my dorm internet is protected with IEEE 802.1X encryption (Microsoft PEAP) and I want to share the connection with my phone, but so far, I haven't been able to do it. I can create the hotspot, but the phone doesn't connect to the internet. Is there any way to share it?   It is not that I don't know how to create a hotspot, I've been using it at home during last year, but now, I've moved to a new home and to access the internet I need to configure a proxy and use my username and password for university and also it is protected with verification according to the standard IEEE 802.1x and Protocol PEAP, so even if I create the hotspot and connect to it, the phone/other computer/tablet/whatever can't go to internet.  I need something to tell the hotspot to go through the proxy and authentication, because I think that's the problem  These are the instructions for windows  in case I couldn't make myself clear enough

I have Ubuntu 12.04 on a HP 430 notebook and this has a single wired internet connection and I would like to share this with a LG Optimus One with Android 2.3.3. I followed  instructions and created a hotspot as shown below, but UbuntuHost is not visible on the LG Optimus One when I enable the Wifi on it.  To summarize, I want my Laptop with an internet connection to act as a WiFi router and access the internet from other devices (LG Optimus One with Android in this case).  What additional steps have to be done?

I've got a new laptop with a wireless card which runs Windows 7.  At work, I put the laptop in a docking station that gives the laptop a hardwired internet connection and functions pretty much like desktop PC.  But there isn't any WiFi signal in my building that I can use, so various portable devices that depend on WiFi  for an internet connection (iPod Touch and Kindle) are hobbled.  I'd like to provide them internet connections without spending more money, if possible.  So what I'd like to do is install some sort of virtual WiFi router on my PC.  Is that possible?    N. B. There is a related (but not identical ) that has an  that I think will work for me.  It won't hurt my feelings if this question is closed with a link to the other question, but I think they require different answers.

In recent release of Windows 10 we could see a new feature named wifi sense, which raised the following security threat as per this  :     This brilliant new feature, which Microsoft has dubbed Wi-Fi Sense,   doesn’t share your WiFi network password per se — it shares an   encrypted version of that password. But it does allow anyone in your   Skype or Outlook or Hotmail contacts lists to waltz onto your Wi-Fi   network — should they ever wander within range of it or visit your   home (or hop onto it secretly from hundreds of yards away with a good   ‘ole antenna!).   As per faq :     For networks you choose to share access to, the password is sent over   an encrypted connection and stored in an encrypted file on a Microsoft   server, and then sent over a secure connection to your contacts’ phone   if they use Wi-Fi Sense and they’re in range of the Wi-Fi network you   shared   From  :     First, a bit of anti-scaremongering. Despite what you may have read   elsewhere, you should not be mortally afraid of Wi-Fi Sense. By   default, it will not share Wi-Fi passwords with anyone else. For every   network you join, you’ll be asked if you want to share it with your   friends/social network   From the above excerpts it's unclear whether Windows 10 shares wifi details with  my contacts; So my questions were few :  Does it really shares WiFi details with my contacts since many articles states it's shared &amp; it's not shared.  If it's shared how can I prevent it?

Can we use an Android phone as a Wi-Fi repeater?  Imagine situation when you can access a weak Wi-Fi signal from a free hotspot (coffee shop) signal near window, but want to work in the middle of the room. Then we can put the phone on the window sill to spread the signal over the entire home.  Is it feasible?

In my country (Nigeria) we have very few wireless hotspots, most people connect to the internet via private USB dongles.  I was wondering if it is possible to use these dongles to allow an embedded system connect to the internet.  I know that involves knowing some form of USB protocol with which these devices communicate with a system, but I don't know if there is some standard for that or something to make it generic.

I want to use my Android device as a network server. In the same kind of way you would make it a Wi-Fi hotspot, but I don't want to allow connected computers to access the internet, I would like them to be able to communicate together.  Possible uses:   Playing games via LAN (e.g., Quake) Allow computers to share files Bonjour (Macs) etc...   Is there any way to achieve this? Any apps out there that will set up a wireless network server?

I use my laptop (Windows Vista Ultimate) to connect to a wireless network in college, which assigns a dynamic IP address, and at home, with a static IP address and DNS server. I'm looking for a good solution/software to switch between college/home settings without changing them manually. I've found an open-source application called , but the official site says that its development has been discontinued.  Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Goal: I want to be able to securely use the internet via my home PC while my notebook is connected to an open hotspot/access point.  I do know that I can use a SSH tunnel/SOCKS proxy, but I don't want to fiddle around with applications (making them use it, if even possible). I guess what I need is an OpenVPN setup, so I'm looking for a detailed guide on how to:   Install and setup the OpenVPN server Setup the OpenVPN client (NetworkManager)   Ubuntu versions this should work on are 10.10 and 11.04.
