tethering and wifi connection

[Antonio]

Ciao,

my smartphone is connected via internet wifi mode and my computer is connected with my smartphone via tethering.

When I run the Companion on the smartphone and I try to connect the phone to the computer with the QRcode, before pressing "connect with code", appears on the computer screen "an internal error has occured. Report a bug?". Is it impossible to connect internet and the devices this way? Anybody knows...?

Sorry, not possible Antonio.  Why?  How the devices must connect is explained here:  http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/support/explain-wifi-connection.html  

It is possible to connect using a Wireless hot spot.that connects both the phone and the PC to the hotspot.  That is expensive on most networks.  It is what some organizations do to have AI2 Development Workshops working with several students.

You might be able to use the PC to work with the emulator  and/or    use the phone using the USB connection method:  http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/setup.html  .
