windows 7 as a wifi hotspot

gistfile1.txt

Looks like you can, in windows 7, turn your computer into a wifi hotspot, effectively sharing your internetconnection. works to share your wired connection over wifi, and I -guess- it works as a repeater when your pc is connected wireless.

Using these commands from an adminsistrator command prompt you can set up a wifi hotspot:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
netsh wlan set hostednetwork [ssid=]<ssid> [key=]<passphrase> [keyUsage=]persistent|temporary
=> Configure the wireless Hosted Network settings.

netsh wlan show hostednetwork [[setting=]security]
=> Display wireless Hosted Network information.

BUT: the device doesn't seem to support authenticated proxies... so I still don't have a solution for my workplace.
Possible solutions
- Browse using opera mobile, but this is not a systemwide solution.
- Set up an anonymous proxy on your pc (not a safe idea) http://androidero.blogspot.be/2010/11/acessando-wifi-via-proxy-com.html
