I recently wanted to share my Android phone’s internet connection to two Windows computers. After some doing, here is the solution (naming might differ on different versions of Windows, I’m using XP):
- Download and install PDAnet for your Android phone and on one of the Windows computers, referred to as Computer1.
- Once installed, follow the directions for connecting Computer1 to the internet. PDAnet includes these instructions, but basically you turn on the PDAnet app on the phone and click “Turn on PDAnet” or something like that. (You also need to have USB debugging enabled, see instructions.) You need to install the software on Computer1 before you connect to your phone via USB. If your phone prompts you with four choices, such as Charge, USB Mass Storage, etc., select Charge.
- Now in the system tray on Computer1, right-click the PDAnet icon and select “Connect”. After this, Computer1 should have internet access.
- Next connect Computer1 and Computer2 with an ethernet cable. Older network adapters require a cross-over cable.
- On Computer1, go to the properties of the ethernet connection (e.g. “Local Area Connection” -> r-click -> “Properties”). Double-click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”. Set the IP address to “192.168.0.1” and subnet mask to “255.255.255.0” and click “Ok” out of all of that.
- On Computer1, go to the properties of the PdaNet Modem. Click the “Advanced” tab. I disabled my firewall to make things easy. Click the box “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection”. In the drop-down box, select the ethernet connection you configured in Step 5. Unselect the other two boxes. Click “Ok”.
- Still on Computer1, click “Start”->”Run” (or hold the Windows keyboard button and press “R” at the same time). In the box, type “cmd” and press “Ok”. In the black command window type “ipconfig /all”. Look for the PdaNet connection “PPP adapter for PdaNet Modem”. Under that should be “DNS Servers . . . . “. Write down that number, as it will be used on Computer2.
- On Computer2, set up the ethernet connection using the same procedure as in Step 5, except use the IP address “192.168.0.2” and for the Default Gateway put “192.168.0.1”. While you are there, click “Use the following DNS server addresses” and put the number you wrote down in Step 7 under “Preferred DNS server”.
- You should have internet access on both computers now!
If you are having problems, try this: back on Computer1, type “ping 192.168.0.2”. If it says “Reply from 192.168.0.2…” then you are most of the way there. Otherwise go back and check the steps. Type “ping 74.125.229.16” to see if you can access Google without DNS name resolution. If it doesn’t reply, then PDAnet isn’t connected or a step was skipped. Finally type “ping www.google.com” to see if the DNS configuration is correct. If it doesn’t reply, then look at the settings seen in Steps 7 and 8.

Paykasa da aynı şekilde eşdeğer siteler üzerinde satın alınabiliyor. Bu siteler arasında da en az resmi sitesi kadar güvenli ve kaliteli hizmet veren siteler bulunuyor. Satın alma işlemini tüm ayrıntılarına kadar tamamlayan kullanıcılar hesaplarına gelen şifreyi diledikleri gibi kullanabiliyor. Paykasa ile alışveriş yapılan siteler arasından dilediğinde kişisel bilgi paylaşmadan kullanılması birçok müşterinin özel hediyeler, çeşitli oyun siteleri ve daha birçok satın alınmak istenen işlemde tercih etmeleri için en geçerli neden olarak gösteriliyor.

Astropay Kart ; Dünyada birçok insan neden kendisine en yakın yerdeki alışveriş merkezlerinden alışveriş yaparlar hiç düşündünüz mü? En yakın ürün genelde ucuz gelir o yüzden olabilir mi? Kişi İstanbul’da otururken genelde İstanbul’dan alışveriş yapar çünkü aldığı üründe nakliye ulaşım kargo gibi giderleri olmadığı için mal piyasada pahalı bile olsa bu özellikleri

I was able to get ICS working with my USB internet connection AND browse the other computer through the router, and still stay online (when i enabled the ethernet port on the main computer before, it would disconnect me from the internet).
However my other computer isn’t able to go online still.
Computer B (my other computer), has IP addy obtained auto, as well as dns. it is getting a valib IP address from the router.
Router is set up DHCP (not sure if you need any other info on that).
Computer A is set up, obtain IP addy auto, as well as DNS for the ethernet port. I can view all the files, transfer, write etc.. to computer B IF and only if, i plug the cable into a computer port on the router.
If i plug the ethernet cable into the “modem” port on the router (which again, is set up DHCP), the ethernet port on computer A is not getting a valid IP address (169.254.140.172).
I’m sure that I am missing something very “obvious”, but as this isn’t my profession, and it’s just a hobby, any help would be greatly appreciated.
router = Linksys WRT310N, firmware v1.0.10.
Nat and dynamic routing (RIP) are both disabled.
When i go to the status screen on the router, it has no internet IP, or gateway. (0.0.0.0)
