On http://www.download.com/8301-2007_4-10077963-12.html?target= when referring to the Gmote application for Android it says:
"Note: Gmote and other remote apps that rely on Wi-Fi connections to form "networks" between the computer and mobile phone are usually crafted with private Wi-Fi networks in mind. Workarounds to create ad- hoc computer-to-computer networks can be successful, but aren't always." That is ad-hoc networks "can be successful, but aren't always". This implies that it might be possible to connect to an ad-hoc network from Android. Can anyone else confirm whether it is possible to connect an Android G1 to a computer over an ad-hoc Wifi network in order to share the internet connection from the computer with the phone?
