i think need aditional software. i want to have the choice of making my eeepc a gateway (terminology?) to allow others to access the internet.so it is me who is setting the passwords and selecting the ecryption type on my puppy. without a router. this is what the mentioned above app seems to promise?

How is your eeepc connected to the internet?
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka
Use peppyy's puppysearch

so i figure if you can do this with an android you may be able to do it with a laptop and non wifi phone. account is charged by the hour not by the gigabyte.

Yes, you need the hostapd daemon, plus a few extra utilities.aarf wrote:can a 3g/gprs/lan tethered puppy also beturned into a hotspot with some software somwwhere?
I provided these applications about a year ago to another forum member, but I see that they need updating, and the setup is a bit complex, so some clear instructions are also needed.
Give me a day or two.

Chris.
had a look now. this is something different to what is requested in this original thread. my phone is not android and doesnt have wifi. here i was requesting 3G phone to be usb cable tether to puppy for a hotspot on non-ethernet connected puppy. while chris post is a solution about how to do the android connect mentioned initially as the thought instigator.aarf wrote:thanks for this Chris. got too much on my plate to delve further now.cthisbear wrote:aarf >> Huawei Ideos solved today.
