  • I'll have to disagree. What you've presented is not setting a computer as an Access Point. Having a computer as an Access Point implies having an infrastructure mode.

    What you are presenting is Ad-Hoc mode. Is very different.

    I'm telling this because we had an actual infrastructure configuration at home and the Android phone couldn't connect to it because it accepts to connect only to a infrastructure configuration and not to a ad-hoc network.

  • how do i do this if i am using a computer that is running on a lan routered internet connection. My laptop is using the same internet connection (LAN) as my roomates?! So evertime i try it on XP it keeps saying some error?!

    HELP! PLEASE

  • @yoyocomputer123 - As said here in the posting we did not make this video contact Cnet.com for details or help.
