Help Help connecting to Galaxy S2 (rooted) via USB

[AmitX123]

Ok, here's my situation.

I have a SGS2 rooted phone with Ubuntu installed on loop device. At home, I can boot Ubuntu and connect to my phone via my laptop (both are on the same wireless network). By connect I mean, make a TCP connection for VNC-server, SSH, etc.. Just like I connect to any other Ubuntu box.

At work, my laptop is on a wired network and the phone is on a wireless, both on different subnets. The LAN does not allow my laptop to connect to my phone. I therefore need a workaround that lets me do this. I have following suggestions:

1. Setup internet connection sharing on my laptop thru the wireless and connect my phone to it. This option is NOT preferred as I need to constantly mess with my laptop network setting when I travel from home to work or vice versa.

2. Use the USB connection to emulate a LAN which will somehow allow me to connect to the phone from laptop. This is THE preferred option.

Any suggestions on how to go about no. 2 would be appreciated. I guess I need to install some app on both phone and laptop for this to work.

Thanks in advance

I have this dilemma too, and my solution was to activate wifi on laptop and connect to the phone via wifi hotspot. I also then use air Droid to work phone through the laptop itself.

Hope this helps.
