Sharing of internet connection between computers or between a computer and a smartphone (with WiFi capability) using Wifi Ad-Hoc Networking is popular. But this form of networking is not supported by Android devices.
Instead there are methods using a software based virtual access point like Windows Seven’s Wireless Hosted Network technology, Virtual Router Manager and Connectify. Windows Seven’s Wireless Hosted Network only runs on windows seven and hardware specific. Virtual Router Manager didn’t work for me. Therefore, I used connectify (newer 2.2 version didn’t work, I used an older version 1.2) and successfully shared my data card connection between my DELL PC with Windows 7) and my android device (Samsung Galaxy Y).
Follow the Steps Below with Screen Shots :
On your computer (Laptop/Desktop):
1. Download Connectify 1.2.rar Extract and install it. Once complete, you can access Connectify from the icon in the Taskbar
3. Click on “Start Hotspot” to start sharing
4. On your Wireless Connection Status, click Details to get the network connection information, note the IPV4 Address
On your Android device:
5. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi Settings
6. Open Advance settings menu
7. Select the Use static IP option
8. Enter your desired IP address (For example: 192.168.2.2) into Ip Address field
9. Enter your IPV4 Address (For example: 192.168.2.1) into Gateway field
10. Enter 255.255.255.0 into Netmask field
11. 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 alternatively use Google Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
12. Connect to Wi-Fi using your password
13. Disconnect and Reconnect Wi-Fi (or Restart your Android device), if it doesn’t connect.
14. Check your internet connection on your Android device using a browser
15. When you go back to the Windows 7 machine you can see the device(s) connected. It also keeps track of devices that were previously connected as well.
