How to connect your iphone to your laptop wifi ad-hoc

Some hotels don't have wireless internet connection and they only have a wired LAN and unfortunately, iphone can't connect to the internet via the usb unlike windows mobile phones.

Here's how to setup a wireless adhoc network on windows xp and connect your iphone to your laptop to use the LAN.

Go to wireless network connection properties,

Add... a new Preferred networks:

Enter a new SSID, wireless network key of your choice,

Then click ok

Next, Highlight both your LAN and Wireless Network Connection

Right click and create a network bridge

Done!

You should see that your wireless Network Connection is not connected but the Network bridge is connected when you connect your phone.

This should work like a normal wireless router and no additional configurations should be needed on your phone.

Cheers!
