Question
How to connect android phone such as samsung galaxy ace to ad hoc connection on computer? have a software that support the connection? thanks!

Answer
In order to connect the phone to your computer to be able to use it for tethering, you would need software from or that is compatible with your wireless carrier that has the drivers required for your phone and carrier and you would also need a tethering data plan or the ability through the carrier to tether (that it is allowed). Depending upon where you live and who your carrier is, at least here in the US, the carriers charge for tethering. Hope this helps.
