BSNL EVDO Discussion Forums: How to Share ur EVDO connection with another WiFi Laptop/Mobile ? | Topic started by jingboy - BSNL EVDO Discussion Forums

Steps:

1) Assign  manual IP addresses for ur laptop wifi adapter & ur mobile . 

Laptop wifi adapter :

IP: 192.168.0.1

subnet : 255.255.255.0

Gateway : blank


Mobile wifi settings: (u can also configure another laptop with the below settings to access internet) 

IP : 192.168.0.2

subnet : 255.255.255.0

Gateway : 192.168.0.1

DNS : 208.67.222.222

2) On d laptop with EVDO connection, goto network sharing center>manage network connections

 Right-click ur wifi adapter>properties>Sharing
 Enable "Allow others network users to use this internet connection" and under Home networking, select "Wireless network connection"

Click Apply.

3) Goto Control Panel>Network n Sharing Center>Set up a Connection or Network


4) Choose `Set up a wireless Ad-hoc network` and click next 


5) Give a name for your wireless network (e.g., `My Hotspot`) Choose security type as WEP (as supported by most handsets) and enter a 5 digit security key. 


6) Select `save this network` and click next.... Your laptop is now acting like a wireless router and is now ready to accept connections..


7) Scan for wifi networks from ur mobile or another laptop, U will find ur access point (i.e. My Hotspot) and connect to it by entering the WEP key


Now u shud be able to use all internet applications on ur mobile (u must allow 'local connection' under connectivity, on ur mobile)

Next time when u wanna activate hotspot, all u hav to do is to goto control panel>network and sharing center>Connect to a network & double click on `My hotspot`... and u are ready to connect on your mobile




However, Video streaming apps like Youtube may not work. For this , I set up a RTSP proxy on my laptop and it works fantastic!! If u wanna know bout that, ask me and i will write a tut on that ;)

Enjoy.
