I have a PC running Windows 7, with wifi dongle. I connect to internet in this PC using my Android phone as wifi hotspot (Samsung Galaxy s2). I want to share this internet from PC to my Sony KDL 40 EX 520 smart TV, may be using cross over cable. I do not have any router or wifi dongle in my TV. I am unable to do this with my limited knowledge. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You set the TV to use dhcp.
You connect a crossover cable from your pc's ethernet card to the TV
You engage ICS which will provide a 192.168.1.137 ip for the nic in the host pc and will supply the TV with a ip in the 192.168.1.x range along with the rest of the settings it needs.

Trick here is your internet connection can not use 192.168.1.x range

Post a ipconfig /all for review so I can see what your ip setup is.

Thanks Wand3r3r for your help. Problem solved. With your suggestions, now I am able to share internet from pc to TV without the help of router.

In the same way, in my situation, whether it is possible to share internet to wifi modem-cum-router, instead of TV, so that more devices can be connected through wifi router. Please help.
