I have to use a wired conection to my PC and i'd like to connect my android phone to the internet over Wi-Fi. I tried using the new Wireless Hosted Network functionality in Windows 7, but my phone can't connect - it gets stuck at "Obtaining IP address...". The AP is working - it is visible in the list, but i can't connect.
I'm using the following comands(as administrator):
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=name key=password
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Output of netsh wlan show hostednetwork
:

Your information is kind of cryptic. But I believe PleaseStand nails it on the head with Internet Connection Sharing. When you say "I have to use a wired conection to my PC . . .", I'm assuming you mean a wired connection to the Internet and not the phone :) Cause I can totally see someone thinking a USB is a Wired Connection. – surfasb – 2011-09-24T19:08:19.313
