I want to know do unity networking supports mobile hotspot for lan connection.
It is possible. However, you should try to search by yourself first, I needed 1 minute to find the source:

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Bluetooth to connect to multiple phones using C# Monotouch/Xamarin iOS?
Update
I'd preferably like to connect multiple phones to one main phone
host, all via Bluetooth (1 host and 3 or 4 clients).
I don't know a
great deal about bluetooth and the various profiles, so I'd be
looking for guidance on this aspect also.
Yes, you can.
iOS 7.0 introduced the Multipeer Connectivity framework. It can work with both bluetooth and/or wifi (and can even bridge between them, pretty neat).
You can find sample code (e.g. chat, mixed with iBeacons) by googling around for Multipeer Connectivity, iOS and monotouch.
I want to develop an app, which will be running on tablets with Windows 8 (RT). One tablet with this app should be a "master" tablet and this tablet will communicate with other tablets "slave" (running same app). Master tablet should send data to slaves tablets (slave tablet display this received data) and slaves tablets will send data to master. Master collect this data and create some graph etc... I hope you understand. (resume: several same W8 RT app communication with each other)
Can tablets with W8 RT (running same app) communication WI-FI Direct? What´s possibilities are in C#?
Thx for every answer.
Windows 8 includes a capability to help you establish connections between copies of your app running on different devices. That capability is called PeerFinder.
Currently PeerFinder can find other devices using NFC (tap the two devices together) or using WiFi if both devices support Wifi Direct. After the initial handshake, both devices communicate using sockets.
The Proximity Sample shows basic use of PeerFinder:

PixPresenter is a sample app that uses PeerFinder and exchanges images between devices:

PeerFinder.SupportedDiscoveryTypes tells you what methods are currently available for discovering other devices:

Hope that helps.
Dev support, design support and more awesome goodness on the way: http://bit.ly/winappsupport
If it's local network, you can use raw TCP communications and use UDP discovery to identify the master.
If it's a more distributed setup like the internet or separated network areas, I'd recommend you have a look at Microsoft Azure Queue Storage services explained here. This will allow a distributed and redundant master-slave model.
As a complement, if anytime you need to emulate NFC you can use a specific sample driver :

Hope it helps.

Also, here you will find a WinRT lib that you can use to help you tranfer data/files between Windows 8 peers running the same application, using Wifi-Direct :

My requirement is to capture whatever (audio)is playing on client machine and send it to server as live streaming. On windows 7 i am banging my head on WASAPI Loopback for this purpose. But that is not supported in windows XP. Do anyone has idea how it can be done in Windows Xp?
You can use DirectX.
Take look at this:
capturing sound and more with Managed DirectX (MDX) 1.1
Windows XP does not provide built-in support for loopback capture. Your can only do it if your soundcard has a "what you hear" option that can be selected for recording. If not, then you would need to use a specially created sound card driver that allows you to intercept the audio being sent to it, and passes it on to your real soundcard. There are a few commercial products that do this (such as Virtual Audio Cable)
I would like to auto-create an ad-hoc wireless network from my laptop.
I use windows XP SP3 and I want to do it using C#.
I have seen some libraries for mobile, but I havent found something regrading PC.
Is there an API to do that ?
Thank you.
Ad-hoc network are usually used in Ubiquitous Computing (smart homes). For a laptop, it depends what you'd like to connect to, as ad-hoc usually work with many devices you control.
May be you mean connecting to whatever network you can, in which case it's more on the OS-level.
If you are willing to setup one machine on the network as a wireless server and forgo Ad Hoc, then the Managed Wifi API on codeplex looks very promising. It is in C# and works on XP SP3 and higher (and a little bit on SP2, fyi). http://managedwifi.codeplex.com/
It uses the Native Wifi API from Microsoft. The Native Wifi API requires you to have a server machine which will hand out private IPs to other devices that connect to the network you create. In Native Wifi you would want StandAlone mode ICS in order to create your network (if you want internet access on your network use full ICS then).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd815252(v=vs.85).aspx
Use the Native Wifi as just a reference though, Managed Wifi API is what you will want for C#.
I'm interested in this too actually. I think this could be useful:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms705973(v=vs.85).aspx
Unfortunately, this is only available for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 I believe.
I don't know any c#, but if I did, it'd probably make sense. If you find any insight, please contact me, I'd also like to learn how to do this as well.
I need to connect and disconnect USB devices, such as flash drives, in a programmatical manner, without unplugging and re-plugging the device.
Is there any way to do it in a C# Windows application?
You might want to look at some related questions:

Both of the approaches mentioned in the answers are readily translatable to C#.
