Use LAN plugin through WiFi hotspot
Posted: 2015-09-04, 13:28 UTC
Hi!
I was trying to connect to a network share on my work computer while connected directly to my cell phone through the WiFi hotspot option, but TC displays the following message:
"No network connection! Please either enable WLAN or disable flight mode! Turn on WLAN now?"
But my computer got 192.168.43.12 and I can ping my phone at 192.168.43.1, so that message isn't true!![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Well, the reason I'm trying to do this is:
1. The USB port on my cell phone is broken. Shame on me.![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
2. I'm not allowed to connect my personal phone to the company network, so why not connecting the computer to my phone instead?![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
So could this option be enabled in the future? I think it shouldn't be hard, probably a simple condition that is not taken into account when checking for a network connection.
Thanks!
