Tethering Using My Android Phone?
Apr 2, 2013
Unfortunately, despite my best efforts to find a better alternative, where I live my only option for unlimited internet with any speed whatsoever is to tether my DROID DNA phone to my computer using the app PdaNet. I've been doing this for over a year now without any problems.I have an unlimited data plan through Verizon and although I only have 3G at my house, it is still far better than anything else I've found.
Recently I started playing the online game World of Warcraft. Obviously the speed isn't ideal, but it worked perfectly fine for about 3 weeks. One night the game started to get really slow and after a minute or two would freeze up entirely. When this happened, I would have an error message on my phone at the PdaNet screen that read "Communication with client has been broken." Despite restarting things, this continued to happen. I assumed that it was because the weather was bad outside, but the problem didn't go away the next day. When I noticed that my internet speed when browsing the web had slowed down as well I figured that although I supposedly have unlimited data, that Verizon must have slowed me down for crossing over a certain download barrier. I've heard that they do this.
So this went on for the next week until the first of the month when my data was reset through Verizon. Well I'm still having the same issue when trying to play the game. It will work alright for anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and then all of a sudden start to get slower and slower until it freezes completely and I have the "Communication with client has been broken" error screen on my phone. I'm not sure if my internet speed in general is back to normal or not because I haven't spent enough time online to know for sure, but at the moment it seems to be.

If I tether my computer to my phone and use the 3G networks IP address, trace the IP to my phone number if they really wanted to? Or am I completely anonymous because whatever tower I'm connected to, thats the designated IP for that tower and there could be dozens of people on that tower's IP as well?

For some weeks I have been trying to pair my Samsung Galaxy S2 with my Lenovo Thankpad SL500. The consistent message is "Unable to pair with [laptop]. Incorrect PIN or PASSWORD.
Well which is? PIN? or PASSWORD? - or does the system not know, so it's taking a guess? If it doesn't know, how can I possibly know?
Having read many articles about his on the www, I am still none the wiser as to what is causing this. What's wrong with the PIN or PASSWORD - is it too hot, or too cold? Wrong font face, colour or size? Wrong latitiude, longitude or elevation? Wrong time of day or month? Are the auspices in general not favourable? Am I facing in the wrong direction as I type? Have I chosen the wrong weight/color of paper for my printer? Is my body odor unacceptable? Is the length of grass in my lawn not quite right? Oh, the number of options is so large - where does one start?
Oh, and before I forget - assuming I can find what constitutes a correct PIN or PASSWORD, where does one set it? btw pairing this phone with the media player in my 10 year old car works immediately and flawlessly!

I am trying to connect to my office wifi which uses a proxy server. Scenario 1: I am using Samsung Bada (wave 1), connected to the internet successfully and also any applications that require an internet connection including Samsung's app store. While, connecting via open networks like home wifi and other friends' wifi also worked without any issue. Scenario 2: Now I also have an android based Galaxy pocket: even after entering all the required proxy setting as mentioned above, I can access websites via browser but cannot access samsung's app store, google's play store, skype, sipdroid etc. I know it is nothing to do with the network administration as I am still accessing via my samsung wave but not via android. Is there anything like a network profile I need to assign for these applications?

I have time warner cable, they have a service where you can watch TV on your hand held devices.. Only issue is, you have to be on your home network. since thats fairly pointless since if i am home i am watching the 60 inch... i was trying to use VPN to get inside of my network to effectivly fool the app to thinking i was on my home network.

I recently purchased a Cisco RV180W VPN router and would like to enable the VPN (specifically IPSec) capabilities so that I can connect via my Android 4.0 (Samsung Galaxy S3) phone. I need step by step instructions (I'm quite unfamiliar with Cisco routers) to configure both the router and my Android phone to do this. I've actually been able to configure the RV180W to work with PPTP (and connect via my phone with PPTP), but would prefer to use IPSec.

I've got a Samsung Epic 4G and whenever I leave the wifi connected on my phone at home, it seems to never go into sleep so the battery drains overnight doing nothing. If I turn off wifi and leave it on the 3G network, battery barely drains at all. Is there something in my router that could be keeping my phone awake when it's connected. I've tested it on a friends wifi network and my phone sleeps just fine, it's only when I'm connected to my DIR-655.

