http://ubuntuforums.org – I'd like to connect my phone via USB to my laptop and access internet on my phone through my laptop. Here are some details: Laptop: connected by ethernet cable to ADSL router internet works fine Phone: Samsung galaxy s2 USB Tethering is on Installed app "Reverse Tether" So when I connect phone to laptop via USB I get a new connection in network connections and in ifconfig i get a new item: usb0. So I click on connect in Reverse Tether and (eventually) it tells me that it got a desired ip and gateway ip but no internet connection. I think I need to bridge the connections... As far (Hardware)

Hello, I'm new to the forum, and I've tried to get this working on my own, but I'm stumped and am hoping someone out there can help me out.

I just bought a shiny new Nexus 7 tablet and would like to tether it to my Galaxy S III phone. I'm currently on a pay as you go plan on my phone where I have an "internet browsing" plan (via SpeakOut).

I am trying Ubuntu on a trial basis to see if I think I could use it in place of Windows. One of the things I can do in Windows is connect my XP laptop thru a wireless access point which is connected by ethernet cable to my desktop, which is set to share its internet connection. The desktop connects to the internet by dialup.

For some reason, when I tether my phone's Internet it works fine for a moment or a long time and then it switches to limited connectivity. No Internet connection on any of the connected devices, even if I reset the connection. Only restarting my phone seems to work. Using stock Android 4.0.4 and the stock tether.

Has anybody else experienced this? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
