I don't understand, you want to connect your phone to your laptop and use its wifi?
Why can't you connect the phone to wifi directly?

Can you connect your phone to the same wifi?
I don't think you can do what you want actually. You want to physically connect the phone and the laptop and use the connection from the laptop?

Just to be safe, you have wireless connection? :smileygrin:

Ok, I'm sorry.

There's tethering and reverse tethering.
tethering is when you have internet connection on you phone and use that connection to connect with your laptop.
Reverse tethering is the other way round. I believe that is what you want?
I never did this because I connect both my laptop and my phone to the same wifi network, but I found something that might help you.

This is for non-rooted phones:

there's a link on the site for rooted phones

First of all, I'm not "dude", I'm a girl.
Second, no need to be rude, I was trying to be helpful and you didn't even explain what you want anyway.
Good luck.

do you mean you want your xperia U to be a remote for your laptop? your post is so confusing, or is it just your english.

no need to be rude to ppl who are REALLY trying to help you even tho they don't understand you much because your english is so bad...

and yes... what you are trying to do is called reverse-tethering. rosie-posie is CORRECT.

if you don't know what that is go and get yourself educated instead of bashing on others...

ungrateful idiot...

Thank you raja.....

Where did I mention reverse tethering in my reply?

I suggested you a couple of software to use your laptop as a wifi hotspot, so that you can connect your phone to that wifi and use laptop's internet.

Infact, the link provided fby raja is for virtual router. Read the reply fully (or rather carefully) before replying.

btw, first learn to be respectful to the people in the forum, we all need to help each other with the problems.

Hope you'll understand what I mean.

Hey guys,

If u need to share your laptops internet connection to your phone via wi-fi you dont need to root your phone and wi-fi retether and all. There are 3 ways of doing it :

1. just download mhotspot lite, its a portable exe file u dont even need to intall it .then create a access point bt you will also have to change wi-fi settings by selecting the advanced option.

a.USE STATIC IP

b.CHANGE IP TO 192.168.137.2

c.GATEWAY 192.168.137.1

d.NETMASK 255.255.255.0

e.DNS 1 TO 8.8.8.8

f.DNS 2 TO 8.8.4.4

AND ITS DONE !!!

2. Second option is to use connectify to set up an access point with above settings.

3. Third option is to use a virtual router.

second and third options are little messy as use need to install the applications and need to change some internal wifi router setting in the PC.

Guys try this if u have any doubts ask me ....
