USB Tethering/ Forward ports
« on: November 02, 2015, 06:56:49 am »
My situation:

I'm using USB Tethering on my android (via Easy Tether Pro) to access internet on my PC. My phone is connected to my wifi network.

The problem:

Suppose I want to host a webserver on my PC and make it accessible via the internet. (Outside my Local network), how am I supposed to open ports?  :-X

No joy:

My phone's IP address is 192.168.100.5
My PC's IP is 192.168.117.2

Ideas?

So you are actually using your phone as a wifi dongle? Why don't you just buy a wifi card or usb stick and connect your PC directly to your wlan? In your case you would have to forward the port on the router to your phone and from your phone to your PC. I do not think that you can do that on your phone.

It's a temporary setup, that's why I didn't buy a wifi card.

Hm. Thanks.

This better be temporary, you won't get anywhere with it - you need a real wifi card/dongle for this. When you get one, then it's just a matter of opening ports on your router.
