Abstract
Techniques are described for providing and accessing network services via a peer-to-peer wireless network connection which is established between a first computing device and a second computing device. The first computing device has an additional network connection that allows it to access network services via external networks (e.g., the internet). The second computing device is only connected to the peer-to-peer wireless network connection and has no Internet access. A primary data channel is established between the first and second computing devices over the peer-to-peer wireless network connection (e.g., for streaming audio and/or video content). A secondary data channel is negotiated between the first computing device and the second computing device. The secondary data channel is used by the second computing device to access the network services via the first computing device which performs relay and/or proxy operations for the second computing device.
