I am using Wi-Fi connection for my android device. It is signal is very week and most of the time i am fed up with internet connection not available.
But i have a PC in my hand with which is in LAN connection.. Is there any way to use this internet connection my mobile using USB cable?
Just curious to know that this will solve my problem. If yes, please give me in detail.
PC LAN connection to Mobile is not at all possible. But, you can use the mobile connection in PC using USB tethering.
Yes it is possible. Look for "USB Reverse Tethering" in the google play store. It is not easy but it is possible.
There also another way to do this, with "Virtual WiFi Router", they use the of your computer as hotspot. But take care when you install it, always refuse all the program they try to install on your computer. It is possible to install without adware program.
Take a look at this. It is the ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) setup guide for Windows 7 on Microsoft's website: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-...

I have a raspberry Pi at home that I can access over the internet using SSH (using only key authentication), which is behind a TP-Link router. This router has a hard drive attached to it, which I can access as a samba share locally using the router's IP address.
I would like to access this hard drive when I'm away from home, but I don't want to expose my samba share to the internet (needless to say why). Is there a way I can access it securely through my Raspberry Pi's SSH server ?
I am not 100% sure, if this is what you want. But what you can do:
Mount your router drive via samba to your RPi's mount point.
Access your PRi via sshfs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSHFS
Works for me like a charm. I found that using sshfs is much easier than nfs or samba under Linux. This solution definitely works when you access your RPi under Linux. Windows -> RPi, or Mac -> RPi.... perhaps, I don't know. I think there are sshfs solutions, but I don't know how stable or usable they are.

good day, may I ask if anyone knows if it's possible to connect two or three computers through a wifi router? It's hard to put it in one sentence so in detailed explanation, I would be making a software (java) in a main computer (I'll call it the server), another computer would then access the server through a client/server type of setup. Basically the computer (connected to the same wifi hot spot as the server) would access the software on the server either through php/jsp and utilize that software in an office setup wherein all the centralized data on the server is accessible to the connecting computer. I would put in a log-in screen first as standard practice to protect access to the server. I was hoping to ask if this is possible (since it's the same setup as using a LAN/wired connection in an office). If it's possible I'll try to research on how to do it (I heard I'll have to read more on sockets programming for this). If you need more detail on the scenario I would gladly provide it. Thank you for answers in advance.
*my next development goal would be to connect the server through a dial-up modem to connect to a remote computer connected to a dial-up modem as well. I'm trying to avoid internet connectivity to increase security problems and to make it more exclusive. Then maybe connect a couple of android tablets as well that is connected to the server for portability. so that would be around 2-3 computers connected to the server and a few portable tablets accessing the data. it would be great if anyone could point me in the direction for the first few steps on connecting the computer to the servers as well... right now I've already developed a java software that is working but it's only on the server and not connected to any router/computer at the moment.
Thanks again.
Yes, this is all perfectly possible. Your question however is in the wrong exchange. Stackoverflow is more for actual programming issues.

Currently running osx 10.8.2
Have an external network drive attached to my rt-n66u router running tomato
I'm trying to use tmutil to connect my external network drive, and am having a lot of trouble.
I mount the drives in Finder
Run sudo tmutil setdestination /Volumes/external, and get Incompatible file system type: smbfs (error 45)
Any ideas? :(
I can't answer your question specifically aside from telling you that timemachine backups on samba shares are not supported officially. As a consequence, even if you will be able to backup your data on a samba share (as far as I know lots of people have issues to do so), you will run into trouble during a restore procedure. If you would try to restore your data by booting an OS X livecd you couldn't because it doesn't have a samba client installed in order to connect to a samba share. The next step would be to try to connect the backup drive directly to your Mac to access your data. Chances are this would also fail because the harddrive was formatted with a linux filesystem which is not supported by OS X.
So the best thing you could do is to install netatalk (afpd) on that router box if it is possible at all.

I have subscribed to a broadband Internet connection provided by a local cable TV provider.
Normally, I use my laptop which has Windows 7 for light surfing. I have set up a Broadband connection(PPPoE) for the same as per the provider's instructions.
The issue arises when I remove the cable from my laptop and plug it into my desktop and try to use it by setting up a connection there,too. My account either gets locked immediately or even if it connects, when I connect the cable back to my laptop, it appears surely locked. Then I have to call up the provider to unlock it :(
I'm sure that the provider is storing something on each machine and disallowing use of multiple machines. This is a real disadvantage as I can't download overnight by using my desktop.
Please guide as to how I must get rid of this inconvenience.
Thanks and regards !
It could be because the connection is tied to the MAC Address of the network card. If the cable modem has a USB port you could try that option to connect to a USB port on the PC and laptop - you may have to install the drivers on the laptop and PC.
Another option you could try (if any of the systems have two network cards) is to setup ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). ICS can also be setup in the scenario of USB connected cable modem + single network card.

I have 40 computers in my lab and I have locked each computer with MAC address so people won't be able to unplug the network cable and connect it to their laptops.
I was wondering, if a laptop is connected via one of those cables, can he do some actions and discover the locked MAC.
I know I can find the locked MAC by running ipconfig /all on the computer in the lab. but if it's locked by a password I can't.
I am searching for the commands that I can run on the laptop (while pluged via the network cable) that will give me the MAC address of the computer's lab (The locked address).
(BTW, I'm running windows 7)
Thank you very much!
Amihay
If the laptop is running Linux:
sudo tshark -n arp
should net a few valid MAC addresses.
Not sure if it'll help because its windows,
