    Hi all

    Hope this is in the right section. Im having a strange problem.
    I have in my hand a nexus s with a 1G data limit.
    I also have a USB modem with another SIM.

    I have CCTV on my house accessible over the web.

    When im connected on the USB modem i can connect to the CCTV no problems.
    When i use my nexus s as a hotspot it will not connect to the CCTV.

    It will connect to the website and i get the password window but it will not stream video for me.

    any ideas?

    Android hotspot = adhoc mode. Won't work for all gear, including some other android devices (some will work tho).

    Non-technical explanation: It's not a proper wifi network it creates.

    You aren't giving full explanation tho. What are you connecting to your hotspot? A laptop? An android tablet? Windows can connect to adhoc fine, but some android tablets can't. What are you actually browsing the web with? Can't you just use the nexus S web browser?

    edit: You can connect to the website? Ok I have no idea now... please explain properly what your setup is. Are you actually inside your house, but trying to access your home wifi by 3g?

    Hi

    I'm connecting a windows 7 laptop ( have also tried windows 7 netbook).
    Im using chrome to browse the web to the web address of my dvr. It connects to the web address fine. Loads the page and requests to login. When i enter the login it tells me no stream is available.

    Ok that's wierd. Windows laptops work fine with android hotspot for me. Do youtube and various other websites work ok?

    Are you with vodafone? They like to proxy the connection and give you mobile version of youtube whether you like it or not (in UK anyway).

    Ok no idea so :D Make sure Nexus S is updated to latest version etc.

    edit: Is the other sim not with vodafone? If so then maybe vodafones proxy is breaking something. It causes me grief with youtube in uk sometimes.
