Sharing your PC internet connection with Android in Windows 7

Have you ever wanted to share your pc's net connection with your android device through wifi. Well there are few tools you can use to do this. They are Connectify and Virtual Router. But they are not very stable and went through several blue screens myself. But if you're running on Windows 7, don't bother. The OS itself supports this feature. Here's how to do it.

1. First check wheather your drivers support the feature. Open command prompt in Administrator mode and enter the following
   netsh wlan show settings
   If it says hostednetwork = enable or something similar you're ready to go.
2. Create a net hosted network by entering the following command
   netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=new_network_name key=new_network_password
   This will create a wifi hosted network
3. Then go to the network and sharing center and go to adapter settings and choose your internet connection -> properties -> sharing and tick the share this network and seleted the newly created wifi network.
4. Then turn on the hosted network by entering this in the command prompt
   
   netsh wlan start hostednetwork
   check with your wifi enabled device, you'll find the network is available
   
   
   
   
   That's it, all done and enjoy!!!

This works not only for Android device, you can connect your laptop, your i-phone or any other wifi enabled device...
