Hello Shelly,

Yes, if you are using Windows 7 you can create an ad-hoc connection provided that your computer is Wi-Fi enabled. Through this method, your PC acts as a Wireless Access Point for your Phone and other devices.

Google it. There are plenty of information on-line on how to create an ad-hoc connection in Windows 7.

In Windows 8.x and above you cannot "theoretically" create such a connection but there a way through netsh. [1]

But I have a more simple way and work-around for this method. :) I have created a little utility that deals with the network shell and turns your pc into an access point [2] provided you have a compatible wireless adapter.

Try it out and let me know. :)

Hello all,
I was wondering if it is possible to have an Internet access on my phone by connecting it to my laptop which is connected to a LAN.

Kind regards,Shelly