I have CUWN, WLC 5508 is installed and APs are 1142. Network is working fine but I am facing the problem with Android phone which are not browsing for internet.
Android phones connectes with wi-fi, it takes IP from DHCP well, which is pingable from any node of network. even I got be GUI of WLC on Android, but when it goes to browes for internet the message displayed " Page cannot be disply".
In same scenario if configure the Public IP on Android Phone (Via DHCP or Static) then it runs the internet smoothly.

I have seen examples to set up ad hoc so m laptop can host wireless for android and wifiCam however i have routerA, RouterB, and pocket stick.when connected to routerA my laptop connects to RouterA which goes to network, so does android,RouterB has no WAN to connect to so i use laptop to pocket stick, which is where i need ad hoc to connect android to pocket stick, I dont want to use android sim network. and cam needs to have local,I wonder is there a way to make my laptop smart so it hosts hoc by default and maybe feeds WAN to RouterB, unless it is able to find RouterA ?

My friend has a laptop with windows xp and is trying to access the Internet via wifi tethering with his phone. The laptop will connect to the network created by the tethering app and will let me access the net for about 5 - 10 mins. Then without warning I can't browse websites or download files but am still connected to the network. I can connect to the network with another laptop for as long as I want and the net works fine. It is a peer to peer network.

I use a tethered iPhone to access the Internet. We live outside of the DSL service area so this is really the only high speed internet connection I have available.Unfortunately the "wireless hotspot" feature of the phone isn't very consistent. I can get all of my computers to connect to my phone this way, but the connection is constantly dropping, and I'm always having to reboot the phone to get the computers to pick it up again. The most reliable way to use the tethering is to just plug the phone in to whichever computer I happen to be using. This does create a problem, though. If I want to print to the network computer or access a file off of one of the other computers I have to manually connect to the wireless router, because that's the only way the computers can talk to each other. In the meantime, though, I can't use the internet because my computer thinks it needs to try to connect to the internet through the wireless router, and when it can't find the internet that way it just tells me there's no connection. Nevermind that my phone is still plugged in, for some reason it doesn't want to use that connection if it can see the router.

I managed to make this Android application that can show my DB's records and works just as I wanted.The code uses a PHP script to connect with a local mySql database and a JSON parser is also used.Of course, the application works perfectly in my internet connexion since I forwarded the port 80 to my computer by loging into my router.URL,Now, I'd like to make it more global? I'd like for example to use this app in my university's network.But I can't access the university's router.

I have a new FVS318G with latest FW, trying to configure FVS318 as VPN server, which to allow VPN client such as Android and Iphone be able to connect to FVS318 from the cloud and establish VPN tunnel.(url...), Netgear si using the term so unusual, it calls VPN Gateway and VPN client.Don't know why don't they call VPN server and VPN client.Anyway I did call Netgear Tech-supp.According to the Tech, there is not require the username and password for client to connect to Netgear VPN gateway.I am totally lost. I understand that FVS318 does not support PPTP and L2TP so no luck for Windows, but Android and Iphone have support to IPSec VPN. how to config FVS318 VPN, with username and password (for 2-3 different users username /password credential), VPN policy and Firewall polices if needed for VPN to work.

This is probably where I should have started my search. During the last 2 days I have taught myself numerous things to try and figure out this problem. I want to run 2x Client on my android to remote into my desktop. I have a Verizon fios actiontec router ver. I and running win 7 prof.. I have been able to easily set up the 2x client and remote into my desktop while on my home wifi but trying to use 3g/4g service has yielded nothing but heartache and stress.

web authentication when using Android devices. I've been testing it and it seems to be caused by certificates (as it has been said in others discussions). With https disabled in the WLC (Wism 6.0.196.0), the portal authentications loads, but no with https. In addition, another issue I've detected is the DNS resolution of my controller by 1.1.1.1 when redirection takes place. With https enabled, DNS resolution and redirection works fine, so I don't think DNS server misconfiguration is the cause of the problem.I've only been able to see the portal with https disabled and entering manually 1.1.1.1/login.html
