Finally got working wifi tethering :))
Modded my phone with LK2.02 mod( for netfilter)
The app from the link you specified didn't work, It creates a adhoc network and I'm able to connect, but ip is not assigned on client side.
Checked samdroid forums and noticed that app was modified to Spica and was posted in samdroid forums. uninstalled previous app and installed this one, and viola tethering works like a charm.

Harsha,
Can this app be used to 'reverse tether' I mean sharing sharing PC internet on phone.
I 've searched a bit and found that android doesn't support ad-hoc!!
So, wifi access point is the only way or am I missing some thing?

BTW, how do U guys access connect to internet..???

Yeah I tried to do the same, bridged my LAN and Wifi Card and created a adhoc network. But phone is not able to detect this network, even when I entered Network Name manually.

But even my MotoRokr had ways to share Pc's internet connection with phone. So may be there are ways of doing this on Android. I have no idea how!!

I normally connect to Internet via Wifi Router if I'm in home and outdoors I use GPRS connection.

Yeah there are ways to make android do ad-hoc. I found a guide demonstrated on G1. It requires rooting though. I don't want to root just for this (or this early)

I found a sofware called connectify which turns ur PC into a wifi accesspoint
unfortunately it works on WIN7 only. I'm still on good ol' Xp.:oops:

You can flash it in Vista :) No problems at all.

Infact I flashed mine in Win 7, so vista shouldn't be a problem at all. But run ODIN in admin mode.

My phone works great this way. I sometimes get tired of my system and use my phone instead to browse while on the bed :D . All you need is to setup the network right ad your phone should automatically find the wireless access point. If you have it protected then enter the password etc. At the moment I have BSNL Router connected to a Wireless Router which is setup to act like a bridge. Thus It allows for downloading for applications and any other tasks quite easy :) .
