Share internet connection

Hi all,
I have been busy lately in finding a way to share my laptop internet connection - Ethernet - with my mobile phone. First, I tried to make an adhoc network. Although making an adhoc network is very easy in Ubuntu,I failed as my mobile phone - Android 2.1 Eclair - do not support adhoc networks :D.

Then, I tried usb reverse tethering  and it also not supported in my mobile.

Finally, the solution was Bzeek. It enables you to make a wifi hotspot of your laptop. The only limitation is that this program is only for windows. All you have to do is

1-  Download bzeek software from here .
2-  Install it.
3-  Sign up from here.
4-  Enable wireless in your laptop (The laptop that has the Ethernet connection).
5-  If the green sign of bzeek doesn't appear in the toolbar open bzeek (from all programs).
6-  Right click on this green icon -> Turn on Personal hotspot.
7-  Sign in (from your laptop) here .
8-  Enable wireless in the other device that you want to share the internet connection with.
9-  Sign in from the other device.

NOTE: You may face a problem and the hotspot not created, then check your firewall and adjust the permission for Bzeek.
Have fun.
