router could not be started’so I found this page:
http://chaihaoqiang.blogspot.com/2011/04/quick-to-virtual-router-could-not-be.html
That got Virtual Router to start and to show up on both the Galaxy S2 and PC’s Virtaul Router (Win7) but the PC says could not find Ip address. I could not all the info in your instructions – where do you get IP address etc etc. Thanks so much , cheers Graham
Hi Graham, i suggest you to install the latest version of Connectify, thats more updated than virtual router 😉
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer and help me. I’m using a Galaxy S2 and Win 7 Asus 1015 netbook. 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

Hi, is there any solution for Windows XP SP3 or similar?
I have samsung galaxy fit and acer aspire one laptop. my phone connects to WiFi using connectify 3.1 . it shows excellent strength and all but inspite of this the net is not working no site is loading whats the problem?

Works flawlessly. Thank you!

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
Thanks!!! Exactly what I was looking for!!! Works great!!!
Thanx Q so much!! 😉 🙂 Kudos!
Connectify is very good. Two minutes and connection was made in my dell laptop and samsung galaxy ace has now wifi connection. Super good info!!!
my samsung galaxy tab does not have “use static ip address” button.please help. my tab is wifi only and it is useless without an ad-hoc connection from my laptop. additionally my internet connection comes through proxy and i think there are more problems to come in future.
thanks
Hi. Im really interested in using my computer’s internet for my android phone.. First tried Virtual Router Manager, but when I click “Start Virtual Router”, I would get a message “Virtual Router Could Not Be Started”. So I tried Connectify, but it only crashes my comp when I try to click start. 🙁 Why won’t atleast Virtual R.M. start? 🙁
Hi,
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.
the best work great for my laptop and android phone.. keep it up dude! =)
Thanks!!!!
I like the most…
its working great…
Great..
YES THIS IS WORKING THANKS BUDDY .

hi teche. this is super and working at one try.
thanks
for all those who can connect to wifi but not internet, turn on the internet sharing option on your broadband connection and select wireless network connection 2…it sure will work
No, I have done exactly that but it is not working. ON SGS2 internet does not work, but at the moment of connection some downloads do happen, this means it gets connected and then is getting disconnected.
step 1. disable your firewall
step 2. unchecked everything from wireless network connection 2 except for internet protocol version 4
step3. disconnect your broadband and go to proprieties and select from sharing tab in home networking conections “wireless network connection 2”
step4. connect broadband
step5. it might not show internet connectivity for the wireless connection 2 but check for internet on your phone
Tell me if it working, it worked for me
I tried setting the sharing for my Local Connection to Wireless Connection 2. The name of my wireless network shows up but it says no network access. I even tried many other wifi software like Connectify and manually using the cmd but still nothing. Any suggestions?
thankyou . the VirtualWiFiRouter_2.0.1.5 is worked .
thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou
It says virtual router could not be started
I thing if you install virtual reuter and connectify it will be conflict.
the virtual reuter will no longer work.
but it can be redo with windows recovery and recover from previous time before you install them.
my virtual router used to work before but now it doesnt..
says
Virtual router beta has stopped workingg.
any help would be awesome.
Virtual Router is working fine….Getting the wifi connection b/w phone and Laptop, But only google search is working no other website is opening on phone.Every webite or web based application throws up the error that “web page is not available”
PLz help
Disabled all firewalls…..
No change….
It works like a charm!!!. After 1 hour of struggling with internet and windows 7 at last.
will it work for windows vista as well??
you don’t have to install any other software. Just to create a virtual WIFI network. very simple. Connectify will make PC run slowly. pls see this page:

HI ,
if you are connected to the internet through proxy put the proxy IP and port in settings–> wifi — >advanced–> proxy
Thanks for this great post. I didn’t have to enter any of the IP settings. I just connected straight to the virtual router wi-fi connection entered the password and i’m good to go.

I still have not been successful
Hi bros,
I’ve used command lines to create the Wifi hotspot in Windows and I’ve connected to it from Android successfully but I still couldn’t get the internet access. I tried disabling all firewalls, antivirus softwares… but no luck at all.
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
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
entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Thanks. It’s work correctly with Virtual Router.
you can even use, mHotspot(it doesnot require installation). its is very lite (400kb).
Good, It’s work. Thanks a lot !
Thanks 🙂 working normally
