Open up command prompt using the hotkey Windows Key + R and then typing in cmd or simply keying in cmd in the start menu (Win 7).Now, repeat step 5 (previous one) to make sure ‘ Obtain IP Address Automatically’ is still checked. Now, power up the Raspberry Pi (making sure that the Ras-Pi and the Laptop/PC are connected to each other through the LAN/Ethernet cable) and wait a minute or two while the Ras-Pi boots.Once the properties tab pops up, make sure that the ‘ Obtain IP address automatically’ checkbox is selected. Now, right click ‘Local Area Connection’ → Properties and then select Internet Protocol Version 4 and then click the Properties Button.Once done, head back to the Adapter Settings page and you should now see the Shared info message on the Wireless Network Connection From the drop down list, choose ‘Local Area Connection’ and enable both the checkboxes and hit OK.Now, right click the above Network → Properties and then select the Sharing tab.Do remember the ‘ Local Area Connection’ to which we’ll eventually share this connection As shown below, we’re connected to ‘Wireless Network Connection’ on ‘Android 4’. Now, go to Network and Sharing Center (Network Settings in Win XP) and then head to the Change Adapter Settings page.Note: I’m using my Android device (Nexus One) configured as a WiFi hotspot J Open any Internet Browser and confirm internet access by opening any website. Firstly, enable the WiFi adapter of the PC/Laptop and make sure it’s connected to a WiFi hotpspot.In this post, we’ll go about setting up the Raspberry Pi to access internet through the Ras-Pi’s Ethernet/LAN port from a Laptop/PC’s shared WiFi connection. Video Tutorial Added:Ī large part of this post assumes you’ve read the earlier post on directly accessing the shell on Raspberry Pi through a Ethernet/LAN connection. PutTTY Software (will be used to SSH into the Pi)Įdit: 2nd Jan, 2015.Standard Network Cable (Cat 5, Standard or Crossover).


PC/Laptop with WiFi Internet connection and a Ethernet Jack (LAN Connector / RJ45).Raspberry Pi running the latest Raspbian Wheezy.Share PC/Laptop’s WiFi internet connection with Raspberry Pi through LAN/Ethernet connected to Raspberry Pi.After having setup the Raspberry Pi to work in headless mode directly without installing anything on it as described in this post, we then tinkered on to share WiFi internet connection with the Raspberry Pi through the LAN/Ethernet connection which we established in our earlier post.
