Hello,

it really works (I dont understand yet, how...), I heve only one pronblem: DNS does not work for me. Have I set up another redirection for that? If I put the IP address of the target host in the /etc/hosts file, I can reach it, otherwise not.

Thanks a lot,
Francisco

BTW: @TranceMist: how did You eliminate the remote host? Exactly? I cannot figure it out on my own...

Hi TranceMist,

Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out a way to route wifi traffic to route over the 3G connection, though I haven't done a lot of research yet. It seems like when one connection is active (wifi/3g) the other is deactivated so I'm not optimistic that bridging the connections would be successful on a non-rooted phone.

Short of having an app that will bridge the two connections or act as an SSH server, I'm not sure of a way to do that without rooting the phone. If you do track down a solution, I'd be very interested in hearing about it though.

This is brilliant!

I've even been able to eliminate the remote server, because ConnectBot itself has the Dyamic (SOCKS) feature.

The only problem is that when I make the SSH connection between my Android and my laptop via WiFi, Android wants to route all of the traffic via WiFi instead of my 3G connection. Yet I need the WiFi to connect my laptop to Android.

Any suggestions to get around this?
(and still use WiFi)
