[Q] Want to share PC DSL connection with my Vibrant. How can I do it?

---

Hi Guys. Need a little help.

Scenario: I have a wired ADSL connection in my home for internet. I have Windows 7 on my PC installed. I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G WiFi card in my PC as well.

Now, I want to share my PC's ADSL connection with my Vibrant through my WiFi card.

So far, I have failed to achieve it. I have tried doing it the TP-Link way by establishing a Soft AP through a software provided by them, but no success. I have tried connectify, no luck here either. My vibrant detects the network but never connects to it...

Any help, what so ever will be really appreciated...

Easiest way, get a $30 router at your local store. Will save you a headache. Otherwise bridge your wired and wireless connection using windows.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Well what you will need to do is allow ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the wired NIC card and allow other users to share the connection. It should DHCP the wired NIC and assign your wireless card an IP address like 192.168.137.1 and Subnet of 255.255.255.0.

Actually I don't want to buy a new router, want to use my WiFi card. And it is possible through it, so I think I should not spend money on a router...

I have tried everything... ICS is not working... Connectify is not working either...

There is some way of doing it through Adhoc network, I read somewhere but I have also read that Adhoc network is not supported in Android...

If someone can help, that would be great...

Odd because I'm doing ICS via Windows 7 and mine works perfectly..

***Edit...you might have to add in the default gateway ip and primary dns server ip on the wireless card for it to look for your wired NIC
just right click on your wired NIC and go to status and then details

Hmm... I am going to try this but do I share the internet with my WiFi card or the Virtual WiFi Miniport?

You share the wired NIC "allow other users to connect " it will act as your DHCP server and assign an address to your wireless card

Nothing is happening for me...

My Vibrant detects the WiFi AP but does not connect to it... It evens show the signal strength to be "Excellent" but does not connect to it...

Man... Its really frustrating when you can not get something to work...

So it just wont connect period?? Not even to network? Or will it connect and just no internet.... Hmmmmm

It just wont connect. Period...

Thanks for your willingness to help though...
