Internet over usb - General Topics

Hey guys.
Just bought XDA II 2 days ago and cant figure out one thing here. Is there a way to have PDA connected to internet via this USB connection (while its in cradel hooked up to pc which is on internet)?
Thanx.

cant quite remember how to activate passthrough on the XDA however in active sync on the PC, in options via the rules option select the appropriate connection you want to use for passthrough and have that connection active under the connection settings in the pocket internet explorer (PIE)
PC
active sync | tools-> options -> rules (passthrough - this pc connects to xyz)
XDA
PIE - connection settings (same setting as selected above)

Internet access through USB (Activesync) on work network (via proxy)

HI all,
I'm experiencing the following problem with my Cruise.
When having the Cruise connected to my PC through USB cable (Activesync on), mobile applications other than IE cannot access the Internet.
My configuration is:
on ActiveSync
my computer is connected to: "work network"
on the Cruise
start > parameters > connections > connections
advanced tab > network selection is set to work network for both types of networks
proxy configuration on the other tab is the correct one for my network
The only application on the Cruise capable of connecting the Internet with this configuration is IE: when starting, it asks for proxy username & password and pages are loaded correctly.
Any other application (the HTC today screen, when looking for the meteo data, Opera, QuickGPS...) do not arrive to connect the Internet falling in timeout (no request for proxy authentication).
Of course, at home (ActiveSync configured as connected to the Internet) everything work fine and all applications connect to the Internet w/o problems.
Any idea?
Thanks
Hi all.... ive got pretty much the problem? Any solutions guys??
Pretty much same here, except for QuickGPS... it manages to connect somehow.
it works for me, but without proxy...
Maybe this would help you?
Hey Wis38!
Just try to open the following ports ins your proxy:
990 (RAPI)
999 (Status)
5721 (DTPT)
5678 (Legacy Replication)
5679 (Handshake & Legacy Replication)
26675 (Airsync)
For further informations try the MS kb259369 and kb904667.
btw, good luck
Frank
Yeah, thanks.
But I'm not proxy administrator, and can't open those ports...
Any other ideas?
Ask your admin
Hmm...
I think then you have to ask aour admin...

I had the same problem

How can I use my Polaris like USB modem to connect Notebook on internet.
Is there some application or something like that?
Thanks.
try this one
on your device, go to start menu > programs > internet sharing
choose which connection you want to use (USB or BT) then press connect
if you choose USB, plug the USB cable to both PC and device immediately after connetion established.
if you choose BT (you have to make sure that your device have been paired to the computer), connect to your device through BT network access
in internet sharing mode, all activesync connection will be disconnected
there is a registry hack for windows to fix this issue, but normally the issue also effects syncing. But the bad news is that itsmore then likley that your network admin has locked down this type of access.
only IE keeps working via proxy.
Other 3rd party apps seem to prefer a direct connection ignorinng how windows settings are actually used to reach the Internet
I have exactly the same problem: IE can reach the Internet via the proxy in our work network and other apps like QuickGPS cannot.
Strangely enough this happens only with my HTC Touch cruise and does not happen with my Fujitsu Loox N560, which has exactly the same settings.
I have to note that I upgraded recently to WM 6.1 on the TC and that with WM6 it used to work
Any ideas
same problem for me... (qtek S200 & win 6.1)

activesync stops after internet sharing

I updated to the lovely windows 6. I could sync to my XP computer no problem until I've used the internet sharing utility. Then everytime I connect the phone to the computer, the computer networks with the internet sharing utility and activesync doesn't get a look in.
If I delete my vodafone 1240 from the activesync devices I can start again until I use internet sharing again.
I need both. How can I stop internet sharing so that activesync will again recognise the computer? I connect via the usb port.
Try to accept wireless connection in ActiveSync.
not sure if it will work for you, but what worked for me (HTC touch pro, custom ROM PROven):
1. go to Settings on your HTC, Connections, USB-to-PC, select ActiveSync radiobutton, uncheck the "Ask me first about...." checkbox.
2. connect your phone using active sync.
3. disconnect (unplug)
4. go to that same settings again. Now select the other radiobutton (DiskDrive), AND check the "Ask me first..." checkbox.
When you now again connect your phone, it will (hopefully) ask what connection you want to make.
Otherwise, try changing the order of the above actions.
hope that helps.
In case if the above post doesn't help
Activesync on PC uses LAN interface for data transfer between PC and WMPhone.
When you enable internet connection sharing it changes some connections' settings to manual - i.e. 192.168.0.1. So make sure that your LAN interface that is used by activesync, is set to get IP address automatically.

