Google didn't help me at all on this. I have a Samsung Galaxy S mobile phone, running Android 2.3.3. I'm wondering whether it's possible to have my laptop providing an internet connection for it. I guess a sort of tethering, but reversed.
Prerequisites for that is the mobile phone, to connect to the Internet not directly but through a Windows machine. Can you help me? Ad hoc networking (as proposed in another thread) doesn't seem to work in my situation.
Thank you :)

I just installed Virtual Router - Wifi Hot Spot for Windows on my Windows 7 laptop. I can now connect my Asus Nexus Android device to the internet through my laptop.
That tool creates... guess what :) a virtual wireless router!
It lets you enter a name for the SSID (network name), a password and choose which connection you'd like to share. That's it. It also shows you which devices are connected to it.
