Default AD-HOC Connection in ICS

Hello all,

From other ICS devices I own and follow (and don't worry I know all about the wpa_supplicant issue) I was wondering if anyone has been successful in sharing their laptops internet with the phone?

Case: I at work have an unrestricted internet line, I can't connect a wireless router but I could share my internet via the wireless of my laptop (ad-hoc). Has anyone succeeded in doing this?

Thank you.

If there's an app for that (lol) I'll take it, I'm rooted and ready to go. I just need to know which one, been searching and no luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, I found the app and downloaded it but didn't work on my phone, it gave an error in the las segment because it cant find the system group "wifi" in my phone. For what I can see the dev stopped updating this app, in my eyes its a shame because that could of been very useful and profitable for him at the same time.

This has been now a life long quest for me since upgrading my Xoom to ICS. I would have perfect connection with GB so I know our hardware supports it, but as of ICS they changed the drivers... I would personally pay for an app / option like this and I know that many others would as well.

Lightbulb wifi adhoc

Make your laptop wifi hotspot

Run dos as administrator and type as follows
netsh
wlan
set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="name" key="password"

start hostednetwork

show hostednetwork

stop hostednetwork


IMP:- It works on windows 7 and 8 only

Thank you for your help!

I followed your instructions and I got the wireless network up and running. When I try to connect my phone to it (Evo 4g LTE) the phone sees the network, asks for the password, tries to connect but keeps disconnecting and connecting constantly nonstop.

Any suggestions?