Check email through USB internet connection, how? (HTC Touch Pro / Raphael)

2 Questions:
[Question 1] - SOLVED & Thanks to all~
I want to use my Touch Pro to check my hotmail through USB internet connection with my PC. *Not Outlook @ my PPC.
What I've done:
1. I've set up an Hotmail account at my Touch Pro
2. I've tested to check Hotmail using HSDPA/3G/EDGE connection, everything is fine.
3. After plugging with my USB to my PC, I can browse internet through Opera.
Problem:
1. But with the USB connected to my PC, everytime I try to check my Hotmail from my Touch Pro, it starts connecting to internet by itself using HSDPA/3G/EDGE.
2. How to make it to use my USB connection?
[Question 2] (NEW & not solve yet > added & edited @ 17/10/2008)
Another question (but still regarding check email through USB).
My Touch-Pro is sync with my office PC's Outlook with my POP3 email. I'm at home now connected USB to my home PC (with Internet), can I use my mobile to check that outlook email through this USB connection?
Please, please, please help...

I don 't know how to select your internet connection actually. But you can allways block your HSDPA/3G/EDGE internet connection with NoDATA software (freeware, just two screen taps) enforcing your mobile use USB.
If anyone knows another solution I 'll be happy to hear.
I have an 838pro, but I usually just close any data connections first, then when the box pops up saying its going to connect via 3g, I cancel it and then it defaults to the usb/wifi connection. It seems WML defaults to using your 3g connection every time so unfortunately you have to do this every time.
Cheers
Thanks for the fast reply, will try both and update this thread again.
Btw, any chance we can modify the registry or etc to change the default connection?
Hey, it works! I've install NoData and use it to disable my Touch Pro 3G/GPRS connection, and check my Hotmail, and it works perfectly!
Thanks, freco & wireless
Glad you got it sorted - just a quick thought...
In the Activesync connection settings there is an option File > Connection Settings > "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop" - if you disabled/unchecked this would it not do the same thing?
I think "wireless connection" means WiFi.
If you 're wright when cradled or usb connected you cannot make or recieve calls with these setting, which is not happening.

I thougt it only applied to data - I've certainly made calls with my device docked. I`ll have a play with my htc later...
Just some update to this thread, I just have my Touch Pro 'hard-reset' due to touch panel was not functioning, and now after total hard-reset ...
I can use the USB connection without having 'NoData' installed...
wondering why...
in activesync connection settings, untick 'Allow wirelss connection on device when connected to desktop'
this should work
For each email account you have to manually choose which type of connection to use.
In email got to:
Menu->Tools->Options, select email, ->Edit account setup->Advanced Server Settings.
Now you can choose if you want the email to use GPRS or Wifi but you have to do this whole thing everytime you change! Not good.
For USB connection I don't know - could you perhaps tell us what it is using?
Thanks.

Hi have you solved hotmail problem with USB ?
hey i have an HTC touch but for some reason i cant change the password on the wireless network on the connection manager... i have an Alltel phone. but there are settings on it that change the password that i put in it to another one.. do you know how to fix that?

Huh, I installed it on my Fuze, turned off both data connections shown, launched Opera and it went right online via 3G! I then tried a soft reset and found the same behavior. The program seems to do nothing.
To solve this issue without downloading or using any extra piece of software:
1. Through Settings > All Settings > Connections > Connections
2. select Advanced > Select Networks > then choose My ISP as your internet communication method
3. choose New > enter any name you like then select a modem type "Hayes Compatible on COM1" or any option rather than Cellular GPRS, 3G.
4. the trick, just enter *99***2# in the required phone number as this is a Windows-based code to directly call a device for internet connection where you can replace the number 2 with any other number for multiple sharing internet connection with different devices at the same time.
Now everything will work just fine
Important notes:
-------------------
Make sure that:
1. in the "Network Connections" in Microsoft Windows XP or Vista you have a new icon of "Internet Connection" under Internet Gateway that appeared once you have connected your HTC in ActiveSync or WMDC 6.1 modes.
Hint:
you can use Internet Sharing application installed in HTC in order to create a new ISP connection profile instead of going through Connections option.
Hope this contribution could be usfeul,
Thanks

your pda doesn't supply a connection to your PC automatically.. it's only the other way around.
you can use either Internet Sharing (you can find material about it in this forum using the search option) or you can use a brilliant app called WMWifiRouter

[Q] Connecting PPC to internet via Computer???

I need to connect my PPC to internet via my computer (via USB cable or Bluetooth) can I do this?
Btw, Windows Mobile 6.1 is running on my device.
If i persume you mean you want to use the interenet from your phone on your computer then yes it's possible, "Internet Sharing" most WM phone have it built in.
If the opposite way you just use async or WMDC.
Yes, you guessed. My PC is connected to Internet but my mobile device isn't. So I need to connect my mobile device to the internet using my computer. I've tried WMDC but I couldn't find anyway to accomplish this
I found it, thank you!
Mobile Device Settings -> Change Connection Settings -> This computer is connected to -> Automatic
